This is a re-release of a previous Patreon-Exclusive from a couple years ago!

In this episode, we'll chat about quite a few topics related to cannabis. All the way from the more scientific and 'mundane' side in the muggle/nerd segment,  to the spiritual and very magical side in the spiritual segment.

And then we have our recurring segments. In the coven corner, I answer two messages sent in from you guys, and then in podcast community I'll talk to you about some more harry potter podcasts, and of course my favourite canna-centric podcasts.

You can submit more questions for the coven corner, or request a tarot reading, or a custom crocheted item either through my blog’s ask box, or email me at [email protected]

All the links mentioned in the show are below, including a great page from some of my favourite herbalists. Have a magical 420!

In this short episode, I talk through coming up the card placements for this month's Patreon tarot spread. It's  early spring, which means it's Spring ephemeral time! Spring ephemerals bring out a LOT of foragers, new and experienced alike. And with the huge spike in popularity this year, it got me thinking about responsible foraging and how we might apply the same lessons to our own lives.

This is the recipe I use for my basic white loaves, except I use traditional dry yeast instead of instant, and just activate the yeast beforehand. I haven't tried it with wild yeast though! Paul Hollywood's White Bread Recipe

Intro and Outro Music: Let the Gold Flow by Birds of Paradise

Tarot Music: Meditieren by Lately Kind of Yeah 

In the Bleak Midwinter, based on the poem A Christmas Carol by Christina Rosetti, composed by Gustav Holst, lyrics adapted by Laura Deal Raeder. 

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind makes moan.

Earth stands hard as iron, water like a stone.

Snow has fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow.

In the bleak midwinter, it is ever so.

Darkness now surrounds us as the nights grow long,

Yet we fill the night time with our hopeful song.

Winter’s cold won’t reach us here, where we light our fire,

As we burn the old year on its funeral pyre.

Now the new year beckons, even in this night.

Soon the days will lengthen, and our hearts grow light.

Hope will grow within us as we look ahead,

And we see that spring wakes out of winter’s bed.

Light will follow darkness, as the earth turns round,

Sunlight follows moonlight, thawing frozen ground.

So our lives renew with every dawning day,

And with every new year, blue skies follow gray.

This month, we continue looking at greenwitching through a practical lens with a chapter of The Reference Book all about ingestible herbal preparations. Teas, tinctures and elixers, oh my! And then I introduce a new kind of tarot segment, Tarot as a Sacred Text, inspired by Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. We begin with the sacred reading practice, lectio divina. There will be a longer conversation and journey through the idea process available to all patrons as a bonus episode very soon! Plus, in between the segments, I have a fun announcement of an interview I was featured on!
