EARTH WITCH - Connect with the elements
If you know my work, you know I love working with woman and with the earth elements. I also love the feminine divine. This beautiful woman is a talented artist, who was packed and ready to move to Europe the following day.
Nature Connection: Many Pagans feel a strong connection to nature and see the Earth as sacred. They may engage in rituals and practices outdoors, celebrating the changing seasons and natural cycles.
Rituals and Ceremonies: Pagans often perform rituals and ceremonies to honor the Earth and its elements. These can include ceremonies tied to specific times of the year, such as solstices and equinoxes, or rituals focused on specific aspects of nature, like trees, rivers, or animals.
Altars and Sacred Spaces: Pagans may create altars or sacred spaces dedicated to the Earth or specific deities associated with nature. These spaces often include symbols, images, or items representing the elements, seasons, and other natural forces.
Prayer and Invocation: Pagans may engage in prayers, invocations, or meditations to connect with the Earth and express gratitude for its gifts. Some may invoke specific deities associated with the Earth or draw inspiration from mythologies related to nature.
Cycles and Seasons: Many Pagan traditions follow a wheel of the year, which consists of eight festivals corresponding to seasonal changes. These festivals often involve rituals, feasting, and communal celebrations, emphasizing the connection between spirituality and the Earth's cycles.

A poem by EMILE, borrowed from ALL POETRY
Fire ignites in the spirit,
forging the metal of our soul.
And during exaltation,
flames can envelope us whole.
Water quenches all of life,
replenishing the ocean.
And saturates living cells,
like a magical potion.
Air recharges lungs with breath,
oxygenating our blood.
And spreads carbon dioxide,
allowing flora to bud.
Earth's essential for good health,
holding minerals we need.
And those precious elements,
are all absorbed when we feed.
We're fire, water, air and earth,
alchemist once understood.
And strove to share their insights,
through the ages the best they could.
