The Element of Earth

Earth is the element which governs the Northern quarter. The ruler is Ghob who is also called Ghom. This is from Norse mythology. He oversees the gnomes and dwarves. The color associated with earth is dark green. It is cold and dry. The season is winter. The time is midnight. The symbol is the pentacle. Earth is symbolized as ritual salt.

These ideas come from a book on Norse magick. There are other traditions which contradict these ideas. These ideas are the ones I have worked with for this past year. This is influenced by a street name in my life.

Gemstones, mountains, caves, and soil are associated with the element of Earth. Respect, endurance, responsibility, stability, thoroughness, and purpose in life are also Earth qualities.

Here is the book I have been working with:
