In this episode, Charlotte weaves together the story of alchemy and her journey to revive the folk medicine of her lineage. Her ancestors were apothecarists for many generations before being persecuted for their knowledge; a tradition that Charlotte has lovingly reclaimed.Although her lifelong interest in making medicines brought her to many different cultures around the world, it was in returning to the British Isles and rooting into her own heritage that she found her deepest calling.She passionately describes connecting to the consciousness of plants as a gateway to the ancestors, and how making medicines is an ancient alchemical process with a long history in the lands we now call England, and especially in Glastonbury. She also discusses how she came to tend wells and waterways in the city of London, and reminds us that everyone can work with the sacred waters, even in urban environments.

Drawing from Taino cosmology and her European roots, Yaya speaks about her arrival to Río Cósmico and how being in relationship with this land has informed her practices that ranges from how she mothers to how she runs her business.   Together, we delve into the moral challenges of quantifying resources exchanged between people and land and how we can balance these effects with regenerative practices. Those practices begin with our own bodies.  We talk about the effects of dopamine and adrenaline on productivity and the need to be mindful of the balance between effort and reward. We also share insights into embracing symptoms as communication from our bodies that we can use as a compass to point us towards alignment.    Resources:Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline MyssIn My Language YouTube Video Yaya Erin Rivera is a multicultural folk medicine practitioner, artist and mother specialising in sacred plant medicines for empowered navigation of the Earthwalk Initiation.

Medical herbs have been used for eons. Some now see it as outdated and others swear and even rely on the power of healing herbs. Wherever you sit on this scale there's no denying that some plants, especially herbs have properties that can aid in the all-round treatment of ailments and injuries. Many of the common herbs that we use for flavours in teas and food have medicinal qualities that many of us aren't aware of. Herbal medicine is used worldwide and forms part of many systems of medicine including Chinese, Ayurvedic aka Indian, Native American, Folk Medicine across Europe and Indigenous Australian. Many of our common pharmaceuticals started their life as plants before becoming the primarily synthetic versions we have today. Medicinal herbs can be taken as tea, extracts and powders. They can be made into compresses, poultices, ointments, soaks and wraps. Some are for external use only and others need to be used in minimal quantities. I wanted to share with you 8 common and easy to grow herbs with medicinal properties. It's likely you already grow a few of these versatile beauties.**DISCLAIMER** I am not herbalist or medical professional. The information in this podcast is purely to get you thinking about options.

In this conversation, I talk with Nicola Goodall about the importance of midwives in the birthing process for mothers, and the ways that Scottish folk medicine weaves into the ancient tradition of midwifery. Nicola shares her wealth of wisdom about the sacredness of birthing, and ways to support this important rite of passage for mothers. She also shares wisdom about the persecution of midwives during the Witch Hunts and the ways that these atrocities have impacted women's medicine. Last but not least, we have a discussion about the importance of mothers being nourished and supported, especially in these times of overwhelm and isolation.

[paypal-donation] In our next conversation we will talk about alternative medicine, faith healing, and even what has been referred to as magic.  Are there similarities between people like Julie Rowe and early Mormon practices like seer stones?  Dr. Jonathan Stapley compares the similarities! https://youtu.be/aHcWX36ycAA Jonathan:  In the face of pharmacological a failure or a clinical failure in medicine, Mormons have been open to a blessing from a priesthood officer or an authorized healer, whether they're male or female throughout our history. So, we're open to the miraculous. Now, Latter-day Saints, also have been open to other aspects of supernatural cures. So, whether it's a botanical cure or a special prayer.  In the 20th century, these impulses—so the cunning folk that is no longer battling witches, but instead a botanic healer is manifest in society complementary to alternative medicines. So, Mormons are not in any way holding a monopoly, a complementary and alternative medicines. You can go to the bookshelves of your favorites on Whole Foods Market that's frequented by the liberal elite, and you can hang out with evangelicals and the south and they are both doing similar things in this area of complementary and alternative medicine. When faced with a challenge, humans want hope.  They find hope in people offering these alternative cures. Now in Mormonism, we have really interesting relationships with these, alternative cures. Sometimes it's strictly botanical, but sometimes, for example, there was a popular healer, Julie Rowe, who was part of this Christ-centered energy healing movement.  The Church has spoken out against a little bit recently in the past several years, but there are individuals that function again on the peripheries of society that are willing to provide hope to those that need it. And I won't say that Julie Rowe has. You can trace her lineage through successive waves of cunning folk thought to the present. I don't think that that's necessarily true, although there are remarkable parallels between energy healing and magnetism that was popularized in the 19th century. I don't think there's a direct lineal descent from the cunning women to Julie Rowe, but I do think that they serve a similar function in society and by understanding one contextualizes the other. Check out our previous conversations on women and temple healers, as well as this conversation…. Jonathan Stapley compares early Mormon healings and seers to current alternative and folk medicine with people like Julie Rowe. [paypal-donation]

Pow Wow Medicine, the Root Medicine and Conjuring of the Pennsylvania Dutch, is a combination of Eastern European folk Christianity and superstition, ceremonial magic, Cabbalistic influence, Judeo-Christian folklore. And depending on what part of the Appalachian Trail you are from it may also include, shamanic practices, Native teachings and Hoodoo practices derived from the beliefs of Africans brought to the U.S. during the time of slavery. The word Pow Wow is early 17th century: from Narragansett powáw ‘magician' (literally ‘he dreams') The proper name is Speilwork or Braucherei. Adepts are called Braucher, Hexenmeisters, or just Hexens. It is Norse/Teutonic Pagan Folk Medicine. This calls upon the Old Germanic God's for healing. This is the Folk Medicine that Pow Wow Medicine is derived from. I am looking forward to talking about traditions I have not heard about before and how they are similar and related to other traditions I have learned from.
