Those with a strong connection to the Earth have a strong connection to forests, and to the rythm of life itself. When working with Earth crystals, stones and plants are often used. Some deities of Earth are Pan, the horned god of the forests and woods, Gaia, the greek goddess of Earth, and Geb, the Egyptian Earth god.
