It is from Water, as the womb of the Earth Mother, from which
life first emerged, and it is Water (Her lifeblood) that nurtures
us. Water is the feminine principle, and negative (as in battery
charge). As Guardian of the West, it is the direction where the
Sun sets, and where souls pass to the invisible world beyond.
Water corresponds to the Moon that pulls its tides, and to the
subconscious mind and memories, including all the past memories
and lessons of the Soul. It represents the intuitive revealing
of mystery and the raw emotion that can confound the logical
rationale of Air, or turn mere knowledge into wisdom. From Water,
we seek cleansing, sensitivity, understanding, compassion and
love, and are mindfully respectful of instabilities that can
emerge from our uncontrolled emotions.
The Elementals associated with Water are the Undines. Other
correspondences include Cups (in Tarot), hearts (in common cards),
the chalice or anything in the ritual circle that is liquid or
contains liquid (the water dish, the cauldron. It is any body of
water (sea, pond, lake, river), rain, yin, warm and moist wind,
Cancer, Scorpio (the Eagle), Pisces, Moon, Pluto, Neptune, the
Autumn season, the color blue (which most commonly marks the
West Watchtower), other sea colors and silver.
