Pick your potion đź”®

it’s high summer here in Massachusetts- the garden is overflowing & every new day brings a full rush of wild & weedy plants ready for harvest.

And as an herbalist, folk witch, and lover-of-the-land createix, I am busy bottling up this time of abundance in jars, tins, droppers, & more.

There are some revolving restocks happening in the apothecary as I work, so if a potion is calling to you, take a look in the digital shoppe as there are likely fresh batches waiting for you!

As an herbalist, small scale suburban homesteader, plant witch, earth based educator, ritual guide, and more, I grow a LOT of plants!

But would it surprise you that there are many I grow that aren’t “for me”?

Some are for the pollinators, some are for the birds, some are for the soil, some are for the ancestors, and many are simply because they belong here.

I believe that caring for a place is never only for someone else or exclusively for my own benefit. When we tend the web of life, we become part of the abundance it creates, and the work of reciprocity always finds its way back to us. 🌿

✨Garden party photo dump part two! ✨

You know, every time I host one of these gatherings, people thank me for creating community.

But I always reflect that gratitude right back.

Because I can open the gates, set the table, and extend the invitation—but community only exists because people also choose to show up.

It’s easy to stay home couch rotting, doom scrolling, & drowning in apathy. Our systems reward isolation & convenience by design; so I see your courage to lean in, to come alone, to trust strangers, and to make space in an already full life for something that nourishes rather than distracts.

You are the ones helping to weave the web- taking the tendrils and extending them through your spaces too, rippling the connection & devotion further.

The mothers, the maidens, the crones; the witches, the wizards, the fairies, the dragons…Thank you for saying yes. Thank you for choosing connection over convenience, presence over apathy, and community over isolation.

This is how we remember our aliveness ❤️

ps: a million thank yous to Jinx Aesthel / Jinx Aesthel for the captures & everyone else who shared their photos of joy with me!

Friends. There have been very few times in my life that I have been rendered nearly speechless; where no words known to me ever seem to adequately capture the dynamic complexities of being human & living this life. And somehow, even after 4 years of Garden Parties, I am here again.

To say that I am honored, humbled, enthralled, full, & grateful is an understatement. What began as a simple spark of an idea has now fully transformed into a truly awe-inspiring display of epic proportion.

The better world we’re desiring doesn’t live at some specific time or place destination. It lives in the now, and in our daily choices that provide the architecture.

It lives in 50 people choosing to arrive in a random back yard when they could stay home. It lives in sustained connections among new friends year over year. It lives in slices of homemade cake made to share. It lives in the wonderment of bees on a flower. It lives in “let us help clean up!”

Though I brewed the idea, I never execute it alone, & in true communal fashion- I had immense help! Endless thank you’s to my dear friends, family, Ancient Heart The Faerest Realm GRAIN REAPER BAKING CO 🖤💀 GOURMET DESSERTS Larissa A , Jinx Aesthel / Jinx Aesthel & more for your astounding contributions and immaculate vibes. 🙏🏼🤎

And for each of you who stopped by: I hope the day served its purpose; I hope you felt a sense of joy & lightness. I hope you felt the warmth of others like a quilt. I hope you felt a reprieve from the quick pace of life. I hope you met new friends, met new plants, and were able to just “be”, embracing the entirety of the magical beings that you are. It was my honor & pleasure to have you, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Community is the thread that tethers us all together. It has always been, and it will always be. Regardless of larger, louder narratives, we need each other. And we are here. 🤎

I got curious on the actual dictionary definition of “patriotism” this morning.

And while I don’t ascribe to basically any of it within the context of American colonialism and what this modern country was founded on, there are, perhaps, thematic threads I understand well— love, devotion, responsibility, & belonging.

If I look at “patriotism” from a lens oriented toward place, land, people, and collective liberation opposed to blind nationalism, then maybe it could be different.

Maybe I’m just trying to untangle these snarls in real time by speaking into an echo chamber of digital nonsense. Idk.

What I do know is that with every day my feet touch the ground and likely thereafter in this spiral of time, I remain committed to living a life of care over conquest, responsibility over pride, and being the biggest menace & pain in the arse I can be towards oppressive systems.

Some full moon inspiration for you 🌝

My email list got this story a month or so back, but this felt like an auspicious time to give it to the algorithm.

We often think changing the world requires a bigger platform, louder opinions, or grander gestures.

And while I know nothing for certain, my body & the land continue to show that the lives we embody ripple outward in ways we may or may not witness.

The world doesn’t need you to become someone else. It needs the fullest, most honest, weirdest, queerest, quirkiest, most devotional expression of who you already are.

So here is the reflection for this full moon (and every day, really):

✨What gifts are asking to be lived through you?✨
