Honey and the Hex episodes
- Seahenge
Imagine you’re walking the beach, about to go fishing for your supper, but instead unearth a gigantic Bronze Age monument which had been submerged under the water for thousands of years. That’s exactly what happened to John Lorimer in the Spring of 1998, but that’s not the end of this controversial story. Today we plunge into the water as we voyage to Holme Beach in Norfolk. Throw your anchor out witches, this is a rocky one.

29 min - Plantlore with Vicky Chown
Where do science, spirits and plants combine? This episode we chat with Medical Herbalist Vicky Chown about plant folklore, the synergy of nature and how to avoid accidentally poisoning your friends.
Vicky was born and raised in London. She had a calling to study nature from a young age and didn't let city living get in the way. Her passion for herbs led her to work for Neal’s Yard Remedies for 7 years where she developed her knowledge of herbal remedies and natural skin care. She went on to teach foraging and herbal remedy making and continues to work in organic permaculture gardens, where she now grows many of the plants that are used for Handmade Apothecary.
