Probably one of my more spiritual pics, based on actual cultures that use the Tree of life. From what I have heard, like the legendary "Rune symbols", each cultule has its own Kabbalah-like settings, when it comes to the elements of the world.

Here are the 10 elements of our world and others that may have life. (NOTE: the names are of Korean Mysticism/Animism origin)

1. Nature/Earth (Songyok): Is the green orb at the lower right. The one responsible for forests, trees, plants, rocks and soil.

2. Water (Mul): Is the royal blue orb in the middle right. There is solid ice, snow and liquid.

3. Fire (Bul): Is the bright red orb in the center left. Fire is flame, lava and is harnessed for cooking, bringing light and ceremonies. Very common to see fire and holy elements work together to banish darkness.

4. Air/Wind (Gonggi): Is the pink orb at the lower left. Needs no real explaination. We all know what wind could do.

5. Yin/Darkness (Aphuk): Is the blue-black orb at the upper left corner. This element is also linked with the moon.

6. Yang/Holy (Shinsong): Is the yellow orb at the upper right corner. This is the most cherished and worshipped of elements, linked with the Sun.

7. Void/Space (Bin): At the very top, the blue-grey orb. This element gives birth to the stars, meteors, comets, and the reset of the galaxy

8. Gravity (Jung-Ryok): The brown orb at the very bottom. All planets have a form of gravity, some stronger than others, making it rather chaotic and unpredictable. But on planets with life, gravity has to be balanced in order to have life.

9. Poison (Duk): The red-violet orb, second to the bottom. The dangerous of all the ten elements. The element should be handled with caution.

And finally.....

10. Akasha/Spirit (Jongshin): The gold orb in the center. Some may consiter this to be the fifth element (for those whom believe in only four to five elementals), but in reality, it is the tenth element. It balances the other nine elements together, making this living worlds.
