This is a "whole deck" activity...I'm not sure how you all feel about the elements but thought we could play around with them a bit...this is EXPLORATION....of our decks after all...
Week #2 The Elements
This week we are going to play around a little bit with the elements and the cards in your deck.
The Four Elements:
Fire: Things are moving and things are changing. Fire represents change. Fire is passion and energy, inspiration and impulse.
Water: Things are not moving. Things are staying the same. Water represents emotions, mysticism, intuition, and nurturing.
Air: There are problems. Air represents mental processes, intellect, ideas, communication and social relationships
Earth: Things are grounded. Things are stable. Earth represents stability, being practical, materialism and being realistic.
Those are very basic ideas about each of the elements. Now take a piece of paper or an index card and write the name of each element. (One on each card) If you find it helpful jot down the definition or some key words about the element on the card also because what you are going to do next is place each card in your deck into one of the element groups.
Sit in a comfortable place and slowly pull a card. Look at it, reflect on it for a bit and then place it into one of the four groups. Take time to reflect but do not over analyze. Place it in the element group that first comes to mind.
When you are done…look at the groups. Count the cards in each group. PLEASE make a list on the back of your index card or piece of paper of the cards you sorted into each group because we will be working with these groupings again. Remember don’t worry about getting it RIGHT….there is no right or wrong here…just exploration.
I’d like to do an element activity at least once a month if we find them helpful. Once you have them recorded somewhere…THEN…come here and post whatever you might have discovered during this exploration…perhaps this activity will simply bring up questions, if so post those too.
