14. Bernadette Ashcroft - A Love of Green Things

In episode 15: A Love of Green Things, Miriam speaks with Bernadette Ashcroft, folk herbalist, folk singer, foraging teacher, nature resonance guide and a walker on the path of the Bean Feasa (Irish for a woman of knowledge or wise-woman). In this episode Miriam and Bernadette speak about their love of the plants and the English countryside and express their shared reticence to document every aspect of their lives on social media. Bernadette shares the process behind creating her plant-based healing wares in the Wild Folk Apothecary. She offers suggestions for those wanting to know where to begin when it comes to connecting with the living world and subtle realms. This is a nourishing, uplifting conversation between two women in love with all things green. It’s a call to remember the inherent magick of ourselves as human beings in connection with the more-than human world.
