Ritual Herbalism Podcast

Welcome back to Ritual Herbalism—a podcast exploring the sacred threads of plant medicine, ancestral memory, and the ways we return to ourselves through earth-centered ritual.In this episode, “The Space Between: Yule and the Twelve Omen Days,” we enter the deep heart of winter and the ancient traditions that shape this season between years. The Winter Solstice, or Yule, marks the longest night and the quiet rebirth of the sun, a turning point long honored by our ancestors as the beginning of a sacred season rather than a single night of celebration.Yule opens the door, but it is the days that follow that carry the magic forward.Beginning on December twenty-fifth, the Twelve Days unfold as an extension of the solstice blessing. These are the days when time grows thin, when the year is neither old nor new, and when reflection becomes its own kind of ritual. Across cultures, they were understood as a passageway between worlds—a liminal corridor where insight arises, intuition sharpens, and the shape of the coming year quietly begins to form.In this episode, we explore the folklore of the Twelve Days, their history in Ireland and Italy, the herbal allies associated with this season, and a guided Twelve-Day ritual practice to help you welcome the year with intention and clarity.This is a slow, reflective journey. Brew your tea. Light a candle. Let yourself linger in the space between.Episode Themes:Yule, liminality & the wisdom of the omen days. We exlpore The origins of the Twelve Days. In the world before electric lights and digital calendars, people lived by the rhythms of the sun and moon. The discrepancy between the lunar and solar year left days unmoored—time belonging to neither cycle. Across Europe, these became the Twelve Nights or Twelve Days between the years, viewed as enchanted, prophetic, and spiritually potent.The Omen Days: Listening to the Months AheadThe Twelve Days were known as the omen days because each one was believed to reflect a month of the year to come. People watched the weather, dreams, emotions, animal encounters, and unexpected signs, understanding each day as a mirror held up to the future.In this same spirit, this episode offers a Twelve-Day herbal ritual practice. Each day is paired with a month, a theme, a plant ally, and a journaling prompt to support deep listening.You may begin on December twenty-fifth, or whenever you feel called to step into the space in-between.Ritual InvitationWe invite you to walk the Twelve Days with us.

Welcome back to Ritual Herbalism—a podcast exploring the sacred threads of plant medicine, ancestral memory, and the ways we return to ourselves through earth-centered ritual.In this episode, “Flower Power: Modern Herbalism & The Return of Plant Wisdom,” we’re joined by special guest Ilana Sobo, herbalist and founder of the Flower Power Project. Together, we travel through time, back to the revolutionary bloom of the 1960s and forward into the present moment, where the spirit of Flower Power is rising again with renewed force.This is a conversation about plants as teachers, ritual as remembrance, and the cycles, astrological and earthly, that return us to the wisdom of the living world.Brew your tea. Open your heart. Let the plants speak.Episode Themes: Flower Power, cultural cycles & the rising herbal renaissanceWe begin by returning to the roots of the 1960s Flower Power movement, a time when beauty became activism, when flowers were symbols of peace, and when gardens became places of community, imagination, and ecological hope.This was not simply an aesthetic.It was a cultural remembering.A remembering of earth.A remembering of relational living.A remembering that plants hold intelligence, magic, and medicine beyond the clinical.Today, that remembering is resurfacing. And Ilana’s work with the Flower Power Project carries this lineage forward—bridging ritual herbalism with contemporary needs for connection, healing, and collective transformation.Astrology & The Cycles That ReturnThe cultural revolutions of the 1960s emerged during the Uranus–Pluto conjunction, a time of rupture, awakening, and deep transformation.Uranus disrupts. Pluto reforms. Together, they catalyze.We now live through the square of that same cycle:a moment of pressure, friction, and evolutionary demand. The resurgence of herbalism, ritual work, ecological awareness, and collective questioning mirrors this astrological climate. These are not isolated trends. They are expressions of a cycle returning, a call to re-root into the living world.Ritual InvitationA grounding ritual shared in this episode:Take a slow walk and allow your body to move without destination. Notice which tree draws your attention. Stand with it. Place your hands against its trunk and feel the steadiness held there. Root your feet into the earth beneath you. Offer the tree what you are holding. Receive the quiet strength that rises through its roots. Let this moment serve as a reminder to turn inward and listen to what is deep and true within you.Learn with UsFor those who feel called to understand plants through the lens of astrology, the full Astro Herbalism Course is now available as a self-paced online program. This offering brings together planetary correspondences, energetic patterns, and the larger cosmic cycles that shape our work with the green world.

