Embracing the Darkness

Embracing the Darkness

The time of year stretching from Sahmain to Winter Solstice is a dark and often intense time, as the seasons of light turn to seasons of dark. The nights are growing longer, and the dark evenings come early. I so treasure the darkness this time of year and the quiet it brings.

Showing Gratitude to the Plant Spirits

We give deep gratitude to the Spirits of the plants who have inspired and blessed us over the years. As our allies, you have woven into our lives, our allies, our hearts–chickweed, dandelion, hawthorne, nettles, burdock, yarrow, and many more dear friends!

Why It Matters Who Makes Your Herbal Products: Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Red Moon Herbs!

Why It Matters Who Makes Your Herbal Products: Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Red Moon Herbs!

Our focus on fresh, local, abundant plant material continues to set Red Moon Herbs apart, and while we’ve always been local, today we are even more so. When Red Moon Herbs moved to Earthaven Ecovillage 12 years ago, we actively encouraged and cultivated those previously wildcrafted “weeds” at our back door. Today, thanks to those efforts, the vast majority of our herbal allies are regularly harvested on site. This is as local as local gets!

May Day

May Day

May Day is the half-way point between the spring equinox and summer solstice. It is the time that marks the greening of the earth and the move into greater abundance and fertility. All around flowers are beckoning us and insects are pollinating.

Return of the Spring Maiden

Return of the Spring Maiden

For many in the Northern Hemisphere, February can be a harsh and bitter month. It is often cold and dreary. Yet at the same time, small but sturdy signs of new life begin to appear: lambs are born, ravens build their nests, days get softly longer, and the earth begins to be tilled.

The Beneficial Powers of Honey

The Beneficial Powers of Honey

The bee is a symbol of the potency of nature. Like its human counterpart, it is attracted to a plant by its fragrant, colorful flower. The more beautiful the flower, the better chance it has of getting pollinated. In this symbiotic relationship, the plants grow, the world is beautified, and the bee gathers nectar from which it creates the sweet elixir of life – honey!
