Herbal Folklore: Tales of the Forest Spirits of Italy | Guido Masé

Time to cozy up with a cup of tea and enjoy storytime with herbalist, Guido Masé. In this episode, “Herbal Folklore: Tales of the Forest Spirits of Italy,” Guido shares five legends from the land of the Ladins, the native inhabitants of the Dolomite region of northern Italy. He’s chosen stories of the Silvani: mythical, mischievous forest dwellers who are kind to us humans who always end up needing their assistance. We’ll hear five short stories each about different herbs—linden, rue, juniper, nettle, and mugwort—and learn how the Silvani use herbs to help save humans’ crops and rescue us from other troubles.

Guido Masé RH (AHG) is a clinical herbalist, herbal educator, and garden steward specializing in holistic Western herbalism, although his approach is eclectic and draws upon many influences.
