🎉I’m so excited for you all to see my new web

🎉I’m so excited for you all to see my new website next month! @cynthiaoswalddesign and I have been working on it all summer and it’s looking absolutely gorgeous as it comes together. I love working with her because not only does she really understand my vision and bring it to life so beautifully, she’s also a small, woman-owned business and a mom- just like me. She gets my hustle!
.
🌸The new motherhylde.com will be a central place for you to find my herbal products, schedule bodywork with me, purchase the folkwear I make, sign up for the course I wrote with @sharonblackiemythmakings , and read my Journal where I’ll post herbal recipes, wildcrafting adventures, and other trials, tribulations, musings, and meanderings of a green witch.
.
📣I’ll be announcing a special promo to celebrate the launch in my next newsletter (due out just before Autumn Equinox), but I’m not sure what that looks like yet. Not already a subscriber? Go to the linktree in my bio to sign up! New subscribers always get a 10% off code to my apothecary delivered right to their inbox. 📥
.
📸Here’s a sneak peek of some images I took that will be on the new site. 👀

My massage book is a little light this week (holler at me if you’re hurting!), so I was able to complete another custom stays order yesterday. I’m OBSESSED with the botanical fabric on this one and I’ll be making one for myself with it at some point. This one also has some really sweet vintage flower lace on the front boning channels. This one is waay too small for me or I’d absolutely be modeling it!
.
I’m currently closed for customs but I have a few ready-to-wear stays in my shop. ✨Link in bio✨

I was just having a cozy chat last night with my s

I was just having a cozy chat last night with my sweetheart about the intersection of science and woo (in lots of things but particularly with herbs), and how sometimes things are just absolutely magical without needing a logical reason and seem to come from a place beyond. Then we got to talking about hawthorn, the practical and energetic medicine of hedges, Heres and Theres, the Otherworld, and piercing the veil. Many of my formulas come to me from this “beyond” place and are a blend of science + woo. They often strike me like a bolt of lightning, stopping me in my tracks, and I have to step aside, quiet myself, and let it fully reveal itself to me (yes, I’m speaking about more than just herbal formulas here).
.
Anam Cara (Irish for “soul friend”) heart opening cordial (“cordial” meaning “of the heart”) is one of those formulas that work partly because of the science behind the herbs, but also because of their energetic magic. It supports our physical heart and helps us to stay open to making and strengthening heart connections. The formula itself is full of plants that typically reside in hedgerows, it came to me from a place beyond, and helps us to step outside the noise of the world to get into our heartspaces… It’s truly hedge medicine.
.
Sometimes the heart connections we make defy logic and common understanding in the same way but make complete magical sense to the hearts involved. 😉💕
.
So my little piece of advice for you today is to stay open to receiving magic however it shows up in your life.
.
As always, link to shop in bio if you need a bottle of Anam Cara in your life (I’m pretty sure you do).♥️

Just finished these stays for @selkie_sanctuary and I couldn’t resist trying them on myself! She’s one of those online friends who I only know digitally but if we lived closer, I know we’d be conjuring all kinds of magic together.
.
I have a few ready-to-wear stays in my shop (link in bio), and am currently closed for custom orders. I might open up to take a few customs in another month or so.
.
People often ask me how and when I wear my stays and I always answer “Whenever I feel like it!” I’ve wildcrafted in them, made medicine in them, made other stays in them, done some writing while wearing them, even vacuumed in them. They look just as good over a long skirt or dress as they do paired with your favorite jeans. And every one is fully reversible!

You guys. Goldenrod. I can’t stop smelling it. I

You guys. Goldenrod. I can’t stop smelling it. It’s delightful. Go get you some to smell because guess what- you’re most likely not allergic to it! Goldenrod’s pollen is way to heavy to be airborne and it doesn’t even produce very much to begin with. It propagates mostly by the roots running to create clonal colonies. Why do people blame goldenrod for their fall allergies then? Because it blooms at the same time ragweed does, whose flowers are much less conspicuous but produce copious amounts of airborne pollen. Goldenrod and ragweed are actually used in herbal medicine to help with seasonal allergies! I work with it in my Allergy Re-Leaf formula, as a simple (single plant extract), as an infused honey, and infused in oil as an analog for arnica. It’s also part of my Spiced Apple digestive bitters, and I’ve used it in a pinch as a vulnerary/styptic on a badly scraped up toe. The latex in the stem was also once used to make tires on early cars!
.
Also, I’m working away trying to create new photos and content for my new website. I went around the house and gathered some of my most beloved items to put photos together and I thought the basket itself looked so beautiful and witchy.
.
Also also, I kneeled in elderberries and my foot is a most lovely shade of purple now.
