Our ancestors routinely used the healing power of nature. From plants, to animals, to rocks, to water; from the heavens to the earth, the way of living was in balance with the earth and her gifts to us. The way of honoring these gifts was to respect and call upon the spirits of nature, the elementals of the natural world that connected us to the Creator of all. It is through this sacred relationship that they were able to create harmony and reciprocity as interconnected beings of nature.
