Earth

Earth is the element of the body, matter, and stability: the ground that holds, grows, and endures. It is cold and dry, heavy, and patient. In the zodiac it rules Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn; in the Tarot it is the suit of Pentacles.

Working with it

Call Earth in the North with the pentacle or a bowl of salt or soil. Burying a charm, planting seeds with an intention, salt circles, and working with stones are its core practices. Walk barefoot on soil to ground after ritual.
