Just your local neighborhood witch
Homegrown, soil-sourced magic.
Everyday alchemy.
Just a girl in her gardens. I started with only 2 and some curiosity. I now have 21 and a full-on love for dirt, bugs, learning and experimenting–using and preserving what I grow–canning, dehydrating, bulb and seed saving. While modern medicine is still my go-to for mental and physical necessities, I still strongly believe that there is a lot of space in between, and as someone with skin issues, severe allergies, and mental and physical disabilities, I've spent a long time trying to find things that help, rather than exacerbate everyday symptoms.

I'm not here for "wellness" trends or cure-alls. I believe modern medicine and alchemy overlap. I believe Science doesn't care about your feelings-vaccines work and are safe, essential oils don't cure disease, your body knows how to detoxify itself–anyone telling you otherwise is a charlatan. However, I also believe that plants hold power–gentle, healing, deadly– and that using them correctly can provide a lot of benefits to bridge that gap.
My Philosophy We gotta know what's gonna actually help us, come societal collapse and all that, ha! So, welcome to exploring the historical, magical and beneficial uses of everyday plants with me, while I also try and find shelf-stable, functional, limited-ingredient ways to clean, cut down on corporate consumption and encourage healthy ecosystem practices in my own backyard! Sometimes you just have to make your own magic.
