Winter harvest! Got a little gift from some pine trees at the nature playground today. I was sure to leave plenty behind for the trees, but I still came away with a pretty good amount. I wasn’t prepared to carry home a sticky ball of sap, but it smells amazing, and rubbing a little oil on my fingers cleaned me up without too much fuss. Im thinking I’ll make it into all into salve this weekend. I'll let y'all know how it turns out! . . . #winterforaging #freeflowingsap #wintergifts #plantmagic #greenwitch #naturemagic (at Staunton, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wjGE-nBU-/?igshid=muften3wxrdg

I have always had such an affection for black cottonwood trees and now that I’ve learned to use their buds as medicine, I am even more in love. Last year I infused several oils with the sticky bud and added it to a wonderful salve that has really saved my poor overworked wrists. These buds come at the perfect time, right when winter is dragging on and I want nothing more than to be picking spring flowers. I’ve made a brief video describing my harvesting practices and how to find these trees. Check out my channel in my profile if you are interested. One of the best parts about these pungent buds is that you can literally just pick them up off the ground. Winter wind storms make for an abundant harvest. Low effort, super sustainable, and by the time you get home your hands are covered in the fragrant resin. #blackcottonwood #blackcottonwoodbuds #foraging #wildmedicine #winterforaging #pnw #pnwforaging #forageyourownmedicine #natureprovides https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWa5cPF2Ia/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1he131w5b5kxy

Trust in the trees my Grandmother said for they are the only ones who truly shelter you, warm you and tend to your ails rather they be physical or spiritual~Ruby🌲 Full moon magick and the lessons my Grandmother taught me are one of the things I'm most grateful for💜 Here is Patoosway, Whole Vanilla Bean and an Apache tear in an oil infusion. This will be a powerful infusion of serious spiritual protection, root deep grounding, negative energy reflection while drawing in love. How so? Patoosway is a very strong medicine traditionally used by the inland tribes of the NW it only grows at very high elevation. It is used in sweat lodge to chase out bad energy, negative thoughts and some serious nasty spirits. Vanilla bean pulls in love and a full heart. Apache tears may have a sad history but their power is so so very potent. They are a type of Black Obsidian, but they have a more friendly vibration than some of the other types of Obsidian. They are strong stone for grounding and protection, and to aid you to clear negative emotions that may be holding you back. #she_is_of_the_woods #moonmagic #moonmedicine #hedgewitch #strongmedicine #itsmellsamazing #plantwitch #grandmothersmedicine #wisewomantradition #wisewoman #wildwoman #wildcrafting #greenwitch #crystalmagic #winterforaging #witchcraft #witchy #witches #infusedoil #witchesofthenw #witchesofig #instawitch #witchesofinstagram #magick #magic #crystal #treemagic #forestwitch
