The Green Mysteries: An Occult Herbarium Plants have been a source of fascination and wonder for centuries. Their medicinal properties, magical associations, and vibrancy of colors have captivated the human imagination since ancient times. In the realm of herbalism, there exists a realm of knowledge that delves deeper into the esoteric qualities of plants – the occult herbarium. The occult herbarium is a collection of plants that hold mystical properties and are used for divination, magick, and spiritual purposes. These plants are believed to possess hidden energies and powers that can be harnessed by those who understand their secrets. In this mystical garden, plants are not just seen as mere ingredients, but as living beings with consciousness and spirits.

INTERVIEW: Brett Gelman on Conspiracy Theories, Magic Mushrooms, and Inside Job

In this mystical garden, plants are not just seen as mere ingredients, but as living beings with consciousness and spirits. Throughout history, many cultures and civilizations have explored the occult properties of plants. From ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, practitioners of the occult arts sought to unlock the hidden powers of nature.

The Stranger Things actor plays psychic mushroom Magic Myc in Netflix's new animated comedy series.

Netflix’s latest foray into adult animation, Inside Job, premieres this week with an all-star comedy cast. The series, which hails from the mind of Shion Takeuchi (Gravity Falls), is an adult animated workplace comedy that takes place at Cognito, Inc., a shadow government organization that creates and manages global conspiracies: everything from Illuminati-style secret societies to Bigfoot to lizard people to chemtrails gets namechecked in the trailer.

The team is led by “anti-social tech genius” Reagan Ridley (Lizzy Caplan) who tries to manage her misfit team which includes psychic sentient mushroom Magic Myc, voiced by actor and comedian Brett Gelman. Gelman has made a name for himself playing intense, acerbic characters like Claire’s (Sian Clifford) toxic husband Martin in Fleabag and a conspiracy theorist/private investigator Murray Bauman in Stranger Things.

We sat down with Gelman to discuss his new series, favorite conspiracy theories, and why women of color should do whatever the hell they want.

THE MARY SUE: Growing up, conspiracy theories were often a source of humor, met with tin foil hat jokes and all that. But nowadays, we’re confronted with the more insidious aspects of them, such as their proliferation on social media and the mainstreaming of dangerous theories like QAnon. Do you think its harder to find humor in the subject in our current climate?

BRETT GELMAN: You know, I don’t think so, … I’m somebody who believes it’s very healing to laugh at like, horrible things that are going on, as long as you’re not disrespecting the people who are being affected by them. But I’ve even found that, yeah, I didn’t think anything [on the series] was really exploitive. Plus you know, Shion [Takeuchi] is a very sensitive and intelligent person, so that when she really goes for the edgy joke, it is backed up with so much good intention and intelligence that it works, you know?

Also, she’s a woman of color – she gets to do what she wants, and she should! I mean really, I think that’s a lot of the answer too, who is running these shows. And when you have a woman of color running the show, it’s like, you’re given more of a leeway to do that, because she has been affected by the dark side of the United States you know, so being a voice-piece for her vision is really great.

TMS: It’s a perspective that punches up, that isn’t bullying. I like that there’s a supportive vibe at the core of the show. Do you have a favorite conspiracy theory?

BG: I’m pretty basic, I mean, when I was a teenager and Oliver Stone’s JFK came out, I was just so into everything surrounding that, it was just so fascinating to me. I loved that movie and I loved how paranoid it was, … you felt like the people behind it were right outside your door. But then Area 51 and all of the alien theory stuff really freaked me out too.

Conspiracy theories, if I think that they’re true, and those two I do, they’re really scary, so I’m pretty emotionally connected less in terms of like ‘that’s awesome’, more like, ‘hope that doesn’t kill me!’ They freak me out, and what’s so amazing is to be thinking about these people reading these fake conspiracy theories and believing them to be true, they’re really having some bad days! As bad as they’re making our days, their days are pretty bad if they’re believing some of that crazy shit. Because conspiracy theories are stressful, and I think one of the great things about the show is that it takes the stress out of it by laughing at how ridiculous it is.

TMS: What would you like to see happen with Myc in season 2?

BG: I’d love to see Myc in a romantic relationship, that would be fantastic. It’d be amazing if like, he became the central part of some sort of actual QAnon conspiracy, just to have Myc be at the center of that would be really fun.

TMS: You also play a conspiracy theorist in Stranger Things, can you tell us anything about season 4?

BG: I can’t! I can’t say more than what has already been revealed.

Inside Job premieres on October 22 on Netflix.

The green mysteries of the occult herbarium were passed down through generations, guarded by secret societies and mystical orders. Each plant in the occult herbarium has its own unique properties and associations. For example, mandrake is associated with transformation and fertility, while mugwort is known for its ability to enhance divination and psychic abilities. These plants are often used in rituals, spells, and potions to invoke certain energies and intentions. The study of the occult herbarium requires a deep understanding of herbalism, as well as a connection to the spiritual realm. It is not simply about gathering plants and using them in rituals, but about cultivating a relationship with nature and its hidden powers. This requires knowledge of plant correspondences, folklore, and the ability to communicate with the spirits of the plants themselves. While the occult herbarium may sound mysterious and otherworldly, it is ultimately a tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth. By working with these plants, practitioners can tap into their own innate powers and connect with the natural forces that surround them. It is a journey of exploration, where plants become allies and guides on the path towards enlightenment. In conclusion, the occult herbarium is a treasure trove of green mysteries. It is a realm where plants hold the secrets of the universe, waiting to be discovered by those who seek them. In the hands of a knowledgeable practitioner, the occult herbarium becomes a gateway to the realm of magick and spirituality, offering a deeper understanding of the intertwined relationship between nature and the human soul..

Reviews for "The Role of the Green Herbarium in Modern Paganism and Wicca"

1. Jane - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to read "The Green Mysteries: An Occult Herbarium" as I love both plant magic and occult topics. However, I found this book to be a disappointment. The writing style was convoluted and hard to follow, and the information provided about the plants and their magical properties was minimal and vague. I was hoping for a deep exploration of the subject matter, but instead, I was left feeling confused and unsatisfied.

2. John - 1/5 stars - I can honestly say that "The Green Mysteries: An Occult Herbarium" is one of the worst books I've ever read. The author's attempt to merge occult knowledge with herbalism fell flat on its face. The writing was dry and lacked any meaningful depth, and the information provided was basic and easily found elsewhere. I was looking for a thought-provoking exploration of plant magic, but instead, I found myself yawning throughout the entire book.

3. Emily - 3/5 stars - While "The Green Mysteries: An Occult Herbarium" had some interesting concepts and ideas, I found its execution to be lacking. The writing style was overly verbose and made it difficult to grasp the main points. The inclusion of personal anecdotes and anecdotes from the author's friends felt out of place and distracted from the overall message of the book. Additionally, I found the lack of practical application and guidance in using plant magic to be a disappointment. Overall, it had potential but fell short in delivering a cohesive and useful resource.
