The Elements

The High Woldians saw the Wold in terms of four base elements:

Air Water Earth Fire

These can be diminished to signify:

Gaseous Liquid Solid

These base symbols combine with other core symbols to create a bewildering array of additional words. We will touch on only a few examples here.

We can add the Force symbol to create:

Heavens Nature Gravity

The base elements can be combined with these new words, for example:

Heavens
and Fire

 Heavens
and Water
Lightning Rain

An important series of words is begun by adding the Solid symbol to Heavens:

Heavens
and Solid

 Cloud
and Path
(literally, the
Clouded Path)		 Mystery
and Force
(literally, the
Power of
Mystery)		 Magic
and Nature		 Magic
and Wold
Cloud Mystery Magic (arcane) Magic (natural) Magic (Divine)

 

Path can be combined with other symbols to give us:

Path
and Air

Force
and Wind		 Path
and Water
Wind Storm River

We can add Elements to Body symbols:

Air and Head

 Water
and Life		 Blood and Wold
Spirit or Soul Blood Woldsblood

By adding number symbols to the Earth symbol we get new meanings.

Earth and Two

 Earth and Three
Area Volume

In this context the numbers indicate dimensions, ie Earth in two dimensions or in three. The word of Area is commonly used to describe Land, for example

Sleep and
Area

Lands of Rest
