Summer's element of Fire represents the action of Grandfather Sun as he nurtures our fruits to harvest. Fire is the energy of doing, working towards that final goal. It is the faith that with the correct nurturing, the green fruit will ripen to its perfect color. As the Wheel turns in to Fall, we honor Water. Without this element's energy, there would be no harvest.
Water is life.
Pregnant women, full of life, often dream repeatedly of this powerful element. Fall is the energy of the harvest. The collection of life sustaining foods, the fruits of our labor that will carry us through the approaching colder, darker days. Just because your toil does not take place in the dirt, doesn't mean your harvest isn't vital to sustaining life. Use the energy of Water for visions, dreams or quests.
