Gaia embodies the Earth, which is composed of four elements: water, earth, fire and air. But there is another element, without which it is impossible to imagine the breath of the Earth – it is a forest. Each of the five elements is designed to sustain life on the planet. Together they are a unity and form the basis of Gaia – loving and strong, gentle and caring goddess of the Earth.
