Elementals of Water
A drop of kindness, a wave of love. Join the Elementals of Water within the Temple of Venus and discover your inner naiad.
Water is the element of emotion and flow. Physically, it spreads to fill the farthest reaches of the Temple. Energetically, it is a conduit for the energy of the Temple. Spiritually, it cleanses, rejuvenates, and soothes the Temple community. In addition, Water embodies the spiritual path of sacred service. Its power often remains hidden but it can move mountains and carve canyons.
Within the Temple, the Elementals of Water will provide service to the Temple community, including maintaining the water altar, carrying water to those who need it, and anointing those who wish to receive the blessing of sacred oil. You will facilitate the flow of energy by providing guidance, assistance, and support to the ritual participants. You can also feed the flow by encouraging others to join you in dancing and cavorting.
Elementals of Water will have the opportunity to explore in depth the spiritual path of sacred service as well as become attuned to the element of water. You will learn how to navigate the delicate dance of giving and receiving service. A guided meditation/spiritual journey will take you to the Realm of Water. You will brainstorm and implement ideas to create opportunities for the Temple community to interact with each other (this is our excuse to cavort). Finally, you will be given the opportunity to have a hands-on lesson in the art of making mead.
