111: In the Witching Garden with Varla Ventura

Step beyond the botanical beauty where roots twist with ritual and petals hide peculiar power. In this fragrant & colorful episode, Jeni Monroe and Tressa Slater welcome the ever-curious Varla Ventura—writer, traveler, and devoted collector of the world’s weirdest wonders. Together, they dig into enchanted flora, eerie folklore, and the deliciously dark side of nature, from corpse-scented blossoms to the magical plants lurking in fairy tales. Expect strange history, uncanny encounters, and just enough chills to make you glance at your window after midnight.In the Witching Garden - Monsters Lounge PodcastVarla Ventura's site: https://www.varlaventura.net/Find all Monsters Lounge info and links here:https://www.monstersloungepodcast.com/https://linktr.ee/monsterslounge(and while you're there, RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW)Pathways to Spirit with Sarah LemosIt's time to uncover your gifts and abilities.register now at https://www.mediumsarahlemos.com/-Credit and a warm thank you to Jay Juliano for original theme music: Enter The Monster's Lounge-Special thanks to Dave Schrader and The Paranormal 60 Network
