Ear th Ceremonial Magic
The Earth is very much alive, just as you are or I am. It has a soul with an inner fire that burns so brightly within the core of its being. It has a collective energy which we all feel, as well as its personal power. We use this energy in our daily healing practices. We ask her to join us when we are practicing magic to bring forth the element of Earth. We call upon the Earth to ground us and sustain a balanced root chakra. When we stand on her grass barefoot and close our eyes, we can drop into her medicine fully. Our feet can grow roots and extend them into her core where we become fully planted. It spreads through her existence like a streaming Hara Line into the inner fire of the core and then travels back to us. This allows us to feel her experience and to create a firm Earth—aligned foundation for ourselves. We are one with the Earth and our souls have a strong desire to be out in nature. We need the balancing and peace of Earth to become grounded in our everyday lives. This is magic and we are offered it daily to use whenever we wish without question. The Earth Mother graciously shares her energy with us to assist our healing and our journey. She is selfless and she is love. It is a true extension of who we truly are beneath our costumes and flesh.

With the unlimited amount of resources we are given from the Earth, it is important to show our gratitude. Anytime that I am working with Earth energy (which is all of the time) I offer her my sincere thanks. You can leave an offering if you wish such as a piece of fruit or dish of milk or water. You should do what you feel is best. This is your time with the Earth. Gratitude does not have to be monetary. It does not have to be a certain way. Gratitude can be expressed and felt in any nature. Intimate experiences with the Earth are sacred and are your personal ritual. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22, 2019. It is a magical time to give thanks and pay special attention to our planet. Earth provides for us around the clock and this is a magical time to simply show her that we sincerely appreciate everything that she does for us.
