Elemental Check-in:

Tools Reflection Questions:

1. Crystals:  

•    Which crystals or stones resonate with you most during the winter months?  
•    Write down three crystals you plan to work with and how they will support your intentions for the Winter Arc (e.g., snowflake obsidian for protection, moonstone for emotional balance).

2. Herbs and Incense:  

•    – What herbs or incense will you incorporate into your rituals this winter?

Elemental Alignment Ritual:  

• Choose a quiet time when you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle to represent your inner fire, and gather an item to represent each element (a stone for Earth, a bowl of water, a feather or incense for Air, and any personal symbol for Spirit).  
• As you sit in your sacred space, hold each item and reflect on how that element is currently supporting you in winter.  
• Speak a small intention for each element (e.g., “May Earth ground me,” “May Water cleanse me,” etc.).  
• Finish with a grounding meditation, visualizing the energy of each element working together in harmony as you move through the winter season.
