The land around you isn’t just a backdrop to your spiritual practice. It’s an active, sacred force you can call upon in your rituals. In this episode, I share how to connect with the land where you live, the places you visit, and even the Earth you bring home with you.
No matter where you are, whether it feels spiritually vibrant or disconnected, remember: all land is sacred because it is the body of our mother. I’ll walk you through ways to introduce yourself to the land spirits, invite them into your rituals, and even ask for a gift in return.
We’ll also talk about how the land spirits are powerful allies in protection magic—like the time a friend of mine who took my advice on working with the land and found it actually worked.
You’ll learn why you should bring dirt inside for your altar, how to create a dedicated place for your workings, and why keeping a land spirit journal can help you build a deep, ongoing dialogue with the earth.
✨ Ready to work with the land in a whole new way? Let’s get into it.
