9 Plant-Loving Herbalists to Follow on Instagram

It’s official: spring has sprung! In this flowery season marked by Aries and the Spring Equinox, we shed our winter blues and embrace all the wonders that spring has to offer us. That means it’s time for new beginnings, prosperity, and growth. And what better way to get into the feeling of regrowth than by having it all over your Instagram feed? Instagram offers a wonderful community of witches, plant parents, and herbalists (a person who studies the medicinal and magical properties of herbs) that help us learn about the magic of the plants around us. Here are some magical herbalists that you should be following.

Featuring crystals, tarot, and a whole lot of plants, this moody account has created the ultimate chill, green witch vibe. Before starting the account in June 2018 after a two-year-trip abroad, pagan herbalist Genevieve Clarisse (Gen for short), learned the magic of plants growing up on an herb and flower farm with her mother and grandmother. With such a dense background in herbalism, Genevieve says her goal for the account is to “create a supportive environment on social media that [is] open to any and all individuals that either loved or worshipped nature.” On her YouTube page, you’ll find instructional videos on how to incorporate herbalism into pagan practice. Or, you could check out her Etsy shop, where she sells herbaceous items and hand-knitted scarves.
