I finally returned from the fourth edition of the Viridis Genii Symposium, which took place in the Pack Forest in Eatonville, Washington, and it has been a hectic, impressive, and life-changing experience. I had the chance to travel to a completely new place by myself, I met amazing and like-minded people, and I learned a… Continue Reading →
In all honesty, it has been really hard to write this post: it has taken us more than 2 years. We have never been really fond of reading lists, and thus we expect this article will not be seen like that. We have received lots of enquiries regarding recommended books in herbalism and the Poison Path… Continue Reading →
Existence often ignores our personal agenda. The events that take place in our lives make us collapse and we feel like everything prevents us from moving forward as we had previously planned. Our life and our path are subject to that of others and to those things that we do not expect, to the Inevitable.… Continue Reading →
On September 29th we started a journey to L’Homme Sauvage festival, held in the small town of Aspet, in the French Pyrenees. As we have mentioned several times, Occvlta is now established in the Catalan Pyrenees, an area called Pallars Sobirà, so it was really easy to get there, just needing to cross one mountain… Continue Reading →
Autumn is here. Not astronomically, not “officially” here, but there is always one day when you can feel the vibrations of autumn in your bones, in the trees, in the wind.

Due to logistical problems, the release of the collection is postponed, but at least we can give you a… Continue Reading →
Today we received six harvesting knives wonderfully envisioned and hand crafted by Cody Dickerson from Borealis Ironworks (you can find his fantastic Etsy shop in here), which will integrate the upcoming Harvester Sets (composed of a harvest/gathering knife and an oil to anoint the blade before the harvesting ritual). They are perfect sized (portable and… Continue Reading →
It has been long since we last wrote an article for the blog. If you are familiar with our Instagram, you will be aware that we have moved to the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and so, that we now live in the Catalan Pyrenees. To us, that change is meditated, and the reasons… Continue Reading →
Una estada de dos dies on aprendrem a sentir i comunicar-nos amb els daimons de les plantes; per així aconseguir entendre els senyals que ens fan arribar, creant un vincle profund amb l’entorn que ens ajudi a nivell espiritual, medicinal, i màgic. A través de la percepció profunda i conscient del territori i la flora… Continue Reading →
White bryony (Brionia Dioica) is also known as False Mandrake, English Mandrake, Ladie’s Seal, or Devil’s Turnip. In the past, Bryony was falsely sold as mandrake in some areas during the Middle Ages. Its roots, purgative and toxic, which can cause nausea and vomits if ingested, were carved and moulded into human shape by ludicrous merchants, and… Continue Reading →
