On The Elements: Water

Of all the elements none can be fully experienced or sensed physically in the way that water can. It soothes with its coldness, eases with its warmth, and suspends with its immersion. ‘=

Perhaps the easiest way to understand water metaphysically would be through the physical and immersive properties of water. To understand water is to understand connection that cannot be touched, only felt. For ultimately water is about two things, emotion and connection. (with many sub facets)

The astrological components of water are the energies of pisces, in the form of mutable water. Cancer in the form of cardinal water, and scorpio in the form of fixed water. All of the elements in fact can be thought of as having three different aspects to them a cardinal, mutable, and fixed aspect. This is reflected in the heavens.

Mutable water can be explained as a stream, this water is free falling, guided only by gravity and the shape of its vessel. This water forms the veins of the earth, connecting other great bodies of water and providing physical and nutritive connection where its environment deems it should flow. The mutable energy of water seeks freedom and expansion and has little shape of its own. Its mission is to spread the qualities of water between less mobile aspects itself and those things and places which may lack its resources.

Fixed water could be explained as the steadfast expanse of the ocean. However in the context of scorpio I prefer to think of the mariana trench. Fixed water is unyielding, not because of stubbornness but because of vastness. Fixed water is representative of the subconscious, the primal, and the repressed, particularly themes of emotion, and spiritualism.

Cardinal water is the genesis of water, a deep spring with frothing bubbles bursting forth from the earth. Dying the sand it soaks with itself a rich brown. Cardinal water is about bringing forth emotions and connections where they have not yet been reached. Cardinal water seeks to be the spark of emotion, the voice which advocates for emotions, and a provider of spiritual sustenance.

Magically the correlations between water and practical magic differs very little. The focus however does become just that, practical. . The energy of water can be harnessed for many task it is most suited for those task which align with the following correspondences:

Emotion

Soothing/easing

Healing

Cleansing/washing

Divination

Spirit work

Protection of the emotional body

Illusion

Sense8 worldbulding headcanon

What if Angelica’s emotions and thoughts, her fear and her anger and her determination to bring Whispers down, played a part in her birthing that particular cluster. Those 8 were always destined to be a single cluster, of course, but when Angelica was gestating(?) she was reaching out subconsciously, praying for survivors, for fighters, for children that could survive.

And she birthed a cluster where every one of them is a badass.

I get that the show needed the cluster to have multiple fighters to make for exciting actions scenes, but how common would it really be that one cluster had 3 experienced fighters, a hacker, actor, scientist and badass survivor and DJ networker? They do kill a awful lot of mooks in the series.

Angelica birthed a terrifying cluster into the world, one that took down the Cannibal in three years. Other clusters are incredibly grateful but they never totally relax around them.

(Which is how the main cluster like it. Whenever anyone starts to poke into Angelica’s research they like to Visit. Make sure people remember the kill count the last time someone used their mother’s research for the wrong reasons.)

— casual ways to connect with deities

pray to them

straight up just talk to them, tell them about your day

offer some of your meal to them (or alternatively, the steam from your meal)

cook with them and/or for them

pick a movie to watch with them, especially if it connects to things they rule over (i.e. a romcom with hera or aphrodite, a documentary about the sea for poseidon, etc)

give them the first sip of your morning drink, or even make a cup for them

assign them a stuffed animal and take care of it as a devotion to them (bonus points if that animal is sacred to them or if you associate it with them)

say good morning/good night

thank them for the things you see (i.e. thanking apollo when you see a pretty sunrise/sunset, thank hypnos for a good night’s sleep, etc)

blow kisses to them
