Late posting this as I've just got back from the Peak District, but todays post is to help you narrow down the divination practice which may be best for you, as so much choice can be overwhelming! ❤️

New podcast interview! I had a lot of fun chatting with Aerik about lithomancy, and even got to do a couple of live readings at the end! Watch it here:

Forgot I've scheduled guided meditations - I've missed posting about Septembers! 🤦‍♀️ The first new one is a cleansing stream meditation, and the second is around gratitude. Both (and more) here: www.youtube.com/@JessicaHoward-o9o

I performed my own solitary dedication over 20 years ago now. If you had told young me where this path would take me, I'm not sure I would've believed you! So here's how to craft your own ❤️

There's a particular area near I've been (unsuccessfully) petitioning the local council to turn it into a park/ecological space. Looks like I'm not the only one who wants it kept! Would love any ideas from anyone who has done similar!

Weirdly, I have really been feeling this energy the past couple of days! I'm about to take a month off work which is the perfect time to make the most of this recalibration energy.

This week we look at how digital apps can be used. I know there is a much larger question around whether digital tools should be used at all in nature-based religions, but that is the focus of a future post!

Bit late posting this, but seeing as I missed last week (prepping for a job interview) and I'll miss next week's (off at a festival) I should get a blog post out this week!

The Lake Maidens are some of my favourite water spirits (ok, I have quite a few favourites 🤣).

New post! This is on Patron Deities. I have a few deities I work with, but I wouldn't call them patrons for one reason or another. So I thought I would write a bit on what they are, and how to honour them ❤️

Guided meditation time! Late, because I have only today realised we are in July 😂 This is a ten min meditation to open and heal your root chakra. And I think I've sorted my mic issues!

Work has been kicking my butt & I find it hard to connect to my spiritual side when I'm trying to placate clients who want everything for nothing 😭 But I did take a wander into Greenwich Saturday, and came across Morris Dancers! Good for the soul ❤️

Heather is one of my favourite plants! Some say that purple heather is that colour as it represents blood spilled in battle, so white heather is lucky as it hasn't been tainted by the blood of the fallen. Some say white heather grows in the resting places of the Fae.

It has been an unexpectedly manic week! I at least remembered the weekly blog post though 🤣 This week we look at recognising and interpreting signs/omens in everyday life.

Just a few pictures from the river clean up/ritual today which was honestly AMAZING. I already can't wait for next year ❤️
