My 2021 Favourite Spiritual Reads

January 21, 2022

"a reader lives a thousand lives before she dies"

There’s one thing in life I find the most magic in, always, and that is soaking up other people’s weaving with words. Language is a powerful tool and even though it cannot always properly describe the spiritual experiences and sensations we have in this life, it IS an amazing creative passage to express our (hidden) thoughts, share knowledge and inspire others with our soul’s messages.
I have found books one of the most accessible as well as the most deep tools there is for the sacred rebellion that is our empowerment journey – blame it on my English degree, but there is nothing quite like diving into another world or learning about something new on a page in the safety of your own home, with a candle and a cup of tea nearby. The way back home to your inner knowing often starts with recognising parts of your own voice in other people’s. 

I didn’t do as much reading as I would’ve liked to last year (to be honest, this often happens!), but nonetheless there have been a few titles that have shifted things within me, kept me entertained throughout Summer and/or gave me a sense of confirmation on my path. The list below is my top 5 of spiritually minded books of 2021 – and do let me know in a comment below what your fave reads of the past year were! 

Plus… scroll on to read about what’s currently on my ‘to read’ list! 

1. A Spell in the Wild - Alice Tarbuck

From the way in which I can just tell this book has been meticulously researched, to the language on accessibility and equity, to the musings on witch history and the magic in the mundane… I feel like Alice wrote this book especially for me!

Following the months of the year and the seasonal changes that come with that, Alice brings you on a enchanting journey through her own rituals as well as European magic throughout the centuries. A beautiful coming home for someone who lives close to the lands that the described traditions originate from.

10/10, will read again this year!

2. Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home by Toko-pa Turner

5C1806D9-2592-4047-8445-98A0705DB452

Because of social media, it may feel like we’re more connected than ever – but true, deep, heartfelt connection to oneself and one’s community often feels like a thing of the past. In this immersive work, Toko-pa brings us on a journey back to where it all began: holding each other in community, finding connection in the land and nurturing oneself in simple but deep ways.ย 

I read this book at the start of 2021 and the title truly inspired me in my choice of my word of the year! To find belonging in your environment and in yourself is the true journey of life, in my opinion, and this book serves as a beautiful reminder of that.ย 

8/10, get ready for pages filled with lots of wisdom! I sometimes had to put it down because there was just so much to take in at once.

3. Your Spiritual Almanac by Joey Hulin

This book came to me as I started writing my own book proposal. I followed an amazing course on it in the month of September which was intense and expansive at the same time – and the Spiritual Almanac was mentioned during one of the workshops. It turned out Joey had followed the same course a year prior and had landed a book deal because of it! I immediately order the Almanac, not just because of its contents but because of what it represented to me and my book dream!

This book will serve as deep inspiration for monthly rituals, guidance and recipes for a spiritually minded year. The suggestions are not tied to a particular year so it makes a great gift to yourself or someone else for any occasion. Especially great for someone who is starting out with spirituality or want to deepen their practice with practical rituals!

8/10, such a great work that I continue to dive into month after month!

6F1E361A-B914-420C-A4EA-88295CC51A5C

4. The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin

IMG_2626

A work of fiction which I think I finished in record speed! Easy to read but incredibly well written, Rachel invites you into the world of teenage witchcraft, (bisexual) love and coming of age in the most dreamy (but rough) surroundings.

I especially loved how Rachel brought in the four elements, the seasons and witchy symbolism, whilst also making it a contemporary work with inclusive storylines.
If I’m not mistaken she’s bringing out another witchy read this year, and I cannot wait!

8/10, couldn’t put it down! Definitely more towards the young adult genre, keep that in mind!

5. Diana, Herself: An Allegory of Awakening by Martha Beck

You know what, I wasn’t sure about this one when I started it! It’s a work of fiction and describes the spiritual journey of awakening the main character Diana finds herself on. It felt a little cheesy and predictable at first but after a couple of chapters, I got so hooked I just needed to know how it ended.

Not my ultimate favourite in the end, but it does contain some beautiful symbolism and deeper meanings, serving as a beautiful reminder that we’re all inherently spiritual – and that our soul is here to guide us and keep us safe.

7/10, great if you’re wanting a break from non-fiction spiritual stuff but want to keep feeling inspired!

What I'm looking forward to reading in 2022...

You never know what books will find your way across a whole year, but! I do have a few piled up already.ย 

1. Root & Ritual by Becca Piastrelli, who I got the opportunity to interview for my podcast (launching next week!). A beautifully illustrated book about belonging, ritual, recipe and finding your way back home to your wild and grounded Self.

2. Call of the Wild by Kimberly Ann Johnson, which I started in December on the train on my way to see a friend and couldn’t put it down. I want to carve out some conscious time to dive into it again, because the first chapters already surprised me so deeply with how it included so much on the nervous system and holistic healing. If I’m honest, I thought it was ‘just another’ empowerment book, but the first pages already held newer and exciting information for me and that feels promising!

