The Intersection of Lore & Gnosis
on the Plant Spirit Path
We are blessed with a wealth of folklore, myth, story, and practice surrounding plant spirit work handed down from our collective ancestors… but how do we reconcile what has been done with what the plants inspire us to do now? In this immersive and approachable workshop, I’ll give you insights on how to hold ancestral plant wisdom in one hand while honoring your own green experiences in the other. This is an essential class for those who love leaning on the lore of old in their modern wortcunning practices.
Learn how to connect with ancient plant lore handed down from the herbalists and plant spirit workers of old while living fully in the here and now.
Explore the ways of personal green gnosis and how the plants continue to teach us in ways that are relevant to who and where we are.

Plant Lore & Green Gnosis
On the plant spirit path we talk about two primary sources for our green wisdom. The first is the existing plant lore that has survived the ages in the form of folk tales, stories, recipes, and more. The second comes in the form of what we learn directly from the plants through our sorcerous work with them. Many people struggle with finding harmony between the things learned and the things experiences; what is ancient and what is happening in the moment. In this class, we’ll explore both lore and gnosis and find ways to respect and nourish them both in our plant spirit journeys.
We’ll use examples of celebrated plant lore to help us clarify the ways in which what we inherit from the ancestors can be blended beautifully with the revelations given to us by the plants- all while having the profound realization that the plants have always been teaching us and continue to teach us now.
This is an essential class for those who enjoy reading plant lore and established materia medica but who also do deeper personal work with the plant spirits in the form of journeys, sits, and rituals. By the end of the class you’ll have the inspiration and confidence you need to hold lore in one hand and gnosis in the other in a harmonious way.
The Intersection of Lore & Gnosis
“I had spent many years studying herbalism. Went to various schools, completed a variety of programs etc. I learned a lot and appreciated it all…..but there was always this hollow place within me which was holding space for something missing. That something missing was an actual connection with the plants themselves. I would read and hear about people sitting with plants, talking to them, making offerings to them. But I just couldn’t connect with that. I would go outside, sit on a chair amongst the trees and flower—and nothing. That all changed when I started taking classes with Josh. He provided the materials and inspiration I needed to create a framework in which I could work towards building relationships with plants. And it worked, and my world was changed forever. I can’t give enough praise to the courses he offers. They are life changing and are unlike any I have ever come across before.”
