Hermeticism

The Wind and the Earth

The carrying and nurturing of the One Thing.

The Wind carries the One Thing in its belly, representing spirit or breath that transmits creative power. The Earth is its nurse, grounding and nurturing manifestation. These four elements together complete the creative process.

The Earth is its nurse.

Hermes Trismegistus, The Emerald Tablet

The four elements work together in the great work of creation.
