Even though it may still feel like winter, life is stirring in the earth. Use this special day to honor the elements and get in touch with nature. Since the Moon is full tonight, try to perform this ritual near a window where the moonlight can shine through, or outdoors if weather permits. You will need a stone of your choice (and/or a handful of clean soil), a leaf, a feather, a container of water, and a candle. Light the candle and place it in front of you (or in the center of a group ritual). Touch each item mindfully and consider how each one repre-sents an element: earth, air, fire, and water. Hold the stone or leaf in your hands, dip your fingers in the water, stroke the feather, gaze upon the candle flame. Consider how vital each element is to life. As you consider each element, use the following chant:

Field, flower, tree, and stone;
Build the Earth that I call home.
Changing wind, air to breathe,
Precious atmosphere and breeze.
Candle flame, fire bright,
Warmth and heat,
radiant light.
Drink of life in flow or freeze,
Rain and river, spring and sea.
