Today, on Mary Assumption, I'm releasing a special episode featuring the full story of how I was called to the plants by Mother Mary. It's all about the mythical unfolding of my path towards my calling. May this story bring you reassurance that we are all guided along the way and that our calling cannot be missed. Our path, as painful as it may be at times, is the one we're on right now, and the beauty comes when you begin to see the meaning and the threads connecting it all. SHOW NOTES In this episode, I share about: - the meaning of my given name, Anna Matuschka, and why I chose to use it for this episode - how I was introduced to Mother Mary and Anna, grandmother of Jesus, as my guides - Mary Assumption and the celebration of flowers and the bounty of life - my pilgrimages to Maria Kirchental, a pink church in Austria devoted to Mother Mary - how Mother Mary encouraged me to pursue my interest in plants - bringing reverence back to motherhood, and the sacred back to the mater-ial realms (mater = mother in Latin) - Angelica, mother and queen of the plant spirit realm - being initiated by plants to carry their essence and become the medicine - _today's plant spirit transmission_: Bridging Heaven and Earth in Service, with Angelica sylvestris - today's medicine song: Cycles and Rhythm by Mackenzie Madrone LINKS AND MUSIC: - the book Anna, Grandmother of Jesus (https://www.hayhouse.com/anna-grandmother-of-jesus-ebook) by Claire Heartsong - Maria Kirchental (http://www.maria-kirchental.at/home/) in St. Martin/Lofer, Austria - Amber Magnolia Hill's blog post (https://mythicmedicine.love/blog/angelica) about Angelica, Mama Bear of the Spirit Realm - Mackenzie Madrone's bandcamp (https://mackenziemadrone.bandcamp.com/) and instagram (https://www.instagram.com/mackenzie.madrone/) **Let's connect!** https://floweringshe.com | @floweringsherose (https://www.instagram.com/floweringsherose/) _Thank you so much for listening!
