***Taken from "Earth Power" by Scott Cunningham
Healing with the Earth works through the process of transference. The wound or disease is transferred magically to another substance, usually an organic one, which is then buried. As it rots it releases the wound or disease.
To remove a disease or heal a wound, rub the afflicted part with an apple or potato. Then, as quickly as possible, dig a hole in the ground, put it in, and cover it over with earth. It is done.
One note here might be wise. Healing magick should always be used in addition to conventional medicine and never as a replacement. Doctors are the only people qualified to help your body heal itself.
By all means perform healing magick for yourself or friends - but not in the place of qualified medical attention. The medicine of today was the magick of yesterday.
