Elemental, dear Watson.

When my friends and I performed our two rituals in Winona, I remember that
we would call corner by element - and they say that they read me as water.
My question is: do Wiccans believe in paraelementals? What I mean by
paraelements is elements composed of 2 of the basic four. The reason I am
asking is because I feel more like ice than water - patient for a while, but
ready to let my chagrin be known when something has been bugging me for a
while. Further, if you do believe in paraelements and/or quazielements (later
on that one), are your paraelements: Air + Water = Ice (with the reference
to air being that it is cold), Fire + Earth = Magma, Air + Fire = Smoke, and
Earth + Water = Ooze (Mud), or are they different. Certainly, I would say
that the combinations in here are probably about a fifty percent mix of each
element.

Yes, well, I am a PlaneScape GM, so I learn these things that way. I need
to get the Inner Planes book when it comes out and A Guide to the Etheral
Plane. I also need an answer to this question that falls outside of the
gaming realm. Thank you for your input though jazz. Thanks in advance to
anyone who give me the anwer(s) I requested.

That was your answer, you just didn't tilt it 90 degrees and look at
it sideways out of the corner of your eye.
The concept of "para-elementals" and "quasi-elementals" is entirely
D&D. Specifically, it was invented around 1986. No religion shares that
concept (well, maybe Discordianism, hail Eris!), since no religion has
been founded in the last 12 years. To the best of my knowledge.

Yes, but then Elemntals themselves are enitrely creatures of gaming. I was
talking about Elements.
I also possess one shred of information that could prove you wrong as well,
for I have a Wiccan friend who believes in combined element forms, though he
sees mist as the air + water combo. However, I can certainly accept
quasielements to be entirely gaming since they are made of one of the basic
four elements + either positive or negative energy.

I have a Wiccan associate who believes he creates a light sabre with
the force of his will, too. I've a theory - given X, there is a pagan who
believes it.
