Earth, Water, Air, Fire

Ancient beliefs held that the world consisted of four primary elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. 

These were considered the fundamental energy forces that sustain life, existing both in the physical universe and the human body. Maintaining a balance among these elements ensures physical and psychological well-being. 

The combination of these four elements creates life, in conjunction with a fifth element—the life force, or spirit. Nearly all cultures worldwide hold the four elements in high esteem.

Earth is emblematic of prosperity, stability, fertility, groundedness, creativity, intuition, and wisdom.

Water embodies healing, flow, purification, strength, devotion, and unconditional love. It symbolizes death and rebirth, giving life yet also capable of destroying it.

Air represents the breath of life and possesses cleansing power, symbolizing harmony, travel, intelligence, and perception.

Fire is regarded as the first element born at the universe's creation, known for its transformative and purifying nature. It provides warmth and life while also having the capacity to destroy. Fire signifies light, the sun or flame, and embodies energy, activity, creativity, freedom, power, strength, and courage.
