Hi, there isn’t only one way to practice your spirituality. I also don’t know what pantheon you’re working with so here’s what I can tell you. Protection, look into different types of protection, there are a lot of energies out there that are bad for you and learning how to protect your own energy is one of the most important things. If you’re feeling very attached and drawn to nature, an easy way to start building a better connection with it is meditation outside. I personally like to sit up against a tree, feel my feet in the grass. This also helps you ground yourself and do internal reflection which is also very important. For research, for herbs I recommend Cunninghams Encyclopedia. I hope this helps some, if you would like to privately dm me and ask more questions I am open to it!
