In this captivating episode, I unveil the hidden magic of sacred places right in our own backyard. Journey with me to French Creek State Park in Pennsylvania - a landscape reborn from its industrial past at Hopewell Furnace into a thriving, healing sanctuary. Guided by a calling from Inanna, I embark on a 3 day, 3 night descent into the wilderness, retreating to a secluded cabin where I build both indoor and outdoor altars, listen deeply to the land’s ancient wisdom, and learn about our relationship with the Moon.

Throughout my transformative experience (from moonlit rituals that brought both eerie warnings and profound comfort, to the inspiring spark for my third book) I explore themes of deep listening, silence, and the four tenets of witchcraft. Discover how sacredness isn’t confined to far off lands, but can be found in every tree and stone, reminding us that we’re never truly alone.

Join me as I redefine sacred connection and invite you to see the divine in your own surroundings.

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.
