Just as the Moon has different phases Witches use as a correspondence for their magicks, the Earth has phases, too that can be harnessed. From the mundane perspective we recognize these phases as Seasons and even if the location of where you live doesn't have recognizable seasons, there still is an energetic shifting that occurs at these times, which can be used as a correspondence when spell casting. Witches recognize these seasons or energetic phases and refer to them as Seasonal Tides.
The Earth's Seasonal Tides maintain a balance between the existing polarities ... between what we recognize as light and dark, form and force, spirit and matter. They are the natural flowing of the energies over the surface of the earth during the course of a calendar year, which affect the Magnetic Sphere of the Earth and produce currents of energy corresponding to the nature of each of the currents. These currents are categorized as Stellar (stars), Solar (sun), Planetary (planets), Lunar (moon), and Terrestrial (earth).
A steady stream of energy flows from East to West due to the Earth's solar orbit and as the Earth spins on its axis, a magnetic current is established running North to South for half of the year and then South to North during the other half. As the sun appears on the horizon, the Magnetic Sphere of our Earth is stimulated as the elemental influences present themselves in response to the sun’s energy. The elemental influences merge one into the other as they pass through a repeating cycle until sunset.
The Seasonal Tides is what is associated with the Solstices and Equinoxes.
The Winter Solstice – The Tide of Destruction: December 23 – March 21 (Earth)
The Spring Equinox – The Tide of Sowing: March 21 – June 21 (Fire)
The Summer Solstice – The Tide of Reaping: June 21 – September 23 (Water)
The Autumn Equinox – The Tide of Planning: September 23 – December 23 (Air)
Ember Days refers to the period of three days that marked the change of one seasonal tide to the next – from Solstice to Equinox. These days are periods when the approaching seasonal tides are most vulnerable to changes in their energy patterns.
