Here’s to living as well as we can this year. Let’s pull those dreams off the shelf, dust off the excuses move towards the life we want.

Keep each other free, inspired, and safe.

Knock on wood? What are you even doing?

This is for the ladies. But also if you love one and want to understand her mysteries better. We talk a great deal about pms how to to mitigate it. But what if we remembered another way? Searched way back in the strands of our dna?

This is a time when we are open and sensitive to the energies of others. We are vulnerable yet powerful. We need tender care from ourselves and others. We need not to be around crowds or to be taking care of life’s trivial issues which end up in frustration and irritability. We feel these things because we are in a different space during this time and overwhelm can happen quickly in the outside world.

This is a time to care for yourself. Wrap yourself in warm blankets, sit by a fire, let the darkness envelop you. Try to have as little stimulation as possible.
All around this world, throughout time cultures in tune had moon lodges or menstrual lodges where women would go during this time.


Darkess, fire, quiet. This is where we discover our strength. We come back to our heart, (our hearth) the source of strength inside each of us. The powerhouse of our blood. The center of our extrasensory perception. This is where we find our power and inspiration to keep going. This is very opposite of the complaints I hear from so many women, with many actually having suicidal thoughts this time of month when they force themselves into a lifestyle that does not make space for this special time we visit every single month.

When you feel yourself getting agitated or weepy, retreat. Tend to your inner fire. Gather yourself at your heart(h) and learn how to truly nourish yourself. Build your blood and enrich your inner world.


I have been learning the ways in which plants can assist us during our cycle and have begun growing many herbs which I will be offering to you in a tea blend next season. I’m grateful to be able to steward this land that the free peoples once lived on and loved and to have the opportunity to work with the plants for the next season of repairing our ripped relations with the earth.

Fort Hill Earthworks in Ohio. Long ago, these lands held civilizations which constructed many of these hilltop enclosures and enormous geometric earthworks aligned with celestial events such as equinox and solstice sunrises and the risings of certain stars.
We walk on sacred, mysterious lands still holding stories and secrets.

Just for fun 😊. This was going to be a Halloween short but I didn’t finish it in time so figure I’d share on this week of bitter weather for ya’ll.
I’ve been having so much fun during the growing off-season hunting legends with friends, fam, and taking sweet little solos entering the deeper spaces.

Seip earthworks, where the Princess of Pearls was found, interred on a bed of pearls surrounded with treasure and so much death. Copper plays a significant role here as it did with many ancient sites across the lands.
This area, now Amish country, was once home to a vast empire of people who built precise geometric shapes out of earth for reasons unknown to the modern world.

Alright, time for an official explanation about just what Mythic Roots actually is, was, and will be.
I was an early childhood teacher for 15 years, working in mostly Waldorf inspired outdoor classrooms. My role in the schools was always The Storyteller.

I began farming in 2020 after finding the perfect little cottage in the most sacred area in the mountains. It was here that I dove fully into what has moved me since childhood. Herbal medicines, growing magical gardens, writing, and exploring the myths and stories that are ingrained in the land. The tales that inhabit the rivers and rocks and old forests. The legends regarding the ancient world we tread on.

And so, it is here that it all comes together. Centered around the earth. Ive begun crafting salves and anointing oils again in small batches and will add new products as inspiration comes. Next season, my gardens will expand and a mini herb farm will be planted on my land. I plan on providing medicinal herbs and edible flowers locally, my medicines will still be available shipped and there will be yummy surprises in my little farm stand that we are building!
I am also working on several writing projects that you will be hearing about as they begin to develop into finished pieces.
Stay tuned!

The Miamisburg Mound near my hometown in Ohio; what they found inside and the giant bones they discovered nearby

In 1621, colonists invited Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoags, to a feast after a recent land deal. Massasoit came with ninety of his men. That meal is why we still eat a meal together in November. Celebrate it as a nation. But that one wasn’t a thanksgiving meal. It was a land deal meal. Two years later there was another, similar meal, meant to symbolize eternal friendship. Two hundred Indians dropped dead that night from supposed unknown poison.
In 1637, anywhere from four to seven hundred Pequot were gathered for their annual green corn dance. Colonists surrounded the Pequot village, set it on fire, and shot any Pequot who tried to escape. The next day the Massachusetts Bay Colony had a feast in celebration, and the governor declared it a day of thanksgiving. “Thanksgivings” like these happened everywhere, whenever there were, what we have to call: successful massacres. At one such celebration in Manhattan, people were said to have celebrated by kicking the heads of Pequot people through the streets like soccer balls.

Our culture is lost. I wonder what percentage of people here are on medications just to make it to the next day. Our forests cut, rivers polluted, air filled with smog, food sprayed with chemicals the insects won’t touch, taxed for everything under the sun.I wonder what would happen if we shifted focus a little each day. What did the land we are on look like before colonizers? What did the peoples eat? How did they tend the land? What did living closer to the elements feel like in their bodies, minds, and hearts? What can we learn from the last peoples to live free in these lands, who lived in communion with all life? Where are their descendants and how are they faring in this ridiculous circus of a society we have created? Would they like to be included in stewarding lands again? Would they like to share their stories?

I encourage you to spend some moments tomorrow contemplating the land you are on. Are you in gratitude for being here? Are there any vestiges of the past nearby? Stories? Spirits? Do the children know?
