Hedgerow Histories: Ancient Survival Codes & Diverse Tales

Welcome to a space where the natural world and the written word intertwine. Inspired by Ancient Survival Codes in Botanical Folklore Strange Tales and Tiny Books: A Literary Guide, this podcast explores the enchanting intersection of botanical history, cultural folklore, and diverse literature. Each episode dives into the healing traditions and ancient myths of our hedgerows—focusing on the spellbinding work of author and illustrator Fez Inkwright (Folk Magic and Healing)—while honoring the "old wives' tales" that carried essential survival knowledge through generations. We also celebrate the therapeutic power of storytelling by reviewing a curated selection of short-form books (under 220 pages), spanning feminist retellings, graphic novels, and queer narratives. Tune in to rediscover your spiritual connection to the Earth, advocate for ecological conservation, and unearth the magic hidden within illustrated treasuries and ethnobotanical research.#BotanicalFolklore #FezInkwright #FolkMagic #Ethnobotany #OldWivesTales #SurvivalKnowledge #ShortReads #FeministRetellings #QueerLiterature #GraphicNovels #EcologicalConservation #NatureStorytelling #IllustratedTreasuries #LiteraryGuide
