Queen of the Hedge is the new online course by Moon Body. It teaches you everything you need to know about the folklore, history and application of Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus Carota) in managing fertility.
QAL has a fascinating history as an ancient and effective plant ally for women. In this sense, she is an ancestor plant and has walked with women from all over the world for millennia.
In Queen of the Hedge, I'll teach you about how to identify QAL (ensuring you don't confuse it with its poisonous friend Hemlock) and we'll look at recipes for its use as a method to prevent unwanted pregnancy post-coitus.
Included in this course is a history of plants used to prevent conception as well as the folklore of the hedge as a dwelling place of the witch and her liminal magick.
This course is free for women of The Cosmic Feminine. If you'd like to buy it to get a feel for Miriam's work and later on join TCF, your investment will be refunded.
There is both a live and a self-study component of this course. Join Miriam live on Sunday August 11 for a 3-hour workshop where your questions can be answered and the key threads of QOTH will be woven. Afterwards you have full access to the course's pre-recorded self-study component.
'Plan B' is the American colloquial name for the Morning After Pill. A pharmaceutical pill which prevents conception after unprotected sex. Queen Anne's Lace is known as Herbal Plan B because it achieves the same aim, only naturally, gently and without lining the pockets of pharmaceutical giants or giving the recipient a heavy dose of hormones. QAL, when taken after unprotected sex, works to prevent implantation. This means that by arresting progesterone production, a fertilised egg is unable to implant itself in the womb lining and conception cannot progress. When QAL is used as emergency contraception in combination with the Symptothermal Cycle Charting Method, it becomes easy for women to manage their fertility safely and effectively.
I can't tell you about the magick of Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus Carota) without speaking about the symbolism of the hedgerow. Hedgerows are places teeming with life: insects, birds, animals and medicinal plants. There is a fascinating story connecting the hedge with witches. In fact the name in German for witch (Hexe) comes from the same etymological root as hedge (Hege). The witch is a woman who lives beyond the hedge – which separated the village from the unknown. The witch is a liminal figure, working with one foot in this world and one in the otherworld. Understanding the hedgerow as marking the boundary between the world of the mundane and the world of magick will support you in your work with Queen Anne's Lace.

Great! Buying Queen of the Hedge is a great way to feel into Miriam's work. If you're already in The Cosmic Feminine Facilitator Training (either past or present cohort) you get this course included in TCF. If you're thinking about joining The Cosmic Feminine but you'd like to buy this course first to get a feel for working with Miriam and then decide to join after, we'll refund you your investment for QOTH.
I made this course to light a fire in your belly. Over the last decade I've worked with thousands of women, inspiring and guiding them back to the womb. When a woman understands how she can combine the Sympto-thermal Method of cycle tracking with QAL tincture to manage her fertility, she experiences what it means to be a wild woman, guided by earth and body-based wisdom. This kind of sovereignty is every woman's birthright and I want to place this knowledge in as many women's hands as I possibly can. Queen of the Hedge is the perfect place to start your exploration of cyclical sovereignty through plant allyship and herbal folklore.
