Water is one of the four classical elements, which also includes Earth, Fire and Air. A fifth element, Spirit or Akasha, is also sometimes included – and can represent the five points on the Pentacle.
Water represents emotions, feelings, courage, absorption, subconscious/ unconscious mind, intuition, purification, cleansing, eternal movement, wisdom, the soul, vision quests, self-healing, sorrow, reflection, psychic ability, emotional aspects of love and femininity, the womb, menstruation, fertility, marriage, happiness, friendship, dreams, sleep, and healing.
Water symbols include oceans, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, springs, wells, pools, fog, or rain. Types of magick using water include mirror divinations, magnet work, love magick, lucid dreaming, cleansing, or protection spells. Water related rituals include ritual bathing, dilution, washing, sprinkling, brewing, or tossing objects into water.
