Toll shares the story of her journey to becoming what Forbes called “a real-life Professor Sprout from Harry Potter” and founder of the Herbiary stores. From her early years as a seeker yearning for a life filled with magic, to her apprenticeship in Ireland with an acclaimed herbalist and healer, Toll's colorful account reveals how her relentless search for magic led her to live the life of her dreams. About Letting Magic In From Maia Toll, the best-selling author of the Wild Wisdom series and The Night School, comes the enchanted story of her own magical awakening, a journey from Brooklyn to Ireland that will inspire readers to uncover their own inner magic. What is the word for craving a relationship with the earth, plants, rocks, and stars? What do you call someone who finds their spirit sparked by these relationships; whose concept of the sacred is altered by the scent of jasmine in bloom or the deep indigo of a sky awaiting nightfall? We're taught that doctors know our bodies and priests know our souls. But what if you're a person seeking to understand both for yourself without an intermediary? What is the word for these feelings and the person we become when we honor them? For writer Maia Toll, that word is magic. Magic points to something intrinsic to, and necessary for, the wholeness of the human spirit. It's a marker for the gnawing craving for a connection which includes, but also stretches beyond, the human realm. The exploration of this word was part of her search for both personal empowerment and a sense of cosmic connectedness, the yin and yang of our lives. In Letting Magic In Maia shares the story of her own magical becoming—from the untimely death of a friend that leads her to abandon Brooklyn in favor of the small town of Beacon, NY, to taking a yearlong sabbatical of exploration, and finally to Ireland, where she studied under an herbalist and learned the true magic of listening to the earth itself. more: getthefunkoutshow.kuci.org

Are you a boomer who hopes to celebrate your true and authentic self and find the magic in life no matter how many years roll by? If so… you'll want to be sure to take a listen to what our guest, Maia Toll, has to say. Maia is the best-selling author of The Wild Wisdom series, including The Illustrated Herbiary, and The Night School. Her insights into magic took off in Ireland where she spent time with a traditional healer, studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psycho-spiritual aspects of healing. In her just released book, Letting Magic In, she shares her remarkable journey and Maia joins us to tell all about it.  If you care about making the most of the magic in your own golden years, you'll want to make sure you catch this show!

In this most compelling interview episode with award winning author, Maia Toll, discussed are the following juicy topics: Why the sticky moments of life are spiritual practice very much worth going forward through. Specific ways the body can lead us to both the mythical and the mystical. Why paying attention to the pre-verbal and non-verbal information is equally important. How language is one of the oldest metaphysical tools. Tips to become a writer. Concrete ways to use writing simply as a spiritual practice. Show Notes: Mysticism is all about connection and being able to sense beyond your own skin. Mysticism is the ability to feel in and to feel out. Part of the mystical and spiritual journey is to go through sticky moments. People might want to retract. Yet if it's sticky, you are already there and so you might as well go forward because you have to go the same amount of distance back as forward. How the body can lead us to mythical and mystical.  There are many more avenues in your body that are taking in info. all of the time and we don't have words to translate into these avenues that we are used to. Pay attention to pre-verbal and non-verbal information around us. The body offers us sensations: flash headache, hands shaking, nauseous & ringing in ears.  Be a detective and investigate the body's sensations, don't be a dictator. Concept of the wider self vs. vertical self.   The power of the body as a GPS into the mystical world. Concrete brilliant brainstorm.  Notice energy leaks along with literal injuries. Language is one of oldest and most metaphysical tools. If you can name someone or something, you have power over it. Language is something that pulls ideas from the invisible to the visible and concrete. Language is an incredible tool. Language does have power. A spell is pulling something from the ethers and giving it substance with intention. Words are vibration, and vibration holds power and energy. When we craft and hone with words, then things become manifest. Words are identifiers and have resonance.  Unpacked is how Maia changed her name and a conversation around the potential power around changing one's name. How claiming a new name formally or less formally can activate a certain part of yourself.  Tips for becoming a writer and or for implementing writing as a spiritual practice. How Maia worked with the notion of death when studying to be a priestess is Ireland and the questions to allow yourself to ask. Why not skipping the death & decay cycle in the growth process is crucial.  Fantastic closing practice and “homework.”   Guest: Maia Toll https://maiatoll.com/ ✨HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!:  The doors for the Modern Mystic Membership are now open!

