In the Intro: I share an ancestral story  How I define spirituality The food your bones are made from Herbal body oils & elderberry elixir In the Interview: Being the the daughter of a secret witch + becoming a botanical bruja years after the mother passed and the chance to learn from her was gone Racism, secrecy, lineage, and cultural evolution Following the breadcrumbs to get a bigger picture of who your people were (there are more holes than solid information in all of our lineages) Letting your silvers shine Locating yourself within the myths of your ancestors Being empowered to heal yourself Listening to the understory- amplifying the voices of people of color within the worlds of herbalism, spirituality, and the creative arts Comida es Medicina Most magic is mundane When women's knowing and/or calling out injustice are labeled "irrational" What white folks are learning/dismantling right now Links: Lola's website  Lola's Branch + Bone Medicine Show podcast Kitkitdizzi in Nevada City Lola's Instagram Medicine Stories Patreon The Mythic Medicinals online herb shop Mythic Medicine on Instagram The Medicine Stories Facebook group Take our fun quiz Which Healing Herb Matches Your Energy?
