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.

The Viridis Genii Symposium would also like to add

The Viridis Genii Symposium would also like to add the following to this sentiment:
Within some animist societies there are plants that are considered 'teachers' which also means guru. Terrance McKenna was a proponent of meeting plants that are teachers within this animist perspective and relating to them as such. Human teachers are venerable and wonderful, but McKenna in this quote, we believe, was pointing out that the vegetal teachers are our wisest elders on this planet. If one relates to them as thus, one will find that this is true. There is no older teacher to humans than the teacher plant.

Deserving a repost.

Right before we recieved Brandon's proposal I was

Right before we recieved Brandon's proposal I was chatting with friends and mentioned that there needed to be a good look at purgaives in folk magic and folk medicine. And low nit but a few days after we receive this wonderful workshop proposal! "Methods of Purifying the Body and Soul in Ozark Folk Healing
Working off of themes presented in the lecture, we will be looking at the three major methods of magical cleansing and purifying in Ozark traditional healing: water, fire, and emetics. Water includes washing the body in herbal mixtures chosen for their quality to remove malign curses. In this section participants will be able to assemble their purifying bath mixtures. Fire and smoke uses traditional Ozark fumigants like red cedar, tobacco, and asafetida. Participants will learn proper methods of Ozark fumigation as well as take home some smoking plants of their own. And with emetics and purgatives we will look at gentle purging plants like sassafras, often mixed with soothing plants like horsemint or catnip. Participants will learn a simple and non-vomit inducing cleansing ritual and be able to take home a sassafras drink mixture of their own. Other methods covered by the workshop include: tying off curses with string, counting down rituals, sweeping off hexes with a broom, and more." https://www.viridisgenii.com/brandon-weston/

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?
