Spring has officially sprung and, in spite of this Wood Snake Year’s attempts to kill the vibe, it just can’t kill the color, beauty and magic of the May Flowers bursting from the ground— largely thanks to those fantastic April showers, as the old saying goes.
So, I decided it was high time to tap the incredible community of clients, collaborators and friends around our work here at TOTEM and The Skeptical Shaman podcast to bring all of us something we very much need: the healing, uplifting and grounding energy of flowers!
In this video, I chat with the incredible AJ Goodwin about her incredible hydroponic project, her recent discovery that lettuce grows edible flowers, and what TOTEM Flower Essence Deck cards happen to pop out just for her today!
Speaking of the TOTEM Flower Essence cards I pulled for AJ, here they are (in detail) for your reference as you follow along:
