    42 At the Gate of the Year
    2026/05/03
    I was on the road last week when I recorded this episode. I was hoping to post this on Friday May 1st, but I couldn't make it happen. So it's a few days late and that's okay, because we've arrived at the great Celtic gate — Beltane, the fire festival that opens the light half of the year. May 1st, with the sun newly in Taurus, Uranus freshly in Gemini, and the hawthorn just beginning to bloom, I will walk you through the old threshold of the year and the gentle rituals that carry us across it. In this episode, we explore: Beltane as one of the two great doorways of the Celtic year (with Samhain as its mirror)The old bonfire tradition of the Bel-tene — the bright fire — and what it means for us nowHow the daily rhythms of April ripen into the rituals of BeltaneHawthorn as the Beltane tree and the plant of the heart's thresholdRed Clover as a Venus plant, a Taurus herb, and a gentle ally for women in midlife crossingsThe Sun in Taurus, the First Quarter Moon, and the historic ingress of Uranus into GeminiThe Scottish and Irish May Dew ritual — how women on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh greeted May morning for centuries, and how you can practice this old blessing yourselfThe kinship between the May Dew, Bach Flower Remedies, and modern moon water — all descending from the same ancient intuition Source acknowledgment: Thank you to Scarlett McQuillan of Linked Magazine for her lovely piece on the Celtic May Dew ritual at Arthur's Seat, which reminded me of this beautiful tradition.

  • 41 Creating Seasonal Rhythms: Herbs & the New Moon in Aries

    41 Creating Seasonal Rhythms: Herbs & the New Moon in Aries
    2026/04/19
    "For those of us navigating intensity — planetary, personal, or simply the wild energy of early spring — they offer exactly what Aries fire sometimes forgets to give itself: steadiness, and release." The New Moon in Aries arrived on April 17th — and just the day before, the Sun and Chiron came together in a rare and potent alignment called a cazimi. If this past week felt tender, intense, or quietly transformative, you're not imagining things. In this episode, we sit with the energy of this threshold moment and explore what it means to create small, seasonal rhythms that ground us in the turning of the year. We'll talk about the difference between a routine and a rhythm, a gentle New Moon practice to try this week, and two herbs that have been my constant companions through this fiery Aries season — Wood Betony and Blue Vervain — and why they may be exactly what your nervous system is asking for right now. 🌿 Herbs & Favorite Tools (affiliate links — thank you for supporting this work) Herbs featured in this Show: 1.

  • 40 Fierce and Nourishing: What Nettles and Dandelion Teach Us About Strength

    40 Fierce and Nourishing: What Nettles and Dandelion Teach Us About Strength
    2026/04/12
    "Dandelion is the plant that will not be erased. Every attempt to remove her simply disperses her further — her seeds carried on the wind, landing in new places, beginning again." April is a season of fire and contradiction — warm one afternoon, cold the next, full of urgency and uncertainty in equal measure. In this episode, we settle into the waning moon energy of mid-April and turn to two of spring's most fierce and nourishing plant allies for guidance. We explore stinging nettle — why this week may be the most important harvest window of the entire year, how to find her, how to use her, and what she offers the adrenal-weary body in Aries season. We also spend time with dandelion leaf and flower in their spring expression — bright, bitter, solar, and deeply cleansing after the long heaviness of winter. Along the way we touch on the Aries stellium and what it means to tend yourself in a season that wants to burn hot, the vitalist tradition of nourishing before launching, and a simple waning moon practice to carry you toward the New Moon on April 17th. This episode is for every woman who knows she needs to fill the well — and is finally ready to let the plants help her do it. 🌿 Herbs & Favorite Tools (affiliate links — thank you for supporting this work) Herbs featured in this Show: 1.
