Ancient Druid, Celtic, and Norse traditions, as well as modern spiritual movements like Wicca, follow a spiritual philosophy that can be described as Earth & Moon Magick. People who follow this philosophy believe that the Earth, the Moon, and all of nature are sacred and full of energy, and seek to connect with this rhythm of nature.
At the heart of Earth & Moon Magick traditions is the idea that humans are part of nature - not separate from it. Just like the tides rise and fall with the moon, our energy and emotions shift with the natural world, so practicing this kind of spirituality means learning to work with those rhythms, not against them.
So people who embrace these traditions typically celebrate the changing of the seasons, the cycles of the moon, and the balance between masculine and feminine energies.
In order to harmonize with nature, followers of these traditions often seek to use spells, runes, and rituals. Unlike spells from fantasy movies, spells here are thoughtful actions - that often involve symbols, herbs, or words - which are used to focus your energy and bring change. A spell might involve writing your hopes on a leaf and letting the wind carry them away, creating a protective charm using crystals and a few spoken words, or using an ancient rune to symbolize your intent.
Like followers of other traditions, people who follow Earth & Moon Magick do so simply in order to feel more connected - to the Earth, to each other, and to something greater.
