It is home to the powers of the Below: night, winter, the hidden sun, the fallen moon, ancestors, ancient wisdom, and physical sensation. It is also home to sacred horned animals, such as the reindeer and the white buffalo, or fantasy creatures like the unicorn. Looking to the north, try to actually feel the archetypal Earth, the dark powers of matter and the planet as well as what it would be like to be a horned animal surviving in this untamed environment.

      hmmm so interesting ok so here it descirbes what it means to visualize yourself as the element and the attributes of the element
