March 2023 Free Learning
I love learning. I love workshops and classes and books and documentaries. I love learning things I didn’t know before. I also am pretty hermit-like and the internet is where I do most people-y things. This month is crazy busy with opportunities for learning and all of them have a free option (I’m a frugal…

Resource Review: Herb Magic In Ireland
The Irish Pagan School is a very interesting spot – I’ve done a number of their free courses, follow the YouTube channel, the Facebook group etc. It’s a very worthwhile follow – they share a lot of great information. I also follow Tara Tine’s YouTube channel. Really fun and interesting stuff all around. When the…

It’s one of my favorite times of year. First – you cannot beat fall weather. Where I am, it isn’t going to feel much like fall this weekend, but you can’t fault a warm snap too much. I’m going to take the warmth to harvest my first ever marshmallow root. I say marshmallow and I’ll…

Learning is a Life Long Process

Book Review: The Healing Garden by Juliet Blankespoor
This is not a witchy book but a planty book so I’m not running it on my normal Tuesday. I have more than enough of those books to review – I’ve read an awful lot over the last 30 years or so. This is a different kind of book and I am so very glad…

Beginning With Plants
When I was a little girl, my mother could grow anything – at least it seemed that way. She was never without a garden because there were times when her garden was the difference between surviving and thriving – even if you did get a little tired of zucchini everything after a while. I was…

Plants and Herbs
Herbalism has been part of my life in some fashion for all of it. Or most of it. My late mother was what I might now call a home herbalist, as much out of necessity as anything as we didn’t have health insurance when I was a kid. It was just how we did things.…
