We are held by the four elements at all times: by Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. TheseĀ ingredientsĀ sustain us and give us life, and beyond that--Ā our bodies and heartsĀ are literally MADE from them. Some of us feel more connected to one element than the others,Ā perhaps to the one related to our Sun Sign, and others of us feel a call from another element to balance us out.Ā
EARTH: For grounding and returning to the Mother, to the joy in having our basic needs met. Without earth, we would have no soil to nourish us. Earth is ruled by Saturn, and the Zodiac signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
WATER: For purification, soothing, and cleansing. Without water there would be no flowers, no trees, no life. Water is ruled by Venus, and the Zodiac signs are Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio.Ā
AIR: For creativity, inner knowing, and wisdom. Without air we would not be human; we would not have the intelligence to look beyond this world. Air is ruled by Jupiter, and the Zodiac signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
FIRE: For transformation, evolution, and loving warm energy. Without fire we would have no love and no ability to grow and change. Fire is ruled by Mars, and the Zodiac signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.Ā
A portion of all sales from The Elements Drop are being donated to The Or Foundation. The Or Foundation is seeking to help and support the people of Accra, Ghana that are handling much of the waste from our unwanted clothing. The Or is working to establish circularity/recycling in textile waste, apprenticeships from local artisans for young women that are currently in dire working conditions, research around fashion's waste crisis and how it's exploiting those involved in the secondhand market, and so much more.
