A Transmission from the Cannabis deva
Dragon medicine – a double edged sword! Warning: This transmission may trigger some people. Just want to preface this by saying: I am just the messenger, not the source! Some of this information made complete sense and some of it surprised me greatly – I was particularly intrigued by the specificity of the different preparations…

Walking the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail
Having just hiked the trail (aka bvrt), passing numerous cyclists and a few people on horseback, other walkers were sparse. In fact I could count them on the fingers of one hand. So I thought I’d write this post in the hope of inspiring more walkers, especially given as to the ease of this trail…

The Deep Magic of Mugwort
Before our herbal alchemy spagyric making course with Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), I asked if there was something the Mugwort deva would like as an offering. “Make mugwort beer” was the clear response and was shown a picture of the Mugwort I was to use. I’d been in a quandary as to which Mugwort to use…

Herbs as Teachers: Awakening Ancestral Wisdom
Herbs make brilliant teachers. The more I learn directly from herbs through deep listening and plant communication, the more I’m noticing some repeating patterns. Firstly, all plants when you meet them at a core level – at the level of spirit (more on this below), will teach you about unity consciousness. Secondly, the deeper you…

The Australian Native Flower Codes are specific flowers that support healing and integration of those from different lands and heritages with the energies, spirits, custodians and guardians of this beautiful land that is now known as Australia. These flowers can help to heal the gap between what is within and what is outside, to help…

Thyme is in our hands
Thyme is in our Hands… It’s Time for Thyme! …the gateway to eternity… In August, 2019, a small group of people joining the Co-creative Gardening Collective had a brief tune into Thyme. One of the messages received was that there was about to be a local epidemic and that Thyme would be specific for it…

5 Keys to Plant Communication
Plants are living beings. While they may function and communicate differently to us, that doesn’t make them any less intelligent. In fact, there is growing evidence that plants communicate in much more sophisticated ways than was first imagined.* From my personal communications with the plant realm, I have realised that they have an awful lot…

Patchouli Teachings
Patchouli – unassuming and earthy. While well known for its scent, as a moth repellant and hippie deodorant, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. In fact, when a group of people coming to one of my plant journey evenings met with Patchouli, they were all surprised at her sweet, gentle energy. …

Bushfires: Harnessing the Power of Wind. How you can help right now!
Last night I woke at 4am. Bushfires are out of control in beloved forest just 16km away. The wind has been quiet and still for a few hours, smoke hangs in the air. But I am awake. Something is going on. I hear the fire alert go off downstairs. Only yesterday I downloaded the Fires…

The Voices of Intuition: Deep Listening
When you ask a question or are trying to make a decision, there are often a few voices that arise.. Invariably the first is right there, clearly stating a choice or an opinion. It’s fast and relatively easy to hear. It often is directing you to do something quickly. It can be persistent and demanding…

Fringed Lily
Fringed Lily Thysanotus tuberosus Last December my nature buddy, Gigi (who has turned out to be my cousin but we didn’t know that back then and that’s a whole other story about the beauty of doing ancestral work!) and I decided to make a flower essence of the little Fringe Lily which was flowering at…

An Alchemical Journey with Yarrow.
An Alchemical Journey with Yarrow. Making spagyrics is an enormous dive into experiencing a herb. Alchemy is a layered experience. The deeper you journey with a plant, the more layered the messages become. What may not make sense at the beginning, usually comes together at some point! In this article you’ll see the step by…

Rosemary – Divine Mother
One of the first plant spagyrics I made close to 20 years ago along with a friend, was Rosemary. Sadly it was back in the days when I didn’t document (lesson learned!) and so much of what we experienced – alchemy is a lived experience of a plant – has been lost. Rosemary is for…

The Lost Art of Embodied Herbalism
The Lost Art of Embodied Herbalism: Bringing the Feminine back into Herbalism As herbalism becomes increasingly about chemical constituents and actions, and the actual herb as a spirit being is not considered, we are losing connection with what herbs and plants are all about. The herbs are being taken out of herbalism! More and more…

Calendula: Healing the Masculine Within
Calendula Officinalis I’ve always loved this little plant and used it often for surface wounds, grazes, tooth infections and tissue trauma. It’s antiseptic and heals tissue beautifully. It’s long been known as a remedy to bring cheer through a long winter (Seasonally Affective Disorder), and to bring a little dose of sunshine to any rotting…

The Essence of Butterfly
Has anyone else felt like 2018 has been a big transition year? I’ve certainly noticed that Butterfly medicine has been strong. Over the last 13 years since I made the Blue Triangle Butterfly remedy, I’ve really noticed it has these waves of use. Mostly it gets active (orders or people needing it) in the summertime…

Chamomile – Finding the Light Within.
A message from the Chamomile deva: Activate your light. Let it shine. Listen to the light of truth deep within. Don’t get distracted by the loud voices of the ego that can clutter your space and cloud your mind. Connect deeply to your real self, your own sun, your solar plexus, your centre. There is…

Shepherd’s Purse Wisdom
Making plant remedies is a great opportunity to connect in deeper with the spirit of a plant and learn from it, whether it be a tincture, a flower essence, a tea, salve or homeopathic. In turn, this gives more potency to whatever you are making. Anyone can chop a herb and pour alcohol on it…

Weeds…… maybe nature knows best
Today I had the experience of seeing myself as a weed. An incredibly fertile weed like a “Farmers Friend”, with the little seeds that attach to your clothing and are annoying and incredibly prolific! And I could see similarities to myself. I have a lot of ideas, always on the go creatively, and sometimes frustratingly…

Singing the Land
Simple ways to reconnect with the earth and ourselves. What does it mean to sing the land? Most of us, at least in Australia, have heard of songlines – these apparently invisible tracks across the country that the Aboriginals sang as they travelled along. These songs are the music of the land, a…

The Energy of Land
Do you ever wonder why you are drawn to certain places? Why you find yourself living somewhere at a certain point in your life? How the energy of that place affects you? For the last year I have lived and worked in Alice Springs as a midwife. The land there is so strong and powerful…

Herbal Brews
A few tried and tested herbal beer and champagne recipes. Apart from making a fairly regular Elderflower champagne, I haven’t delved much into herbal brewing. Although I did make a rather delicious Dandelion wine once in my early 20’s when I was entering the world of herbalism. It wasn’t until last year at the beginning…

Birth Imprints
What are birth imprints? In very simple terms, our brain chemistry is forming creating neural imprints while we are gestating in the womb, through labour and birth and in the first few years of life. How these neural pathways are laid down at this time has a long term impact. In fact, the more I…
