you sit on a current-smoothed stone in the midst of a rushing brook. water tinkles across the pebbles, gurgles among the rocks, whispers against the mossy bark of the fallen logs, and rushes over the rapids further downstream. far away you can hear the deep resonant rumble of a mighty waterfall. you close your eyes and let the music of the water sing in your bloodstream.

This is a jar to use in elemental altars, to place on the section devoted to the Earth and her beauty! You can place this jar near to you when you need energies from the Earth, such as during related spellwork. 

Needed:

One small or medium sized bottle, jar, or pill bottle

An incense you personally associate with the Earth

Contents: 

Clay

Granite

Petrified wood

Sand 

Dried rosemary

Rep pepper flakes

Whole peppercorns

2 bay leaves

Dandelion seeds

2 dried rosebuds

Dried basil

To do:

Bring a small incense burner, your jar, and your ingredients to a fire safe outdoor area that is usually full of life and nature.

Light up an incense that you personally associate with Earth. Meditate through the duration of the burning. As you do, visualize the Earth’s green and golden energies filling your jar to the brim, spilling over with her bountiful and loving energy. 

As the last of the incense burns away, carefully place your ingredients into your jar. As you do, chant 3 times:  On this Earth where I stand,  Digging my roots deep into the sand,  Fill this jar with Your Energy deep and bright, And fill me with Your strength and might.

Put the ashes from the burnt incense into the jar, sprinkling it over the rest of the ingredients. 

Put the lid on your jar, and seal the spell with a kiss to the lid. 

Close off by thanking the Earth for helping you and lending you her energy.

you are sitting on your porch in the depths of autumn. the last birds cling to the bare swaying branches of the trees, and the leaves dance rustling across the dying grass. you sit with your chin in your hands, listening to the blustery weather make your air chimes sing. a single incense stick on the table beside you sends a thread of smoke whipping away in the wind.

you sit criss-cross in the center of a circle of fires. even with your eyes closed, you can see the flames dancing, fluttering, licking at the air. the sizzling of the coals, the crackling of the embers, and the hiss of the sparks fills you with warmth. the power of creation and destruction is at your command. use it wisely.
