Thank you so much for the inspiration of leaving water as an offering. All the well intentioned offerings people leave that are essentially pollutants in nature have been really bugging me. Even natural things, like organic apples or native seeds, risk attracting rats in the close-to-urban area I live. Water is perfect. I’ll push the boat out and bring moon water in my little bottle from chalice well.
I definitely resonate with your sentiment about the work happening out in the field so to speak, and forgive the pun but often literally 😆 - and yes I feel the same. I have similar practices of connecting in to land tree and plant spirits; dancing and singing etc... and often I catch myself blushing as I'm singing, and I hear people approach or see someone walking nearby 😳 I feel bad for feeling embarrassed but yeh lol natural human reaction I guess. It's such healing and beautiful work though, and yes can't recommend it more to those who are able to access outdoor natural spaces. Thank you for sharing Ari. Your practice is wonderful 💗 Autumn blessings Xx
Another way to honor land spirits is to clean up any trash or litter that has been left by other humans. Or you could remove non native invasive plants and replace them with native plants, especially host plants for butterflies and moths.
Good to see, and hear, you. This was particularly interesting to me as I’m trying to connect more with nature spirits and spirits of place - like specific places in the land. So, I thank you for sharing your knowledge. Many Blessings,❤.
This came at the perfect time! I've been connecting with the land more and really seeing the results! I see animals more often, i can feel a warmness. Like a greeting when I'm around.
This is so beautiful and so nice to see. I also work with the local land spirits. They guided me to forest restoration. It's more like a partnership ❤🌲🌳🌿🐝🦋🐌
you can tell from our folklore that even the "elemental gods" were originally local (every spirit had a different name, often according to the location, names like mountain-old-woman, swamp-woman, old-root-man). the only time you see them used in a broader context is the creation stories, which of course were also local / tribal originally (earth mother is often considered one of the three creators, also grandmother of the bear, probably because bears sleep underground, it´s all very logical). they did believe that all the fires came from the same "mother fire", which they did do, take the new fire from the old place´s fire (and a piece of earth too, but that too works only in a tribal context, you would not want the same fire as the enemy). universal literally did not exist.. for me it´s the fakest part of the world religions (where they went off track, or didn´t go off track, just copied from others). the real separation is between land spirits that were ancestral and those that were biological or geological (good luck to anyone trying to define that, because often it´s both, it´s a place and then what was worshipped there, also layers, like different layers of earth had different spirits, also often there was an animal form, and also a mediator, like a tree or fire / smoke). i´m a simple man so i just like the elements themselves, like sand and clay.. i love the texture, clay might be good for moulding things! (also you can rub it on girls, just messy)

Definitely agree!

Another wonderful video ☺️ I love the idea of singing to the spirits but I feel so self conscious of people hearing me like you said haha! 😅
This is such a favourite of mine. It's free and low pressure on my mind ❤❤
Honestly I do exactly what you’re doing. Beautiful to see that. 🖤🍀

Thank you. My practice is very much land based and you gave me new ideas.
Loved these thoughts
I would love a video going through different types of land spirits and the hierarchy. Please
Jeg liker disse. Skål! 🍻
Wow very interesting.can you do a video on your tattoos? blessing 🌛📚🐛
I was going to ask that question about tattoos also!
@@Hoid1990 yes she has really got the bug.
you can tell from our folklore
that even the "elemental gods"
were originally local (every
spirit had a different name,
often according to the location,
names like mountain-old-woman,
swamp-woman, old-root-man).
the only time you see them used
in a broader context is the creation
stories, which of course were
also local / tribal originally
(earth mother is often considered
one of the three creators, also
grandmother of the bear, probably
because bears sleep underground,
it´s all very logical).
they did believe that all the fires
came from the same "mother fire",
which they did do, take the new
fire from the old place´s fire
(and a piece of earth too, but
that too works only in a tribal
context, you would not want the
same fire as the enemy).
universal literally did not exist..
for me it´s the fakest part of
the world religions (where they
went off track, or didn´t go off
track, just copied from others).
the real separation is between
land spirits that were ancestral
and those that were biological or
geological (good luck to anyone
trying to define that, because often
it´s both, it´s a place and then
what was worshipped there, also
layers, like different layers of
earth had different spirits, also
often there was an animal form,
and also a mediator, like a tree
or fire / smoke).
i´m a simple man so i just like
the elements themselves,
like sand and clay.. i love the
texture, clay might be good for
moulding things!
(also you can rub it on girls,
just messy)
