The foundation of ancient pagan traditions was rooted in a deep, unbreakable connection between humans and the forces of nature. This bond made human consciousness, worldview, and even the body more attuned and responsive to elemental changes. Although modern man may have forgotten this skill, the body still retains this knowledge. However, being influenced by higher levels of consciousness, it lacks the ability to freely express this innate wisdom.
