As herbalists, witches, sorcerers and practitioners of magick, we have a vested interest in bettering our society so that non-traditional people like us can live in safety and community, and we are also uniquely able to see the gifts that Nature offers us to support this transformation.
Drawing on my 30+ years of experience supporting activists, healers, artists and change-makers, and using the short anti-totalitarianism text “On Tyranny” as our guide, we will explore practical advice and steps each of us can take, supported by plant allies and herbal intelligences.
In this talk, I’ll discuss the Tibetan Root that can lift us out of the despair that can make us give up and “obey in advance”. I’ll share how Lotus brings discernment so we can “be reflective” and target the people who cause actual harm, along with a Chinese mineral medicine to help each of us set examples that “break the spell of the status quo”. I’ll also explore how each of us can “be a patriot” in a constructive, non-nationalist way by following the examples of pioneer herbs like Dandelion.
