THE ELEMENTS-principles of Draconic Magick

THE ELEMENTS

A lightning flash:
between forest trees.
I have seen water.
Japanese Haiku, written by Shiki, 1867-1902
  
FIRE
Fire Volatile light - etheric electromagnetism - hot and dry - positive electric 
 
WATER
Water Dense life energy - structured orgone (prana, ki) - cold and humid - negative magnetic 

AIR
Air Volatile life energy - etheric orgone (prana, ki) - hot and humid - positive magnetic

EARTH
Earth Dense ("frozen") light - structured electromagnetism - cold and dry - negative electric 

Fire and Water are the two primary elements, opposite polarities, so to say. Air and Earth are considered to be secondary, or mixtures of the first two. This is a manner of viewing it.
Some researchers see air as an interaction between the two basic principles of fire and water and earth as the synthesis of the three. The symbolism of Divine trinities "above" the world of manifestation somewhat reflects this view.
Electric and Magnetic relates to the phenomena of electromagnetic energy and life energy. The fire element is electric-positive. On the material plane it is energy, or light, in its conventional meaning. The earth element is electric-negative. It is structured light, or "frozen light" as some researchers say. Modern physics somewhat supports this theory.

The air element is magnetic-positive. On the material plane it is active life energy, or free life energy. The water element is magnetic-negative, or structured life. 

If we relate the four elements to the material plane, we can easily order the four elements. Earth and Water belong to the dense material plane while air and fire are part of the etheric plane. The labels "positive" and "negative" are references to density. The elemental references as being "fire," "air," etc., are pictures to make us understand easier the basic qualities. The references to electromagnetism and life energy, dense (structured) and volatile (etheric, non-structured) conform more with the realities of modern physics and magic of the future.

The four elements supply us with an excellent model for the planes of existence and in correlation with it planes of experience within ourselves. The earth element refers to that which is conscious, or the material planes. The water element refers to the human emotions and to the astral plane. The air element refers to the human mind and the mental plane, while the fire element refers to the human will and the causal plane.

Wizards see some "entities" or energies of a higher order that correlate to the four elements. These traditional elementals are the salamanders for the fire element, the sylphs are spirits of the air element, the undines are spirits of the water element, and the gnomes are spirits of the earth element. 

In a technological sense we may view spirits as energies of a higher order that are made to manifest (personify) in the etheric plane.

We may conclude that Fire and Earth are electric energy. Fire is positive electric, active and light energy generating as well as Volatile, that is, etherical, non-tangible. Earth is negative electric, passive, receptive and frozen-structured light generating as well as  Dense, that is, tangible, physical.     Moreover, electric equals conductive, channeling. One hot, the other one cold and both dry.
Furthermore, Air and Water are magnetic energy.  Air is positive, magnetic, active life energy(Ki generating)non-tangible or Volatile, that is, etherical, conductive, channeling while Water is negative, magnetic, passive life energy(Ki generating) tangible, structured.
The accurate knowledge of Draconic Magick, Alchemy or Nature Magick is based on the 5 elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Aether(Quintessence)
