The Elemental of Pentacles and Rediscovering Our Connection with Nature

Thank you Spirit for all that I have and all of the continued gifts and blessings I receive including the (financial) abundance that is coming my way!

Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Elemental of Pentacles - Gnome: In the Pagan Tarot the Elementals are recognized as the purest form of energy.  The elemental for Earth is the Gnome.  Gnomes are found throughout the world.  They are dwarf faeries who appear to be quite old because they mature very young though they live about a thousand years.  They have a tendency to look like small bark-like tree men, about a foot tall, with acorn hats and clothing in natural hues of red, brown and green.  They are active all year round.  They live deep in ancient forests under old oak trees and make their dwellings in their intricate root systems.  Their main job is the protection and healing of wildlife, though they occasionally help humans along their spiritual quest.  The Gnome represents someone with a natural, deep, strong connection to the earth and animals.  This Elemental can indicate a message, often pertaining to finances, resources, health, or a project that's been completed."

I'm drawn to the phrases "live deep in ancient forests", "the protection and healing of wildlife" and "help humans along their spiritual quest."  These phrases represent a way, a path for how we can rebuild, strength and follow our true purposes in life.  We need to immerse ourselves in nature to relearn our deep and integrated connection with nature so that we understand more fully that what we are doing to nature, we are doing to ourselves.  We need to see nature as an extension of ourselves.  Every time a species goes extinct we have also killed off a part of ourselves.

So let's take a walk in the park, go for a hike, or spend time in our gardens with this newfound knowledge and give nature a fresh look from our spiritual eyes, we just might like what we see and want to do more to protect that which is more a part of ourselves than we think.

Additionally, today's visit by this Elemental, this Gnome is letting us know that we are entering a week of good news around our finances, resource, or health depending on what area is possibly lacking and for others a project is finally and successfully completed.

Thank You Spirit.