Jesse Fiedor became a Christian in 1977, on a forty-four year-journey from near death to such a miraculous life. He wrote this book, Angels from Heaven, to encourage anyone that may be disabled or someone that just might want to give up on life to give their life over to God and just have faith and let him lead you to your own dreams and destination. In 1982 Jesse was the guest speaker at the Crystal Cathedral at the Sunday service where he gave his testimony of the miraculous growth and change that had taken place in his life when he turned his life over to God and became a Christian. https://angelsfromheaven.site/Dr. Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and author of Nature's Best Hope: How You Can Save the World in Your Own Yard.

Her other publications include "The Night School," "Wild Wisdom Companion," "The Illustrated Crystallary," "The Illustrated Bestiary," and "The Illustrated Herbiary." During this interview, Maia offers much insight from her writing experience, like, “You can hold mundane and the magical realms in your heart simultaneously and slide back and forth between.” We talk about how when something comes from your deeper knowing, it comes as a feeling without language filling your body with certainty that requires no rational thought. In this interview, you'll quickly come to understand why people say, “Maia maps new pathways for seeing our lives, inspiring those who encounter her work to live with more purpose, more intention, more meaning, and, maybe, even more magic.” Enjoy the show.

We have a very special guest who is joining us today all the way from Asheville, North Carolina. She is the author of the best-selling and award-winning Wild Wisdom Series. The seeds for this series were planted years earlier when she apprenticed with a traditional healer in Ireland, where she spent extensive time studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psychology of working with humans and illness. These experiences reawakened an interest in natural philosophy and mysticism which had been a large part of her academic studies at The University of Michigan and New York University. She has taught Botanical Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, West Chester University, and Pennsylvania Hospital. She regularly teaches at conferences and festivals where she encourages people to use the patterns and metaphors from the natural world to help them understand and grow within their own lives. This episode, Shannon and Laura talk with Maia about her latest endeavour ‘The Night School' - exploring the edges of the universe and the depths of the self, all through the lens of philosophy, divination, and astrology… A beautiful quote from the book: “magic is everywhere. To see it and the effects it has on your life, change the way you perceive the world. To harness it, change the way you interact with the energies around you. To know it, change the way you think. To live it, remember the lessons of the Night as you go about your day.” Maia Toll website Instagram- Maia Toll Support Turns Out Network Here Visit Shannon's, and Asha Moon's websites below Asha Moon Shannon Cotterill Have a witchy question to ask?

In the past, the term “witch” was used to refer to female healers. They were the ones who stayed behind, caring for the sick using natural remedies. This is in stark contrast to male healers, who used harsher methods to tend to the wounded on the battlefield. It is through herbalism that Maia Toll began to explore the witch archetype.  As she studied herbs and magic, Maia found herself looking to escape her earthly vessel. She never felt comfortable in her own skin, and was often frustrated by her body. Her attempts to flee brought about a revelation: an exploration that's disconnected from the body is insanity. By fully integrating the body and soul, Maia felt a stronger connection to the mystic.  Maia is the award-winning author of the best selling Wild Wisdom Series which has inspired readers worldwide to explore their human nature through the magical lens of the natural world.  Her latest book is The Night School, which explores the self through the lens of philosophy, divination, and astrology. She also owns an herb shop called Herbiary, with locations in Asheville, Philadelphia, and online.

