#12: "Herbs are the Medicine of the People" with Leah Moth

“Love, Lust & Magick” is back on this day blessed by the Goddess of Love, to bring you an episode filled to the brim with earthly delights. I am joined by Leah Moth, Gemini creatrix, filmmaker, herbalist, artist and author of “The Botanicals Deck.” In this episode we get into the weeds of Leah’s connection to nature, and she begins the interview by sharing how she came to magick, witchcraft, and herbalism. Leah discusses her experience attending herbalism school and the reason she anthropomorphizes plants as she talks about them. Leah discusses what the spirits of plants and flowers can teach us, before diving into some of her current natural muses. Then Gabriela and Leah discuss Leah’s new oracle deck, “The Botanicals Deck”, what this was like to create, what it taught Leah about herself along the way, and some of her favorite plants and flowers that were featured in this offering. Leah shares simple ways to begin a conscious relationship with plant allies, using pleasure and each one of our senses to dive into their magick and mysticism. Leah shares about the ways aphrodisiacs affect our bodies, and how they can physically and energetically support our sensuality, eroticism, and hearts. The two wrap the interview by sharing about our current muses and inspiration, including how Leah’s botanical line “Plantimacy” feeds into her work as a filmmaker and ritual artist. Leah’s connection to the natural world, how she talks about plant spirits, and the way she lives her witchcraft and magick is such an inspiration. It was such a joy to have this conversation, and we hope it delights and inspires you.
