Utah - Four Elements - Magic

Long ago, there were 4 elements. These were Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. It seems that Utah has accidentally fallen into line with these 4 elements. Most of its population lives in the Salt Lake Valley. Along the East side of this valley lies the Wasatch Mountain range. In the north, a thriving business district, world wide headquarters for a wealthy religion, even a city slash crossroads to the west. In the west lies the Great Salt Lake. Its waters are purified by salt. In the south, the famous red rock canyons and warmer climate. Anyone familiar with this description may immediately find a relationship between the 4 elements and this geographical location.
Earth - North - Pentacle - Diamond
The earth element often associated with North, immediately resembles the tall buildings, granite temples, money, monetary gain, and material wealth of this city. A pentacle is often its symbol although if one is a gambler they would easier recognize a diamond.
Fire - South - Wand - Club
The fire element is often associated with the South, immediately resembling the red rock canyons, warmer climate, energy, enterprise, animation, and growth of southern Utah. A wand or wooden stick or Club represents this element.
Water - West - Cup - Heart
The water element is often associated with the West, immediately resembling the Great Salt Lake, beauty, love, fertility, reflection, and happiness. Emotions fill the cup and are associated with our hearts. This lake lies in the west, the cup is full, and a Heart often represents this element.
Air - East - Sword - Spade
The air element is often associated with the East, immediately resembling the Wasatch mountains where in winter ambitious skiers and snowboarders aggressively and ambitiously test the forces of nature, sometimes ending in strife or misfortune. A more appropriate description of this element cannot exist. The mountains are in the east, the sword is drawn, the spade is there.
