Two Crones and a Microphone episodes

  • Podcast 83: Thinning of the Veils

    What have your ancestors given you?

    In Episode 83, “Thinning of the Veils,” Linda, Betty, and Sally explore ancestral connection, remembrance, family patterns, and the ways the lives of those who came before us continue to shape our own.

    The conversation moves through prayer, meditation, genealogy, family stories, inherited trauma, ancestral gifts, and the practices we can use to understand what has been passed down through generations.

    Some patterns deserve to be carried forward. Others may be asking to be examined, healed, or released.

    Listen to Episode 83 of Two Crones and a Microphone: “Thinning of the Veils.”

  • Podcast 81: Herbal Helper or Weed?

    What exactly makes a plant a “weed”?

    In Podcast 81 of Two Crones and a Microphone, Crone Linda and Crone Sally take another look at some of the plants we routinely pull, mow, or try to banish from our gardens—and the long history of people using those same plants as food, medicine, and teachers.

    Dandelion, cleavers, chamomile, mugwort, yarrow, jewelweed, plantain, mint, kudzu, and goldenrod all make an appearance as Linda and Sally explore the line between herbal helper and unwanted weed.

    They also talk about learning to identify plants safely, respecting the ecosystems we live within, and paying closer attention to the green world already growing around us.

    Your wisdom practice for this episode: Go meet a plant. Find something growing nearby that you might normally dismiss as a weed. Learn its name. Learn something about it. See what changes when you begin paying attention.

  • Podcast 80: Unseen Helpers in Your Garden

    What if some of the most important helpers in your garden are the ones you cannot see?

    In Podcast 80, Linda and Betty explore their relationships with plants, trees, fairies, nature spirits, and the living energies they experience in gardens and wild places.

    They discuss talking with plants, Reiki and blessed water, plant-spirit traditions, caring for trees, making offerings before harvesting, forest bathing, and paying closer attention to the land where we live.

    The episode also includes reading recommendations from Pam Montgomery and Dora van Gelder Kunz, along with a preview of an upcoming short about identifying, harvesting, and bundling mugwort.

    Listen to “Unseen Helpers in Your Garden,” then spend a little time sitting quietly with your own plants. You may notice more than you expected.

  • Podcast 78: Labyrinths: Ancient Paths Alive Today

    A labyrinth is not a maze.

    There are no dead ends. No tricks. No wrong turns. Just one winding path inward, and one path back out again.

    In Episode 78, we talk about labyrinths as ancient tools for meditation, intuition, healing, sacred geometry, Earth wisdom, ceremony, and community. We share stories from Chartres Cathedral, Alaska, retreat centers, finger labyrinths, portable labyrinths, and a 150-foot mown grass labyrinth on Ohio farmland.

    Find a labyrinth. Walk it. Trace it. Dance it. Sit with it. Let the path do what paths do.

  • Podcast 77: Drop the Seed: Gardening as Spiritual Practice, A Conversation with Libby Clarke

    In this episode of 2 Crones and a Microphone, Linda, Betty, and Sally welcome Libby Clarke: podcast producer, designer, artist, teacher, seminarian, and lifelong grower.

    The conversation begins in Libby’s New Jersey yard, once a lawn and now a small food forest, and opens into something much larger: gardening as spiritual practice, relationship with place, food sovereignty, humility, seed saving, compost, worm bins, fertilizer tea, neighborhood connection, and the stubborn generosity of the earth.

    From champagne raspberries to mugwort, mustard seeds, chard, potatoes, elderberries, and one truly foul-smelling barrel of fertilizer tea, this episode invites listeners to stop treating gardening as a performance and start receiving it as a conversation.

    You do not need acres. You do not need perfection. You need a cup of dirt, a seed, and the willingness to begin.

    About Libby 

    Libby Clarke is an artist, designer, teacher, podcast producer, seminarian, and Creative Director of Stoneroller Cooperative. Her work brings together faith, creativity, accessibility, community, and justice. She lives in New Jersey, where her small yard has become a food forest, a neighborhood conversation starter, and an ongoing spiritual practice.Websites

  • Podcast 76: Victory Gardens Then and Now: Growing Food, Community, and Hope

    What can Victory Gardens teach us today?

    In this episode of Two Crones and a Microphone, we explore the remarkable history of Victory Gardens and the growing movement toward community gardening, food resilience, and heritage seeds.

    From stories of grandparents who canned vegetables for winter to modern community gardens that donate fresh produce to local food banks, we discuss how growing food connects us to one another, to the earth, and to generations of wisdom.

    Whether you garden on acres of land, in a raised bed, or with a few pots on a balcony, there's a place for you in this conversation.

    Listen now and discover how a handful of seeds can grow into something much larger than a harvest.

  • Two Crones and a Microphone Podcast Support Us Podcast 75: Managing Grief with Grace: Charlotte Starfire (Part 2)

    Grief is one of the few universal human experiences, and yet many of us are taught to carry it quietly and alone.

    In Episode 75 of Two Crones and a Microphone, we welcome back grief educator and spiritual teacher Charlotte Starfire for a deeply honest conversation about loss, healing, ritual, and transformation.

    Charlotte shares the story behind her upcoming chakra-based grief deck, Grief and Grace Through the Chakras, and reflects on what it means to move through grief with support, community, and compassion instead of silence.

    We discuss:
    • grief as a natural part of life
    • why modern culture struggles to talk about death
    • healing through ritual and energy work
    • support for parents grieving children
    • the role of ancestors, community, and spiritual practice
    • finding beauty and “glimmers” even in difficult times

    This is a thoughtful, tender conversation for anyone navigating loss or supporting someone who is.

    Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.
