What are the elements of earth?

What do the five elements represent? Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit.?

• I mean like emotions. What do they represent. Like with fire it's usually anger. So if you could tell me that for all of them that would be great. Thanks!

• Answer:

  Air Warm and moist, active. Corresponding direction - East. Represents clear perception and intelligence. Associated with the first breath of life and speech. Fire Warm and dry, active, incredibly energetic. Corresponding direction - South. It has the power to destroy and purify. It is seen as the beginning and end as it is considered the source of life and the destroyer of life. Water Cool and moist, passive, creative, transformative. Embodied esoterically as the primal waters of all creation. Corresponding direction - West. Represents the subconscious, receptivity, and regeneration. Earth Dry and cool, passive, fertile. Corresponding direction - North. Earth is born of the above three elements. Represents stability, groundedness, and the ability to manifest. Spirit Spirit is above but is the connecting point of the other four elements (shown opening picture of this page). It is the embodiment of the alchemical phrase "As Above, So Below." As we come to understand the four elements, we come closer to understanding divinity as their source. ---------------------------- I hope this is helpful.
