The five magical elements of earth (gnomes), air (sylphs), fire (salamanders), water (undines), and spirit (other faeries) along with the watchtower guardians of the four quarters are often invoked before casting magical circles and spells. A circle is a protective space that surrounds magical rituals and ceremonies. Sabbat celebrations (where the holiday myths are ritualized through dancing, singing, drama, revelry, and feasting) are held within the sacred circle. Magic is enchantment, spellcasting, bewitchment, and using the will to alter reality. Everything is interconnected and magic practitioners use consecrated magical tools to focus and send forth energies from within themselves, from the deities, or from natural power places to influence and to shape desired outcomes and to pattern events.

The earth spirits are called Gnomes. Since they usually live in the soil, in rocks, beneath the ground, and under the tree roots, they are the elementals who are most likely to imitate the customs and behaviors of the people of prior civilizations, concentrating on aspects of daily life that intrigued them and that they thought were worth emulating. The Gnomes constantly journey back and forth maintaining the textures and hues of the destiny tapestries that anchor the patterns of human traditions in the material plane. The fire spirits are called Salamanders. They are often regarded as the most powerful of the elementals because fires would not exist without them.
