Episode 59: Create your Magical Herbal Apothecary with Emily Morrison

I chatted with Emily Morrison, of Wise Women Witchery, for her podcast the Witch Next Door.  We came together to talk about my upcoming class "Making Your Own Magical Herbal Apothecary" for the 4th Annual Season of the Witch Virtual Conference October 6th and 7th. But, in our usual style, we meandered through nourishing topics from herbal jar spell, plant communication, moving beyond the fear of herbs, importance of community, and more. 🌼Season of the Witch Conference bit.ly/3sx0GnC [https://wise-woman-witchery.teachable.com/p/3rd-season-of-the-witch1?affcode=344420_fharsqtk] 💚 Ways to connect with Emily Morrison https://www.wisewomanwitchery.com/ [https://www.wisewomanwitchery.com/]
