📔 Questions to reflect on

Reflect on a specific natural element (e.g., a tree, a stone, rain). How has it personally connected you to the earth, and how might you incorporate its essence into your practice?
Consider a season you feel most attuned to. What magical energies and resources does it offer you, and how can you consciously work with them?
What 'fancy tools' or complex rituals have you felt pressured to use in the past? How might you simplify your practice by drawing directly from the 'source' instead?
