Salt and Earth
Inspired by the alchemical elements representing the body, physical matter, and the material world.
Salt is powerful with purification and protective qualities that can help the body and spirit to heal. It can cleanse us physically and energetically and is believed to extract or release what no longer serves us in our energetic field. It forms the key Body (Corpus) element in the Tria Prima and is the primary catalyst, which transmutes all other physical matter. Its symbol is a circle bisected by a horizontal
Earth also represents the physical body and the processing of the material world around us. Earth can represent physical movements and sensations and plays a key in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. We are born of the earth, and it is the most fundamental element in the making of our physical selves. Earth is the most basic and stable of the five basic elements upon which all the other elements build on. Its symbol is a downward-pointing triangle, bisected by a horizontal line.
