Sylph, Arcane Master of the Windswept Watchtower to the East.
-Undine, Arcane Matron of the Seaside Watchtower to the South.
-Gnome, Arcane Mistress of the Earthbound Watchtower to the West.
-Salamander, Arcane Patron of the Burning Watchtower to the North.
actually, in my practice, this is totally different.
i started out using the watchtowers but as i began to work with elemental magic, and found it was a more natural connection for me, personally, i made the switch. Elementals are very raw entities, purely of their element but only dangerous so far as you dare to be disrespectful, as with any entity/deity/thoughtform/what-have-you. in my own experience, simply because of the way i'm made, i have the most problems with connecting to the Southern aspect, the Salamander. as i stated before, what i've learned is totally different that what Dark Necromancer posted. as i see it, it lines up like this:
-Sylph, Arcane Master of the Windswept Watchtower to the EAST.
-Undine, Arcane Matron of the Seaside Watchtower to the WEST.
-Gnome, Arcane Mistress of the Earthbound Watchtower to the NORTH.
-Salamander, Arcane Patron of the Burning Watchtower to the SOUTH.
but like with witchcraft in general, i suppose it *might* change depending on practice and geographical location. some start casting a circle using the north, some start with the east, both work, and really, that's what matters.
