The @viridisgenii symposium is an annual retreat focused on the dispersal of wisdom from those who walk the green path and revel in its mysteries.

Viridis Genii symposium
A new magical plant introduced itself to us today A new magical plant introduced itself to us today on our walk up the creek. Western meadow rue. Upon researching it, it appears to have a history as a love potion of sorts... "Blackfoot Indian girls used to tie the flower or seed bunches in their hair. Girls felt it was a great love medicine, capturing the first male who saw them. There are several other tribes of Amerindians who also felt meadow rue was a love potion. It was given to a quarrelling couple. The Ojibwa and Potowatomi, for example, would secretly placed the seeds in the couple’s food to overcome the quarrelling. The seeds were applied in poultices to stop cramps. The roots of purple meadow rue (T. dasycarpum) has been used as a purgative and diuretic, being listed in the U.S. Dispensatory of 1916. An infusion of the root was used to reduce fevers in many tribes, especially the Ojibwa. The roots contain berberine, and therefore have uses somewhat similar to barberry and goldenseal. The root was chewed and swallowed to reduce phlegm, improve blood circulation, for heart palpitations, to stop diarrhea, vomiting and occasionally as a panacea." -From the wild rose school of natural healing. https://wildrosecollege.com/encyclopaedia_entry/meadow-rue/ #cascadianfolkmagic #esotericherbalism #folkmagic #lovemagic #lovepotion #witchcraft #witch #witches #rootwork #vgs #viridisgenii #viridisgeniisymposium #herbalmagic #occultherbalism #ethnobotanyofmagic
Glechoma hederacea is an aromatic, perennial, ever Glechoma hederacea is an aromatic, perennial, evergreen creeper of the mint family Lamiaceae. It is commonly known as ground-ivy, gill-over-the-ground, creeping charlie, alehoof, tunhoof, catsfoot, field balm, and run-away-robin. During our first Viridis genii symposium this plant was growing in the yard of the event center. It was the only plant I added during our Genii in a bottle group experience (as written about in verdant gnosis one). From that location I took a sample and have grown it at home in a pot ever since. It is blooming true today for the first time this season. This plant has severed us well, cutting through glamour and seeing true intentions. The deeper you develop your relationship with a plant the deeper and more you see in it's amazing potentials. Each plant worked with by the esoteric herbalist has so many dimensions to explore. It's been an honor and a privilege to get to know this plant over the years. I am grateful for its power and wisdom. #esotericherbalism #witchcraft #witch #witches #occultist #occultherbalism #ethnobotanyofmagic #herbalism #groundivy #plantalchemy #herbalsorcery

Trillium or wake robin was once used to infuse int Trillium or wake robin was once used to infuse into the handles of a Y shaped stick for the purpose of creating a wand for finding treasure. This plant is one of my personal favorites and synchronicity has it that as a child my grandmother who's association with the plant was christ and the holy trinity would give us a dime for every one we found (not picked). For us as children the finding of Wake Robin was itself a treasure and today the memories of such a treasures themselves. What family plant traditions do you keep?
