On this edition of the Natural Nurse and Dr Z, Ellen Kamhi Ph.D. , RN interviewed Todd Elliot about agrarian magical practices, mythology, and folklore.

 

About Todd Elliot

Todd Elliot is 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 (Inner Traditions, March 2026), 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. In The Cunning Farmer: Agrarian Magical Practices, Mythology, and Folklore (Inner Traditions, March 2026), farmer and esoteric scholar Todd Elliott uncovers a forgotten tradition in which agriculture and magic were inseparable. Long before fertilizers and farm technology, growers across North America and Western Europe worked with prayers, rituals, plant lore, lunar cycles, and land spirits to protect crops, strengthen herds, and invite fertility.

Host, Ellen Kamhi, PhD RN,  discussed the history of repression about natural medicine , as discussed in the book, THE NATURAL MEDICINE CHEST.  She shares information about the Flexner Report and current practices where AI platforms often restrict or remove “natural health” information , supposedly to protect users from unverified medical advice and to prevent the spread of medical misinformation. Because natural treatments may lack standardized clinical trials, major search engines and AI models generally prioritize medically authoritative, peer-reviewed sources. Therefore it is important to curate a well researched Natural Health Library to continue to have access to natural health information to help yourself and your family.
