The Four Elements of the Tarot

THE ELEMENTS & THE TAROT

WATER ~ if the card shows water, do I feel drawn to it? Do I want to immerse myself in it, drink it, anoint myself with it, look for my reflection in it, bathe in it or perhaps just paddle in it?

AIR ~ if it shows air element symbology, do I want to breathe it in? Can I feel a soothing breeze? Is it blowing cobwebs from my mind? Is it whispering anything to me? Is it carrying things away or blowing things towards me?

FIRE ~ if it shows fire, does it feel warming or burning? Does it feel threatening or purifying? Is it healing my emotions, like watching the embers in a log fire slowly marching across the wood, or does it evoke a sense of danger or warning?

EARTH ~ if it shows earth, do I feel supported, at home, grounded? If there is a path, do I want to follow it? If there is a building or a room, am I drawn to enter it? Does it feel like home? Am I in a mountainous, rocky landscape where I need to tread more carefully, or is the way ahead clear and unobstructed?
