If we go deeper into the elemental wheel theory where astral and umbral are actually polarities that adds a third dimension to the base 6 points wheel (fire, thunder, ice, earth, water, wind), does that follow the same pattern than the naming convention for months (astral and umbral moons, each of those under an element related to their proper divinity patron)? Which means you can get astral fire, umbral fire, etc, depending on their location related to the polarity of the element in question? Translated into crystals, would their colour be slightly different depending on their astral polarity?Â
Everything that I see seems to go into that direction, meaning that the elemental wheel is 6 elements and not 8, most of the calendar is also made the same way, divinities too... (with the exception of the superior ones like Hydaelyn and Zodiark). Or the BLM astral fire / umbral ice which hints strongly at that too in my mind...
The only exception I can think of is how moons themselves are structured, which is around the 8 aspects organized into 32 suns.
