Here we are a few days past the vernal equinox & the rebirth of the sun! As such, we also stand on the threshold of April’s Candlelight Coven box!

I could think of no better collection to welcome, celebrate, & amplify this dawning time than highlighting one of the cheeriest herbs out there- box- Lemon Balm! This beloved botanical is SO much more versatile than many are led to believe, and one that should be a mainstay in apothecaries, tea cabinets, and home pantries alike.

Whether you’re a seasoned herbalist, a local forest/garden wanderer & forager, or just herb-curious, this delightfully fragrant friend is a plant to know!

This box includes an 8 page monograph zine packed full of herbalism, folklore, and a DIY seasonal sun tea craft, the materials necessary for the included craft, 1 oz dried lemon balm, and an exclusive Lemon Balm Luck Spell Jar- filled with the herb, crystals, & a blessing.

This convenient & inclusive learn-herbalism box will be heading out to your doorstep on April 1st for coven members, so if you want to join in, let me know & we’ll get you on the path to learning about herbs for health, magick, and more! 🌿

The day has finally come!

After literal months of basically everything being sold out in the apothecary, I have stocked the digital shelves FULL!

This was a monumental feat, to be honest. Over the past couple weeks I’ve poured hundreds of candles, I’ve bottled hundreds of oils and elixirs and essences...and I even snuck in a few NEW things too ☺️ Medicinal & magickal plant potions a plenty for your viewing & feeling pleasure!

Take a swipe through to see, and be sure to wander the digital apothecary shelves. As always, should you decide to call something home, my unending gratitude goes with it.

I am very much looking forward to where Gate & Garden takes us this year, but for now, we welcome the equinox of rebirth with blessings and a wild heart ❤️🌱✨

I am a keeper of the old craft

blood borne from holy wells
bones of Yggdrasil roots

I have eaten the white snake of communion
my eyes have met the jaguar king’s

by tending bloom and decay and return
I know the emerald ancients’ names

the golden thread of fate weaves through my loom
in the light of blacksmith bellows

I’ve crossed the realm of poison
on the back of a hoodie crow

picked up by the giantess
I’ve traded crow feathers for fox skins

so I follow the whispers of the wood
to a dark cottage of gingerbread

where words will spill from my lips like enchantment
and the torch of my heart keep it all alive

For the heart tenders 🥀

Along with a truly ginormous restock of all of your Gate & Garden apothecary favorites, there is another new plant potion offering you’ll find among the digital shelves!

An elixir of decadence & devotion, Ancient Heart is crafted with softening and opening herbs to awaken ancient remembrance and tend the beating pulse in our chests.

Rich cacao anchors the blend in presence and wisdom, while rose & syrupy strawberry invite tenderness. A bridge of hawthorn berries connects to a finishing warmth of cinnamon, stoking the internal fire.

Where Maleficarum is the sharpened blade of scale balancing for those who oppress, Ancient Heart is the syrupy, necessary soul tender on the other side. Originally crafted just for the February Coven Boxes, this elixir called out to go farther.

Find both of these handcrafted, small batch potions for ritual & wild wellness in the digital apothecary this Saturday, 3/21 for the Ostara Shop Update!

Heyyyy wellness, witchy, & spiritual teachers and practitioners…we need to talk.

There’s something nefarious afoot that, while hardly a new issue, is seemingly moving closer & closer to the communities and people I directly serve and love so I gotta say it.

Especially because I really want to believe that most of us in this field are genuine and maybe some of just got a little too lost in the oppressive system programming sauce.

Some of you are using words you barely know the meaning of in lived practice.
“trauma informed”
“safe container”
“nervous system regulated”
“right relationship”

These words CAN reflect deep practice. And also sometimes they’re simply sh*tty marketing tactics.

The most powerful teachers & space holders I’ve ever known never tried to convince me they were the right person to learn from. They didn’t rely on tiktokified therapy language to prove their integrity. Rather, they gave me tools to trust my own discernment.

