On this Easter Sunday, herbalist and Celtic seasonal guide Brenda Sullivan invites you into the quiet of early morning — before the world wakes, before the day begins — to explore the oldest layers of this beloved threshold holiday. In this special 50-minute episode, Brenda weaves together the ancient story of Eostre, the dawn goddess of the spring threshold, with the remarkable astronomy of Easter itself — including the Full Moon that set its date just three days ago — and the healing herbs that are pushing up through the April soil right now, offering their medicine to anyone willing to bend down and look. You'll discover why Easter has always been anchored to the moon, meet the bitter herbs of spring (dandelion, burdock, wild lettuce, and parsley) as teachers of clearing and renewal, and sit with the tender herbs (violet, chickweed, and cleavers) as companions for the softer work of opening after a long winter. This episode is for every woman standing at her own threshold this spring — whether you celebrate Easter, honor the Celtic Wheel, or simply came here for the herbs and the stillness. 🌿 Herbs & Favorite Tools (affiliate links — thank you for supporting this work) Herbs featured in this Show: 1.
