Spirit/Center/Akasha

The fifth element it has no gender association and no set place within a ritual circle. Directionally seen as above and below, inside and out, in the center and all about us and within all the other elements. It both trancends and interpenertates them. Although spirit can be associated with magick using cords, cloaks, or any item that ties, binds unifies, or connects other elements.

One of the interatations of the pentagram, the five-pointed star that has come to symbolze much of western paganism, is one of elemental unity.

The relationship between spirit and the other elements on the pentagram presents spirit as the ruler of the apex, under which all the others take their place.
