This week, Heather sits down with Earth Magic maven Stephanie Schafer for a grounded and magical conversation on earth wisdom, plant spirits, and practical, everyday ritual. With roots in folklore and and a deep connection to the natural world, Stephanie shares how we can connect more intimately with the plants, trees, herbs, flowers and cycles that surround us.

From the sacred power of the garden to the symbolic lessons of folklore and the healing presence of the earth itself, Stephanie invites us to experience spirituality in ways that are tangible, embodied, and accessible. This episode is a reminder that magic doesn’t have to be abstract and ethereal, it’s living and breathing all around us (and inside of us), waiting to be discovered.

Stephanie Schafer is a co-founder of Serpent and the Dove, with roots in Catholic tradition and a deep love for earth magic and folklore. Her work is grounded in the sacred energies of the earth, moon, and divine. With a background in psychology, biology, and nursing, she bridges the physical and spiritual to create offerings that inspire healing, connection, and transformation. Her garden and kitchen are sacred spaces where magic comes to life, and her mission is to help others awaken to the magic within and around them.
