Everything Under the Moon

Well.... My herbs died! Lol. My roommate put them in the window so they could get some sun, and forgot to take them out before it got too cold. So, we're going to wait until it warms up a little more and try again. I've really been focusing on my finances. I made my New Years resolution to pay off A...

That sounds like something I need to be working on as well. I have a problem keeping myself grounded. I have to really be focused on it, but with so many other things going on, I always find myself off in daydream-land!

So...I've started working on clearing out the garden so we can start growing vegatables this spring. I've also started my indoor herb garden. I almost lost my sage and thyme, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get them healthy again. I don't exactly have a green thumb, but it's still fun ...

We are doing earth from December to March right? If you are following my schedule, then yes. However, firebirdflys has also provided another schedule, which is perfectly fine to use as well. Or you could even come up with one that makes more sense for you. This is YOUR year and a day study. Connect...

ack, maybe I won't be of any help...I was projecting into Air...in my Trad. we are almost done with Earth. sorry You can still post here if you want. Maybe some people would prefer your schedule to mine. If so, you would be more helpful to them than I would. :) I just wanted to open up the idea to ...

I think it's kind of interesting that this post is starting to pick up right around New Years. I know most people are setting their goals for 2014 and it just seems to go hand in hand with what we're talking about here. A lot of the things mentioned here seem to be pretty common New Years resolution...

Oh, and another BIG thing for me while going through this element..... Getting my finances in order! I've made a lot of progress here, but there's still a lot to be done. My goal that I would like to hit before I finish up with earth is to have all of my debt paid off. Other people may set different...

Can I join in? Absolutely! Anything you'd like to discuss? Maybe some of the things you've learned or things you'd like to try out? One of the things I'm doing is incorporating my tarot study with my study of the elements. While I'm working with earth, I'm also going through the suit of pentacles. ...

I'm doing this based on each elements corresponding seasons. So during winter, I will be studying earth. And since the change of the season is marked by the quarter sabbats, I just naturally chose those particular sabbats to start and end my study with each of the elements. I will be studying with e...

Earth is the universal archetype of the divine mother. She represents the inexhaustible spirit of creation and is associated with abundance. Earth has the lowest vibration of the four elements because it is solidly manifest in our world. Therefore magic using this element will take the longest to ma...

I also just remembered... Lithomancy! Again, I haven't personally tried this, but it's pretty interesting.

Here's a wiki link so you can get an idea:

In one of Scott Cunningham's books, he talks about using a bowl of soil to scry with, much like you use a bowl of water. Simply gaze into the soil, without actually looking for images....just relax and let the images come to you. I haven't done much of this type of divination, as I use tarot cards a...

So pretty much the same, just different starting dates.

What sort of things do you do to get in touch with each element? I figure I'm going to be doing a lot of meditating, among other things...but it'd be nice to get some fresh ideas.

Based on CharmingPixieFlora's suggestion of doing more than one year and a day study on different areas on Wicca, I've decided to do a year and a day with the elements, to connect with them on a deeper level. My idea is to work with one element throughout their corresponding season, starting on Yule...
