Herbs of the Ones who Walk the Hedge
Ah, the Hedge Walker, the Hedge Witch, the Hag of the periphery,
the one who lives along the edge, who is in kinship with the plants,
the healing verdant ones & continues this intimate deepening throughout their lives.
Who are some of the plant allies this liminal space holder calls upon & what are some traditional magics, folk medicines, story, song, recipes these beings hold? What do we discover ourselves with the guidance of the plants who reside here?
We will delve with three herbs each class, share in herbal teas of many of these beings as well as create magically & herbally together each class.
