The LMC Radio Network

So, how does one use herbs in their spiritual and magical practice? Steeped in the mysteries of legends and lore, herbs afford a physical link to the beliefs and practices of people and cultures throughout the ages. A common component among ancient worldviews was the belief in supernatural interventions, in both compassionate and malicious forms, thought to control natural phenomena such as the weather, success - or failure - of crops and harvests, the abundance or absence of wildlife, as well as effects on the health and prosperity of an individual, family, or community. Evidenced even in ancient times, people often used plants not only for food and medicines to alleviate pain and suffering but also as a means of connecting with and honoring the spiritual realm and creating change. People in different cultures around the world have created spells, practices, and energetic safeguards for themselves, loved ones, pets, and property as well as to increase feelings of love, passion, and romance. In fact, many of these plants are some of the earliest and most-used around the globe and can still be used to create modern “love potions” and protection spells, among many others. Join us and our special guest Trevor Peerson who shares his over 30 years of herbal knowledge and experiences as we explore the why's, when's, and how's of working with those wonderful herbs!
