In other traditions, the triangle is used to mark the association of degrees or initiation rank - typically first degree, but not necessarily. In some traditions of Wicca, Air is represented not by the triangle, but by either a circle with a point in the center or by a feather or leaf-like image. Interestingly, in some cultures, a triangle sitting on its base like this is considered masculine and is connected to the element of Fire rather than Air.
Air is associated with the colors yellow and white. Air is the element of the East, connected to the soul and the breath of life. Air is associated with communication, wisdom or the power of the mind.Īir is one of the four classical elements and is often invoked in Wiccan ritual.