Maia Toll is the author of the best selling and award-winning Wild Wisdom Series. With over 100,000 copies sold, The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary, and The Illustrated Crystallary have inspired a line of puzzles and oracle decks. The seeds for this series were planted years earlier when Maia apprenticed with a traditional healer in Ireland where she spent extensive time studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psychology of working with humans and illness. These experiences reawakened an interest in natural philosophy and mysticism which had been a large part of Maia's academic studies at The University of Michigan and New York University. Translating the lessons of the natural world for the modern seeker led Maia to open a small shop called Herbiary in 2006. Herbiary now has locations in both Asheville, NC and Philadelphia, PA (and online!). Maia was called “a real life Professor Sprout from Harry Potter” by Forbes magazine and can be found in a PBS special, The New York Times, and National Geographic Traveler. She has taught Botanical Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, West Chester University, and Pennsylvania Hospital. She regularly teaches at conferences and festivals where she encourages people to use patterns and metaphors from the natural world to help them understand and grow within their own lives. Maia lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with her life and business partner and their two ridiculously spoiled dogs.

Storey’s publisher, Deborah Balmuth speaks with best-selling author Maia Toll about how she got into herbalism, and her Wild Wisdom series including The Illustrated Bestiary, The Illustrated Crystallary, and The Illustrated Herbiary. 

I'm delighted to introduce you to Maia Toll. She is an amazing woman and published Author. You may have heard of her books or seen them in stores: The Illustrated Beastiary, The Illustrated Herbiary and The Illustrated Crystallary. If not, I adore them and highly suggest you check them out.Maia studied with a medicine woman in Ireland and learned the ways of living close to nature. She describes how immensely lonely this process can be and how easily we can romanticize an experience like this, but in actuality how deep inner work often requires the unglamourous.Listen to hear how Maia communes with nature daily and her advice about how we can each find a way to commune with nature in our own busy lives. She also believes Rituals choose you, not the other way around, and how important it is to connect our energy to our Ritual.

Maia Toll is the author of The Illustrated Herbiary which won an Indie Award, a Nautilus Award, and has been on the Pacific Northwest bestseller list. While published in 2018, the seeds for The Illustrated Herbiary and the other books in The Wild Wisdom Collection (The Illustrated Bestiary, October 2019 and The Illustrated Crystallary, Sept. 2020) were planted years earlier when Maia apprenticed with a traditional healer in Ireland where she spent extensive time studying the growing cycles of plants, the alchemy of medicine making, and the psychology of working with humans and illness.

Author and business owner Maia Toll joins us today to talk about using your business as an outlet for your creative expression, how to use intuition in your business, and how you can stay motivated for the long haul. Maia also took some time to tell us the fascinating story of how she became an entrepreneur and what led her to write her book series.

Healing with Plant Medicine is Deep and Expansive...and it extends beyond the Plant Kingdom. Traditional Western Medicine has long recognized three primary kingdoms: Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral.Today, we're talking with Maia Toll, Author of The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary and The Illustrated Crystallary, and founder of The Herbiary in Philadelphia and in Asheville, North Carolina about working with the three Kingdoms on your path to Deep Connection, Spiritual Strength, and Inner-knowing.

Maia Toll is with us today speaking about creating kinship with other-than-human friends. Maia is the author of The wild Wisdom series which includes The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary, and the forthcoming, Illustrated Crystallary. I wanted to have this conversation through a lens of climate change and dynamic social transition. How can we have a conversation about working with plants and animals and crystal without discussing climate change and over-extraction, amirite? In this episode, we also mentioned the Archetypes Deck by Kim Krans.

Award winning writer Maia Toll has been many things— a horseback riding teacher, a clinical herbalist, and (oddly) a university professor— but by far her favorite title is author. Her best-selling Wild Wisdom series (The Illustrated Herbiary,The Illustrated Bestiary, & The Illustrated Crystallary) offers a glimpse into the knowings of the natural world and the wilds within ourselves. Maia contemplated these insights during her yearlong apprenticeship to a traditional healer in Ireland. When not obsessively reading books and “talking” to trees, stones, and her two dogs, Maia drinks copious amounts of tea and helps run Herbiary, a multi-city natural wellness and sacred living store. maiatoll.com  _________________________________ Awakenings With Michele Meiche is Your place for tips and insight to live a more fulfilling life, and your relationships.

We're kicking off a year of Transformation by Reflecting on our conversation with Maia Toll, author of The Illustrated Herbiary and The Illustrated Bestiary, and by setting Heart-Centered goals and letting Life steer us in the right direction.

