When you feel you are sufficiently adept at
using the other Elements, you may begin to use
spirit – the fifth Element. This has no special
space but is everywhere. It should never ever
be used negatively because, particularly when
you are weak and tired, it can rebound on you.
You may well find that you instinctively link
strongly with the life force as spirit, in which
case you are probably succeeding in bringing
all the Elements together within yourself. There
is no particular colour associated with spirit –
perception is all-important. If you choose to
represent spirit on the altar, you may do so
however you wish. You are free to use your
intuition and you must have a very strong
awareness of your reason for choosing that
particular symbol.
