About this episode
Ellen Kamhi interviews Todd Elliot about the integration of ancient farming traditions and folklore into modern agricultural practices.
Ellen Kamhi, The Natural Nurse, talks with Todd Elliot, a farmer and researcher who brings hands-on experience and historical insight to demonstrate how forgotten traditions behind successful farming can still be used today. In The Cunning Farmer: Agrarian Magical Practices, Mythology and Folklore, he reveals how renewing our relationship with the land through forgotten traditions that draw on ancient folklore, such as land-spirit work to protect crops, heal herds, plant magic and prayer, can rebuild the sacred partnership with the living landscape and increase fertility. toddfarming@gmail.com
