Let's get started!
According to the LWB: (any typo errors are mine of course!)
There are 4 element cards (can also be used to depict the 4 Guardians in ritual magick)
1. Athame representing east and the element of air.
2. Pentacle representing north and the element of earth.
3. Cup representing west and the element of water.
4. Wand representing south and the element of fire.
So far the LWB.
Anyone familiar to Tarot will recognise these cards and its references easily. In a way they remind me of the aces in a deck. Even the names are almost similar with the sword being renamed as a wiccan ritual piece called Athame.
I know hardly anything of Wicca so it would be nice if someone could tell us more of the purpose of the Athame. And of course about how the elements are used for ritual or meditating purpose. And what about "the 4 Guardians in ritual magick"? Meanwhile I promise to read more about Wicca
Of those 4 cards I like the wand best with it's small leaves growing out of the branch while being surrounded by flames. Thinking with my tarotmind I see this card as an outburst of creativity, as the beginnings of a proces.
I wonder why the element cards do not start with the wand like in most tarot decks. What would be the idea behind it? At first sight this deck looks beautiful and in a way simple drawn. But there is so much use of colours which settle in my brain, so many details if you give it a closer look.
Now it is your turn, for questions and answers.
Blessings
