Hi Jenn, what a lovely read, thank you! 🙏 I know exactly what you mean about being in ancient woodland and the magickal shift in the air. It’s just the most amazing sense! Has the ability to take you somewhere far away. We must absolutely try and protect these incredible environments. Wishing you new moon blessings and eclipse illuminations 🤩💫💜

It truly does! What a blessing to enter the woods and feel both transported and transformed <3 I hope you’ve had a gorgeous new moon and eclipse season, darling. Have you found it to be as illuminating as predicted? (I feel like the revelations have been flowing thick and fast!!)

Yes lovely 🙌 March has been pretty big! With Neptune moving into Aries too, it feels like the wheels of this cosmos are really starting to move - just need to work through the retrogrades…👍

This is quite the year for astrology and mixed with springtime energy now, it feels hopeful, if uncharted! Eclipse season can really illuminate things and help us prepare for what is to come. Take notice of those revelations! 💜🤩💜

Uncharted feels like a good word here! I’m really feeling those big shifts - it feels like we’re going into brand new territory! Thanks, my lovely! I’ll definitely pay close attention to those revelations - I hope you’re keeping grounded and filled with heart during this “all hands on deck” time <3

I am lucky to have some ancient woodland which is 12 minutes walk from my home in North London.On Friday I collected some wild garlic from there, not too much there's still plenty in the woods.As you say only take what you need.We then used it in a ritual soup for our coven bringing in the Spring and new energy along with other herbs including nettles.Not only delicious but magical too.Another benefit of wild garlic; I have IBS and often need a low fodmap diet The garlic bulb is a trigger for me, but the wild garlic is low fodmap and is like a medicine for my poorly tummy.Natures medicine right there!thank you for some beautiful positive writing I hope the new moon was kind to you.

What a wonderful thing to have ancient woodland so close to home! Such a blessing. This sounds like an absolutely wonderful thing to do while the wild greens are fresh for the picking - a delicious treat and a fantastic way to welcome in the gentle spirit of spring with the coven. Thank you so much! My own coven I met on the new moon and ate ritual salsa verde hehe. Very tasty!

I just spotted some wood anemones on my run this morning! What a beautiful start to the day. I checked the map you linked and it is indeed ancient woodland - so exciting to find out there is one so close by!
