43: Livin' the Fancy and Feral Life with Nicole Picou of Into the Feral

Welcome to The Violet Vulture!

In this episode and in our final installment of the season, Embracing Duality, I’m joined by Nicole of Into the Feral (she/her).

Located in the Avondale neighborhood of Chicago, Into the Feral is a thoughtfully curated retail store full of home goods, apothecary items, jewelry and treasures. When you walk in the vibe is instantaneous. The energy in this little shop is palpable, and the magic comes back with each cup of tea you make, fragrance you use, or necklace worn. From the witchy-chic you can’t live without, to the simple gift for someone special, you’ll find offerings that celebrate both shadow and light. If you are looking to transform YOU or your space into a delightful sanctuary, look no further than Into the Feral.

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• What means to be feral and fancy
• Advice Nicole has to offer to people who are only just now beginning to cultivate their unique style
• Insight into Nicole’s spiritual systems and how she weaves magick into her everyday life
• Nicole’s tarot and herbalism beginnings
• The meaning behind her mission to match-make human experiences as seen through Tarot, to powerful plant allies
• Some BTS for how Nicole concocts a new tea blend
• And the blend that has been the most impactful for Nicole to dream up and offer the world

If you're ready for a conversation between two feral 'n witches who get real and laugh a ton, this one is for you.
