ELEMENTS

Based on To Peel A Pom, I've begun associations with elements of the seasons and how they fit into Judaism. It isn't nearly as easy as I thought it would be.

Winter= Air (cold and sharp, The Swords), Water (snow, ice and rain) Fire and Light: the Menorah, the Festival lights, the Light of Torah. Miracle Earth. Paradox Earth, Magical Earth. The Frozen Earth that gives birth to the Child of the New Age (the Christ) and redemption (Chanakuh)

Spring= Water (spring rain), the unfrozen waters of lakes and rivers, the waters of the parting Red Sea at Passover, flooding. Air, water in the air. The Destroyer in the Air over Egypt. The Pillar of Cloud, Rain Clouds. Fire: The pillar of fire, the Shininah. Earth= the overly fertile earth, the mundanely fertile earth, the earth which provides food, Adonai, baruch atah adonai, elohenie melech haolam, le motzi lachem min haretz amen. The land providing bread.