Welcome back to Ritual Herbalism—a podcast exploring the sacred threads of plant medicine, ancestral memory, and the ways we find our way back to wholeness through ritual.In this special edition episode, “Herbs for the Ancestors: A Samhain Journey,” we gather at the threshold of the year, where harvest ends and winter begins, when the veil thins and the ancestors draw near.Samhain is a liminal time, both an ending and a beginning. It calls us to remember, to root, and to listen. Across cultures and generations, this season has been honored as a portal between the worlds, a time to reconnect with those who came before us and to walk the green path of remembrance.In this episode, we reflect on the roots of Samhain, explore ancestral traditions from around the world, and walk with plant allies that help us bridge seen and unseen realms.This is a slow, sacred journey. Brew some tea. Light a candle. Let yourself be guided.Episode Themes: Samhain, ancestral memory & ritual plant alliesWe explore:* The ancient roots of Samhain:Once known as “summer’s end,” Samhain marked the Celtic New Year—a firelit turning point between seasons, when the veil between worlds grew thin and the ancestors returned home.* Cross-cultural reflections:From Día de los Muertos in Mexico to La Festa dei Morti in southern Italy, the spirit of Samhain echoes globally: memory is medicine, death is a return, not an end.* The legacy of the Green Witch:Through persecution and forgetting, the herbalists, witches, and wise ones carried the flame of remembrance. Every Samhain candle, every herb gathered, is part of that legacy.Plant Allies of the veil: Herbs for ancestral connection & protectionThese herbs guide us gently through the thinning veil. They cleanse, protect, and open the heart to ancestral wisdom.* Sage (Salvia officinalis): A purifier and protector. Clears stagnant energy, supports clarity, and teaches that all endings are transformations. Whispers: “All that you lose is only changing form.”* Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris): Herb of dreams and vision. Opens intuitive pathways, invites ancestral dreams, and connects us to the liminal. Murmurs: “Dream, and remember.”* Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus): An herb of the heart and memory. Strengthens resolve, protects the spirit, and honors the dead. Speaks: “Remember who you are, and those who came before.”* Elder (Sambucus nigra): Tree of the threshold. Strengthens immunity and spirit connection. Held as a guardian between life and death. Says: “Death is not the end, but a doorway.”* Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa): A shadow guide. Supports transformation, releases ancestral pain, and calms the nervous system. Whispers: “The shadow is your teacher.”* Angelica (Angelica archangelica): A radiant protector. Brings divine guidance, restores vitality, and reminds us we are not alone. Sings: “You are guided. You are held.”Ritual InvitationBring these herbs into your practice with intention:* Burn sage and rosemary before ritual to clear space and open your heart* Drink mugwort and elderflower tea before dreamwork or meditation* Anoint with angelica or black cohosh essence during grief rituals or when calling in ancestral support* Place rosemary on your altar as a symbol of remembranceEach herb is a doorway, each ritual a return.Learn with UsIf this Samhain journey resonates, you’re already walking the path of ritual herbalism.Our Green Witch Online Course is now open for registration, a guided journey into plant spirit connection, ancestral remembrance, and the sacred rhythms of the seasons.

