S5E11 Feeling Lost? Ancient Rituals to Help You Find Answers Without Psychedelics | Katharine Hargreaves
Have you ever wanted to experience spiritual growth from psychedelics but don’t actually want to trip? Are you stuck at a crossroads in life and not sure which path you’re meant to take? Meet the woman who connects you with specific rituals you can do in nature to find your deepest answers without ever having to take Ayahuasca. Katherine Hargreaves is a practitioner of West African divination, an ancient method of translation that helps people tap into information, messages, and ancestors on the other side by reconnecting us with the elements of nature. As you complete the rituals you're assigned (whether that’s throwing milk and honey into the ocean with a prayer, or screaming your anger into a hole in the woods to give it back to the earth), you quiet your mind, clear your physical channel, and are able to hear the guidance of your soul, your ancestors, and the spirits of the earth. HERE’S THE JUICE: - The wild ritual that Olivia did on a mountainside to help her get clarity on her career - How rituals prepare us to receive messages and transformation in the years after - Chronological vs deep time and why we can’t expect things to happen on our timelines - How to incorporate elements into rituals for specific purposes (like ocean water, honey, dirt, etc.) - How to complete a honey ritual if you’re looking for a new place to live - How Katharine got initiated into the closed practice of West African shamanic tradition - The idea that nature can be JUST as powerful as psychedelics - Exactly how to start noticing nature speaking to you - Easy, tangible ways to work with your ancestors, like creating an altar - The importance of asking for guidance out loud – to nature and your ancestors - How to know if divination work is right for you in this moment Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements.
