The Witchy Herbs & Plants of Spring

[@thnkfrtheVenom]

Your journey with gardening has inspired me to start my own garden! I've also discovered elderberry trees on my property, so I will be harvesting them this coming summer and attempting to make jam!

Italians love bitter greens and my grandmother taught me how to forage for them. We made a salad of them with sweet onion, salt and pepper and Redwine vinegar and olive oil. The tea was good for digestion.

My grandfather collected birch sap in the forest in spring. This is a tasty and vitamin drink. Despite the fact that in the time when I knew my grandfather there was no problem with food in spring, he would do it out of habit, as his parents had taught him. Since he came from a peasant family.

Purple dead nettle is also good dried and brewed as a tea for seasonal allergies

I do personally think that nature environment issues go hand in hand with neo paganism. Looking after the needs of nature is showing the goddess that you care about her and her creations. It can be so simple to do by just allowing some of the natural wild plants to grow in your garden that allows beneficial insects to feed and breed. A lot of these are weeds like dandelions. Grown with your favourite garden plants gives you the best of both worlds. Choosing good pollenating-insect friendly plants surely puts you in favour of the Earth mother. If you don't have a garden. A window box or plants in containers puts you firmly in tune with Nature. Indoor plants are also acceptable in this sense.

I also think the term living room which is a bit derogatory because there are some people with mental and physical disabilities who can't get out and maybe don't have family that is okay with taking them out to do witchcraft or stuff like that. And if you suffer from social anxiety like me and I am a bipolar and it is sometimes hard for me to get out in public because I go into a major panic attack and also I live in the city where nature is not really prevalent. So the only thing I have a central park and you're not allowed to pick the flowers and I don't think they would look very kindly on you out there. Doing a full-long ritual as a witch and it's very dangerous to go at night. If not illegal, I think it may be, but I think that people need to rethink their way of thinking that you know some, which is I pull my energy from outside to me. I bring it in so I may have a plant indoor plant and I catch rainwater outside my window. I catch snow So I bring the nature to me. But I do love to go outside and I am lucky enough to have someone that will go with me. That knows how my mental disorder play a part and how to keep me calm and I end you have medication as well if I need it

I think "pagans" need to move away from calling themselves pagans as it comes from Latin originally meaning a village/rural dweller as opposed to those that lived in city's, Christians used pagan as a distinction between them and rural people as Christianity became the dominant religion in the roman city's, nature and ancestor worship was unchanged in rural areas. so calling yourself a pagan your just using a Latinized Roman Christianized term, which is not correct to use and just reinforces the church's terms, even if people think they are now owning the word. I used to call myself a pagan Christian as I still follow Christ but I also follow ancestor nature worship of Danu, now I call myself a Danannan Christian and I suggest those that call themselves "pagan" call themselves by their path of spiritualty and god or deity worship. I could still call my self pagan in the pre-Christian roman sense in that I live rurally lol so I guess I could still call my self a pagan Danannan Christian as I do live rurally, but I would not use it in the roman catholic context as its derogatory to rural people and non Christians.
