This really resonated with me! I love learning about and working with plants and also find the folk history and uses interesting, but the term witch just doesn't feel right to me, for whatever reason. Probably won't walk around calling myself a wort cunner, but the practice you describe feels exactly right. Nettle is the plant I'm focusing on building a relationship with right now, but am always trying to stay curious about everything around me!
Another timely and most excellent post Laura. I have been completely out of sorts for the last 10 days due to the large machines digging into the earth and the tree cutting that is happening next door to our apartment building. It’s breaking my heart. I recently planted herbs in pots in my little one bedroom apartment and I just sit with them and touch them and talk to them. I am going to wait awhile before doing any harvesting though. I just want to let them exist as they are. I wish there was something I could do for the fallen trees and the land. Any advice would be most welcome 🙏🏻

I thought I would find it really hard to convince people to call themselves ‘worters’ 😂
Totally understand, sometimes having no ‘title’ is really freeing! 🤍
