Herbalism is definitely my thing. I use the knowledge daily with traditional medicine. I am an RN and I was crippled, using a cane last year to now working full-time again.
I love herbalism and working with herbs. I went from a bad plant mom to having a green thumb over the years. Every year there are so many to learn about the plants and trees around me 💚.
I’ve been using herbalism for almost a decade, and now incorporate it in my witchcraft practice. For medicinal purposes, the book The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies by Nicole Apelian, Ph.D & Claude Davis is a phenomenal book! It’s almost like a dictionary of plants, listed alphabetically but also in sections of if you can forage in your backyard, grow it, find it in the woodlands, desert, etc. It’s very thorough but concise, and it’s my favorite for healing and preventing. Has pictures and instructions on how to identify, forage, and process. For magickal properties, Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs by Scott Cunningham is really detailed and has most herbs and pictures in the book.
Fantastic! I for one, absolutely LOVE herbalism, gardening and what not. Fantastic info and I actually had the Rosemary Gladstar's book....so.... thanks for the sign I'm on the right path ;)
Love this pagan happy hour! You sold check out She Is Of The Woods here on TH-cam and/or Instagram! I was intimidated when I started getting interested in herbalism and she is so down to earth and makes it so easy to understand and follow 🙌🏼
Another great resource that I got fro Epic Gardening, love him btw lol, is Nature's Always Right. I also love the Old Farmer's Almanac and Harris' Farmer's Almanac. Tractor Supply has a great variety of books to learn from such The Herbalist's Bible- John Parkinson's Lost Classic-82 Herbs and Their Medicinal Uses by Julie Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal
The town in the uk that she mentioned at around the 40 minute mark that's useing communal spaces to grow edibles is Todmorden in Yorkshire; and the initiative is called "Incredible Edible" for those that are interested...
My local town also does a similar thing. Totnes in Devon has a community with strong interest in green/eco living and there are planets throughout the town filled with herbs and veg 😊
Stupid question... while everyone else was discussing the pronunciation of "herb" I'm sitting here wondering when people started pronouncing the L in salve??
Just a small correction when it comes to hunter-gatherers. It's a common misconception that women gathered and men hunted. In most h-g societies both men and women do both activities almost equally. Same with caring for children. Adult men hunt more often, but they will take children with them, both boys and girls to teach them how to hunt and fish. All the while the women stay with the small children because they need breastfeeding and the elders help them (yes, old men look after babies all day, they hardly ever hunt). So yes, hunter gatherers don't divide up tasks according to gender but rather energy levels. And obviously every single tribe is going to do things a little differently, including who does which task.
Green witchcraft is also stones, dirt, wood, roots, birds, wild creatures, feathers, dew, saps, cacti, sand, shells, bones.... Not just plants.

Heads up, the link for Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs book is the same as Paige Vanderbeck's Green Witchcraft.
Oh wow! It's great to know that you recommended both bealtine cottage and danu's irish herb garden, absolutely wise and lovely ladies 💜💜
I love herbalism I’m totally here for this and would loooove a video about wand crafting.
I'd love to hear what you have to say about wands, staffs, and wizards vs witches.
Drinking water, party on.
Excellent topic! Thank you!💚

I would grow some citronella the grass type. Helps with mosquitos.
Also, Michael Moore is the father of herbalism if you are looking to make medicine definitely follow his instructions.
