It is the outcome of all efforts. Earth gets things done. Earth teaches us how to care for ourselves. It is the element of self-recognition that encourages us to achieve, but requires us to behave to the best of our abilities in order to achieve.
Earth is the clockworks of all forms of spirituality.
It is the element by which we regain our connection to natural spiritual wisdom. Earth teaches us the ancient rites of power, the secret ceremonies that connect us to the real inner workings of what we call magick. Because the Sun never reaches North in the sky, North is the direction of mystery, of the unseen. The North Star is the Axis around which revolve the stars of the night sky. North brings us the power to be silent, to listen as well as to speak, to keep secrets, and to know what not to say.