That’s the lineage of teaching I try to uphold.

I’m not here to convince anyone to lean into the offerings I craft. I’d rather pour my energy into creating them to offer depth that the right people can feel the integrity for themselves.

And if I ever stray from that, check me and hold me accountable just like I’m doing now. And in the mean time, a gentle invitation to revisit your true ‘why’ if you’re finding this post sticky. I know it’s in there 🖤

Introducing MALEFICARUM

A new forthcoming solely magickal formulae from Gate & Garden 💫

From the comfortability in powerful magick being both healing and hexing, this fierce and unflinching baneful ritual oil was born.

Infused with an iron nail, chili, datura pods, and other guarded ingredients, this oil is for the left handed witch who is comfortable balancing the scales.

With fire in the blood & iron in the hand, Maleficarum is a potent & powerful tool for the magick wielders that are bold and unapologetic in their ferocity of ritual when done in the name of integrity & justice.

This herbalist-witch crafted potion embodies the reclamation of the dangerous & wild wood hag and the deliberate turning of the tides long tilted by oppression.

Find Maleficarum in the digital apothecary shelves on 3/21 OR early and in person at the Ostara Ritual on 3/20!

To the loud and primal
Free and feral

to the mystics and healers
Poets and poisoners

To the Aphrodite lovers and Athena battle scarred.
Oracles and valkyries and weavers of the world

To the sacred soft hearts and sword wielding warriors.
To mothers, the maidens, and the crones.

May you be blessed, may you be honored, may you be brave, may you be loved, and may you move with the audacity, ferocity, and courage of infinity.

Happy International Women’s Day

Small business ownership requires those who lean in to wear may hats & costumes…Luckily I’ve had just the life for that! 🤣

Take a trip with me down memory lane to see the soul of this little witchy apothecary business 🖤

Never in a million years could I have even imagined this is what my life would look like, but when I look at these photos of myself, I see so many hints of my becoming in hindsight. And little me would think current me is so fu***ng rad, tbh.

So here’s to wild dreams and wilder adventures, keeping whimsy and teenage angst alive, always being the full expression of yourself even when the world doesn’t agree, and doing it all with the devotion of a thousand suns.

POV: you found Earthwoven, a literal New England based coven & now your seasons look like doing magick and eating snacks with powerful women in a fairy garden.

Frolicking barefoot in the woods & gardens, crafting totems, learning tarot, cackling unapologetically with friends, & remembering that magick feels best when shared.

That’s the heart of Earthwoven! Seasonal sabbat gatherings where witches and curious folk come together to craft, move, and root back into the earth.

Wanna join the coven? 😉 The first ritual of this year is on 3/20! Let me know if you want to come and we’ll get you RSVP’d!

I actually can’t believe we’re already at the point in the year where I can start posting calendar updates!? But…here we are and March is bringing some cool things!

Firstly, this weekend I have the astute honor of presenting for my first ever conference! I am overjoyed to be bringing my passion and ancestry to on Friday the 6th at noon! While the entire conference is packed full of incredible & knowledge presenters & topics spanning all things dark herbalism and plant magick, I specially will be discussing Hexenwald: poison plants in black forest folk magick!

Then, on the 20th, helps welcome a new year of the Earthwoven sabbat based community rituals by offering her magick for Ostara. Together with crystals, music, art, candles, and more, we’ll make meditation kits to carry our spring intentions forward. Tickets for that are limited & can be found in my bio.

And a couple days later…the first apothecary shop update of the year! I have been working on a gigantic restock of pretty much everything, from elixirs to oils, candles, and beyond. ANDDDD there will even be a few *new* planty potions in there too! Stay tuned for the previews of those (you can swipe for a lil sneak peek though hehe) ☺️

Despite the snow on the ground, the robins have returned and the equinox is right around the corner. We made it! May this rebirth bring seasonal fire to your hearts to carry like a torch through the year ❤️
