This course reveals the hidden history and sacred uses of Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus Carota), an ancient ally for natural fertility management, ancestral remembrance and wild sovereignty.
Queen Anne's Lace 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), how to be in relationship with it for greater efficacy, recipes for its use as a method to prevent pregnancy in conjunction with the symptothermal method and how the ancestral memory of the hedgewitch plays a central role in this earth-based wisdom.

'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 soon after unprotected sex, works to prevent implantation. This means that the 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 to isolate days where conception is possible, it becomes easy for women to manage their fertility safely and effectively, from the comfort of their own home and in allyship with the earth.
QAL looks like a few other common plants and some of them are poisonous. I'll teach you how to identify QAL safely.
There are some fascinating stories within folk herbalism about QAL. Learning these gives you greater understanding of the plant's spirit.
Learn about the history of the hedge as a source of medicine and magick; and about plant allies for women's fertility.
I'll describe how QAL is used as Herbal Plan B and share a variety of recipes and approaches for you to try and create at home.
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.

In Queen of the Hedge you will learn how to identify and safely gather QAL seeds, create a tincture with them, and the correct timing and dosage to effectively prevent pregnancy.
No. Plants which help to release pregnancies are called emmenagogues or abortifacients. QAL is neither because, when used correctly, it prevents pregnancy from ever beginning due to compounds which inhibit the implantation of a fertilised egg on the uterine wall.
No, this is a common misunderstanding. QAL is neither. It is not a daily replacement for the contraceptive pill. It acts to prevent implantation of the fertilised egg on the uterine wall, thus preventing pregnancy.
It's a way of tracking your cycle by taking your daily temperature and charting two other bodily signs. It allows you to accurately predict (up to 9% accuracy when practised correctly) when you will ovulate and take precautions to avoid pregnancy.
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.
