What Do You Know About The Elements?
Most people have heard about the four elements Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Some have also heard of a fifth element, usually referred to as "Spirit." Typically, the elements are mentioned in fantasy stories and are often related to magic and mysticism. However, the average citizen of Western culture knows little about where the concept of the elements come from or what each of the elements is traditionally said to represent. The focus of this lens is on the Western system of five elements.
