Earth Work

I fall heavy down to this earth,

and now prepare for my re-birth.

With Mother Nature feeding me,

I rediscover the missing key.

The mystical journey is long and true,

I’ll be courageous and wander through.

Wanderer’s Wisdom

The earth element brings comfort and support. Mother earth has supported the world’s growth for our entire existence and will continue to hold you throughout your entire existence. Let your roots dive deep within her and ground your vision, yourself, and your life. There can be no way up without a way down. Your centre and focus need to be strong and fierce. Return again to mother nature for this reminder. This card symbolizes coming inward and cautions you to stop branching out. Every dream needs a stable base. While you have been expanding and creating connections, your foundation has been giving way under the pressure and heaviness of your branches. IT is time to build a stronger foundation and framework. Come back to alignment, back to the original dream. Find your roots and drive them further, deeper into her centre. Let yourself refocus, be held, and supported before you begin to expand once more.

Take Action

Establish a clear path of progression. Make a plan. Come back to what you truly want. Others are pulling you off your course. Create goals. Visit your family or hometown. Meditate to connect you back to the roots of all beings, and draw strength from them.
