The five khandros

"The five internal energy fields of the elements are known as the five khandros; the sky-goers. The magical appearance of the khandros reflect the spatial qualities of the elements. The personalities of the the khandros, are the inner energy of everything it is possible to feel. They are the magical prism of endless inter-connectedness. This is what we are, or what we could become. Our inner elements are the khyil-khor of the khandros- the iridescent matrix of being. There is no more profound khyil-khor than who or what we actually are in our world."
