The 4 pointed star is a symbol of the four elements. The ancients believed that there were only 4 essences that made up the world. Each thing was made of a different combination & a different balance of these 4 primordial expressions of creation. They believed that these qualities could help them understand anything in this complex world. But, there was another meaning to the four elements, kept secret by mystery schools in the traditions of Plato & Pythagoras. The four elements are also the four basic moods of the human mind. The secret teaching was simple: Keep asking yourself over and over - How do I feel now? Like the Earth, like Fire, like Water or like Air. This simple exercise taught the person to see their own anger, sadness, joy and contentment and to learn in time to choose the positive mood. And so the 4 Elements were a way to transform the base metal of thoughts and feelings in the Gold of spirituality, the center of the cross, the gem in the center.
