The Directions and the Four Winds

You will notice that the directions have not been included in the above table. This is because the directions are associated differently by different people. A common system is:
Northern Hemisphere
Earth
Water Air    
Fire
   
Southern Hemisphere
Fire
Water Air    
Earth
Another common method is to associate the directions with the elements based on the prevailing winds:
The wind that is hot and moist comes from the direction of Air.
The wind that is hot and dry comes from the direction of Fire
The wind that is cold and dry comes from the direction of Earth
The wind that is cold and wet comes from the direction of Water

The Celtic names of the four winds are:
Tuath,
cold & dry
Iar,
cold & wet
Airt,
hot & moist
Deas,
hot & dry
The classical names of the four winds are:
Boreas (or Ophion or Aquilo)
Zephyrus Eurus    
Notus (or Auster)
The Principal Spirits of the four parts of the world are:
Poymon
Moymon Bael    
Egin



The Times and Seasons

By some traditions, the passage of time, life cycles, seasons, etc, runs: Air (dawn, birth, spring), Fire (midday, youth, summer), Water (evening, decline, autumn), Earth (midnight, death, winter)



The Fifth Element

The fifth element is really the first element, for it is spirit, akasha, kether, nyu, the most basic substance of the cosmos from which all else is formed. It is present in all things and all places; it is the universal spirit of which all our spirits form parts; it is the universal soul which is Godhead.
Consider this mystery: the planes of existence as we understand them start with Akasha, pass through the elements, the physical plane, the ethereal and the astral planes, up to the spiritual planes. It is said that the higher planes are closer to the source, to Godhead. And yet Godhead in its entirety is contained within akasha. I am reminded of the descent of emanations from Kether on the tree of life. The last emination, Malkuth, echoes the source, Kether.
All this aside, Spirit is rarely used in magical workings, for magic generally operates on certain distinct forces in nature, while in universal spirit there are no distinctions.
