The items within the magical symbolism are the components of the basis of everything. These four elements, earth, air, fire and water,are both visible and invisible, physical and spiritual.
From these elements have been made all things, so says themagical thinking. Our current scientific knowledge, according to which there are many more of these "bricks" do not harmonize with this statement, but it's actually a rat much more refined version.
It 'just wise to consider the four elements in physical terms only. The earth for example, refers not only to the planet we live on, but alsothe phenomenon of strength, stability and foundation. Similarly, the focus is much more of the flame.
The system of the elements has been studied and refined during the Renaissance, but has its roots much further back in history.
Although the items are described as "male and female" it should not be seen as sexist. Like all systems, this is also symbolic in that it describes the fundamental qualities of the elements in terms readily understandable.