& I have accumulated a few books on minimalism in the past few months, as well as others on creativity, healing the mother wound and more. I’ll keep you posted!ย 

In the mean time, let me know in a comment below what some of your fave reads of 2021 were and what you’re looking forward to tucking into in 2022 (or what you’re currently reading and enjoying!). I’d love to hear from you!

pin for later…

I didn't know life could feel like this... โ 
โ 
In the past few months, an internal shift has taken place. โ 
โœจ I feel abundant, regardless of how much money is in the bank. โ 
โœจ I feel spacious, even though I literally moved into a tiny house together with my partner. โ 
โœจ I feel connected to our community, even though all the offerings inside my heart aren't out into the world yet (coming soon!) and I've been more offline than ever. โ 
โ 
Somethings clicked into place, and I thank all the inner work of the past 6+ years for it. โ 
โ 
It's not so much the external changes that have provided this shift. I could still be knee deep into self doubt or scarcity, no matter the situation. It's not that. โ 
โ 
It's that I'm finally embodying where my mindset was - or wanted to be -  all along. My nervous system can relax within all the change and open-mindedness of my current work & life situation. I feel confident about where I'm headed. I feel safe, secure and loved from within. โ 
โ 
Whew, I am so grateful for that. โ 
And I wish the exact same for you. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโ 
โ 
Is your heart craving this embodied and empowered change this year? Is 2023 the year you're going to put yourself first, dive deep into your inner world and come out the other side trusting your intuition, feeling happy and confident? โ 
โ 
Allow me to support you on this journey. Check the link in bio or my stories for the link to book your 30 minute discovery call - I'm opening up two spaces to work with me 1:1 for the next 6 or 12 months. So, if the idea of having an intuitive mentor cheering you on and supporting you through the highs and lows of your journey, get yourself a discovery call with me *no strings attached* and let's see how I can support you this year! โ 
โ 
It would be an honour to hold space for you x ๐Ÿงกโ

2022 - you've been so good to me! ๐Ÿงกโ 
โ 
With the first ever retreat, the move to the tiny house, and all of its lessons and blessings in between, I've absolutely loved this year. โ 
โ 
And I can feel that it's time to integrate these experiences even deeper in the time to come. โ 
I'll be taking a bit of a break in posting regularly and creating, because I feel like there is so much that wants to be shared and offered that I need to sit with that first. โ 
โ 
From January onwards you can check out all the details for the July retreat I'll be hosting with @drsarahcoxon & when I'll be back it'll be with an incredible community-based virtual experience too. I can feel it brewing. It just needs beautiful, luscious and indulgent time, patience and tending. โ 
โ 
I'll see you very soon & for now, have a wonderful end to 2022 and a magical start to 2023. โœจ So much love for you, sister x

A word of the year can be a great anchor to reinspire your intentions through the 12 months. โ 
โ 
But that can also feel like a lot of pressure on just 1 simple word! โ 
โ 
So what if the process has less to do with 'choosing' the 'perfect' one and more about calling in what feels most supportive for the direction you'd like to take this year? โ 
โ 
I always get a lot of questions about choosing a word of the year around this time, especially because I've made it our tradition to record a yearly podcast on it (which is now up!). But I can hardly ever give you a good answer on the process of choosing it because to me, it's not really a choice. The word comes to me, usually a few weeks or even months before the previous year closes, and I dance with it for a bit before my heart will anchor on it. โ 
โ 
It's an intuitive process in collaboration with the Universe. โ 
So my invitation for you if you're craving to settle on a word for the new year, is to plant a seed with the energy around you to show you some options. Stay open to words, sentences, and energy flowing your way after you've done that. And see what feels exciting, expansive, supportive and maybe a little terrifying to anchor down your new year! โ 
โ 
Check out the latest episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast to hear me talk about my process with last year's word and my new 2023 addition. I also include journal prompts and a card pull to help you feel supported during this ritualistic time! โ 
โ 
What's your 2023 word? (or tell me your 2022 word and how it served you!)

Check out the latest episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast to hear me talk about my process with last year's word and my new 2023 addition. I also include journal prompts and a card pull to help you feel supported during this ritualistic time! โ 
โ 
What's your 2023 word? (or tell me your 2022 word and how it served you!)
A word of the year can be a great anchor to reinspire your intentions through the 12 months. โ 
โ 
But that can also feel like a lot of pressure on just 1 simple word! โ 
โ 
So what if the process has less to do with 'choosing' the 'perfect' one and more about calling in what feels most supportive for the direction you'd like to take this year? โ 
โ 
I always get a lot of questions about choosing a word of the year around this time, especially because I've made it our tradition to record a yearly podcast on it (which is now up!). But I can hardly ever give you a good answer on the process of choosing it because to me, it's not really a choice. The word comes to me, usually a few weeks or even months before the previous year closes, and I dance with it for a bit before my heart will anchor on it. โ 
โ 
It's an intuitive process in collaboration with the Universe. โ 
So my invitation for you if you're craving to settle on a word for the new year, is to plant a seed with the energy around you to show you some options. Stay open to words, sentences, and energy flowing your way after you've done that. And see what feels exciting, expansive, supportive and maybe a little terrifying to anchor down your new year! โ

Let's make a self care list together...! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโ 
โ 
In a mentoring call the other week my client expressed how sometimes she felt overwhelmed when she had time to herself. Even in her down time, she felt the pressure to be productive and 'make the most of it'. โ 
โ 
Gah... can't we all relate?! ๐Ÿ˜žโ 
โ 
During the session, I invited her to create a list of 5 things that made her heart feel good. Things such as journaling, reading, and guided meditations. And then we created a practice around how she could enjoy these things without feeling like there was a right or wrong way to do so, and instead, invited her to focus on what felt good & what expanded her heart in that moment. โ 
We journeyed back to what felt pretty damn good, without there needing to be expectation or pressure. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผโ 
โ 
This is hard work. Deep work. Healing work. ๐Ÿงกโ 
It sounds so simple, but sometimes reading a book without being distracted or creating a nr.-of-pages-goal is the most rebellious thing you can do for your empowerment journey. ๐Ÿ”ฅโ 
โ 
If you have a list (or would like to create one), let me know what nourishes your heart! And if you'd like to receive tools and space to release the pressure around your self care and empowerment journey, maybe 1:1 mentorship is the one for you. DM me for more details ! x
