Air

Air is a powerful element that represents change and movement.

As humans, we would not be able to survive without Air, but as witches, we would not be able to craft without it.

Air is responsible for carrying our intentions to the Source so that they can be heard by the Universe. The element of Air allows us to send our magick across the globe and through the cosmos, and it aids us in creating change.

Air generates power and movement. When we’re working with the Air element we can use it to create momentum in our lives and in our rituals. Air can bring us clarity and help us connect with the Gods and Source. Mercury is representative of the air element as a planet, a metal, and a deity. Mercury is the planet of the mind and it rules over communication and technology. From the breath we draw in to the breath we release to speak, we would not be able to communicate without the power of air.

Air also helps us to connect to the higher power. Through its transcendent qualities, Air allows us to achieve enlightenment and gain clarity on matters at hand. Air moves energies throughout the world and therefore it can be helpful in banishing old energies to create room for the new, as well as bringing in the new energies we seek.

In the Craft, incense are most commonly used to represent air in ritual practices, but there are a couple of other ways you can pay homage to the Air element in ritual, such as a folding fan, certain crystals, and specific candle colors.

There are many reasons you may choose to conjure the Air element and its innate strength is beneficial for ensuring any job will be done.
