What is the spiritual meaning of Air?
Accomplishment no matter how small, is still an accomplishment; any accomplishment is a blessing.

It is a time to count your blessings. If your woes outnumber your blessings, count your blessings again.

How do I call upon Air?
To breathe and accept with practice comes experience, enlightenment, liberation.

From the East, the Equator, the Southern Hemisphere, Air is Green it is most powerful from the North in Summer. Air is the essence of accomplishment, it is all accomplishing (White) it represents fearlessness, protection, mental clarity, (Green) The Northern Hemisphere, Western society relates: Air blowing from the West and is promoted from the South with the heat of the sun and the divine Masculine.

​For the alchemist, spellcaster, witch, wizard or weavers of energy: The blend of energy at the Autumn Equinox sees the change in energy from male to female, from Sun to Moon, from South to North. As the wind changes, so does perspective:
Practice is complimented with Experience.
Wisdom is complimented with Enlightenment.
Fearlessness is complimented with Liberation.

The Celtic Druid or modern day alchemist will understand the importance of the seasons, Bnwyfre the breath of life. The power of the sun and the moon when invoking energies to work for the greater good. Enjoying the energy on a Tibetan mountain in summer will mean the wind will carry good intentions south, enjoying the energy on a mountain in Wales in the Summer will carry the good intentions North. Knowing the seasons and understanding the power of the elements encourages alchemy to always work for the best and highest ability. The power of the gentlest breeze or lightest breath should be utilized always. The power of dying can come from the last breath.

The Tarot is an amazing tool for divination recognised throughout many cultures.
Air is recognised within the swords, deemed to be masculine and here in the western society from the West. It is the freedom of movement and lack of ties, a single sword portrayed within the Tarot as the Ace handed down from clouds as a gift from spirit. A single sword cuts away all restrictions, all bonds and liberates and creates freedom.

Air and Fire are influenced by the Sun and the divine masculine, coming from the West and the South. (northern hemisphere) Earth and Water are influenced by the Moon and the divine feminine, coming from the North and the East. When all of these are in alignment and balanced the Aetheric energy surrounding you is in total harmony, this is the point where the impossible becomes possible and time, place and circumstance create their own 'happenance.'

Since the beginning of time the animal kingdom including us have related to the four directions and four elements. Here in the Northern Hemisphere we relate to:
North    / East    /  South  /   West  - Horizontal
Earth   / Water  /    Fire   /    Wind  - Aether
Winter / Spring /  Summer / Autumn – Year
Lunar / Dawn   / Mid- day / Dusk – Horizontal
 
Earth, Wind, Fire and Water as Elements. We relate the associated directions as North, West, South and East, with the seasons being Winter, Autumn, Summer and Spring.
The natural power we can attune to with natural perception or through meditation, all of us have a natural ability to aspire to be a better person then we were yesterday. The art of alchemy = The transfer of energy we generate too natural.
