Gaea Spell

Color of the day: Gray
Incense of the day: Ylang-ylang

Gaea, the Greek name for Mother Earth, is known as the Deep-breasted One.
She is called the oldest of divinities. She is the beginning of all life,
all wisdom, all mystery, and our eternal Mother. While the light dwindles,
and the darkness stretches across the land, we often retreat indoors to the
warmth of home and hearth, and lose touch with our Mother Earth. Renewing
our connection to Gaea, even while we dwell indoors, keeps us green-minded
and ecological, balanced and well grounded. Stand with your feet apart.
Psychically reach down through your socks and the floorboards to pull the
balancing energy of the Earth up into your body, saying:
By the earth that is her body, I ground mine.
Now, send your negative thoughts and fears back down into the Earth, quite
literally grounding yourself. Through the winter use this spell to invoke
Gaea and stay grounded.

Fruitful Earth Spell

Instead of cleaning your plate this Thanksgiving, set aside a portion of
your feast.

Take the food to a natural area or garden, and bury it or set it out as an
offering to the wild animals.

As you do this think about how many creatures do not receive the bounty of
Mother Earth each day.

Speak this as you contemplate:

"Blessed Mother Earth.

I offer you back the fruit of your womb, the bounty which sustains and strengthens
us all. Be healed and whole so that you may continue to feed your children. So mote it
be."

Consider donating money or time to a charity that feeds the hungry year round,
not just on holidays.