Award winning writer Maia Toll has been many things— a horseback riding teacher, a clinical herbalist, and (oddly) a university professor— but by far her favorite title is author. Her best-selling Wild Wisdom series ( The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary, & The Illustrated Crystallary ) offers a glimpse into the knowings of the natural world and the wilds within ourselves. Maia contemplated these insights during her yearlong apprenticeship to a traditional healer in Ireland. Though apprenticeship sounds terribly romantic, it was most often lonely, leaving Maia plenty of time to listen to the ravens, roses, and rocks. She quickly learned that the world was a whole lot bigger than her human-centric upbringing had led her to believe. When not obsessively reading books and “talking” to trees, stones, and her two dogs, Maia drinks copious amounts of tea and helps run Herbiary, a multi-city natural wellness and sacred living store she owns with her partner Andrew. She teaches and blogs to an international following at maiatoll.com where she constantly reminds people that using critical thinking skills and talking to flowers are not mutually exclusive activities.

The Magic of Plant Medicine is that it helps us dive deep, sour high, and generally figure ourselves out one way or another. Sometimes, the path can look like a global hike through wilderness and deep urban living that opens us to new adventures and ways of living or being we never imagined possible. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this class, Maia Toll hosts a discussion about the natural world and the role it plays in awakening your intuition. One of the greatest gifts of working with the natural world is realizing that you are not alone. You're surrounded by a world that whispers advice and offers direction. But, how do you learn to decipher the words of nature? Maia explains that understanding how you receive information, as well as knowing which archetypes and elements animate your outer world and invigorate your soul, will unlock a world of connectivity. Bring a journal or sketchbook to this illuminating, experiential class.

The dark half of the year is fertile ground for fears. In this year's Samhain ritual, I incorporated a map of fears, a community fire, animal spirit guides, and the energies of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone.  Mentioned in the episode is the oracle deck "The Illustrated Bestiary" by Maia Toll, a beautiful, powerful, and poetic tool.  

In today's episode you'll hear from herbalist Dana Aronson as she shares her Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinale) Monograph.  “Rosemary is the smell of déjà vu and the after-breath of nostalgia. Her gift is the faint scent that teases and vanishes, leaving you longing for something you can’t quite name, and with memories that crest and crash, pulling you gasping into their undertow” -Maia Toll  Read the monograph here: https://www.herbrally.com/monographs/rosemary  For more information about Dana Aronson: https://www.wildkinbotanicals.com/  Thanks for listening to the HerbRally podcast!  www.herbrally.com 

Goddess Alive Radio is delighted to welcome back, Author and awesome Goddess Woman Walking, Maia Toll to talk about her amazing new book, The Illustrated Bestiary!For those of you that are familiar with her first book, The Illustrated Herbiary, you will LOVE the new book which again includes the evocative artwork of Kate O'Hara AND a set of cards in the back. Make sure you flash the cover in the sun too!Maia has chosen 36 "inspiring animals" to share in the book and each animal includes a description, a Ritual, and Reflection. As always, Maia is thoughtful and insightful, introducing us to some very specific forms of animal medicine. As an example, skunk is spotted skunk, bear is black bear, and cat is tabby cat. The detail and wisdom is fantastic and Maia makes connection with these allies easy.I collect quite a few decks, so I am especially appreciative that Maia not only drilled down for particular animals, but has also included some very unusual "animals". As a girl born and raised in Delaware, I could not be more tickled that the Eastern Oyster made an appearance! There is also a surprise in the deck that Maia and I talk about in the podcast.I would LOVE to hear what animals were a surprise and what animals really resonated with you!The Illustrated Bestiary is a must-have for those that love diving into the kingdom of our animal allies. It makes for a great holiday gift as well and so does The Illustrated Herbiary!ABOUT MAIA TOLL:Award winning writer Maia Toll has been many things— a horseback riding teacher, a clinical herbalist, and (oddly) a university professor— but by far her favorite title is author.

