Learn how to identify the “witching herbs” growing all around us with local witch and herbalist, Kris Gurky. We will discuss how various herbs were used in New England folk magick, the preparation of herbs for various workings, folk medicine use and application, how to ethically wildcraft herbs for use in ritual, the correspondences of herbs that greet us, and how to apply this in your practice.
At the end of the walk, we will sit in circle, sip cooling lunar infusions, and craft herbal poppets with herbs wildcrafted along the way. This walk is approximately a half-mile long with some potential inclines. Proper clothing for the temperature and weather should be worn. If you would like to join the Witches’ Herbal Walk, please meet in the lobby of the Hawthorne Hotel.
