Rooted

May you never tear the living ritual that is magic merged within the roots of your being, the soil of your soul.

We are often told to start with building intuition, which is undoubtedly true; never underestimate the power of working with the spirit. You need to learn to ground the spiritual information into your physical life. To be flighty is to connect to spirit but to be rooted is to become a channel for spirit. You become a vessel that allows the divine intelligence to spread its wisdom here on Earth. A more familiar word is manifestation. Being grounded is about being present and aware of how things make you feel. You have to feel into your body.

You are being asked to dig in deeper. Maintaining deep roots is how you pull yourself from the darkness. It’s easy to get grounded or to do your spiritual practice when things are going well. It’s an entirely different ball game when you feel defeated and broken, but the darkest parts of your journey are when you need to be rooted most. The real gift of spiritual commitment is found when you feel like your back is against a wall.

Don’t give up when times are hard. Instead find nourishment below the surface. Find your connection to your true self, your ancestors, your guides, your trust and your instincts. Your situation is not hard so that you can give up; it is a call to surrender to your practice. This message is amplified if you have also pulled Ancestors or Crystal and Herbs.

In reverse, Rooted is even more significant. You have lost your way, or feel unsafe, unsupported or entirely out of body. It can be hard to grow something when you do not have soil to support its foundation. Put your goals aside and take time to create an Earth-based practice. You might find that your magic hasn’t worked and you’re wondering why. That is because this piece of the puzzle is missing. This is especially true if you have never consciously grounded before. Add this to your practice and watch yourself grow.
