What a beautiful day to visit with Grandmother Hawthorn!
The sun is shining and warm but we had shade and a breeze.
The sounds of the bees and birds provided the music.
Now, leaf, flower and twigs (and a couple of thorns!) drying for tea; brandy-based tincture soaking; flower essence coming with the new moon tomorrow….
Hawthorn/craetagus spp: An unparalleled remedy for grief, acute and chronic, at all levels of our being. Gentle yet strong, considered a food, and also quite magical — the tree of the fairies. Want to know more? Just ask.
Rosemary Gladstar’s Heartease Tea
