How to Use It: Bring a little countryside to your altar: a sprig of lavender, an apple, or a handful of wildflowers. Light a candle and take a few slow breaths, imagining a quiet country lane stretching ahead of you. Shuffle and ask, "Where do I belong right now?" Lay out three horizontal cards side by side like a landscape, and let your eyes wander across them before reading the book. Notice which places feel like home, and write down what they show you. 🌿

Sometimes the way home runs through an open field.
