A little book that's a helpful guide to get into contact with your inner child. It's also about connection with nature, mindfulness and grounding. Sometimes, believing in magic, even just for a little bit, relaxes our nervous systems.
Very useful for developing creativity, also.

Nature's Hidden Oracles, written by Liz Dean, is a beautiful and insightful book that explores the symbolism and meaning behind some of nature's most intriguing creatures. From butterflies and birds to trees and flowers, each page is filled with stunning illustrations and thought-provoking insights that will inspire and guide readers on their spiritual journey.
What I particularly love about this book is the way it blends scientific knowledge with spiritual wisdom. The author's deep understanding of biology and ecology is evident throughout the book, but she also goes beyond the physical and delves into the symbolic meanings that these creatures hold in various cultures and belief systems. This creates a holistic approach that allows readers to connect with nature on both a physical and spiritual level.
One of the standout features of this book is the stunning artwork. Each page is beautifully illustrated with intricate and detailed drawings that capture the essence of each creature. The use of color and shading is particularly impressive, creating a sense of depth and texture that brings the illustrations to life.
Beyond the beautiful artwork, the book is also well-written and easy to follow. The author's explanations of the symbolism behind each creature are clear and concise, and the layout of the book is intuitive and easy to navigate. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of nature, making it easy to find the information you are looking for.
Overall, Nature's Hidden Oracles is a wonderful book that is sure to delight anyone with an interest in nature and spirituality. The combination of insightful wisdom and beautiful artwork make this book a true gem. If you're looking for a book that will help you connect with nature and deepen your spiritual practice, I highly recommend checking out Nature's Hidden Oracles by Liz Dean.https://angiestarot.com/2023/05/22/na...
