The only yellow votive candle in the house is on my altar for a quarter candle, so I have a baby blue votive on the east side of my room. This one, representing element Air, is from a baby shower years ago, so it's done up all pretty:
On the south side of my room, I have a jewelry chest, and on it sits this little pink votive, for Fire:
I've got two bookshelves on the west side of my room, so my blue Water votive sits in front of the books:
Right in front of me, I have a green votive for Earth. Since Earth is the one that's most off-balance for me, I have an owl ring and shell next to it for added support. Of course, one might argue that both tend to belong to different elements, and generally I would agree. However, the ring is a gray metal, and seems to associate itself with Earth, at least to me. Further, the shell is pure white, and feels like bone. The three just seem to go together.
And finally, I have a dream catcher and set of wind chimes hanging from my fan in the center of the room for Spirit. I apologize for the bad picture; I couldn't find an angle and lighting combination that looks good.
Do you do anything within your room, home, garden, or even altar to balance the elements? Please share; I'm always looking for ideas!
