The salt of the Earth

October comes, and with it an elemental collection of Tiny Tuesdays... Thanks freespiral. :-) We enter from the North, not my usual starting point. 

Earth, as one of the five elements within the Western Mystery Traditions, relates to the security of the ground, of groundedness and 'being grounded', of the Winter Solstice and the Dark Moon. It is also the Land within the triplet elementals of Land, Sea and Sky.

Within many spiritual practices, salt is recognised as a physical aspect of Earth, and is often found within rituals and personal altars. Salt is a protector, preserver, barrier. Tastes good on chips, too...

Blessings of the Great Bear of the Starry Heavens. :-)
