It really is global.
I got an email from a listenerin South Africa who found the
online forums and instantly feltconnected to others with
similar beliefs.
They told me it was likefinally finding a home, even
though it was all virtual.

That's so cool and it shows how powerful that sense
of belonging can be, even online.
It's stuff like this thattransforms a community into
something much more like afamily.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Exactly, ruby, and the House of Ravenbrook embodies
that by giving members thetools to learn, grow and connect
in ways that feel deeplypersonal, no matter their
background.
The Ravenbrook traditiondoesn't just stop at building a
sense of community.
It extends deeply into personalgrowth and exploration.
When it comes to practicalmagic, for example, it starts
(03:46):
with intention, aligning energy,daily rituals and symbols to
uncover your inner potential.
It's fascinating stuff,honestly.
What stands out for me is howit's not just about wielding
mystical power, but aboutself-discovery and empowerment.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Exactly and it's like totally accessible.
I mean, take the dailygratitude ritual.
They're not asking you tosummon the moon or anything,
it's just this simple practiceof setting intentions each
morning and it genuinely changesyour mindset.
I tried it last week and yeah,how'd it go?
Okay, so I decided to focus onthis morning affirmation thing.
(04:23):
You know I am capable.
I am calm kind of vibes.
At first I felt silly.
Like you know, talking amcapable.
I am calm kind of vibes.
At first I felt silly, like youknow, talking to my mirror.
But it's wild how it shiftsyour energy.
By the end of the week I waswalking around like yeah, I've
got this.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's the beauty of it You're taking a few moments
every day to align your thoughts, emotions and energy.
It's not just inspirational,it's actionable, and it
reinforces this idea that magic,in this sense, is about being
intentional with how we live ourdaily lives.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Right, and it's not about perfection.
It's more about like showing upfor yourself, even in the
smallest ways.
The Ravenbrook focus on symbolsand archetypes really ties into
that too.
Those moments of reflection.
They make you realise you'vegot more tools than you think to
handle life's ups and downs.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Absolutely, and it's also about creating this rhythm
in our routines.

The ritual part connects you tosomething deeper, but it's
tailored to what resonates withyou personally.
It's not one size fits all.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Exactly that's what I love about Ravenbrook's
teachings it's flexible withoutlosing depth.
Plus, let's be real.
Anyone can start Like pick asymbol that matters to you or
just take five minutes toreflect on what you're grateful
for.
There's no wrong way to begin.

It's about finding what worksfor you and slowly transforming
ordinary routines into somethingextraordinary.
Practical magic creates thisconnection to yourself, to your
intentions and even to others.

idea.
