Earthworks such as swales, terraces, and rainwater capture sites are essential tools for ecologists and regenerative agriculturalists seeking to facilitate this renewal. These earthworks capture and store rainwater in the land, allowing it to restore the essence of life to the region. The earthworks bring fertility, and fertility brings better rains. Out from the building of the earthworks flows all of the goodness and bounty that restores balance, fertility, and life to the land so long as we honor our role in that cycle.

Cernunnos is generally depicted as a bearded man with deer antlers, holding a snake in one hand and a torc in the other. Cernunnos is associated with fertility, nature, and the life-death cycle. In some depictions, Cernunnos is shown with a purse full of gold. This is thought by some to be a metaphorical reference to knowledge or wisdom, not monetary wealth. Little is known for sure about the role Cernunnos played historically or how he was worshiped.
