Ancestral Plant Relationships with Lupo Passero

The Plant Spirit Podcast with Sara Artemisia

#48 - Join us for an incredible conversation with Herbalist and Educator Lupo Passero on the power of deepening our relationship with the medicinal plants of our ancestors.
In this episode, Lupo shares about her recent experience of traveling to her ancestral homeland in Sicily and how working with ancestral plants helps us connect with a deep remembering of who we are in relationship to the Earth. She offers profound wisdom on the power of reclaiming her Strega lineage and the experience of connecting with many plant allies in Southern Italy including Rosemary, Bay, Olive, Pomegranate, and Calendula. She also shares key insights on the importance of learning recipes, songs, stories, and ancestral practices of spiritual protection and healing with the plants.
Lupo grew up in hardwood forests of the Northeast. Her paternal Grandmother was a wise woman, a Strega, from Italy. Her paternal Great Grandmother came from Knocknashee, the Druid Hill of the Fae, in Sligo, Ireland.
Since childhood she has been studying plants, creating circles, hosting ceremonies, and holding ritual space for others. At 18 she was pulled to the heart of the Appalachian Mountains where she began her botanical studies. As a young mother, Lupo’s greatest teachers have been her two (now grown) children. Her humble beginning of studying herbs and flower essences as a young mother in the 90's inspired her to learn and go on to teach others.
Lupo is the Founder and Director of Twin Star School of Herbal and Energetic Studies. For over two decades she has had the privilege to teach thousands of students, in both Asheville NC, CT/NYC area as well as around the globe, the art of energetic and spiritual herbalism. Her recent trip to Sicily to visit her homeland, has greatly deepened her love and connection to her Sud Italian heritage and reclaiming her birthplace as an American Italian Strega. A true a teacher at heart, Lupo continues to deepened her relationship within her own lineage, as well as many others, by sitting at the feet of and learning from as many teachers as possible.
