Although there are many terms they may be called, when you hear the names Quarters, Elementals, or Watchtowers, these refer to the elements of nature – Earth, Air, Fire and Water - that are forces honored and incorporated in the rituals practiced by many pagans, Wiccans and witches. The words and even some of the associations may be seen differently by each individual, as pagan paths are independent, so this is a somewhat generic description of the elements.  Also, each element is associated with guardians, which watch over the element and make sure it is not misused.
