Tend the Soul
Walk the Land
Reclaim the Sacred

12/02/2026

What if subverting and unsettling sanitised Earth-woman archetypes is vital restorative healing for these times of rupture?

The reclamation of our sovereignty and the inhabitation of our full selves as they are, not as we are told they should be, is a rebellion against a culture that feeds on the innocence and malleability of youth, transforming that innocence into fuel for the machines of domination, misogyny, and hierarchy.

To allow ourselves to be reclaimed by the wild and mossy tendrils running through our own bodily soil would be a surrender into a beingness so profound that we may even lose the weighted, oily trappings of culture, and fall back into the arms of true belonging.

And so, a poem, of sorts;

Puff up my cheeks with springy moss;
Plump my lips with coconut-scented gorse.
Smooth my thighs with rough cat’s tongues;
Stain my skin with berry-blood.
Colour my hair with roots of red madder;
Pull back my eyes quickthorn; fish bladder!
Shave my teeth with bone and antler;
Drown me in old wells of winter.
Then weave my woes upon my face;
Lines of beauty wrought, in grace.
Adorn me in your coat of scars;
Mother hold me, hold me fast.
And let me rot the way I choose;
Unstuffed with chemical abuse.

If you’ve noticed how easy it is to feel disconnected from your inner guidance, or how often you feel unmoored from the vibrancy within you.

If you long to deepen your relationship with the land, with yourself, and with the inner flame of sovereignty.

Then join me for Mugwort - Moon Matriarch, an entirely self-paced online immersion into the medicine of mugwort, Artemisia vulgaris.

White Dead Nettle (Lamium album), is common sight in our hedgerows, with a bright and beautiful energy and a sweet kiss of nectar in her pretty white flowers.

Used in herbal medicine for her anti-inflammatory and astringent properties. Lamium can be also used topically to soothe skin irritations, insect bites, cuts, and minor burns. She is also used to promote urinary health and to treat heavy periods.

White Dead Nettle makes a delicious and soothing herbal infusion which can be used to alleviate symptoms of colds, coughs, and sore throats due to its mucilaginous nature, which can coat and soothe the throat.

The young leaves can be added raw to salads, providing a nutritious boost. They have a mild and slightly sweet flavour.

The leaves can be cooked and make a tasty soup, or they can be used like spinach in any dish which calls for cooked greens.

An infused oil of white dead nettle is soothing and aromatic and can be used topically to alleviate skin irritations or as a massage oil for sore muscles.

To make a quick oil infusion of white dead nettle simply add 1 cup of the fresh, chopped herb to a double boiler with 1 cup of carrier oil (olive, coconut, and almond are good choices). Heat gently for a few hours until the herbs have released their properties to the oil. Strain through a muslin cloth and store in a sealed glass jar in a cool dark place.

There are ways of being in this world that nourish life, and ways that feed upon it. To engage in energetic literacy is understand the difference.

As we start to look outwards and upwards once again, the wheel turns.

New life bursts forth renewed from darkness and exploration in the depths of the earth, as reflected within.

Remembering that we cannot see the possibilities from inside the box of oppression and hierarchy. In fact, hierarchy dictates we must climb to the top by stepping on our kin, and peer over the edge at the wonders only from a place of absolute knowledge and power.

Because the gilded box lies and tells us it is all there is. It tells us that remembering and dreaming of what is outside is unrealistic. But this false box itself is part of the inequity, part of the oppression, and therefore it can only reflect back the limits of its skewed perception.

To step outside is only a matter of stepping inside, stepping back to ourselves. At every turn of the wheel our senses heighten, giving us a greater sense of the greater sense, offering another chance to return and to remember.

A whole year (and a bit) of Poppet, the most emotional hound I’ve ever known.

Today, the remnants of these ancient practices still call to us, if we have ears and hearts to listen.

The plants, the rituals, the deep connection to the Earth are waiting to be remembered, reclaimed, and reconnected with.

We explore these practices, the history and demonisation of trance states, and much more in my 12-chapter journey with Mugwort as our guide.

Everything at the apothecary is 30% off until midnight tomorrow, including this course. The code is FROSTY
