The air, in alchemy, is an active, light, masculine element, composed of heat and humidity. It corresponds to the breath, to the wind, to the spirit. It is the cosmic breath that is identified with the flow of the verb; It is the invisible ether that permeates the entire universe and that we absorb when breathing.

All the faculties of the mind and intellect, both intuitive and rational, correspond to the air, since it belongs to it everyone of archetypal ideas (located behind the veil of the physical world ideas, such as air, are not seen and cannot be captured, but exist and govern all existence).

4 Air associated divinities

Eolo and his brothers

Eolo is God and Lord of the winds. To descendant of Poseidón Nieto of his homonym Eolo (from the Greek «Aiolos», which means fast), he was officially son of Metaponto (king of Icaria) and Teano.

His Beeto twin settled on the earth currently known as Beocia, who became his kingdom, while Eolo wandered by Magna Greece, finally settling in Lípari, an island from a small archipelago to the northeast of Sicily, along with their twelve children, six men and six women, who married each other.

There he became the winding of the winds and advisor of the gods, giving his name to the entire archipelago, the Eolias Islands. When Zeus decided to lock the winds at amphorae, since he considered them dangerous if he left them free, his wife Hera suggested that he hid them in a cave of the Tyrrhenian Sea and trust his custody to Eolo.

The winds, after causing great damage (including the detachment of Sicily from the continent) and guilty of the various storms and storms in the sea, had to be constantly maintained under control by the gods. Thus, Eolo directed them, freed them or locked them in Cuevas and inside Lipari’s skin, one of the Eolias Islands, where he had erected his splendid palace.

When Ulysses, veteran of the Trojan War, landed in the Eolias Islands, Eolo welcomed him and, moved by the history of the Greek hero, he gave him the leather skins inside whose winds were locked contrary to navigation.

During the trip, while Ulysses slept, the navigation companions, believing that the odre that Eolo had given him was full of treasures, opened it. This released the winds that unleashed a terrible storm over the seas. Eolo only saved Ulysses’s ship.

Among the winds governed by Eolo were four brothers (associated with the four main winds):

• Boreas, the most violent, north wind that, for the love of the Dardanus mares, became a horse and produced twelve foals as fast as the wind. Considered as Zeus’s very breath, it is an impetuous wind that blows from the north with great force, particularly venerated by the Athenians, convinced that he had taken care of, with a tremendous hurricane, to overcome the fleet of Jerges, the Persian king who had threatened Greece with a colossal expedition.
• Céfiro, west wind, sweet and beneficial that the spring announces, created Xanthus and Balio, the two Achilles horses, called by the Romans Favonio, and is particularly appreciated because he announces spring and the beautiful season, favoring the germination of the seeds and the recovery of the nature of the winter dream.
• Euro, east wind, sometimes stormy and sometimes dry that brought good weather, and that the Romans called vulturn.
• Austro, southern wind, very hot and humid, bearer of rain, always represented wet.

ILMATAR

Goddess of wind, air and sky, as well as storms, hunting and cold. His mortal incarnation is one of the main protagonists of the epic poem known as Khal-Valàn: in the work, Ilmatar is presented as a fierce and indomitable warrior, Harkel’s daughter and sent by the goddess of creation to defend the three blood lines in their fight against their enemies: the violent and impulsive wild and the cunning and ruthless sorcerers of Ilsanora.

The cult is strongly located in the northern regions of the Sarakon continent corresponding to the current Ducados of Feith and Gulas del Gran Ducado of Grayhaven and the Lushbow elphin republic.

In many cases, it can be considered a direct extension of the cult of Harkel and, therefore, attributable to the dictates of the Church of Light: however, there are several communities, both between elves and between humans, in which the veneration by the goddess of the wind (and/or Harkel) is accompanied by a total disinterest in other deities.

Njörðr

Njörðr is a god of Nordic mythology. Belonging to the Vanir lineage, he was received hostage in the Æsir to sign the peace between both factions after the conclusion of the conflict that divided them. It is said that Njörðr will return to Los Vanir after the Ragnarök.

Amon

Amun was a dark deity of the Tebana region of the old kingdom. His name derives from the IMN root, which has the meaning of «hiding, hiding.» Amun was, therefore, the «hidden God.»

The ram was the animal that, together with the OCA, associated the priests of the time. Already during the XI dynasty, its presence in Thebes, which will become the main center of its cult.

It seems that he was also worshiped in Koptos, the old Kebti, where the local deity, Min, has many points in common with Amun. Originally, Amun was one of the eight primary deities revered in Hermópolis Magna, Greco -Roman version of the old UNT, where he symbolized the air and invisible space.
