Magic Tools: Elements, Gender & other Aspects.

it's summarized in a table:


ToolElementGenderMind's Aspect
AthaméAir*MaleThoughts
PentacleEarthFemaleThoughts
WandFire*MaleFeelings
ChaliceWaterFemaleFeelings



* depending on a Tradition, Athamé might be Air or Fire; Wand might be Fire or Air.

according to this, there's observation:
- Wind (Air) & Fire are male aspects, these also might represent soldiers with weapons (sword instead of athamé) under the general with it's attributes (scepter instead of wand),
- Water & Earth are female aspects, together these are mud in which Lotus Flower grows, perhaps?

on the other hand, we can argue that it's tool that has gender associated, not element itself.

both Athamé & Wand are straight, male ... both Pentacle & Chalice are circle-shaped, female.


... but, why bother with these considerations?

it has uses in Arts, if You care enough to say something well.
