S9 Ep 2 The Magic of Nettle and Rowan Folklore, Healing, and Mystery

Welcome to this weeks episode of the My Slice of Life podcast where, for this season, we are diving into the folklore of trees and plants. This week we are talking about stinging nettle and the rowan tree. From witches, fairies, guiding lost hikers, to healing the sick, amongst other things, these plants have some fascinating folklore!   I did have a couple of technical glitches for some reason, so if you are listening to this (as opposed to watching on YouTube), at the 57second mark I’m actually saying ‘prepping’ and at 7mins 50secs, I say ‘chervil’ but it sounds like ‘kervil’!   DON'T FORGET I STILL NEED YOUR PARANORMAL STORIES FOR A FUTURE SEASON - GET IN TOUCH USING THE CONTACT DETAILS BELOW   Sites related to this topic:   Nettle soup recipe: https://mysliceoflife.co.uk/2023/06/05/nettle-soup/   https://thecreativecottage.net/the-nine-herbs-charm/   https://www.icysedgwick.com/   Ruth Binney book 'Plant Lore and Legend': https://amzn.to/4i7uxYD   Join the Joy Bunny Clan - follow, subscribe, like - whatever you have to do to make sure you don't miss an episode!    check out the blog: https://myslicemyblog.co.uk   Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mysliceoflifepod   YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@myslicechannel   Really want to support me?
