Elder Hour

Hello from Barcelona, discovered this podcast a fee days ago and I am liking it so much. As a chef that works with fungi, this has added depth to my knowledge and it is now opening beautiful new doors!

Just one comment or suggestion: is there a way the audio and room sounds can improve, usually I hear this on headphones and find it too loud in some episodes and too low on others. Anyways, thanks a lot!!

I work at a plant nursery and take care of many house plants, I Love listening while watering and caring for them! Thank you for your hard work in providing this podcast.

This podcast is so informative and fun and witchy! Juliet often calls her readers and followers “besties” and you will feel like your witchy besties are talking shop with you over coffee or wine.

I listen to all the episodes repeatedly. It helps when I’m feeling stagnant in my practice. The lore about the plants is fascinating and and brought about more appreciation for the plants I already work with. Can not wait for the next season! My only complaint is there are not enough episodes in a seas... more

Love you two ladies!! This podcast is so educational, and you guys know how to keep your audience intrigued and interested in what you are saying!

Based on the name of the podcast I thought there would be actual discussions about plants and herbs. I tried to listen to the mandrake episode but couldn’t finish it. This is probably a good podcast for teenagers or “baby witches” who are into WitchTok culture but if you’re looking for actual in-depth content, keep looking.

Stumbled on this and absolutely love it. I love that they talk about how indigenous practices are seen throughout current traditions of colonizers. Plus, its fascinating hearing their perspective of 2020 in hindsight.

I love your podcast! Can you do an episode on Aloe?

I’m hooked! This is such a wonderful introduction to plants. I’ve been able to take in their information and use it in my own practices with my own spin on it. The freedom to work without restraints has really made me blossom into the best Witch I can be! Thanks so much to you both!

The first time I listened to the pod, I was looking into uses for the Rose of Jericho I was drawn to at the store and bought. They did not disappoint! I learned so much about that beautiful plant, and could not wait to listen to more episodes! I have learned so much about working with plants through this podcast, which is my favorite way to practice my craft. I have also learned so much about decolonizing my practice, which has been the most valuable lessons I continue to learn through this podc... more

I LOVE this podcast. Not only is the information given in an easily digestible way, but these gals are so entertaining! I love hearing their experiences and stories and how they relate it to their plant of the month. Their wonderfully charming personalities really make this podcast one of my go-to’s.

I love this podcast and I find all of the information very interesting and useful. I enjoy Juliet and Chelsea’s perspectives and knowledge. BUT, I wish Juliet would stop derailing the conversation talking about herself. She even says she doesn’t like to talk about herself, and yet there are so many episodes where the plant/herb is barely even spoken about because of it. I also wish the same personal stories wouldn’t be repeated in several episodes.

Juliet and Chelsy conduct themselves as if they have included us in a circle of friends. Very casual and friendly but informative and at times inspiring to my personal craft. If you don’t follow them on IG, do yourself a favor and hit the follow button. Support these influencers any way you can because they are voices that need to be heard within our community. (I love love love the episodes on Damiana and Juniper!)

The Juniper Episode was awful when it comes to Juliet. What she said about her neighbors was so mean spirited and hateful I had to listen to something else to get the taste out of my mouth. The idea that she needs “protection” from her neighbors because they simply asked if she wanted to take a walk with them is ridiculous. She even talked about wanting them to move out of/lose their house because they had the audacity to be kind to her. It’s so mean it felt gross to listen to, had to turn it of... more

I rarely leave reviews and even more rarely speak of my practice but I’ve been a practicing witch now for well over a decade and these two put out amazing top tier content. Any old fledgling dabbler could sit and talk about google search results but these women have clearly done the spiritual work! I am obsessed with them and choked on my air when I saw they had returned! Also very stoked about this mandrake episode one of my favorite of the baneful herbs. Please do henbane at some point, and pl... more

I found this podcast a few weeks ago and have been binging it ever since! I am trying to learn more about plants, pay more attention to my own, and connect to them spiritually and magically and this has really satisfied what I’ve been looking for. Juliet and Chelsea are so passionate, knowledgeable, balanced and fun! I also feel like I’m learning so much more than just the plants, but history, personal stories and uses. I’m already inspired and diving into Juliet’s books and I’d LOVE to see Chel... more
