SE 05 - EP 118 How to Worship the Earth When It’s Trying to Kill You – Part 2: Down Under with Julie Brett

How to Worship the Earth When It’s Trying to Kill You – Part 2: Down Under with Julie Brett --- In this delightfully grounded and slightly unhinged second part of our elemental series, the Three Witches and a Druid take a mental journey to the Southern Hemisphere to chat with Julie Brett — Druid, author, teacher, and all-around Earth-loving badass based in the wilds of Australia. All without leaving our favorite recording location... the fire pit in Druid Brian's yard!Julie helps us navigate what it really means to follow a nature-based spiritual path in a land where the rivers are sacred, the sun can scorch your soul, and the wildlife is actively trying to murder you.We explore:🌿 The unique topography of Australia and how it shapes ritual and seasonal practice.🔥 The devastating fires of recent years and what they’ve taught us about grief, renewal, and climate resilience.🌊 Sacred waters, drought, and the living memory of the land.🌪️ Cyclones, climate change, and the global Pagan experience of a shifting Wheel of the Year.🐍 And yes — snakes, spiders, and spiritual presence in the middle of it all.Julie also shares her experience on how modern Druidry can root itself meaningfully in the Australian landscape — with deep respect for Indigenous culture and Country.This episode is for anyone trying to stay spiritually grounded when the world feels like it’s on fire — literally or metaphorically.Julie BrettAuthor of Australian Druidry & Belonging to the EarthFounder of Druids Down UnderJewelry artist at Forest Spirit JewelryBased on Dharug and Gundungurra Country, Blue Mountains, NSWWebsite: juliebrett.netFacebook: Druids Down UnderInstagram: @juliebrett.druidAdapting seasonal practice to climate extremesRituals in crisis: how to show up spiritually when everything’s a messHonoring land spirits in different hemispheresWitchcraft, Druidry, and environmental collapse — where do we go from here?What does Earth-based spirituality look like in your corner of the world?
