What exactly makes a plant a “weed”?In Podcast 81 of Two Crones and a Microphone, Crone Linda and Crone Sally take another look at some of the plants we routinely pull, mow, or try to banish from our gardens—and the long history of people using those same plants as food, medicine, and teachers.Dandelion, cleavers, chamomile, mugwort, yarrow, jewelweed, plantain, mint, kudzu, and goldenrod all make an appearance as Linda and Sally explore the line between herbal helper and unwanted weed.They also talk about learning to identify plants safely, respecting the ecosystems we live within, and paying closer attention to the green world already growing around us.Your wisdom practice for this episode: Go meet a plant. Find something growing nearby that you might normally dismiss as a weed. Learn its name. Learn something about it.

A labyrinth is not a maze.There are no dead ends. No tricks. No wrong turns. Just one winding path inward, and one path back out again.In Episode 78, we talk about labyrinths as ancient tools for meditation, intuition, healing, sacred geometry, Earth wisdom, ceremony, and community. We share stories from Chartres Cathedral, Alaska, retreat centers, finger labyrinths, portable labyrinths, and a 150-foot mown grass labyrinth on Ohio farmland.Find a labyrinth. Walk it. Trace it. Dance it. Sit with it. Let the path do what paths do.Tell us what you think!

In this episode of 2 Crones and a Microphone, Linda, Betty, and Sally welcome Libby Clarke: podcast producer, designer, artist, teacher, seminarian, and lifelong grower.The conversation begins in Libby’s New Jersey yard, once a lawn and now a small food forest, and opens into something much larger: gardening as spiritual practice, relationship with place, food sovereignty, humility, seed saving, compost, worm bins, fertilizer tea, neighborhood connection, and the stubborn generosity of the earth.From champagne raspberries to mugwort, mustard seeds, chard, potatoes, elderberries, and one truly foul-smelling barrel of fertilizer tea, this episode invites listeners to stop treating gardening as a performance and start receiving it as a conversation.You do not need acres. You do not need perfection. You need a cup of dirt, a seed, and the willingness to begin.About Libby Libby Clarke is an artist, designer, teacher, podcast producer, seminarian, and Creative Director of Stoneroller Cooperative. Her work brings together faith, creativity, accessibility, community, and justice. She lives in New Jersey, where her small yard has become a food forest, a neighborhood conversation starter, and an ongoing spiritual practice.WebsitesStoneroller Cooperativestonerollercoop.comLibby Clarke / Creative Worklibbyclarke.comEverloving Prideeverlovingpride.orgTell us what you think!
