On this week’s episode of the ‘cast, Court and Shaun are discussing herbal magick! Plants are our allies in both improving our health and improving our magick, and bring their own properties and lore to our witchy work. We’re tackling the topic with a breakdown of the archetype of the “Green Witch,” some historical context and folklore surrounding herbal magick, baneful plants and creating your own magickal herb garden. Herbal Magick is for everyone, whether you live in the woods, near the ocean or in a city - you can find plant magick in all of these places, from the secrets of the trees, to the weeds that grow between sidewalk cracks, and even in the sandy grasses at the shore. Herbal Magick is a way for us to intentionally connect with the nature that lives all around us and that which lives within ourselves, too.
