Product Details Size: 8.5 by 11 inches Parchment-style printed paper Bears an invocation of the element of Water Invocation text by Travis Bowman; illustration by Eliot Alexander By AzureGreen; sold as a single print, unframed About the Element of Water Water is the element of emotion and intuition: of feeling, love, dreams, and cleansing. In much of Western elemental tradition it is placed in the west, the direction of dusk and the setting sun, and linked to autumn, to the sea, the river, and the rain. It governs the inner life, the tides of mood and memory, and the gentle, persistent power that wears away stone. In ritual magic, to invoke an element is to invite its energy to be present within you and your circle, drawing it inward rather than summoning it before you. This print carries the words of such a calling for Water; how you use it is up to you and your own tradition. How to Display the Water Invocation Poster Choose a spot where you will see it: on an altar, on a wall, or kept with your ritual references. If your tradition places Water in the west, you might display it at that quarter. Frame it in a standard 8.5 by 11 inch frame to protect the paper, or pin or tack it directly if you prefer an unframed look. Keep it out of direct sun and away from damp so the parchment-style paper and print stay crisp. If it suits your practice, read the invocation aloud as you call the quarter or set up your circle. Pairs Well With Candles: light one as you call the quarters. Spiritual Books: further reading on elemental magic and the four elements. Dried Herbs: herbs associated with Water to use at the western quarter. Raw Crystals: a stone to set with the print on your altar. Smudge Sticks: cleanse the space before you set it up.
