Neat! This is very much like the Chinese cycle of the elements (looks like a Pentacle), with those on the circular border creating/feeding each other, and the interaction between them along the star lines destroying each other.Chatmauve said:I’ve been thinking a lot about this so called “fifth element” recently. Most people say that it’s the spirit and while I don’t disagree, I believe that there is more to it. The way that I see the fifth element is as a culmination of all of the other elements. You could call it “spirit” or “soul”, but I prefer not to name it.
Let’s take the suits of the tarot and arrange them around a pentacle as an analogy, as an example...
