In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I welcome author, witch, educator, and biological scientist Sian Sibley for a fascinating conversation on plant spirits, pagan ecology, animism, geomancy, and ethical magical practice. We explore what it means to truly treat plants, stones, incense, trees, and the land itself as living beings in relationship with us — and why that changes how we practice magic.

This conversation also dives into “doubt devils,” discernment in divination, ecological responsibility, and the powerful idea that plants can, of course, say no to us, at times.
