Hello all, I have felt very drawn recently to work with Nature. I love nature and all of the creatures and spirits associated with it. I have no experience with it directly but am open to book suggestions or advice in general.

thank you all!

Sit quietly in some natural area and notice to which trees/plants/rocks your attention is drawn. Sometimes your attention will be drawn to the space between some trees/bushes.

If it feels like that space is watching you then it is likely a nature spirit. So send some light from your heart to that space.

Notice if the space that is watching moves closer or further.

Sometimes, with a natural pool/stream of water, there will be an elemental or nature spirit just above the water.

Once I was looking very carefully for elementals in the flow of a small waterfall. After about a minute, a small cloud of vapor detached from the waterfall and came about 10 yards to me, and touched me very gently on the cheek

I will attempt this next time I have the opportunity. Any book recommendations?

I will share with you what I am planning to do, as I wish to connect with nature spirits as well.

I used to visit a place near in my area, it is protected and it is a very old mountain area where a river crosses in the middle, and still filled with remnants of old Roman gold mines.

In the past, I was able to scout and find areas where I felt particularly well, as well as other areas where I felt a "buzz" wen I crossed them, normally paths with two very old trees side by side (portals, gates?).

I am planning to vocally transmit my intent on one of those areas, and simply sit and observe...perhaps meditate.

Regardless of the outcome, I will thank them, leave gifts, and return a few days later.

I’ve been trying to talk to a tree in my backyard for the last several weeks. I’ll just lean up against it, maybe make direct contact with a palm against the trunk and send some thoughts towards it. I haven’t heard anything back, but it has become my favorite place to hang out lately. The vibe is now very relaxed and protective. The birds seem to be more comfortable getting close to me as well.

I’ve also been making simple offerings of energy to any spirits in my backyard and an employee garden at work. Once again, no direct results but I’m going to keep them both up, and just assume that I’m getting the ball rolling with something.

I am reminded of something Josephine McCarthy said in her book, The Magical Knowledge Trilogy on page 255 (pdf):

They [the faeries] began to talk to me, to tell me about the trees and the wind
and the horses. None of it was like conversation talk, it was not like
talking at all. It was something else. At the time I wrote a poem about
them which didn’t survive the ravages of time, but one line I can
remember from it is “hear the whispers, mumbles and cautions,
silent eyes that watch and wait.” That was probably the best
description that I could give. Wherever I went I could hear them and
feel them, and they gave me a knowing.

I used to live behind Forres Scotland (witches in Macbeth) and one forest path was used quite a lot by members of our community. There was a pair of trees either side of the path that were called "the scrubbers" because they used to scrub the auras of passing community members.

One of those trees would talk to me mentally - said its name was Irwin. I recall one midnight on New Years Eve, I was out on the hill and stopped at Irwin and it said that it had been fed twice that night. First was the rain, then the sky cleared and it was fed with starlight - containing the patterns for its unfoldment

When I "look" at Irwin now, he waves his branches at me

Wow!! Roma! The fact that the Tree moved its branches at you was amazing!

And you know what Roma, if The Universe wants to, The Universe can make the Trees move in physical Reality. I had that happened to me once. And, it was crazy, but I Loved that.

I am in nature often, I don’t really feel a sense of being looked at. I want to broaden my horizons and not be trapped by my mindset. Any tips?
learn shadow magic this training gives you power to unlock portals to the spirit worlds arounds us were fairies etc are. Shadows are very useful for gaining magical ablities of this nature, Also practice drawing into your own internal meridians the energy of the earth, this gives you roots and connection.

'They gave me a knowing' is a perfect way of putting it.
I love nature and spend most of my days in the garden. For me, the connection happened in time. Looking after the trees, flowers, plants I feel harmony , like we are one. The more love you give to the environment, the more you get in return. You can feel it in the air, you can hear it in the sounds, you can see how the animals and plants start to consider your garden a home....and than the energy is just there...
