Lora Moiree is a practitioner of green magic and occult botany, she's Bulgarian and was always drawn to plants and felt guided by nature spirits all her life. Annelies Buggenhout is a permaculture teacher and a forager, she's Belgian and her history with plants and herbs is more recent, it all started when she moved to Bulgaria about 10 years ago.  Two different stories, but what they have in common is they love nature, just like you and me. Enjoy our talk in this podcast episode! About how Annelies experienced an eco-awakening while living in the forest for the first few months after arriving in Bulgaria. About how Lora received all her knowledge of plants and herbs from nature spirits. About the different perceptions Lora and Annelies have, one being native Bulgarian and the other being a Belgian immigrant. About how civilisation has taken away the magic of nature. About typical Bulgarian herbal traditions and how their Pagan roots are strongly preserved. About the relationship between humans and nature spirits and how plants changed the relationship both women have with themselves. About the freedom to forage in Bulgaria without any legal framework. And lots more.
