Herbs as Psychopomps

Change and transition is what happens to us when we enter the underworld. Plants can be allies during a transformational time, becoming psychopomps or underworld guides. A helpful being, whether deity, animal or plant, can be a guide through the journey of the many little deaths and rebirths that are lived in one lifetime.

In the article I wrote for Botanical Anthology, Autumn Vol. 4, you’ll read about plants as transitional allies for your life and get a recipe for the Hedgecrosser Elixir, featuring herbs from the Rosacea family: hawthorn, raspberry, and of course, rose.
