#five spirits

[gaeulsky-fox]

The four spirits (air, fire, water, earth) + the fifth spirit: ice

It’s interesting that the spirits are a hybrid of Greco-Roman and Norse mythology.

The Nokk and earth giants are clearly Norse. But the fire salamander is in Greco-Roman mythology. (The wind is pretty universal, so doesn’t really have an origin) The four elements are also Greek.

[saralamode]

Sunlight informs the vibrancy and movement of every aspect of life, yet the sun itself does nothing but hold steady while the light of its fire showers the solar system with energy and the pull of its gravitational weight locks each planet in perfect orbit. Similarly, the North Star shines motionless at the hub or pivot point of the night sky as the stars spin in the great echoing silence of eternity. "Such a form of government, writes Lao Tzu, "is what people hardly even realize is there."
