I’m not a doctor – though I wish I was because who wouldn’t want to take their petrified child to see Dr Payne? However, I did study herbal medicine and practice as a naturopath, which could be why so many folks still get in touch with me about plant medicine.
So! To all those green appreciators out there – wannabe witches, budding shamans, dandelion disciples, mullein maestros, burdock rockers, sage mages… this episode with Taj Scicluna is for you.
You might know Taj as The Perma Pixie, but she’s currently in a rebranding chrysalis and will be emerging soon as something new and beautiful. She’s a Botanical Educator, Grassroots & Bioregional Herbalist, Writer, Forager, Awe-seeker and Animist – and I’ll add: a clear, calm voice in the wilderness.
There’s so much to love in this long, awakening convo. May it scratch the botanical itch while soothing the herbal soul.