From reflection inspired by Nuthatch in Maia Toll’s The Illustrated Bestiary, this episode touches on our reactions to Greta Thunberg’s activism and our own desire (or aversion) to joining the front line of direct action. The gentle yoga practice gets your legs up the wall to restore your energy and invites you to look at challenges from another direction, like a nuthatch.

Topics: Joey and Holly talks Talk about in segment 1 - Why we do not till our garden 1. We don’t own a tiller yes we could borrow or rent one but that not the reason we do not till Tilling Creates Major Weed Problems Want less weeds? Then stop Rototilling. 2.Rototillers cause more weeds than they ever come close to eliminating. 3. Tilling Creates The Problem Of Bare Soil When it comes to preparing beds for planting, leaving the soil bare causes a whole slew of issues that go beyond leaving an opening for weed seeds to find a home. Exposed, barren soil is primed and ready for erosion. Heavy rains leach vital nutrients from bare soil with ease. And even slight winds can carry the top 1/8 to 1/4 inch of exposed garden soil away as well. If that isn’t enough, bare soil dries out quickly. And when it does, it leaves plants thirsty in a hurry. Nicely tilled rows between plants might look “well-kept”, but in reality, they really lead to more weeds, and a loss of critical topsoil and water. 4. Tilling Destroys Soil Structure Healthy soil is all about structure. Great soil is filled with billions of helpful bacteria, worms and microorganisms. And, it should also contain all types of organic matter in various stages of decay. All of the above play a huge role in bringing and supplying nutrients to your plants. The little bits and pieces of organic matter and organisms work together to allow water, air and nutrients to be absorbed by roots. Unfortunately, tilling the soil destroys that entire symbiotic process. As soil is tilled over and over, the all-important soil structure is compromised. In addition, the active life in the soil (worms and organisms) are disrupted and exposed. 5 Soil Compaction – Stunting Plant Every time you walk near the plants in your garden, you compress the soil. And when that soil is pulverized and loose, it compacts even easier. Compacted soil around the roots causes big problems for plants. It makes it harder for water and air to get through – resulting in under performing plants Poor structure also makes it difficult for the soil to retain moisture – also a critical factor in a plant’s growth and success. And last – whether you have a rear tine tiller, front tine tiller – you still have to walk behind it or beside it – compacting even more of the very soil you are trying to break up. 6. Tilling Can Delay Garden Season If the four reasons above aren’t enough to keep from tilling the garden, here is one final reason to avoid the tiller when preparing garden beds for planting: waiting for the soil to dry out! How many times have you heard someone say “I couldn’t get my tiller in the soil until late Spring because it was so wet.” With a no-till approach, your soil structure drains better and can be worked sooner. It also leads to earlier harvest times because the plants can go in sooner.Beyond that, tilling at the wrong time creates serious additional damage to the soil structure. If it’s too wet, it results in clumpy and muddy soil. Too dry, and the rototiller destroys the little soil structure remaining. Both issues make it harder for the soil to hold in moisture and nutrients. The result? The need for more watering and fertilizers for the soil to make up for the lack of naturally available nutrients. It becomes a vicious cycle that causes more work for the gardener. 7. The Answer To Preparing Garden Beds For Planting Successfully So what is the best solution for preparing garden beds for planting? It all starts with using mulch in place of the tiller to stop weeds. And using cover crops every fall to keep your garden covered and rejuvenated. In segment 2 Joey and Holly talk about how to build raised beds correctly Rootmaker has 4 x 4 ft 12 in ht and 2 x 4 12in ht to 36 inches x 15 in height 60 gallon grow bags, beds 1. Untreated or *treated lumber cider *Back in the 90s wood was treated with very Arsenic, that has been changed is treated with ACQ, for alkaline copper quaternary. The wood meets the same standards for above ground and ground contact as arsenic-treated wood. It is safe for use in raised bed the plastic deck lumber I think would heat up to much and heat the soil as well not a bad thing in the early or late part of the year but during the hot summer in may not be good for the soil. Paint the wood. AS high as you want but not shorter than 8 inches no root crops 10 to 12 for root crops 2 Make the bed a wide as you can reach half way on each side typically that is 2 foot x 2 4 food wide put something down so you don't have weeds 3, Plan for irrigation even if you don’t think your going to have system 4. Spacing of your beds 2 ft apart or 3 or 4 ft if our going to be using a wheelbarrow or chart 5. Do not add garden soil to the bed reach out to your local independent garden center (here in Milwaukee that is Bluemel’s landscape and garden center) as they will have a mix in bulk that you can fill the beds with Additionally this about making hoops to extend your season in spring and fall In Segment 3 Joey and Holly welcome their guest Author Maia Toll of https://maiatoll.com/ Maia Toll is an Herbalist, storyteller, follaoriste, and woman’s wisdom mentor show opened her natural product shop Herbiary herbiary.com after returning from a year long apprenticeship with a traditional healer in Ireland.