Welcome back to Ritual Herbalism—a podcast exploring the sacred threads of plant medicine, ancestral memory, and the ways we find our way back to wholeness through ritual.In this episode, “Eclipse Season, Virgo Discernment, and Pisces Surrender,” we are stepping into eclipse season, a time when the Sun, Moon, and lunar nodes align to open doorways of change. This particular season unfolds along the Pisces/Virgo axis, asking us to hold both devotion and discernment. Pisces dissolves boundaries, reminding us of our deep connection to mystery, spirit, and the collective dream. Virgo calls us back to the body, to ritual, to daily care, and to the humble tasks that keep us grounded. Together they invite balance—surrender without losing center, structure without losing soul.Eclipses quicken what is already ripening. They can stir the nervous system, amplify emotion, and bring to the surface what we’ve been avoiding. For herbalists, this is not a time to push with strong protocols or force outcomes. Instead we lean into plants that soothe, steady, and anchor us as the tides turn.Episode Themes: Eclipse Medicine, Ritual & Calming the BodyWe explore:* Nervous system soothers: Linden, Skullcap, and Milky Oat for softening tension and replenishing frayed spirit* Heart-centered allies: Hawthorn and Rose for courage, tenderness, and meeting change with an open heart* Virgo’s gift of digestion: Chamomile and Marshmallow root to ease eclipse anxiety and bring gentleness to the body* Pisces’ realm of dream and spirit: Mugwort and Blue Lotus to support intuition, meditation, and grounding dreamwork* Grounding roots & mushrooms: Ashwagandha and Reishi for resilience, slow strength, and graceful adaptation* Ritual practices for balance: A Linden bath with sea salt, Rose and Chamomile tea before sleep, and journaling what you’re ready to release and tendRitual InvitationCreate a simple practice for this eclipse season:* Draw a bath with Linden and sea salt to honor Pisces’ waters while grounding in Virgo’s earth* Brew a cup of Rose and Chamomile tea, sip slowly, and speak an intention before sleep* Journal with devotion: What am I willing to release? (Pisces) and What am I ready to tend? (Virgo)Learn with UsThis episode flows into the heart of As Above, So Below, our four-week immersion into astro herbalism. We will study the origins of celestial medicine, the sacred elements and directions, the planetary rulers of herbs, the twelve zodiac signs with their bodily correspondences, and the twelve astrological houses where life unfolds.You’ll receive a beautifully designed booklet, weekly lessons, and practices that weave the sky directly into your apothecary.If you have felt stirred by this eclipse season, you are already listening.

Welcome back to Ritual Herbalism, a podcast exploring the sacred threads of plant medicine, ancestral memory, and the ways we find our way back to wholeness through ritual.In this episode, “Music as Medicine, Ritual as Resistance” with Leah Song of Rising Appalachia, we journey into the heart of community resilience after Hurricane Helene shook the Appalachian mountains. In the wreckage, what arose was not only the spirit of service, but the power of song, the tenderness of ritual, and the steady presence of plants.Together, we’ll remember how healing comes in unexpected forms: in a voice lifted, in altars of stone and blossom, in garlands of marigolds arriving just in time for Día de los Muertos. We’ll speak with Leah about music as medicine, the sacred act of altar-tending, and how ritual itself becomes an act of resistance in times of collapse.Through story, spirit, and song, we invite you to tune in, breathe deeply, and remember the ancient ways that carry us through storm into renewal.This is Ritual Herbalism. And you’re right on time.Episode Themes: Music, Ritual & Community HealingWe explore:* The aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the role of community care* Music as medicine: voice as grounding, prayer, and protest* The quiet altars—grief, memory, and ancestral ways of tending the land* Plants as messengers: blossoms, herbs, and marigolds as carriers of devotion* Ritual as resistance: how prayer and presence become essential in collapse* Seeds of wisdom for grief, resilience, and collective healingRitual InvitationCreate a simple altar today. A stone from your walk, a flower from your garden, a few drops of water, a whispered name of a beloved. Place something there that means something to you—grief, gratitude, a seed, a prayer.
