Nettle, often overlooked as a invasive wild plant, carries a fiery and protective spiritual medicine in the shamanic realm. Its stinging hairs serve as a reminder that true healing often begins with courage and awakening to truth, facing what pains or invigorates us. The beautiful plant spirit medicine of nettle teaches resilience, boundary-setting, and the transformative power of endurance. By sitting in ceremony with its spirit, participants may experience deep purification, shaking off stagnant energies and old patterns, while cultivating grounded strength and vitality.

In folklore, nettle has long been seen as a plant of protection and purification. It was believed to ward off evil spirits, drive away misfortune, and even bring courage to those who carried it. In traditional herbal medicine, nettle has been prized for its nourishing and restorative qualities. Its leaves were used to strengthen the blood, ease joint and muscle pains, and support kidney and urinary health. Both in myth and medicine, nettle embodies a potent combination of vitality and defense, reminding us that healing often comes with both challenge and resilience.

What is a Shamanic Plant Spirit Initiation?

A shamanic plant spirit initiation involves a deep, spiritual connection with one Plant or Tree. The initiation creates the sacred container for personal transformation, healing, and a greater understanding of oneself and the natural world with the Plant or Tree as your teacher, elder and guide. The word initiation is utilised as the ceremony is not a simple ‘meet and greet’ of a Plant, it requires a commitment to the Green Being in the form of fasting, so you are able to diet with the Plant or Tree for the entirety of the ceremony. The initiation is entirely an experiential ceremony. The facilitator will utilise different shamanic and energy practices open the connection between you and the Plant or Tree and help you enter into the energy realm of your Green Being Ally. Personal reflection is a large part of the initiation, as there is no middle man interpreting or receiving messages on your behalf. The initiation gives rise to you becoming your own guide with the Plant or Tree Ally as a mentor.
