Spirit, the Fifth and Sentient Element

Akash ( ਅੰਬਰੁ ) is the Vedic word for Ether/Aether, which represents the universal inner space, the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.

Spirit is the supreme or prime (ਪੰਚ ) element, with the other four classical elements being Earth, Air, Fire and Water. 

Together they form each point of the pentacle. Spirit represents the prime element present in all things, providing space, connection and balance for all elements to exist.
