Use of ritual teas and herbsFor generations, plants have been trusted allies to seers and wise women – not only for their healing properties, but for the way they invite ritual, presence, and reverence. In this series, we’ll work with a different herbal tea each week to ground the body, open the heart, and quiet the noise of everyday life. Just as tarot helps us access intuition through symbol and story, herbs help us soften, settle, and listen more deeply. All herbs used are gentle, legal, and non-psychoactive – you won’t get high, just more connected.
