The [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], founded in 1888, incorporates air and the other Greek classical elements into its teachings. The elemental weapon of air is the dagger which must be painted yellow with magical names and sigils written upon it in violet. Each of the elements has several associated spiritual beings. The [[archangel]] of air is [[Archangel Raphael]], the angel is Chassan, the ruler is [[Ariel]], the king is Paralda, and the air elementals (following [[Paracelsus]]) are called sylphs. Air is considerable and it is referred to the upper left point of the pentagram in the Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram. | The [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], founded in 1888, incorporates air and the other Greek classical elements into its teachings.

In the Golden Dawn and many other [[ritual magic|magical]] systems, each element is associated with one of the cardinal points and is placed under the care of guardian Watchtowers. The Watchtowers derive from the [[Enochian]] system of magic founded by [[John Dee]]. In the Golden Dawn, they are represented by the Enochian elemental tablets. Air is associated with the east, which is guarded by the First Watchtower. | In the Golden Dawn and many other [[ritual magic|magical]] systems, each element is associated with one of the cardinal points and is placed under the care of guardian Watchtowers.
