Essence is a quality of a card, just like color. Think of them as orthogonal to colors. They are indicated on the type line as symbols before the supertypes.
Fractal
Creature - Human Warrior
Mystic
Instant
Psychic
Enchantment
Entropy
Legendary Creature - Dragon
Force
Land
First set only has Essence cards from its main colors. e.g. Fractal cards will only be found in GWU. Second set starts to mix and corrupt the Essences, but only dabbling. e.g. Fractal cards will be found in B and R, but majority of Fractal cards are still GWU. Third set will see cards with more than one Essences. e.g. a card that is both Fractal and Force.

This kind of mechanic has the tremendous potential for being misplayed: you can search with a fetchland to play it that way, but then you can't actually use the land you're searching for to pay for it.
Wow, that's pretty fascinating. And scary. An unpopped Misty Rainforest has never looked so intimidating. Nickname: "Sakura-Tribe Elder Bites Back" :)
