Wheel of Being

The Wheel of Being

This is an old celtic symbol that I have updated to make it more visual (and pretty!). This represents the 5 elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit; And also the 5 directions: North, East, South, West, and Center.
EARTH / North: is on the top position, and is represented by grass.
AIR / East: is on the right, and is clouds.
FIRE / South: is on the bottom, and is represented by flames.
WATER / West: is on the left, and is a swirl of water.
SPIRIT / Center: is in the middle, and is a burst of purple.
If you look closely the circles all overlap to their “heavier” element. Earth as the heaviest is on the bottom, Water overlaps the earth, Fire is on top of the water, Air is over both fire and earth, & Spirit is above them all.
