Part two- Larry Cornett
WHAT TO NOT DO:
If nature spirits are approached with disrespect by attempting to command them rather than listening to them and inviting them to work with you, nature spirits may flee, rebel, or attack.
CALLING NATURE SPIRITS:
To make the most out of working magical ritual in the wild, one
should find power spots where nature spirits are receptive to the
ritual planned and approach the spirits with respect, as equals.
The most effective power spots for working with the living intelligences of nature are located in wild areas with diverse, active ecologies.
When entering a wild area to find a site for ritual,find a place that feels good. Then do the following, either individually or, if in a group, as a guided meditation:
Relax, while standing upright, and focus on your breathing.
Breathe deep breaths from the diaphragm. Breathe together if
in a group.Feel the wind, and let it relax you and awaken your spirit within, as your deep breathing takes you into non-ordinary
reality.Picture, in your mind's eye, a light inside you. As you
breathe, feel the light expand, purify and energize you - as
it expands to fill your aura.Feel yourself glowing, balanced, purified, and full of power.Connect with your inner self (your higher self), and feel your intuitive self operating.
Feel yourself as: The wind, full of life and intelligence, communicating with all round.The Sunlight, warm, alive, channeling the power to communicate with nature and energizing all around.Water, emotional, intuitive, refreshing, and connected with nature.The Earth, and note how your physical body is able to wander while remaining part of Mother Earth.Focus on your spiritual self, and: Note the light within and feel it as love, Expand the light and love beyond the immediate aura of your body to the surrounding area - where you will go to find a power spot and contact nature spirits.
Telepathically (by thinking while channeling the love and light
energy) send out signals to nature spirits to emerge and be
aware of your presence.Say why you have come, and invite them to join in sharing,mutual celebration, and the work you intend. Visualize the light and love energy you are channeling
extending out and merging with the light from distant places.
Feel the power of the Earth flowing up through your body and
feet.Feel the power from the sky, and channel this power also to
further energize the carrier signal of light and love for communicating with nature.Visualize the light expanding and merging.Continue to send out telepathic signals.Now go deeper:
Close your eyes, sit on the Earth, and feel your connection
while you channel more light and love.Continue modulating the light and love with your thoughts -inviting receptive spirits to join with you and to make themselves known.If in a group, someone should start playing a drum at a rate of about one beat per second; and you should listen to drum and let the drum take you deeper.Affirm that you are a nature magician, a medicine person, who knows and communicates with nature. Let this part of
yourself emerge to full consciousness. Let the drum and the
connection to your inner self awaken that part of yourself
that naturally communicates with other life forms. Let it
awaken your telepathic senses.Continue sending telepathic signals to nature.When you feel ready and an inner urge to begin, open your eyes a crack and look around, while continuing to channel
love and light and telepathically calling for a response.You may see light coming from certain areas that are receptive. You may get other signals, such as a feeling of power or love returning in a certain direction. Perhaps the type of response to this work will be unexpected follow your intuition in interpreting it.
You may test your connection by communicating (mentally) instructions for signals for yes/no responses (such as light
getting brighter for less and darker for no) and then mentally ask questions and observe the responses.When you have found an areas that seems to be responsive and receptive, begin walking to the area, while beaming love energy. Extend your aura to the area and sense the energy.
ENTERING A POWER SPOT:
Before entering a power spot, ask permission to enter. If the response is good, enter; if not, locate another more receptive area.When entering the power spot, look around. Perhaps the
responsive energy will be concentrated around some singularity
(a bush, a tree, a specific branch, a moss covered rock, or
other entity that stands out). Perhaps the energy will be more
general. Use your intuition and feedback from the spirits to
guide your actions.If it feels right, send out a signal that you would like to touch the singularity (or the ground) for better communication. If the response is good, approach beaming love energy, and then touch or hug the singularity (or the ground).
Treat the spirits as you would other Pagans you meet for the
first time - be sensitive, open, and listen.(I underline this part here)...
