Rooted by Nature
I’m Samantha Sear, an artist and stay at home mum and in this podcast I’ll be talking about how I connect with nature and the changing seasons, share recipes and creative ideas. I’ll take you along on my journey as I learn about the trees, plants and wildlife around me and the folklore, magic and mythology surrounding them. It’s my hope that this uplifting podcast may encourage you to slow down, enjoy the little things, notice the beauty outside your front door and feel more rooted by nature.
Rooted by Nature
Early Spring
Early Spring has arrived and the April showers have brought May flowers. So join me as I explore weather proverbs and what they mean. Let’s dance around the Maypole and revel in Beltane celebrations and Celtic folklore. I do a deep dive on Hawthorn, a magical healing tree, guarded by the Fey. Look up at the stars with me, to see May blossoms in the Milky Way and navigate Mercury Retrograde as it takes us for a ride!
