How to get on good terms with the local spirits

From my experience… so it’s pretty plant-focused.

• Pick up trash.
• Give some water to the plants occasionally, especially during hot and dry days.
• Flatter them. If you think a plant is really pretty, you can just say it out loud and they will love it.
• Pay attention to which areas are off-limits and avoid them. Try to feel if you get bad vibes in a certain place and stay out of them so you don’t piss off the locals.
• Give in return for whatever you take. Even if you’re just weeding, pour out some water or leave coins.
• Reduce waste. Whatever you don’t use, give back to the land. You can make a compost pile, or toss scraps of plants into the yard so they can decompose and bring new life.
• Don’t mow your lawn, if it’s possible for you to avoid it. If you have to, give a warning beforehand, or make an offering in apology to the plants.
