Because that last post got me thinking about it:
- Herbalism is an entirely unregulated profession
- Anyone can call themselves an herbalist with no qualifications at all
- Herbal “schools” are also largely unregulated
- Many witchcraft books on herbalism, even some popular ones, are created by the author just googling “(plant) magic” and citing whatever random blogspot post they find first.
- The medicinal effects of many, if not most, herbs touted for medicinal purposes have not been proven. Homeopathy defies every principle established by science and medicine and does not work.
Some herbs can kill if you touch them. Countless others can cause irreparable organ damage if ingested in medicinal amounts. Yes, even the ones safe for culinary use. Yes, even “safe” homeopathic dilutions.
Research this shit like your life depends on it, because it does.

I am a fucking hedge and garden witch. I like outside. I dance in the rain and have tea in the garden.
I also get a sunburn in five minutes. And, if the itchy bumps on my legs and torso are any indication, am ALLERGIC TO GRASS NOW (thank the gods my dad has non-benadryl antihistamines)

she's a ten but ultimately she's in alternate universe sipping warm cup of tea reading poetries to match her soul while the breeze within the wintry rain kiss her burnt cheeks.

Sunshine yellow
Lemon tea (with lemon balm, too!)
And black-eyed susans blooming wildly
