consciousness that last and helpful chains of synchronicity. In addition, working with Nature Spirits can
also bring a deep sense of partnership with Nature, and bring new levels of attunement.
To get the best results, perform nature spirit attunement several hours to several days before the main
ritual. The purposes of such attunement are to find suitable power spots and to get the help of friendly
nature spirits. This timing gives Nature time to gather her children and to prepare to actively participate
in the main ritual.
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. I once attended a ritual
by some pseudo-Crowleyites who attempted to perform the "Ritual of the Barbarous Names" at a power
spot in a forest and then to extend the circle several hundred yards in all directions.
While the forest in general had loud insect and frog noises, the area at which the ritual took place got
quiet immediately when the main ritualist declared that all spirits were subject unto him. The vibes from
nature could best be characterized as "Oh yea, Mother!" One participant was quickly possessed by an
angry spirit and kept repeating "You killed my children, your children will never live in peace." When
the priestess stepped out of the boundaries of the original circle, she was attacked by bees; and bees
covered the Book of the Law. Magicians should know better than to attempt to command spirits whose
true names they do not know!
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. In my
experience, 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 a 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.
