Wyrtcræft • Level Two • Plants & Practices 

After completing Level One, you’re ready to move on the the second in a three-part program on the wisdom, magic, and medicine of Wortcunning.

In this course we get to the heart of ancient herbal practices and begin exploring and experiencing the mysteries of our green allies. We’ll connect with plants, historical texts, traditions and rituals, and the core expressions of Wortcunning to craft a personal practice that brings together heart, voice, hands, and allies.

Level Two is the most intense of the three levels in that we cover a profound amount of information and also create space for many personal and direct experiences with the work. We try our best to honor and engage with the traditional ways of apprenticeship which is a truly powerful way to learn and embody.

Level Two covers herbs, body systems, magic, medicine crafting, assessment and protocols, and so much more!

Our next session of Wortcunning Level Two begins…
