Mandala for the Earth Season
One of the Ways to Play with Element Wisdom Cards is to create mandalas. I first began making food mandalas when I lived in an ashram in California. As we each took a shift in the kitchen, and I have always loved mornings, it was my delight to make fruit mandalas for the community. It is also the place, I fell in love with persimmons.
Mandala for the Earth Season
To create an Element Wisdom Card Mandala
Create sacred space through ritual.
Design the space. Your sacred expression.
Some of my favorite ways to create sacred space:
Open with prayer.
Bow to the four directions.
Invite our guides.
Give thanks.
Light a candle, smudge, chant.
Choose 5-8 cards. Arrange them in a circle within concentric rings of found or precious materials like seasonal fruits/vegetables, flowers, leaves, shells, stones, sticks, feathers, etc. Choose an elemental center piece: an earthenware filled with soil/clay, a transparent vase of water or a shell, a bell, a wooden bowl, an incense burner. Cards and objects may also be arranged by cardinal directions.

The center is an earthen bowl with Alabama Red Clay. Placing an earthen vessel in the center of the home or filling a vessel with earth in an area of your home or room adds grounding via feng shui placement during these times of change.
