Episode 225 - Invasive Plants in Witchcraft with Kamden Cornell
Today I'm joined by Kamden Cornell to chat about their newest book: The Tameless Path: Unleashing the Power of Invasive Plants in Witchcraft. There's so much you can do with the "weeds" in your area, don't dismiss them! They're so useful in your witchcraft practice. We also chat about classes, sourcing items, making oils and potions, and more!
Find Kamden:
Website: Heart & Vine Apothecary
Instagram: @heart_n_vine_apothecary
Book: https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/thetamelesspath
An apothecarist and wortcunner, Kamden S. Cornell has an avid love for plants of all kinds. As a bioregional animist and folk witch, they specialize in using the plants around them for their herbal and magical craft. As a non-binary, gay, queer, the outsider perspective is important to them and they are deeply drawn to invasive species, which have been much maligned and persecuted. That working relationship spurred the creation of The Tameless Path: Unleashing the Power of Invasive Plants in Witchcraft.
Kamden also teaches classes on foraging, survival, and field herbalism in the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, NM, as well as classes on tarot, alchemy, and witchcraft practices. They own a small, witchcraft-based business called Heart &Vine Apothecary that focuses on herbal remedies and ritual goods. They are the author of two self-published works- Ars Granorum: The Six Seed Arts of Witchcraft and On Needles and Pins: A Witches’ Book of Poppetry and Figure Magic. They are also a regular columnist for Noumenia News, the periodical publication released by The Covenant of Hekate.
