Air is represented by the Direction/ Guardian of the Watchtower of the East quarter and the colors Yellow or White. Air is the element of the East, connected to the soul and the breath of life. It is the element of creativity, mental activity, and inspiration (to be able to breathe in) and is used for divination and prophecy. Air is connected to the soul. It is considered masculine in nature. When we work with Air we think of the divine breath of Spirit, the ability to move through space and time, and the wisdom that comes from our experience and study. When we invite Air into our circle at the east quarter we draw forth the sacred breath of life with vigor and clarity. Like the element of earth, air also has a long list of angelic and deity correspondences.
