Water is the cleansing, healing, psychic, loving element. It washes over us when we see our mates; supports us when we swim; gives us life when we are dehydrated. Dew dusts plants after the sun sets. Rainstorms (one manifestation of this element) drench us.
Taste pure water. Move your hand through a stream, lake, pool, or bowl full of water. Feel its cool liquidity; it’s soft touch. Listen to water trickling into a pool. As you do these things, remember that we contain Water energy within ourselves as well.
The energy of this element is vital to our well-being as humans, for it contains within it the essence of love. Love is the underlying reason for all magic. Water is love.
Fire is the creator and the destroyer. It warms our homes, cooks our food, and fuels our passions. Unlike the other elements, Fire cannot exist in physical form without consuming something else. Thus, fire transforms objects into new forms: heat, light, ash, and smoke.
On a sunny day, go outside at noon and press your receptive hand against a warm rock. Smell the smoke from a burning fire. Gaze into a candle’s flame. Immerse yourself in Fire energy, and realize that it also exists within ourselves.
Fire must be controlled to be of benefit to us. When we light a candle, we call upon its powers-but also limit them. This is necessary if its physical forms are to be of use. But even a raging forest fire actually helps the Earth, clearing away underbrush and encouraging dormant seeds to burst into new life.
Here are some of the magical associations of Fire:
BASIC NATURE: Purifying, destructive, cleansing, energetic, sexual, forceful. Heat is a manifestation of this element.

Scientists and magicians may have different views concerning this element, but all agree that it’s vital to human survival.
Without air, we would perish.
Air is the power of movement; of freshening and of intelligence. It’s the invisible and yet quite real mixture of gases that we breathe in every day. In magical terms, Air is also the power of the mind: the force of intellect.
Go to a place with clean air and breathe deeply.Touch a feather. Inhale the fragrance of a heavily scented flower. Study an intricately patterned leaf. Experience the wonders of the manifestations of this element. Remember, too, that we possess Air energy within ourselves.
Here are some Air associations:
BASIC NATURE: Flying, moving, fresh, intelligent, suspending. Sound is a manifestation of this element.
TYPE OF ENERGY: Projective.
COLOR: Yellow (the yellow of the sun, the sky at dawn).
Earth is our mother. It’s as fertile and nurturing as farmland; as moist as soil and as dry as sand. In its physical manifestations (such as stones), Earth represents the densest of the elements.
Press your hand against fresh dirt. Feel it’s stability, its earthiness. Know that within its fertile surface we’ve raised our food; on it we live our lives; within it we bury our deceased.
We couldn’t exist in this form without the Earth. But our planet is simply a manifestation of this element. True
Earth energy also exists within ourselves and within the universe at large.
Here are some symbolic associations of Earth. Think about these aspects of this most basic element.
BASIC NATURE: Fertile, moist, nurturing; stabilizing; grounding. Gravity is a manifestation of this element.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENT: Drum, all percussion instruments.
So I’m aware of the mass hex that’s supposedly happening on the full moon on the 5th against the police, the institution, and white suprememcists, however I have NOT seen any instructions or resources shared by a specific organiser. I largely feel as though it was an idea that floated around but never gained enough traction to be planned properly
I’d like to propose this spell that I have found in on of my books on witchcraft (Inner magic: a guide to modern witchcraft by Ann-Marie Gallagher)
The beauty of this spell is that it is not a hex or curse, so it’s safe for inexperienced witches to do without anything bad rebounding on them. It’s a binding spell created to stop a wrongdoer from continuing to do harm, I believe we will be able to name the wrongdoer as ‘those against the BLM protesting’.
This spell, however, should be performed on a WANING moon on a SATURDAY, which would be this Saturday coming (Sat 6th June), since the full moon is on the 5th.
