    Nettle: Nourishment, Medicine & Mineral-Rich Support

    In this episode, we explore Nettle (Urtica dioica), a deeply nourishing, mineral-rich plant that I often return to again and again.

    Spagyrics as Practice with Mo Judith

    In this follow-up conversation with spagyricist Mo Judith, we shift from alchemical history into the substance of the work itself.We explore what defines a true spagyric preparation, how it differs from a conventional herbal extract, and what distinguishes the spagyric process on a chemical level. From mineral salts to extraction techniques, we discuss what is happening in the process, not just in theory.This episode offers a broad overview of how spagyrics are made, with particular attention to material processes rather than mysticism. Whether you’re an herbalist, student, or simply curious about the intersection of alchemy and chemistry, this conversation brings clarity to a subject often obscured by romantic language.While this episode can stand on its own, it builds on our earlier conversation, Alchemy as Animism with Mo Judith, where we explored the philosophical and historical foundations of alchemy.Bio:Raised closely to the natural world, Maureen (Mo) Judith was shaped by the quiet intelligence of plants, ecosystems, and wilderness from an early age into adulthood. She became a life-long student of nature, she began to study herbalism in her teenage years. She left the country at 18 years old in pursuit of traveling to broaden her understanding of life and those who inhabited this earth. Drawn not only to local ecologies but also the ways life expresses itself across the globe. She spent around 5 years traveling and hitchhiking around the world, seeking to learn from the earth and those who still spoke her language. Today she runs Aura La Voura, a project, laboratory and brand dedicated to alchemical herbalism and right relationship with the earth. Their work scratches the surface of a new kind of research– one that bridges wisdom and soul with modern science and chemistry. She donates a percentage of her profits to foundations dedicated to reforestation and coral rejuvenation.Connect with Mo Judith:https://www.auralavoura.comhttps://www.instagram.com/auralavouraWe appreciate every review.If you enjoyed this episode and want to learn more, follow Danielle at:www.instagram.com/rootandwandercollectivewww.rootandwandercollective.comFor questions about the episodes, please send an email to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

    Spring Equinox: Ritual, Folklore & the Return of the Sun

    The spring equinox marks a moment of balance, equal light and dark, and the subtle but undeniable return of the sun’s strength. Across cultures and centuries, this turning point has been honored with fire festivals, fertility rites, cleansing rituals, and the tending of early green medicines.In this episode, we explore the folklore and traditions surrounding the spring equinox, from the Persian New Year to agricultural and ancestral rites that mark renewal, reciprocity, and awakening. We’ll look at how communities historically understood this seasonal threshold, and what it meant to prepare both land and body for the growing months ahead.You’ll also learn herbal allies that support this transitional time, bitters for movement, nutritives for rebuilding, and gentle strategies for working with spring’s upward energy rather than pushing against it.Finally, I’ll share simple, grounded traditions you can try yourself. Bring in the renewal energy with these rituals that are rooted in ecology, not aesthetics.We appreciate every review.If you enjoyed this episode and want to learn more, follow Danielle at:www.instagram.com/rootandwandercollectivewww.rootandwandercollective.comFor questions about the episodes, please send an email to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

    Plant Communication: Listening, Permission & Reciprocity

    In this episode, we explore the many ways humans communicate with plants, from asking permission before harvest to sensing subtle shifts in the body, to dreams and intuitive knowing.Plant communication is often dismissed as mystical or “woo,” but relationship with the living world is something our ancestors understood deeply. Today, emerging research on plant signaling, bioelectricity, and environmental attunement offers a bridge between science and lived experience.In this conversation, I share some of my own experiences speaking with plants, along with stories submitted by listeners who have encountered the plants as teachers, guides, and companions.We explore: – What it means to ask permission before harvesting – How to begin listening if you’ve never tried – The science of plant signaling and energetic exchange – Why reciprocity matters in herbal practiceThis episode isn’t about proving anything. It’s about widening the lens. Whether your relationship with plants is practical, mystical, scientific, or somewhere in between, there is room here.When we begin to listen, the plants often respond.Thank you for our submitted stories:Nikki Pazdra @khemiaapothecaryAbigail Warner @fae.of.ilariaAmelia Andrade @darling_dandy_botanicalsFurther Reading & Research:Simard, S.

    Ecoherbalism & Plant Communication with Leah Larabell

    In this episode, I sit down with ecoherbalist and High Garden Tea cofounder Leah Larabell for a conversation that feels like a walk through the woods: grounded, honest, and quietly revolutionary. We talk about what it means to be in right relationship with the land, how plants communicate when we slow down enough to listen, and how herbalism becomes regenerative when it’s rooted in reciprocity, not extraction.Leah shares her vision of ecoherbalism, not as a trend, but as a return to an older, wiser way of knowing. Along the way, we explore grief, hope, soil, story, and the small sacred acts that reconnect us to the living world. This episode is a love letter to the earth, a call to remembrance, and a balm for those who wonder how to stay hopeful in heavy times.Connect with Leah:www.highgardentea.cominstagram.com/highgardenteaBio:Leah Larabell is a two-decade trained and teaching clinical-level herbalist, and the creator of High Garden Tea. A passionate conservationist and forever student of the land, Leah's work centers on ecoherbalism, a name she calls "a new term for an old way." Her approach is rooted in land-based herbalism, focusing on regenerative, reciprocal relationships with plants as part of their ecosystems. She is a forever student of the land and eternally grateful for the teachings of the many elders who walked the plant path before her and shared it, so we may all know the plants as the healers that they are.  We appreciate every review.If you enjoyed this episode and want to learn more, follow Danielle at:www.instagram.com/rootandwandercollectivewww.rootandwandercollective.comFor questions about the episodes, please send an email to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
