Welcome to the element EARTH

Earth Pt. 1

In history and some present day times, the Greeks considered earth to be a symbol of the solid state or “physical”.  We as pagans take the elements pretty serious so earth to us is the handful of soil from our garden, it is the entire planet.  It doesn’t always represent the soil but a solid, dependable part of our lives. Our foundation, the beginning.

Earth is the realm of abundance, prosperity, and wealth. It is the most physical part of our elements. Without earth itself we would could not exist.  Earth is the calm, the understanding, it holds wisdom, whenever you need to find an answer earth will be able to help.

!!!HOMEWORK TIME!!!   I know, I know but I assure you its well worth it.

  1. Standing at your alter what can you use to represent earth?
  2. Which direction belongs to the element of earth and why do you feel this way? (subjective)
  3. What are the colors of earth?
  4. Magically speaking, why would you invoke the earth element?
  5. Write a short spell using EARTH power. (Or what you think a spell would be. Include details such as color of candles, if any, all things used, like seeds or something written on paper)
  6. Write a quarter call for earth. (Invite the power of this element to be with you /guard/help you)
  7. What would an earth element look like? Where would it live?
  8. Make a representation of an earth element, tell me what you used, how you put it together?  Now bless this being at night, ask it to be your guide into the realm of earth, and bury it in your yard or a sacred space in the direction you feel right.

***Midnight is between sunset and sunrise*** <Your clock isn’t always on point, most newspapers show the time of midnight.

9. Write down your correspondences for the earth:    *Direction, color, etc*

10. In preparation for the next weeks lesson, write down some questions you’d like to ask an earth elemental.

I know homework this week is long, but I assure you it’s worth it in the long run. Don’t forget share! Send to your friends, if you haven’t yet like, subscribe! Keep a look out for PART 2 OF EARTH!

Pagan 101- Welcome to the Elements

Elements

What are the elements? Why are they so important?

The elements are our legos for our foundation in the psychical realm. Each element has its own purpose, direction, and other dealings. Each element can not work without the other. Fire needs fuel (earth) and oxygen(air) to burn. There is air within water, otherwise the seaweed and fish would die, the earth is filled with air and water.  

The elements being  working so close to one another shows that interconnections of all things for above or below.

There is a fifth element, most forget. -Spirit- This element connects the conscious, or soul.  As an example, the healing properties of amethyst stone is spirit of the earth. (its made from the earth but connects to our soul )

Finding your connection and just knowing your elements will be an important step in knowing your environment and in your magical work. Google has a billion associations to each element, but a way to dig into them is creating your own. What do they mean to you? How do they work around you?                                                                                                                                                        These elements are in you!

The earth is my foundation

The air is my body

Fire is my soul

Water is my energy

Since the elements are so precious to us we will be taking each element starting with earth. Each element we go over with be two parts.
