We’re closing out the season with something truly special.
In this final episode of The Natural Animal for 2025, I’m joined by bestselling illustrator, author and gardener Jessica Roux — the creative force behind the Woodland Wardens oracle deck, Floriography, and a whole world of nature-inspired art that celebrates the wisdom of animals and plants.
Jessica’s work feels like a love letter to the natural world. Her illustrations are rich with symbolism, story, and spirit — inviting us to see animals not just as beings, but as messengers.
This conversation is soft, soulful, and deeply rooted in reverence — for creativity, intuition, and the magic of the wild. We cover:
The inspiration behind the Woodland Wardens oracle deck
How animals and plants guide Jessica’s creative process
The link between intuitive art and animal connection
The symbolism woven into her animal–plant pairings
How she balances soulful creativity with the practical side of being an artist
What it means to honour animals as sacred beings through illustration
Gentle ways to reconnect with nature and tune into animal wisdom
Whether you’re an animal lover, a card reader, a creative — or all of the above — this is a beautiful note to end the season on.