What is the correct way to make a herbal tea and why is it better than normal tea ? We are talk with Maia Toll is an Herbalist, storyteller, follaoriste, and woman’s wisdom mentor 4. Let's talk about some of the benefits of plants we grow in our garden and you talk about these in your book The Illustrated Herbiary Rosemary Roses Dandelions 5. Where can our listeners find more about you and get your book? In segment 4 Joey and Holly answer your garden questions 1 Q - If I stack one bale on top of another. Would I condition the bottom bale also? Could I put off planting since the bale would be sitting conditioned for 3-4 weeks before planting? A - if you stacked the bales you would not condition the bottom one. You would also want to put The bottom bale on its side, so the cut side is perpendicular to the ground. The one you plant you want the cut side up - so when youre looking down on it you can see the straws. If you condition the bale and then the weather turns bad and you have to wait a couple weeks that is fine too. Q: 2 I have this shady balcony in our home that receives only direct morning sunlight, do u think could grow rhubarb over there?? Also I'm a zone 11 A:Rhubarb grows in zone 2 to 8. It requires an extended chilling period below 40 degrees F, in order to produce stems after winter. It can be grown as an annual from seed in zones 9 and 10, but the stalks will be smaller and less robust. There are several common varieties of rhubarb available to the home gardener. Comment Barbara Would say you planted them full moon they will come up as do tuplis or other bulbs planted in full moon my grandfather taught me that as a child goes for fence post roofing too Q. Some of our herbs and other plants (as well as flowers) were also attacked by Asian (Japanese?) beetles last year. What do you suggest to use to keep those away? A:One thing you can do is use the japanese beetle traps but dont put them in your garden, put them at the opposite end of your yard. This will trap them, but not attract them to your garden. or this website has products to help control japanese beetles without harmful chemicals. http://www.phyllombioproducts.com/products.html Q: We am looking to invest some garden space for perennials - I have a small urban backyard We just bought a house and we are thinking strawberries, asparagus, or berry bushes.Since we don’t have a lot of space, is it smart to grow perennials that will take up a permanent spot for many years keep up to date with shows here https://thewisconsinvegetablegardener.com/radio-2/ check out highlights of past show podcast and video https://thewisconsinvegetablegardener.com/video-series/highlights-podcast/ Tweet us at #twvg or @twvgshow The show runs March - Oct Check out the following sponsors that make the radio show possible: Thank you Power Planter of www.powerplanter.com IV Organics of www.ivorganics.com Dr. Earth of www.drearth.com organic Root maker of www.rootmaker.com Flame Engineering Inc. of www.flameengineering.com Use coupon code WVG19 to get free shipping.

In this podcast, I welcome Maia Toll – herbalist, ritualist and leader of Witch Camp, an earth-based program designed to reconnect people to their spiritual path through honoring natural cycles and rituals. Maia Toll shares her very best insights on how to integrate ritual into your Tarot practice to create an instant connection to the Divine. You'll learn: How a desire to 'know thyself' sparked an interest in Tarot How to use ritual in your Tarot practice… without needing to recite the Book of Shadows for every reading! How to find the 'pause' between your everyday life and your connection with the Divine Why ritual is best served 'organic' Let's get into it!
