Full Show Notes at TheRestlessWitch.com This is a re-release of a previous Patreon-Exclusive from a couple years ago! In this episode, we'll chat about quite a few topics related to cannabis.

In this short episode, I talk through coming up the card placements for this month's Patreon tarot spread. It's  early spring, which means it's Spring ephemeral time! Spring ephemerals bring out a LOT of foragers, new and experienced alike. And with the huge spike in popularity this year, it got me thinking about responsible foraging and how we might apply the same lessons to our own lives.

In the Bleak Midwinter, based on the poem A Christmas Carol by Christina Rosetti, composed by Gustav Holst, lyrics adapted by Laura Deal Raeder.  In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind makes moan. Earth stands hard as iron, water like a stone. Snow has fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter, it is ever so. Darkness now surrounds us as the nights grow long, Yet we fill the night time with our hopeful song. Winter’s cold won’t reach us here, where we light our fire, As we burn the old year on its funeral pyre. Now the new year beckons, even in this night. Soon the days will lengthen, and our hearts grow light. Hope will grow within us as we look ahead, And we see that spring wakes out of winter’s bed. Light will follow darkness, as the earth turns round, Sunlight follows moonlight, thawing frozen ground. So our lives renew with every dawning day, And with every new year, blue skies follow gray.

Happy Halloween, Bright Samhain and Merry Spook Season! Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and owlet's wing. For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
