The soil beneath your feet, the grand old oak tree in your back yard, the community garden full of vibrant coloured blooms; these are all sources of earth magick.
Earth is our most grounded and basic element. If you have been thinking about adding this life giving magick into your own practice keep on reading!
The Earth provides us with stability, comfort, and strength. It is our mother and that from which all life stems. Without the Earth, we would cease to exist. And Earth Magick surrounds us each and every day.
This post will be the first in a four part series covering the elements; earth, air, fire, water. So keep reading and stay tuned for the second part in the series, Air, to be posted in a few days.
Making Earth Magick Part of Your Everyday Practice
Making an effort to make space to let in some earth energy into your days will enrich your connection to nature, bringing balance, and powerful energy to your practice.
Earth energy exists within the universe but also within ourselves. This energy is associated with darkness, stillness, and the cycle of life. Tapping into this energy can open up new layers of possibility within our practice and within ourselves as a whole.
Go for a walk around the block but be present, buy a new plant friend for your home and nurture it well, collect rocks from the forest or sand from the beach and utilize them in your practice. There are tons of ways to include the earth element into your everyday magickal routine.
I’ve included some ideas below so lets get started!
