Here's a challenge. What elementals would you associate with elements outside of the four classic Greek elements? What would you imagine to be a Solar Elemental, or a Wood Elemental, Metal Elemental, Ice Elemental? First, imagine. Then, try to evoke and see if what you call upon matches what you've imagined.

I associate foxes with the Solar Element, personally. Wolves with the Lunar Element. The Fair Folk with the Wood Element. Strangely, I imagine a Crane being linked to the Metal Element (don't ask me why, I have no idea).

Well, I'm still working on it, but, symbolically speaking, light is what allows us to see, and therefore Darkness would be the unknown, the unforeseen, or that which is yet to exist in a quantifiable manner. To an ultimate being, if it is yet to be known, it could be made to be known as anything. Another way to put it would be that, to that ultimate being, it is already known to be exactly what they desire it to be. I could wax poetic about it all day, but the general idea is that Darkness would represent the chaos from which all we "allow" to be comes from. Of course that all probably only makes sense to people like myself who have rather circular views about God. My views on God are both Pantheistic and Panentheistic. Although that has to do with my belief in something akin to the Akasha. More Jainism than Hinduism.

Although I wouldn't really count light as an element.

Peace.
