Roots are vital to the strength of a plant. Some are fragile, some incredibly strong. Some plants will struggle if you expose any of their root to air, others can grow from an inch of bare root replanted. The underground life of plants is magnificent. In this third class of our Plant Ally series we will discuss comfrey and borage, their medicines, and how they extract nutrients from the soil to share with other plants (and us). We will just barely scratch the surface of the rabbit hole that is soil science (puns intended)… prepare to be fascinated.

Winter is an ideal time for us to dream up our garden plans for the upcoming growing season. This unique series of classes centers the witch’s garden through the lenses of magic, herbalism, gardening tips, and earth stewardship.
Each class offers a deep dive on different harmonious pairings of plants along with preparations made with many of the plants discussed. Participants will take home samples of these preparations to further enhance their studies and build their own personal plant spirit apothecary and grimoire pages for each of these plants.

Michelle VanderHouwen is the owner of Oak and Hawthorn and provides the plant babies for Ritualcravt’s annual plant sale.

Throughout all her years, she has studied art as a window into Spirit and the psyche, and Nature has been her church. Michelle believes that our hands are magnificent communicators. When we let them dig, sculpt, draw, scrape, tie and sew, we are sending messages to and from Heart Center. Our hands, full of sensation but devoid of reasoning, can create pure, honest prayer. In Michelle’s classes she teaches, with a variety of tools, different ways of accessing Spirit using our hands and hearts. Her goal is to help us all access the knowing we had at birth. Michelle is deeply knowledgeable about the spiritual wisdom of nature, studied Shamanic Herbalism with Darcey Blue, and walks with the soul of a Witch.
