Can someone explain these to me & how you work with them? Thanx!

YANG Fire likes Air (but not Water) Air Likes Fire (but not Earth) YIN Water likes Earth (but not Fire) Earth likes Water (but not Air) So ~ Earth can be a bridge between Water and Fire or Fire can be a bond connecting Air and Earth, etc.

I like the way you put that Fulgour! Who will play nice together...fire just won't play with water...he doesn't like to get extinguished! Check out the book Tarot Decoded understanding and using dignities and correspondances by elizabeth hazel great book...I'm working on it now.

I remember those thus: Air fans Fire's flames but water puts them out. Water nourishes the Earth but destroys Fire. From there the rest sort of follow.

How about... "In ancient times, considerable note was made of understanding the elements, for these were considered the building bricks of the Universe, and hence many believed that these were also part of the basic structure of themselves...." EARTH AIR WATER FIRE from: The Order of the White Lion, by J. Shell The Four Elements

I found that writing things out, making symbolic drawings, and just thinking about the long history and many beliefs, helped me see that for a very long time people have given this subject careful attention. ...and, it's fun! :laugh:
