xP's 'element' (in the mediaeval sense) (if I am right) is Fire: the fire which fragments and ushers in many kinds of Revolutions; but also the fire of Creation (as in Tarot XVI, 'The Tower'* (struck by lightning)).** 'Smouldering' resentment, of course; 'blazing' anger; and the digestive problems of acidity which I seem to be particularly prone to, in this area, are more like fire than anything else (internally) physical I have ever felt. +K and +Mk also have something of fire in their natures; xS, little or nothing.

I am not quite sure where 'the Fire of Love' fits into this, except that Love is the propelling quality that sends one out on the Inner Circle, whose next 'element' is fire; so the Love is presumably still present in, and driving, the Individual as he passes through Fire. In this matter of 'Elements' I am heterodox to (for example) Astrology, whose attributions of them to the Constellations I can make no sense of. Obviously these four 'Elements' have nothing*** to do with the elements known to Science, and are concepts employed for a different purpose altogether. Characterisation of the employment of these four Elements as ignorance would itself be an ignorance.

*of Destruction. In French, 'La Maison Dieu': the House (of) God? <890930>

**(Tarot XI, Fortitude, depicted as a Woman overcoming a Lion, shows the female side overcoming the male (xL); cf. Corvus and Crater, the (Forbidden) Cup. ([...]'s chief resentment, I believe, is against, her father, her brother(s), and men in general.)****
