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).

I use a basic four-fold elemental model. The four elements of my elemental model are: Earth; Water; Air; and, Fire. I interassociate those four basic elements to elucidate each element.

For example:

Earth is elucidated by Water of Earth; Air of Earth; and, Fire of Earth.

Water is elucidated by Earth of Water; Air of Water; and, Fire of Water.

etc.. for the other two elements.

Note: the three-fold interassociations that elucidate each of the four elements do not imply that an element results from combining together its eluciations. i.e. Earth does not result from the combination of Water, Air, and Fire; Water does not result from the combination of Earth, Air, and Fire; etc...


**********


Although the three-fold elucidations are not constituents of each element, I do combine the four elements to form eleven compounds: six combinations of two elements; four combinations of three elements; and one combination of the four elements. Each compound has a unique name.

For example:

Loam = earth + water

etc.. for the other ten compounds.
