Todd Elliott — Kentucky farmer, Reiki master, Druid, and author of The Cunning Farmer — joins us to talk about what happens when you stop separating farm work from spirit work.
We cover how he consults the land spirits and ancestors on his own farm, how he uses Reiki to send healing into land that's been traumatized by violence and destruction, what he learned from a pilgrimage to the astronomically-aligned earthworks of the Adena and Hopewell cultures in southern Ohio, and how he actually times planting (and magic) to the moon's movement through the zodiac signs. We also dig into harder questions: reconciling ancestral Christianity with pagan and animist practice, telling authentic tradition apart from "fakelore," working ethically with entheogenic and baneful plants, and whether every forest deserves to be treated as a sacred grove.
If you believe the land is alive and listening, this conversation is for you.
