This month's herbologist reward is the dandelion! These plants have fortitude, and have followed us irrepressibly all over the globe. They are fascinating, sometimes overlooked but full of interesting folklore and facts! If you like these prints (and more) please consider joining my patreon!
Also, as everyone knows - times have been real tough. I don't want to go into it too deeply, but my patreon has been steadily shrinking all year (understandably) and my costs to run it have risen at least three times. If you're able to share or promote my work, to anyone who you'd think like it, to your followers, to your friends, thank you. It's been a really intense year, and I don't want to be doom and gloom just yet, but things are tough. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work, monetarily, or not. You are the best and the reason I keep creating 💖

Still can’t believe that tristamp plants sexually reproduce via traumatic insemination. I just. Who. Who looked at the subtext of Fifth Moon and thought. Hm. You know what this needs? The kind of sex that bedbugs have.

We are entering the season of the Yew. Eihwas the Death Rune represents the letter Y and is connected to the yew tree. The yew has been a symbol of death in many cultures since ancient times. They also represent immortality and rebirth because these graveyards trees can live for centuries. The inner part of the tree slowly dies and it sends up daughter trees abound the perimeter growing from the inside out. The death tree is also the sacrificial tree, the place of shamanic death and initiation. All parts of the yew are toxic except for the red “berry” surrounding the seeds. Taxus (yew’s scientific name) and toxin share the same root. - - #poisonpath #poisonousplants #yewrune #eihwaz #shamanicdeath #banefulherbs #treeteachers #plantlore https://www.instagram.com/p/CjV7ipoLyPU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Herbalist’s Primer by Anna Urbanek
This book is so much fun! It's a combination of botany, traditional herbal medicine, and folklore summarized in a way that you can adapt to your choice of role-playing game. It's an easy read with tons of helpful information, instructions, and resources for those wanting to make their own herbal medicines, harvest native edible plants, cast spells, or just have a rich background for their character. They even have plant generation tables if you want to make up fictional plants for your game! I purchases this gorgeous book from a Kickstarter and will also be getting the hardcover of the Geologist's Primer they've begun work on.

Indiana( my home state) doesn’t get much attention so I was surprised to see this reference to Hoosier Home Remedies (Tyler, 85) in Elsevier’s Dictionary of Plant Lore talking about Black nightshade used topically. I’ve found this use in the work of another Indiana herbalist Joseph Meyer from the early 20th century 🖤📚🌱 - #blacknightshade #indianaherbalist #dictionaryofplantlore #plantlore #hoosierplants #herbalist #plantfolklorist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-W4QVLpeY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
