Correspondences of
the Element of Water
Water magic is helpful for increasing one's skills at divination and for dreamwork generally. Like all the Elements, it is double-edged: it can wash away but also flood and drown, invigorate like a cold shower and cause the passivity of a warm bath. If you regularly use a cauldron in you magic, you are already incorporating Elemental Water in your rituals, since the cauldron is seen as symbolic of this Element. In some practices, a goblet of water is set on the altar or working table as a representation of this Element. Water plants are, as you would expect, watery--they like to grow in or around water, or they are juicy (watery). There aren't many Water scents, but a good one is violet leaf.
