Each of the elements has several associated spiritual beings. The [[archangel]] of fire is [[Archangel Michael]], the angel is Aral, the ruler is Seraph, the king is Djin, and the fire elementals (following [[Paracelsus]]) are called salamanders. Fire is considered to be active; it is represented by the symbol for [[Leo]] and it is referred to the lower right point of the pentacle in the Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Pentacle.
