What if some of the most feared and misunderstood plants have extraordinary stories to tell us about our own power?

In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, I'm joined by Kaz Goodweather from Seed Sistas, co-author of Witches' Forbidden Herbs, to explore the fascinating world of belladonna, henbane, datura and mandrake.

We uncover the connections between witching herbs, ancient healing traditions and the historical suppression of women's knowledge. We also venture into the folklore of flying ointments, broomsticks, sacred sexuality and reclaiming pleasure without shame.

Kaz shares her personal experiences of working with these plants, including how belladonna helped her reclaim her energy, and why developing a relationship with the natural world can be such a powerful magickal practice.

We also explore the importance of slowing down, trusting our instincts and paying attention to the plants growing right on our doorstep.

This is a conversation about reconnecting with nature, questioning inherited beliefs and embracing our own wild, intuitive and unapologetically magickal selves.
