Ah, nature! We all love nature, especially if you are a witch like I am, you can’t deny nature is basically in everything witchy we do! When casting spells and performing rituals, connecting with nature is definitely important and powerful to help you create better craft but also to let natural elements become one with you.
Because our life, made up of stress and things to do with a frantic rhythm, we often forget to notice and listen to nature and this is so unfair! Mother Nature is always there for us, giving us what we need the most: a sunny day, the lunar phases, the sea, the energy of the wind, the beauty of the trees but also amazing creatures and precious gifts like fruits, veggies… she has our back in all moments of our lives!
How do we create a connection with nature, then? There is a special way I love so much! Invoking deities to connect with nature!

Getting ready
If you are new to similar practices, you might need a little preparation to prepare and find yourself open and receptive to the whole experience.
First and foremost, you need to make sure this connection with nature means a lot to you and that you will use it to live your life better and further your craft if you are into it, mindfully and acknowledging the power and the energy of nature all around you.
You can decide to create this connection with a deity before casting a spell, before collecting herbs for a ritual, or before some practice like creating your moon water, performing a new moon or a full moon ritual but also if you only need to disconnect from your daily life and get in tune with the powerful energy of nature that’s the perfect time to do it!
How to set up your place
The basics of this setting are the same for all deities, then according to the deity you want to connect with, you are going to custom everything with offerings and with the right approach to that specific deity so it is going to listen to you and be more open to bless you with its gifts.
Make sure the place you choose to perform this little ritual is very calm and quiet and you can spend there a few moments of relaxation and isolation from daily life.
If you can, you can even bring this practice outside! It would be amazing! Choose a spot you like, a natural place you like the most.
If you decide to connect with deities while outside, avoid using a candle as it can be dangerous! You can perform the rest and then when you get home, you can light the candle up.
Light a green candle
A green candle is a perfect candle to recall the green energy of nature! Use it to enhance the connection with nature. You can let it burn out completely if you want.
Create a sigil for nature
Create a sigil for nature! Sigils are just wonderful and, in case you feel you need some talisman to attract honor nature always! Make a few statements to nature and tell it why you love it so much, what you like the most, and then create a sigil with those thoughts! You can keep it with you afterward.
Visualize natural blessings
Before getting started, is very important to raise your vibrations and make you feel already in tune with nature. Meditate and visualize the best place for you to feel a connection with nature. What’s the best scenario to recreate in your mind to feel nature’s blessings and energy take over? Do whatever comes naturally to you!
Plant a seed
This is optional but it can be great to let nature know you have her back and respect her cycle of life taking care of some tiny seeds planting them and helping them grow!

I respect you and your energy
You protect nature and its creatures

The best way to approach Pan is using music! You can play something if you can, or you can simply put some relaxing music on! A flute melody would be much appreciated!

Be very cheerful and positive! Ask him to join your celebration of nature and give you some more powerful connections with nature. Let him know how much you love nature and how important would be for you to create a stronger connection with nature and its elements.
Which offerings should you offer and how?
A vase or a bowl can be a great offering for Pan. He loves it! Consider this as a tool he is going to use to bless you with abundance and natural energies. If you are here because you want to boost your natural energy even more for your witchy craft, you can also use some bowl or another recipient you use to cast spells. It would be great!
Saying a prayer and thanking Pan
“God Pan, God of Nature,
Grant me with your blessings
Enhance my connection with nature
I feel freedom, relaxation and fresh energy take over
Bless me, bless my craft, bless my life
I am open to connect with nature your way
With confidence, openness and appreciation
Blessed be
Thank you”
