1. Ancestral Lands

Connection with the past, honoring where you’ve been, healing old wounds.

Within your roots you will find the truest form of magick, which belongs to the essence of who you are and who you will become.

Ancestral lands remind you that no beginning is ever truly possible without standing on the bones of your past. You are who you are today because of where you’ve been, but also because of all of the people who have come before you and paved the way for this moment. Every new idea would not be possible without an old one. The freedoms and privileges you experience now are a direct result of those who were willing to fight for them, and any future success you achieve is only possible because of the failures, setbacks, disappointments and hardships you’ve had to overcome.

It is in your past that you will find the answers needed to face your current circumstances. Is there a lesson or idea from a previous situation you can apply to the present? Perhaps it’s time to revisit old notes and journals to spark fresh ideas out of what was. In a reading about relationships, this card can mean reconnecting with an old flame or friend for the purpose of closure and healing. This is your chance to take what you need and leave the rest behind.

Ultimately, this is a card about acknowledging your past but only enough to inform the choices you make from here. It is your invitation to honor and learn from the past but not to dwell on it.

This powerful ceremony will help you connect with the earth. Choose a location that feels meaningful to you, then take a few moments to center yourself and set your intention for the ceremony.

Begin to connect with the natural elements around you: notice the feel of the ground beneath your feet, the sound of the wind or water, and the scent of the plants or flowers. Fully immerse yourself in the sensory experience of being in nature. Offer a prayer or invocation to the earth, expressing gratitude. Spend some time in quiet reflection or simply observing your surroundings.

When you feel ready, close the ceremony by thanking the earth and any spirits or deities you may have invoked.
