In my Tradition, I wear a Pentagram as a representation of the Elements. Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and of course the Fifth Element, Ether. Each one of these representations plays a special part in my daily Ritual and Spiritual Devotionals. As we delve into the deepest inner core that we are, we often times will find that we have within us a hidden beauty rarely seen by those who would choose to offer senseless rambling words meant to offend or defeat. I reflect that which is in my soul, all that I have lived, all that I have known. Cycle upon cycle, emotion upon emotion, I work through my feelings in the art which I create and the words I write. I reverberate with all that I have known, whether it be ugly, despairing, uplifting or exquisite, moments that are known to most sentient beings. Anyone who can honestly say that they have not been affected by negativity I take off my cap to. Death of Spirit only occurs when one is defeated. Defeat is something which I will never know.
