    Herbal Magic for the Winter Solstice with Lynn Flanagan-Till and Lou Florez

    Today we have another cross-pollination episode for you with our friends over at the Radicle Curiosity podcast, Lou Florez and Lynn Flanagan-Till. Lou Florez (Awo Ifadunsin - he/they) is a diviner and metaphysical reader who facilitates spiritual connectivity and transformational empowerment throughout his myriad roles as a Priest, lecturer, author, medicine maker, and activist. His work is inherently interdisciplinary and intersectional—bridging the fields of herbalism, ecology, divination, poetry, psychology, religious studies, gender and sexual studies, mixed-media art, and perfumery. Lou investigates the emanating Spirit present within all these fields and incorporates them into experiences that activate the Spirit within. Lynn Flanagan-Till (she/they) is a Mother, Folk-Futurist Herbalist, generational Veštica (‘a skilled woman’) in Serb-Romani lineage, Olorisha, DIY ethnobotanist, botanical formulator and nature punk. Her work is deeply influenced by ancestral traditions and rematriation. Lynn has been a practicing herbalist in the Denver area for over 20 years and is devoted to serving spirit and community via plants. In this collaboration we have a round table conversation about herbs that we each feel a connection to the winter solstice. We share magic and history about rue, creosote, rosemary and osha. We offer practices for each one you can do at home to deepen your relationship and understanding. Find all four herbal practices on this nifty handout HERE!
