The concept states that there are no deities but instead asks for reverence to be displayed to the Elements that make up the universe itself. These elements are: Fire, Earth, Water, Air and the Archelement which oversees the others. (TOS - Rihannsu novel: My Enemy, My Ally) Among the traits of the Elements was the fact that they were dualistic in nature. For example, Ael t'Rllaillieu noted that Fire warms, but it also burns.
