Water tempts us with a little taste of the Grail, then requires that we search within ourselves for the rest. Water is the eternal Grail of life.

Earth--Connection

It is the element of inspiration and is the creative force of the intellect expressing the mind of humankind.

Spirit--Transcendence

Spirit is the Element of the eternal and is the force that transcends form and power that pervades the All. Spirit transmutes all energy into matter and returns it to energy once again and is the many vibrational frequencies of life. It is the great mystery and is the undefined meaning of all beings. It has no paradigm. It is the foreign and of the familiar, and is the alien and the ally, both of whom we know intimately. Spirit is the Element with which we create our Divine, and from which, in turn, we are created.
