Working with Hedge Bindweed, Goldenrod, and Dandelion.
Some local plants I've been magically working with recently. PART I. For the past two years, a new location outside of New York City has forced me to move out of my comfort zone. While the new world offers us the opportunity to acquire almost any exotic herb or flower we're looking for completely online, I tend to romanticize (maybe a bit too much) the fieldwork. I mean, I grew up in the rainforest, cultivating, planting, and cutting our own ivy, vines, and flowers for magical uses and preparations. From how to properly dry and store different types of snakeskins according to their colors and various medicinal uses, to hand-preparing a bundle of ayahuasca in a couple of days, or a "sahumerio" (a bundle of dried plants to burn) with bejuco, flor del paraiso, and dreamcatchers (vines). Living in the USA allows you to purchase everything online, that's a new and different experience, now you have been over 10 years doing it, but nothing is more magical than work...
