Hey friends, this is the Medicine Stories Podcast, episode 4. I'm Amber Magnolia Hill and I'm really glad you're here. Today's interview is

super inspiring and multi-layered. I talk with Asia Suler, an herbalist writer and teacher based in North Carolina.

Asia's business is called One Willow apothecaries. You can find her by searching for that term. She has some of the most

amazing resources available in her website, online courses, really in depth, blog posts, and a whole lot of just amazing

amazing sources for anyone who's on the plant path or wishes to be. In today's episode we talk about how Asia's full name is, as she put it,

a pretty perfect etymology of what I ended up doing with my life. We talk about journaling to

ancestral lands and how the ancestors are literally in the land. The fabric of

the other world, the limits of our senses, atomic the

limits of our senses, atomic space, the playground of consciousness, and dark matter.

We talk about dream visitations from the dead.

Angelica, a visionary plant that opens portals of imagination and

helps with releasing trauma and coming into our bodies.

Rayshi as a psychedelic and the untapped potential of the subtle layers of meaning.

Asia's encounter with a creepy dude in the woods, the whole Me Too movement,

and how being a nice girl is no longer a good evolutionary

strategy for keeping us safe. And then we close by talking about ghostpipe as a

tool for releasing ghosts and other things.

So I really love this conversation because it kind of goes in so many directions

and the triad of plants, well one is a fungus that we talk about are so powerful.

Ghost Pipe, Raishi, and Angelica.

I'm thinking someone out there really needs to put together like a killer herbal

formula that includes the three would be really awesome multidimensional medicine.
