Introducing: One Willow Apothecaries

December 3, 2012June 19, 2021

Today is one of those days that will stick out, alive and vibrant, in my mind forever. After over a year of writing, developing, photographing, and exploring I have pushed my small boat out into the harbor– One Willow Apothecaries has launched! Over a year ago, the idea first appeared in the high meadows…

Herbally Healing Bronchitis // sick days & making syrup

February 28, 2012June 18, 2021

So, I got bronchitis last week. On Sunday I suddenly felt a damp bog settle into my chest. Monday the cough began and Tuesday the fever set in. The rest of the week was spent bemoaning my existence and grappling with the three-headed dog of misery that is respiratory illness (as well as trying to…

You are allowed to claim your own sovereignty.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ In Celtic tradition a sovereign’s power was thought to be given to them by the land. It was only through marriage to the landscape that a ruler accessed their power.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The same is true for us.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Every time you connect to your own inner landscape, you come back into your power.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The terrain that is the bedrock of who you are waits for you, will never forsake you, is here to remind you who you truly are.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ So whenever you need to this season, take a step away from the outer world and access the earth of your own world.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Because your connection to your own inner terrain is how your remember the truth of your power.​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ 📷 by @elizabellphotography
Reality is malleable. It shapeshifts around us all Reality is malleable. It shapeshifts around us all the time. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Every time you feel stuck or lost or alone, there is always a way to touch the rainbow bending beyond the dead end of this moment— gratitude.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Gratitude isn’t just a heartwarming practice of giving thanks, it’s a tool for reality creation.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ When we focus on what we’re grateful for in our life, we literally rewire our brains to see the goodness that is always reaching out to us. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ We reorient to the light streaming in through the corner of our lives. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ And our experience of reality itself changes. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ When you can find gratitude within all things, even hardship, the reality of who you are comes into focus— a being who has the ability to create the life of their dreams.
Just in case you need it, here’s full permission Just in case you need it, here’s full permission to go as slow as you need this season… To curl around a hot cup of tea and sink into a bewitching novel. To bundle in woolens and watch the stars sharpen in the sky. To make time for hot baths and long meals and stretching like a cat by the fireside. Because slowness is where the magic happens, and there is so much magic waiting for you this wintertime. . . Our slow holiday sale ends tonight! Use the code “celebrateslow” at checkout to get 20% off your entire order. If you’re like me, and are feeling called to more slowness this December, here’s a reminder that you can cross some gifts off your list tonight. Nab a bottle of earth magic for a friend, or gift yourself a class to listen to while you sit by the fire’s light.
Real magic takes time... and a lot of it. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The most brilliant things on earth are usually eons in the making. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Like crystals growing in the deep, the biggest miracles often form far beneath the surface, and need a long fertile stretch of darkness before they can come to light. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ As we enter into this season of miracles, magic and candlelight, it’s good to remember that slowness is usually the missing ingredient to real enchantment.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ So if you are feeling the need to slow down, rest, take a breath, or pause today... do it. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Let yourself be like a crystal resting in the earth’s darkness, and know the slowness of your own formation is a part of the earth’s wider magic.​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ .​​​​​​​​ And if you’re looking to set aside some time for slowness this December, check out our early holiday sale, and get ✨ 20% off *everything* with the code “celebrateslow” ✨ ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ (We even have custom gift certificates, for that one tough-to-buy-for friend!) ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The sale ends tomorrow @ 10 pm EST
The cold has slowed the creek outside my house. Th The cold has slowed the creek outside my house. The sun takes its time to rise. The garden is quiet and the pines are growing imperceptibly on the hillside. Every winter, as the holiday season begins its warm parade of social gatherings and lights, I make a pact with myself—this year, I’m going to let myself be as slow as I desire. I’ll be as slow as the morning frost melting off the eaves. Slow as the sun moving over the winter horizon. It is healing to give yourself permission to move at a pace that feels most cozy to your animal body—and it’s *always* where the magic happens. In celebration of the Earthen call to slow down, we’re running our annual holiday sale early this year—so we can all embrace the pace we most yearn for this season. ✨Use the code “celebrateslow” at checkout to get 20% off your entire order until November 23rd.✨ May these long nights be marked by the scent of cinnamon, candlelight and deep peace in your world, dear one.
The old knots are breaking. The ones that closed o The old knots are breaking. The ones that closed our hearts to the sacredness of all things. The ones that have created a tangle of production, profit, and oppression that is too big, too unwieldy, too unnatural to survive. The old knots are breaking, and a more ancient pattern is arising. One that the first human beings copied from the stones and skies themselves. One that sung, over and over again, the same truth: “we are all connected, we are all precious." We are the beginning of a powerful transformation, and the dreams you hold for your life—the ones the honor the slow, the small and the sacred connectedness of all things—are the threads with which it will be woven. What dreams are calling to you these days? Share in the comments below, so we can start a new tapestry together. . . 📷 of the brilliant @sylviavlinsteadt, weaver of words
