Testimonials
From the 2020 Ritual & Spell cohort
“It has definitely made me more aware of the magic in the simple things. Now my “cuppa tea“ has become a magical ritual.
Amanda’s knowledge & experience combined with her teaching style made the course excellent!
I am very grateful for the experience. I feel blessed!”
“I would certainly recommend the course to anyone that is interested in plant magic. It is literally for anyone at any level of their practice. I guarantee there will be something they can learn.”
“Learning new spells...that fucking WORK!
THANK YOU for one of the BEST courses I’ve EVER taken. Hands down.”
“I have been more mindful of setting aside time outside to connect and work with plants, and have noticed that I’ve had more success with self-care/acceptance/and patience with the path I am walking on to live the life I see for myself.
I feel the magic of my life purpose within me more often, and feel greater trust in my abilities.”
Imagine if you…
Spent the rest of your life doing exactly what you wanted to do — and not doing anything you don’t want to do.
Could shape the world around you so that it aligned with your desires.
Said “no” with ease.
imagine if life felt like something that you were creating, rather than something that happened to you.
what you get
The five pillars of potent spellcraft
Learn my method of enhancing your own innate power so that you can make magic that actually works.
a magical Exploration of seven witchy herbs
Go deep with seven witchy herbs* and learn how to connect with their magical personalities so that you can have a full team of plant allies to support and potentiate your magic.
*You may be wondering who the herbs are. Well, I’m not going to tell you. It’s a surprise.
a Deep connection with one plant ally
You’ll go extra deep with one herb, who will be your guide & mentor through this entire course. And once you connect this deeply with one plant, you’ll know how to connect with others, too.
instructions for starting your very own grimoire (that’s your book of spells)
Oh yeah. Did I mention that you’ll be starting a Grimoire (aka a Book of Shadows)? A Grimoire is the place where you’ll record your magical experiences and copy down the spells so that you can continuously build upon your learning and grow as a plant witch.
weekly spells — complete with recipes and instructions
Each week you’ll be guided through multiple spells, from the hands-on how-to’s to the energy and magic behind the spells. You’ll learn how to apply each spell to different goals & intentions so that by the end of this course you’ll know how to craft your own spells for anything that you desire.

more kind words…
from other Ritual &… courses
“The videos are so easy and pleasing to watch, I enjoy your voice, your personal anecdotes, your pacing, and visual consideration of the video frame space.”
“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!”
“It was incredibly empowering. This class strongly encourages that independent mindset of taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth.”
“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.”
Enrollment is now open.
“Honestly, it was all so well thought out and thorough. The videos, pdf’s, index recipe cards, portal conclusions, questions for reflections... I felt like each weeks content was presented beautifully. Amanda’s knowledge and stories about her own journey were special touches I enjoyed hearing.”
“The price seemed high because I knew there was a chance I would purchase and then not finish the course material—as I am a very airy fickle person. Now I know it was completely priceless and just what I needed at this time.”
“The video lessons were concise and to the point, with genuine instruction and guidance. There was no fluff, no filler. My time was respected and I truly learned far more than I expected in the short time of this course.”
“I had no idea what I was getting myself into! The simple yet powerful instructions on how to do a soul journey were enough to make the entire class worthwhile. And yet there was so much more material covered! All valuable, all life changing during my awakening. I thought I was only here to learn about smoking herbs, but it ended up being so much more than that.
”
“If you haven’t heard of Locust Light you need to check it out. Amanda is one of the smartest herbal teachers I have met. If you want to take a moment out of time and learn some new things about herbs that you will carry with you forever try a class at Locust Light!

Hi, I’m Amanda.
I help herbalists, witches, and wise-yet-stuck spiritual types to weave their life experience with a deeper understanding of spellcraft 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 these spells through a course will save you lots of time trudging through books and Instagram profiles.
And, when working with plants for magic, you've got to make the spells yourself or they won’t be very potent.
Once you've got these skills mastered, you won't be lured by watered-down herbal or magic books & teachings.
You'll impress your friends with your witchy skills and awesome spells (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 a spell for any need or desire.
You’ll feel alive with a sense of magic.
And you'll finally step into your power as a magic-making plant witch.
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 magical practice.
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 bowing to others’ authority.
You love reflective journaling and are open to spell-writing.
You look for any excuse to spend time at your altar..
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 like the current authority structures just fine as they are, thank you.
You don’t actually want to do the journal prompts, do deep self-reflection, or try your hand at spell-writing.
You’d rather read about magic than actually practice it.
You’re content to stick with a clinical understanding of herbs.
