Mother Nature From a Witch’s Perspective

Mother Earth truly has given us a lot of reasons to celebrate life. It provides us with shelter, food, and clothing. The four essential elements in Wicca; earth, air, fire, and water comes from Mother Earth. Wiccans have always been consistent with their emphasis on nature worship. In every living creature, the goddess is within everyone; just waiting to be discovered and explored.

Wiccans venerate the goddess in many ways. A lot of the magick that takes place during coven meetings call upon the power of the goddess to shine from within or to grow in them. The goddess is everything to wiccans. The goddess is the nature, which is the source of everything that we need for striving in the physical world.

The importance of Mother Nature has always been a moral dilemma to us human beings. In recent times, Mother Nature had proven of her limitless power through hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. Tragedy has struck us human beings because we do not clearly see the value of Mother Nature as the sole giver of sustenance of life.

Without Mother Nature, we will be nothing but beings on the road to continuous decay. Mother Nature has two faces; the provider of life to humanity, and the savage force that can destroy everything in the blink of an eye. Mother Nature is not evil from my latter point of view. Mother Nature in this sense is justice. We witches believe that the environment should be given great reverence and importance.

The fertile soil produces what we take in as nourishment, and the boundless oceans give us food and treasures. Exploitation of natural resources is something that we should stop immediately. Our selfish utilization is causing burden to our planet, and at the same time is an explanation of worldwide human suffering. If only we can stop our selfish ways, and start helping out with sustaining the beauty of Mother Nature.

We can show our respect to Mother Nature in countless ways. They might not be big, like using recyclable materials instead of plastics. Instead of solely depending on oil for fuel and electricity, why don’t we use other forms of renewable energy?

It is not only safe for the environment, but also is a way to decrease the likelihood of disease and illness to us humans. Now is the perfect time for us to show our appreciation for Mother Nature. Let’s take each other’s hand and help in renewing her magnificence back, and give her the salute that she mostly deserves.

We may never have realized the importance of Mother nature if it weren’t for the Wiccans. They are so in tuned with nature that they’ve found ways on how to utilize the natural resources without exploiting them. Though most of their charms and Wiccan spells are sourced from Nature, they only take what they need and give thanks for such a gift back to Mother Earth.

We should take in some Wiccan practices when we consume or use resources from the environment as well. I’m sure it’s going to be awkward at first, but when you think of it, respect and gratitude is truly due to individuals and non-living things which provide us with the things that we need.
