The Elemental Lords & Ladies
The Elemental Lords/Ladies of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are significant figures in Resonance, representing the fundamental forces and energies that compose the natural world.
In this religion, the Elemental Lords/Ladies are seen as accessible presences that practitioners can connect with directly through nature. They are viewed as aspects of a greater whole (perhaps the Earth Mother), or as individual conscious forces.
These relationships are seen as ways to deepen one's connection with nature, understand the interplay of fundamental forces in the world, and achieve personal balance. The Elemental Lords/Ladies serve as bridges between the mundane and the magical aspects of nature, helping practitioners to see the extraordinary in the ordinary world around them.
