Earth represents permanence, stability, strength, security, wisdom, practicality, materialism, wealth, abundance, prosperity, patience, truth, and responsibility.
Earth symbols include the earth, soil, rocks, mountains, trees. Types of magic using earth energies include gardening, grounding, working with stone/crystals, knots, binding, money spells, and runes.
