more kind words…
“This course opened up a whole world of herbs that has intrigued me but I didn’t know where to begin or how to incorporate magical practices in daily life. I’ve noticed a shift in honoring plants and becoming more aware of moon cycles and seasons. I have found an intuitive state to pause and respect subtle earthly and emotional changes.”
“It was incredibly empowering. This class strongly encourages that independent mindset of taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth.”
“I felt like you made it so comfortable and welcoming to play with herbs. Add a bit of this and a bit of that, make it feel like your own. I LOVED that. As someone who sells herbal preparations, it’s all numbers/weights/batch numbers so this allowed me to really explore plants in a way I was not used to!”
“I can’t believe how Ritual and Potion has set me upon my Herbal study journey. It was so perfect as my first introduction because all the recipes were not intimidating, I felt successful with every one of them, and I became a new, higher level of inspired each lesson because you made the plants feel both accessible and infinite. ”
You could…
…spend a few thousand dollars on herbal courses
…scour the internet for magical books that actually offer substance, not fluff
… try to find a magical teacher who will personally guide you through your journey
… work to weave together the blend of herbalism & magic & ritual that offers the transformation you desire
Or you could join me on a 7-week journey that will teach you all this for, well, way less money and time.
Simply put, this material is not gathered in this way anywhere else. This course compiles years of clinical herbal study, medicine-making, magic-making, and ritual craft. It will give you a fresh perspective on herbs you might already know, and it will introduce you to herbs that are rarely covered in herbalism courses. It is a truly unique way to begin or expand your herbal practice.

Hi, I’m Amanda.
I help herbalists, witches, and wise-yet-stuck spiritual types to weave their life experience with a deeper understanding of potions and plant magic so that they can step into the full force of their power and live in this world exactly as they want to in a confident, courageous and demanding way.
I’ve been working with plants for years, first as a veggie farmer, then as an herb farmer and medicine-maker, until I switched to teaching full-time in 2017.
Locust Light Farm is both a physical space — the Apothecary Garden — and an online space in which we honor the Wheel of the Year, celebrate the seasons, and connect with the magic & medicine of the plant world.
Unforeseen benefits to taking this course:
Frankly, learning to make herbal medicines yourself will save you a lot of money.
And -- if you are working with herbs for magic -- you've got to make them yourself or they won't be very potent (unless they were gifted to you)
Once you've got these skills mastered, you won't be lured by watered-down herbal or magic books or teachings
You'll impress your friends with your witchy skills and awesome potions (or scare away those family members you never liked anyway!)
You'll start making rituals out of every small task
But you'll definitely start using ritual to live your life with deep intention
Confidently craft an herbal potion for any need or desire
You'll feel alive with a sense of magic
You'll step into your power as a magic-making plant witch
You’ll be connected to your purpose, and empowered with plant magic — you’ll be unstoppable!
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF:
You’re scared of your power -- and that thrills you. You’re ready to dive in.
You’re tired of meandering around your purpose, not knowing what to grasp onto.
You love reflective journaling and are eager to spend time in ritual.
You look for any excuse to mix up teas and goodies in your kitchen.
You like your magic to be hands-on.
You love herbs -- and are curious about their magical personalities.
THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
You’re scared of your power -- and you want to stay where you are.
You know exactly where you’re headed and how to get there.
You don’t actually want to do the journal prompts, do deep self-reflection, or try your hand at potion-making.
You’d rather read about magic than actually practice it.
You’re content to stick with a clinical understanding of herbs.
