Product Details Size: 8.5 by 11 inches Parchment-style printed paper Bears an evocation of the element of Earth By AzureGreen Sold as a single print, unframed About the Element of Earth Earth is the element of the body and the material world: of grounding, stability, fertility, and endurance. In much of Western elemental tradition it is placed in the north, the direction of midnight, and linked to winter, to soil and stone, and to the steady strength of the mountain. It governs the practical and the physical, the home, the harvest, and the patient work that builds lasting things. In ritual magic, to evoke an element is to call its energy and presence into the working space, summoning it before you to witness or work with. This print carries the words of such a calling for Earth; how you use it is up to you and your own tradition. How to Display the Earth Evocation Poster Choose a spot where you will see it: on an altar, on a wall, or kept with your ritual references. If your tradition places Earth in the north, you might display it at that quarter. Frame it in a standard 8.5 by 11 inch frame to protect the paper, or pin or tack it directly if you prefer an unframed look. Keep it out of direct sun and away from damp so the parchment-style paper and print stay crisp. If it suits your practice, read the evocation aloud as you call the quarter or set up your circle. Pairs Well With Candles: light one as you call the quarters. Spiritual Books: further reading on elemental magic and the four elements. Dried Herbs: herbs associated with Earth to use at the northern quarter. Raw Crystals: a grounding stone to set with the print on your altar. Smudge Sticks: cleanse the space before you set it up.
