The mighty oak, a tree of immense wisdom and strength; guardian, healer, portal; living library of ancient knowledge. His roots run deep into the earth, drawing up stories and secrets held within the land, while his heavy, lofty branches reach skywards, bridging the gap between the seen and unseen.

In herbalism, oak bark is a powerful ally, rich in tannins that staunch bleeding and heal wounds, both physical and spiritual. The acorns, though bitter, are a hidden treasure when properly prepared, providing nourishment in times of need. To sit beneath an oak is to be held by the spirit of resilience and endurance. Oak teaches us to stand firm in our truth, no matter the storm we must weather.

The oak’s leaves offer guidance to those who have ears to listen, reminding us of the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth, offering wisdom and insight. Each twist of his gnarled trunk tells tales of ages past, of those who once gathered under the shade of the branches. The oak invites us to reconnect, to honour our roots, and to find strength in our own journey in all its richness.

The strangely beautiful spindle berry (Euonymus europaeus) has some fascinating folklore attached to it, and was said to be linked with witchcraft and otherworldly powers.

The spindle berries themselves were believed to be poisonous not just in the physical sense (which they are for humans), but also spiritually. Some say that eating spindle berries could allow sight into the spirit world or communication with the dead, but the price was steep, and could result in madness or death.

The spindle has long been known as a “watcher” tree. It was dangerous to cut down a spindle tree or damage it in any way, as this might anger the spirits, bringing bad luck or even a curse upon the person who caused harm.

Despite these somewhat dark associations, spindle wood was also valued for its practical uses in crafting, especially in creating spindles for spinning, which gave it a strange duality of being both feared and revered.

These experiences are accessible to all, they are our birthright as humans of this Earth, but so many have forgotten. If you are a little lost and would like some gentle guidance on your path I will gladly guide you. I will introduce you to simple practices which can help you connect, remember, and rewild, making sacred the spaces both inside and outside.

Doors are open for my short course, Elemental Thresholds - an online course which aims to reestablish your natural connections and help you remember who you are. See Wild Folk Apothecary, links or highlights for details.

Blessings from the hedgerows.

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has opened many doors for me in my practice, and in my body, in my visions, and in my understanding of my place here on this earth.

I am very proud to say that some of my words in this video have also been published in a book about Mugwort, translated into Dutch. Find it at

Is the call to remember stirring in your bones, calling from the hedgerows, whispering through the ether?

I have gathered many offerings in my apothecary made with Mugwort, foraged by my own hands, in deep reverence and respect.

Find oils, balms, infusions, smokesticks, essences, tinctures, and a 12-week immersive course for those ready to walk with her more deeply.

I’ve written extensively about Mugwort’s magic, medicine, and ability to reconnect humans with natural law in my upcoming book, The Wild Becoming. Details of pre-order should be available soon, get on my mailing list if you want to know more and stay informed.

If the songs you are singing did not bubble directly from the earth, the stones, the sea, the sky, from the roots who lie embedded in the energies of the living earth: from the rivers who flow like the blood in your veins, then they are something else’s songs, singing something else’s dreams, making something else’s visions your reality.

What are we harvesting now? How will we take that harvest in with reverence, knowing everything must remain in balance for natural law to flourish in its true form.

I found this wisened beauty half way up a mountain clinging to inhospitable ground. All the other hawthorns in the valley were in fruit, but this being had none. I sat with her for some time, and as hawthorn often does I felt an opening to a well of grief within me which flowed and cleansed and connected me in body and spirit to this land.

The land and the plant beings feel grief too, at what is being done to us all by the forces of empire and destruction. It is in our coming together as beings of nature that will see an end to these extractive practices of domination.

The power of nature will always overcome.

Come home. It’s nice here.

There is a comfort in being comfortable as a being of Nature.

Having the discernment to know what may be seeking embodiment and consciousness through you is vital for humans navigating the world at this time.

Your consciousness and your embodiment are sacred, they are yours, but they also belong, in perpetuity, to the Great Everything.

Act accordingly.
