In our Nature Kid Elemental lessons, we will also be learning about the magical aspects of these courses. Each course is not just linked to us through the educational eyes, but through magic as well. For these course links they are more representative of what magical attribute would be connected with the course. In Pagan culture, everything has specific magical attributes.

Most link time to the past or present and do not focus on the future. With budgeting, we are learning to save for our future while living in the present. Time magick can be practiced in many forms. You can harness the energy of the past to move forward in a current conflict. You can receive signs of the future via visions, or dreams. Right now, we are going to be looking at the different ways we can embrace the present while preparing for the future. Start by thinking about what the present and future mean to you.

In time magick you are focused on the specific time period and what you want to learn from it. For example, if you want to find out about the future of your love life. You would focus on what you desire from your love life and then you would work magick to attract and manifest it. The same goes for magick from the past you would focus on what you want to learn from the past. You then would ask in-depth questions to the Universe as a form of reflection before either meditation or sleep. You would then receive visions or dreams answering those questions.

Just like we have faith that we are all part of the Universe. In both the Christian and Muslim religions time is valued. They are taught to not waste or abuse time, but rather think of it as a blessing from God. Also in Paganism, we have a connection with time and transformation. We know that the aspect and dimension of time have their form of energy. We use and harness that energy to manifest our desires into our current time dimension. While most would not think stones and minerals be able to connect you to move through time, they can. Certain stones are connected to visions of answering questions about dimensional time. Green prehnite, opal, quartz, obsidian, prophecy stones, and jeremejevare are all excellent stones to welcome visions of the past, present, and future. These stones help with time magick and connect with the Universe's energy for answers. We even see the time in the tarot. In the tarot, each card and suit have a meaning. There are four suits in the tarot. Like the tarot, every element is representative of a person's personality and actions. In reading the suits will tell you the time frame for the reading. The Wands suit represents springtime, the Swords suit represents the fall time, the Cups suit represents summertime, and the Pentacles suit represents wintertime. Reading will help the querent understand how to use that information to help them understand. The deities that are associated with time vary depending upon which pantheon you follow. We are just going to look at only two pantheons. In the Greek pantheon, you have the Titan Chronos, which is believed to be the personification of time. In Attica, now known as Athens they hold a festival during harvest time to remember that we will always honor the keeper of time. In the Iranian pantheon, you have the God Zurvan. He is the God of Infinite Time. Zurvan was honored in ancient times as the only God who could control the future. “Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.”

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
