Okay, that's cool, but then howdo you adapt your rituals and
spells again quote unquote toalign with the energy of each
season?
That's deep Right.
It's like you don't have to bea practicing witch to appreciate

Totally, it's universal right,although got to say, that whole
spiritual growth thing can feela little intimidating, maybe
even a tad too, you know, outthere for some people.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh, for sure, it's a loaded term, right.
But what I like is this article.
It doesn't try to box it in,it's more like spiritual growth.
It's about that journey youtake to understand yourself,
connect with something bigger,however you define that.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Right, it's personal.
It's about recognizing we'realways changing, always learning
Our understanding of ourselves,the world, it's always evolving

finding meaning in everydaystuff.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, it's about the little things too.
Okay, so let's jump into acouple prompts from these
sections.
See what we find In spiritualgrowth.
This one stood out to meReflect on a spiritual lesson
you've learned recently.
So far, pretty standard, butthen how has this lesson changed
your perspective or practice?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Ooh, I like where that's going.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right, and it doesn't have to be about like organized
religion or anything, it couldjust be a life lesson.
You know, something that justclicked for you, a conversation
that shifted something.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Exactly Recognizing those aha moments.
But more importantly, it'sabout what you do with that new

How does it actually change you?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's putting it into practice, turning those insights
into like real transformation.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yes, 100%.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, now over in creativity and inspiration.
This one's cool Describe acreative project you've worked
on recently, so that's broadright.
But then it asks how did yourmagical practice inspire or
influence this project?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's so good.
It reminds you that creativityit doesn't have to be this big
grand thing.
It can be in anything you do.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Totally.
