📔 Questions to reflect on

  1. Reflect on a natural element or plant that resonates with your local environment. How can you honor its spirit or energy in your daily practice this week?
  2. Choose one upcoming seasonal festival from the Wheel of the Year. How might you personally celebrate or acknowledge its unique energies, perhaps with a simple craft or meal?
  3. Consider a small, everyday problem you're facing. How could you apply a hedgewitch's approach – perhaps a simple charm or a nature-infused "recipe" – to address it?
