I am TELLING YOU if you have spent months, years, around the same trees, land, etc., they WILL recognize you and reach out to you or not mind if you reach out to them. You don’t need to know anything about them.
A tree in the forest behind my parents house I’ve never spoken to before reached out - I never would’ve expected it. I don’t know what kind of tree it is. But of course this tree knows me. This tree has known me since I was six.
Trust me. This land knows you. These plants know you. They want to speak with you.
my tip to befriending nature spirits is to just like Go There and be around them. maybe sprinkle a few native seeds for the birds, give a squirrel a little pile of nuts, clean up a bit, sing a little, etc. they'll get used to you being around and be like "oh!!! the human who sings to us is back!!" its literally that easy. just do nice things and spend time with them, they'll warm up to you.
Little Leafy Spirit. Don't know if I ever showed you these photos? Would like to show you more of their family sometime.
There's one photo from the middle of glazing, just 'cause it's fun to compare!
This is inspired by @cardicoven ‘s plant spirit devotional challenge. I got permission to do this spinoff. This challenge is to help you bond with a crystal of your choice and its energy and spirit!
DAY 1: Introduction to the Crystal you’re choosing to focus this challenge on.
DAY 2: Research and share where this crystal is naturally located (mined etc)! If it’s mined in multiple countries, list them!
DAY 3: Research and share the Crystal/Mineral’s structure and formations. Does it naturally form in a cubic formation or something different! Get specific!
DAY 4: Research and share historical or ancient uses (if any). If it’s a newly discovered crystal, when was it discovered, and by who?
DAY 5: Do your best to create art inspired by the crystal you chose.
DAY 6: Research and share the Magical Correspondences!
DAY 7: Research and share folk tales, myths, or stories associated with the crystal! If there isn’t any pre-existing story, make your own (but be sure to mention it’s something you made up).
DAY 8: Research and list deities and spirits associated with the crystal.
DAY 9: Share a tarot or oracle card YOU feel embodies this crystal’s energy!
DAY 10: Create a sigil to invoke the power of this crystal’s energy/spirit. You can trace this sigil on the crystal with your finger to activate its strongest power or your connection with it.
DAY 11: Meditate or focus on the crystal for five minutes. Then journal afterwards how it went!
DAY 12: Write about your current relationship with the Crystal and its spirit!
DAY 13: Personal goals when working with this crystal spirit!
DAY 14: Research ways to safely cleanse the crystal without damaging it. (Is it sun safe, water safe, salt safe, etc)
DAY 15: Exercise conclusion, main takeaways, and final overview!
Looking for blogs to follow and or mutuals to discuss practices with !! I'm also open to exchanging discords!! :)) Anyone who posts original content about or practices;
