ep. #4
Marysia Miernowska teaches herbalism through the Gaia School of Healing and regenerative land practices in California. She is the master herbalist and owner of Wild Love Apothecary and was named one of the "top 15 witches on Instagram" (@marysia_miernowska). As an herbalist, witch, biodynamic gardener, and Plant Spirit Medicine Practitioner, she is rooted in the Wise Woman Tradition of Healing. Marysia teaches and speaks at conferences internationally on herbal medicine, plant shamanism, regenerative farming practices, and Earth Magick.
Marysia has been busy over the past year - she released her book, The Witch's Herbal Apothecary in January 2020. I have the book and find it is a rich resource for recipes, rituals, and guidance in reconnecting with the power and healing of Earth Magick.
Marysia has also recently launched an amazing face serum, made from completely organic ingredients. You can find more info on that at Rituel.com or Rituel on Instagram.
Spring is approaching and Marysia has a sweet write up about wildcrafting or harvesting from the wild. Click here to check that out on her blog. Marysia also has a post on her blog about the Wise Women Tradition of healing (click here) and recommends further reading with The Chalice and the Blade by Raine Eisler.
Highlights from this episode:
Impacts of disconnection from and extraction of the earth

How to honor your teachers
The Wise Woman Tradition of Healing
Where to find sources of unconditional love
Heart-opening, nervine relaxant herbs and teas

If you enjoy this episode, I can't recommend Marysia's book highly enough. It dives into all of this so much more deeply and weaves in so much more!
