    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.

    Whether you're honoring loved ones, navigating your own transformation, or simply longing for deeper rest, this episode is a quiet invitation to return to your inner wisdom.

    🌿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

    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.

  • Herbs and Planets - Creating Balance through Herbal Wisdom

    Herbs and Planets - Creating Balance through Herbal Wisdom
    Oct 22 2024

    Today, I want to talk about how astrology and herbs can help us stay grounded and balanced. Whether you've faced personal challenges or you just feel overwhelmed by everyday life, creating intentional routines with herbs and astrology has been a game-changer for me. It's not about treating a specific ailment—it's about aligning with natural energies and finding balance in your well-being.

    Throughout today's episode, I'll walk you through:

    1. The four elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—and their significance in astrology.
    2. How these elements show up in herbs and how you can use them to support emotional and physical well-being.
    3. I'll also share personal stories from my journey, plus practical tips for starting your own routine.

    So, grab a cup of tea, and let's dive in!

    22 Aphrodisiacs Do They Work?
    Feb 12 2023
    Valentine's Day is just a couple of days away, and this show is about the holiday from a woman's perspective, whether you are in a relationship or not. I've been married for almost 30 years, and I want to put the holiday into perspective. My friends and I discuss the unrealistic expectations set by society and the impact they can have on mental health. The greeting card industry created Valentine's Day as a marketing ploy and its history, including the concept of aphrodisiacs. Brenda's guest mentions that she creates boundaries for herself and celebrates the holiday in a more meaningful and personal way, with her family and in a cozy manner. The show also gets into the topic of aphrodisiacs and the concept of herbal actions related to aphrodisiacs. I share different cultures, including the Greeks and the Chinese, who have documented their beliefs in aphrodisiacs and the use of herbal remedies.

  • Smudging - Clear the old energy out and welcome in the new energy

    Smudging - Clear the old energy out and welcome in the new energy
    Feb 7 2023
    Smudging is a traditional practice that has been used for centuries and is a popular tool in many spiritual communities today. It is a simple yet powerful way to reset and refresh energy and create a peaceful atmosphere by burning herbs or incense and releasing the smoke that carries away any old negative energy and invites in new, positive energy. Smudging can be used for various purposes, from cleansing your home to healing your body, mind, and spirit. In this blog post, we'll explore smudging, how it works, why it's important, and tips on how to smudge correctly. Join me to learn about smudging and explore the various herbs used for this purpose.
