    Episode 59: Create your Magical Herbal Apothecary with Emily Morrison

    Episode 59: Create your Magical Herbal Apothecary with Emily Morrison

    I chatted with Emily Morrison, of Wise Women Witchery, for her podcast the Witch Next Door.  We came together to talk about my upcoming class "Making Your Own Magical Herbal Apothecary" for the 4th Annual Season of the Witch Virtual Conference October 6th and 7th. But, in our usual style, we meandered through nourishing topics from herbal jar spell, plant communication, moving beyond the fear of herbs, importance of community, and more.

    Episode 58: Rethinking Invasive Species

    Episode 58: Rethinking Invasive Species

    I'm growing more and more uneasy about using these kinds of word: "invasive", and "alien invaders" when referring to plants. It indicates that these plants are somehow not natural. I explore this topic in this episode.

    Episode 55: Decolonizing Botanical Anishinaabe Teachings with guest Wendy Makoons Geniusz

    In this episode I speak with author Wendy Makoons Geniusz about Anishinaabe botanical knowledge in terms of how colonization affects the Anishinaabeg botanical teachings. Makoons provides examples of how colonizers usurp indigenous botanical knowledge to continue to fuel their imperialistic efforts, even to current times. Also, learn about efforts currently taking place of indigenous people reclaiming botanical knowledge.
