Join me to celebrate the turning year as we move into the stillness and darkness of winter.

This circle is a space to connect with the ancient spirits of our land, our ancestors of lineage, blood and bone, and other than human.

We work with the elements through the herbs and earth to open, hold, and shift this space.

The circle consists of ritual, use of the sacred bone language of these lands, journeying, crafting, herbs, and time to connect with the seasons change.

📆 Friday 13th November

Exciting announcement! 💫 This is a small selection of the books that I'm using to research my first book due to be published by Aeon Books on healing in medieval Britain (the research papers are not very photogenic but the living history part will be better😆). By looking at a time in our history that was filled with uncertainty, change, and migration, I hope to inspire and empower you with how plants and connection with the more than human can be an important source of resilience and support.

For insider info on the book, follow me on patreon (wise herbal ways), to join in with the living history follow us on The Historical Herbalists

It's the end of an era. For 7 years or so, I've been co-organising the Scottish Wild Food Festival with a fab bunch of women, and next weekend will be the final one! So if you have ever wanted to attend, or if you have been thinking to return, this is your last chance to join us. There will be loads of amazing wild food folk sharing their skills, knowledge, and passion. Hope to see you at the festival.

Our Winter Herbal Mutual Aid Crowdfunder is LIVE! 🌿

We’re getting ready to make thousands of herbal remedies to share with our communities across Glasgow this winter through our pay-what-you-can shelves, mutual aid events and solidarity projects. 💚

We believe herbal medicine is people’s medicine- a familiar, accessible form of healthcare that can support people to connect with their bodies, their communities and the nature,

Our aim is to support vulnerable and marginalised communities across Glasgow, including refugees and asylum seekers, disabled people, q***r and trans people, and people living in poverty.

We’re raising funds for herbs, ingredients, packaging and labels, and if we raise enough, we’ll also set up a wee transport fund to help people access our winter events.

🌱 Donate if you can
📣 Share far and wide
✊ Join a Solidarity Medicine Making session

Every contribution helps keep herbal medicine accessible and rooted in community care.

Flourishing Together

First Aid and Herbal Remedies Session

What a wonderful day of herbs, learning, and self-care! 💚 Our group explored the amazing world of herbal remedies, learned how different herbs can support everyday wellbeing, and got hands-on by making their own natural balm.

They also enjoyed choosing and tasting herbal drinks while sharing questions, experiences, and lots of smiles. 🌱☕️

A heartfelt thank you to the herbal specialist Rox Madeira: Wise Herbal Ways from Movement In Thyme for sharing her knowledge, guiding our women with such care, and making the session both educational and enjoyable. 🌿💚

Learning together, sharing together, flourishing together!

A busy day Seven Lochs Wetland Park where we made various hands-on medieval remedies and crafts based on old practices and modern usage.

Spent the afternoon showing a group how to make a warming-cooling muscle and joint balm based on the famous Tiger Balm. The smells were incredible. Then we talked about herbal first aid using some simple techniques and key herbs that can be found either in the kitchen, garden or in the hedgerow: rose water, lavender, chamomile, elderflower, thyme, yarrow, and linden - which will sort you out for burns, cuts, scraps, bleeding, colds, tension, bites, digestion, sleep, and itchy skin.

This sheet of an Anglo-Saxon manuscript, alongside many manuscripts, was thrown out of the monestery during the dissolution of the monestries around 1535 and reused to wrap a 16th-century school book! Amazingly, it was recovered and now sits in the collection at the Wellcome Library. On it, there are medical recipes written down in old English by monks in the 11th century for heartache, lung disease, an ointment, and salve for tumours.
