There's a door I've been dreaming about. Wooden, old, with a brass bell gone green. A physical sanctuary where time moves differently. That door isn't open yet. But today, a different one is. Welcome to Season Two of Ash & Honey. I'm Alexandria Quinn Love, M.A. — historian, researcher, maker. And in this episode, I'm announcing something that's bee…

Close your eyes. Come with me somewhere. We're standing at the foothills of the Himalayas. It's five thousand years ago — maybe more. In a clearing, sages sit in meditation, watching. Watching the stars and the seasons. The way certain plants heal and others harm. The way some people run hot while others run cold. What they're building will become …

We've traveled a long way together. Through fire — the yellow bile of ambition and the cost of burning bright. Through air — the blood of connection and the art of giving without losing yourself. Through water — the phlegm of stillness and the wisdom of waiting. Through earth — the black bile of melancholy and the courage to feel. Now, in this Seas…

This episode is different. It's the one that asks us to sit with something our culture desperately wants us to avoid. The ancient Greeks called it melaina kholé — black bile. The humor of earth, of autumn, of endings. The darkest of the four vital fluids. And they understood something we've forgotten: there is wisdom in the dark. There is medicine …

We talk about "bouncing back" like it is a virtue—as if the goal of trauma is to return to exactly who you were before the fire. But you cannot un-burn a house. And you shouldn't try. In this inaugural episode of Ash & Honey, historian and herbalist Alexandria Quinn Love opens the door to Apocotherapy: the practice of healing by moving away from th…

You know that person. The one who walks into a room and makes it warmer. Who remembers your name, your dog's name, that thing you mentioned three months ago. Who laughs easily and makes everyone feel like they belong. Maybe you are that person. Or maybe you're the one who can't stand to be alone — who gives and gives until there's nothing left, the…

Have you ever had one of those weeks — maybe one of those years — where you just couldn't stop? The to-do list was endless. The deadlines were screaming. And somewhere in the back of your mind, a voice kept saying: just a little more. Just push a little harder. Sleep when you're dead. The ancient Greeks had a name for this. They called it an excess…

There's a kind of person who doesn't need to fill the silence. Who watches while others scramble to speak. Who stays calm in a crisis when everyone else is spinning out. Maybe you are that person. Or maybe you're the one who's been still too long — stuck, numb, watching life from a safe distance, waiting for a moment that never seems to come. The a…
