Spring equinox fire ceremony with women… a special cacao ceremony with my witchy friend …new moon in Pisces. All the energy of the mystic healer , the priestess and the old ways. Transformative energy , releasing the old and making way for the new. Spring nettles and spring garlic popping up. The cherry blossoms are in bloom. This page has gone from swallowtail apothecary to milk and honey cafe / apothecary to village herbalist. Transformation from my apothecary on Anderson st at the UFF in Portland Maine to my space on cove st at Milk & Honey where I brewed herbal potions and wines, fed out beautiful food and held my classes , herb fest and apprenticeships. Now I’m in Amsterdam , still a village herbalist here in this cozy lovely city. Growing and making plant magic. Feeling so much in a new transformed phase of my life with my silver and grey hair and all that I hold. Coming back to myself after so many years of the full nurturer and holder of the full experience of Mother Earth energy. Such beautiful steps through life. Being present in each one is such a gift.
Our name Pignatello means little pine cone , or little pot in Italian. I love that I can bring the pine tree energy along from Maine in my name. happy spring whether you’re here in the Netherlands or back in Maine , NYC and all of my other ❤️places xx lauren littlepine 🌲
