#mind element

The Spark Pathway is where most Fate Weavers begin their journey, regardless of the length of time spent on its Path. It is the very beginning of existence, the first thoughtform, the initial Spark. Were the Void a Garden, the Sparks would be the soil that houses the very first Seeds.

As a person, the Spark is the one to stoke the fires within the souls of others, stirring them to meet and unite toward a common goal.

The corresponding element is the Mind or Dark, which is a combination of 3 of the natural elements--Earth, Air, and Water. The term “Dark” can also be used to refer to the Mind element because, when you close your eyes, what do you see? Darkness. The Dark. It is also within this space where many of the mental processes and thinking and such take place, including visualization and meditation. The Void space and the Womb space are also linked with the Mind element, as we start in the darkness first...within the Void...within the Womb.

**Something I'd like to note is that even though it is most connected to the Mind element, one can traverse all the elements through a single Pathway, and vice versa.**

Here, we journey within our inner landscapes and labyrinths, we enter our Hermit mode to seek and find our own truths, our own Sparks. Periods of detachment can be attributed here, as you are spending more time up in there and being in that space than you are externally, and… generally the only one in your mind all the time at any given time is you. Both logical and intuitive, primordial, organized chaos, secure and fluid, it helps to understand your own mind and how you process things and to become one with them(your mind). Shadow work is also at home here, and clarity--we do emerge from time to time.

Of our elemental star (6 points), the Mind governs the Northwest point. The colors best suited or helpful for deeply connecting with this Pathway and its element are purple hues and black. 

In our next few articles, we will break down further correspondences to this Pathway.
