The "spirit of place" refers to the energy within the area where you reside. This can include the earth, trees, weather, animals, and even the people. Understanding the spirit of place takes work, meditation, and time. This simple spell is designed to aid in making that connection.

Get a brown candle and place it somewhere in nature where you will be able to retrieve it. You can find a spot on the ground where few people go, hide it in a tree, or conceal it under a rock. Leave it there overnight to absorb the various energies present. The next day, retrieve the candle, along with a small bit of dirt or plant material from the area. Be sure not to disturb any wildlife. Place the candle in a holder and surround its base with the earthy bits you collected. Every time you light the candle, you are drawing the spirit of place to the flame by honoring and acknowledging it. Light it for a few minutes per day until it is gone.
