An ability of the ancients much lost in our present society was the ability to be aligned with natural forces, the
very energy of the earth. People were naturally more active in the spring and summer, more contemplative and reclusive during the winter. On a daily basis their own personal life force was enhanced by the natural forces around them. This is not just doing magick, it is living magick...Sakara.
