Confused about elements?

[monstenamongmen]

So I've been reading JoS with references to the elements as dictated by Aristotle. Not saying the uses or anything came from him, only the theory that all matter is composed of various ratios of the elements Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. What I'm confused about is how that connects to Satanism. I know that each of these four things are important to life, especially early human so they show importance in a spiritual and symbolic sense, so is that it? Or is there a further physical importance to these. I just wanted to know because the site refers to them as the elements when basic chemistry tells you Aristotle was a dumbass. Please tell me noone believes these are the elements that compose our world, because if anything they are the components that harbor life, not a single one of Aristotles elements were elements and fire isn't even a substance. Thank you to anyone who can help logically touch on this subject.

They are symbolic, not just literal fire or water. Fire is everything that creates expansion. Water is the opposite. Air is balancing. Earth holds all three elements. Of course these elements of expansion, disollution, balance e.t.c. compose the world, but not litereal earth, water e.t.c. For example, human growth has to do with the element of fire (growth and expansion), death with the element of water e.t.c.

The soul is also composed of elements and some people have elemental imbalance.

And I don't know where you got the impression that the elements came from Aristotle. Egyptian, Sanskrit and other texts predating Aristotle also mention them not as physical things, but states and occult concepts. Rigveda, the oldest indo-european text mentions the four elements, Tejas (fire), Ap (water), Vayu (air) and Prithvi (earth) as well as the fifth element Akasha(ether) . Its obvious that Aritotle got them from somewhere else.

The pentagram is an ancient symbol that also symbolises the 4 elements and Akasha.
