LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

This past year has dealt humanity all sorts of fires to deal with: physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, etc. While there are social and political dumpster fires aplenty, one of the most difficult to deal with is when the very land we live on is aflame. The year started with major wildfires in Australia, and over the summer and fall much of the American West Coast has been experiencing one major fire after another. People, places, animals, habitats – all damaged or destroyed by flame.

Whether started by natural causes (lightning strikes on top of droughts/bad weather) or the irresponsible actions of humans – how we’ve dealt with the land has also played a major factor in spreading those fires. Mismanagement, overbuilding, stripmining, and lack of respect of wisdom from indigenous cultures in how to work with the land (and the fires that naturally occur) have all compounded the situation.

Cool the Fires – A Sigil for Land Connection & Healing was created collectively during my online Sigil Witchery workshop that took place on Friday, October 16th/Saturday October 17th (for the folks in Australia and New Zealand). ( To find out more about my online workshops, visit here.) This class was scheduled to create a more agreeable workshop time for attendees in Australia and New Zealand, but there were other folks joining in from around the world, including California and the Pacific Northwest. And so collectively, we decided upon this theme for our group exericse.

The following is a screenshot of our digital whiteboard:
