Among the most ancient of myths we find that before Creation the Universe was in Chaos. Divinity then entered into Chaos and drew the four elements of Creation into harmony. These elements are called earth, air, fire and water. Traditionally the pentagram symbolizes the Divine Spirit presiding over the four creative elements. Spirit (the fifth element) provides equilibrium, which directs the elemental process of creation. It is an ancient belief that one or more of the elemental natures are required in order to create anything on the material plane.
