    Full Show Notes at TheRestlessWitch.com

    This is a re-release of a previous Patreon-Exclusive from a couple years ago!

    In this episode, we'll chat about quite a few topics related to cannabis. All the way from the more scientific and 'mundane' side in the muggle/nerd segment,  to the spiritual and very magical side in the spiritual segment.

    And then we have our recurring segments. In the coven corner, I answer two messages sent in from you guys, and then in podcast community I'll talk to you about some more harry potter podcasts, and of course my favourite canna-centric podcasts.

    You can submit more questions for the coven corner, or request a tarot reading, or a custom crocheted item either through my blog’s ask box, or email me at therestlesswitch@gmail.com

    All the links mentioned in the show are below, including a great page from some of my favourite herbalists. Have a magical 420!

    Ep. 12 - Foraging Tarot Spread, Concept to Cards

    Ep. 12 - Foraging Tarot Spread, Concept to Cards

    In this short episode, I talk through coming up the card placements for this month's Patreon tarot spread. It's  early spring, which means it's Spring ephemeral time! Spring ephemerals bring out a LOT of foragers, new and experienced alike. And with the huge spike in popularity this year, it got me thinking about responsible foraging and how we might apply the same lessons to our own lives.

    Minisode - In the Bleak Midwinter

    Minisode - In the Bleak Midwinter

    In the Bleak Midwinter, based on the poem A Christmas Carol by Christina Rosetti, composed by Gustav Holst, lyrics adapted by Laura Deal Raeder. 



    In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind makes moan.

    Earth stands hard as iron, water like a stone.

    Snow has fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow.

    In the bleak midwinter, it is ever so.



    Darkness now surrounds us as the nights grow long,

    Yet we fill the night time with our hopeful song.

    Winter’s cold won’t reach us here, where we light our fire,

    As we burn the old year on its funeral pyre.



    Now the new year beckons, even in this night.

    Soon the days will lengthen, and our hearts grow light.

    Hope will grow within us as we look ahead,

    And we see that spring wakes out of winter’s bed.



    Light will follow darkness, as the earth turns round,

    Sunlight follows moonlight, thawing frozen ground.

    So our lives renew with every dawning day,

    And with every new year, blue skies follow gray.
