    Exploring the Thin Veil – Mugwort and Dream Work for Samhain

    As the veil thins and the season shifts, we enter a time for remembering, dreaming, and listening to the whispers between worlds. In this reflective episode, I share the ancient roots of Samhain, explore the sacred symbolism of dreams, and introduce you to Mugwort — one of the most powerful herbs of the season.

    You'll hear stories, folklore, and a gentle dream ritual you can try at home.

    🌿My Garden Journal – A How-To Garden Book for Kids

    Because every gardener starts with a single seed—and a little curiosity.

    Gardening is a learned skill, and the best way to grow confidence is by getting your hands in the soil and keeping track of your journey along the way. My Garden Journal is part how-to guide, part creative keepsake—designed to help kids (and their grown-ups) learn the basics of growing food and flowers while documenting their progress.

    Inside, you'll find simple tips on the how, when, and where of planting, plus room to explore your garden with drawings, photos, and notes. It even includes fun, themed garden ideas—such as a Harry Potter-inspired Herb Garden, a Young Chef's Garden, or a Monarch Butterfly Superhero Garden for little pollinator protectors.

    Perfect for homeschooling families, budding herbalists, or anyone seeking to connect with nature in a fun and hands-on way.

    ✨ You'll be amazed at how much you (and your garden) grow when you take time to journal the journey.

    27 Agrimony- The Herb that Teaches Us When to Remove the Mask
    Aug 22 2025
    Have you ever smiled while your heart was breaking? In this episode, Brenda J. Sullivan explores the quiet wisdom of agrimony, an herb long associated with hidden sorrow and emotional healing. Through personal story, folklore, and herbal insight, she invites listeners to reflect on the "cheerful mask" we often wear and what it means to take it off. From Anglo-Saxon sleep charms to the plant's modern uses for tension and emotional release, Brenda shares how agrimony shows up as both metaphor and medicine. Settle in with a warm cup of tea and join her for a soulful exploration of grief, resilience, and the plant that helps us soften the burdens we hide. ✍️ Join my newsletter! https://thenewenglandherbary.com/newsletter-signup/ Reference: Journal Article Zeković, M., Rosić, M., Savić-Gajić, I., Savić, S., & Savić, A.
