The wind on your face, the gentle bird song in the morning hours, the glorious fluffs of cloud passing through the sky, and that wonderful release of taking a long deep breath; these are all sources of air magick.
Air cannot be seen only felt and is a vital element to all life. Without it we would simply perish. If you have been thinking about adding some air magick into your own practice keep on reading!
The Air is connected with the mind, intellect, creativity, and freedom. It is the very element that allows us to take breathe and live. Air Magick is literally all around us each and every day. We can’t see it, but it is always there for us. And I think it’s often taken for granted!
This post is the second in a four part series covering the elements; earth, air, fire, water. If you missed it, you can have a look at the first post in the series, Earth Magick. And stay tuned for the third part in the series, Fire, to be posted soon.
Making Air Magick Part of Your Everyday Practice
It’s important for us to make space in our days for that powerful natural energy each element contains. Being mindful of this will enrich your connection to nature, bringing balance, and powerful magick to your practice.
Air energy exists all around us as well as within us. This energy is associated with light, spring time, newness, and sound. Including this element into your days in a mindful and purposeful way will have you feeling more in tune with the natural world as well as with yourself.
Stand in the wind and just appreciate it, burn incense during your magickal workings, or get lost in a beautiful piece of music. There are many easy and fulfilling ways for us to connect with that air energy as we go about our days. We just need to open our minds and be aware that we are doing it.
