In Druidry the four elements are sacred. Druids work with the elements each and every day. In each one of us possesses traits of each element; some more dominant than others. As for myself Fire, Air, and Water are equally noticeable. Earth is the element that I need to incorporate more into my life. For me it’s just a bit difficult to connect to this element. Every day I work hard to bring Earth into my being. I am starting to do more crystal work to connect with the powers of Earth. I am also starting to walk barefoot amongst my yard to feel the Earth’s energy. I am trying to allow Earth to ground me and to absorb any negative energy I may have on any given day. I am sure eventually that I will connect deeper with this element to enrich my life even more.
I wrote a simple poem this morning about the elements. I wanted to give one insight into what each element can do for us on a daily basis. Again, this is just one aspect of what each element can bring.
Elemental Bliss
I am the wind
That liberates
I am the water
That heals
I am the land
That nurtures
I am the flame
That inspires
I have been looking at the elements more closely. I have still to incorporate them into my own personal philosophy.
I definitely think it takes a constant awareness of the elements around you. As with anything, it becomes easier with time and practice.
