The 4 elements are the 4 cornerstones of the Wiccan faith. All 4 are as important as each other and one of these cannot survive without the other 3. The balance of life relies on the balance of these 4 very vital elements. They are: AIR, FIRE, WATER AND EARTH.
I have added a section for each of these elements. Each element section has a detailed description of each element, and everything you might need to know about them.
