About This Item

Air

The four elements of antiquity -- earth, water, air and fire -- dominated natural philosophy for two thousand years. The premise that everything was formed from these four elements was developed by the Greek philosopher Empepedocles of Sicily and continued to be believed until the rise of modern science. Even today earth, water, air and fire are not bad symbols for the four states of matter -- solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Science has discovered new ideas, but in the field of Mysticism these elements are still important to illustrate the oneness of all.

Air is the gaseous form of matter which is mobile and dynamic. Within the body, air (oxygen) is the basis for all energy transfer reactions. It is a key element required for fire to burn. Air is existence without form. The wind is the motion of air. The air of the planet has been generated by biological means, largely photosynthesis, where plants take in carbon dioxide and water then release oxygen as a by-product.

I picked up the Ancient Elements: Air traveller at Norris Peak. I'll do my best to get it moving east, but for some reason it just likes to move north :p

I found this TB in the Wichita Traveler Motel. According to the log it had been there about 40 minutes before I came and snagged it up. I've heard about people spending short periods in Motels, but this is just plum crazy!

I see the Elements of air is supposed to travel east, but it seems to be caught in a north wind as it has travled another 100 miles north since I found it in Wichita! Strange times all around us...

I'll be getting it on it's way soon!

Found this one along with Fire today. They are damp and I will let them dry out really well, replace their paperwork and zip lock bags and then release them. Air may not be going EAST exactly, but it will be dry!
