The west corresponds to the element of water in most mystical and earth-based spiritual practices.

In this short share, I’m offering you a simple ritual to honor water with an offering to the water spirits and a message from water that I received. This ritual is one way to mark the shift in seasons, welcome the element of water into your... Continue Reading
