    Elemental Correspondences
    Not all witches use elemental correspondences, and among those who do, there is a great deal of variation. The most
    common elements used in Wicca and witchcraft are earth, air, fire, and water. Spirit is often added to acknowledge the
    spiritual component of them all.

    When invoking the elements, they are often associated with the cardinal directions. often with Air in the East, Fire in
    the South, Water in the West, and Earth in the North. However, this is by no means the only possibility. The elements
    themselves may vary as well. For example, some Celtic traditions use earth, sky, and water, and others use the
    cosmological realms of Underworld, Earth, and Sky.

    correspondences include Scott Cunningham, Silver Ravenwolf, Amber Wolfe, Yasmine Galenorn, and Branwen's
