The Mother Herbal
photos by Suzanne Bateman
The Mother Herbal is a year long project dedicated to the myths, rituals and spiritual folklore associated with the eight seasons, as described by the Celtic Wheel of the Year. The idea is to cultivate a relationship with the seasonal shifts, befriend these cycles and glean their wisdom to live a more connective life.
My name is Emeline, and I’ve had many different lives.
I’ve owned a brick and mortar store, taught and practiced interior design, offered creative coaching, and sold paintings- to name a few iterations.
Though the medium has changed, the through-line has always been the same: creativity as birthright, motherhood as the ultimate teacher, and the power of a connection to nature.
Every six weeks or so, you can expect a personal essay, a link to a zine, some artwork, herbalism deep dives and journaling prompts.
You can check out past issues over here.
May you find something here that sparks something.
May you find the permission to follow your own curiosity.
May you reawaken to your creative birthright.
May you orbit around the warm sun of your heart and know its beauty.
Blessings,
