Botanica Recap 2026 As An Oracle Pop-Up
Image by Annah Meintzer Photography
Coming back to reality after a weekend of high heat and herbal enchantment was a bit clunkier than I expected yet well worth it... Let's review my full weekend at the 2026 Botanica Festival of Plants at Three Leaf Farm in Lafayette, Colorado as an oracle reader:
Head swirling synchronicities? Check.
Plant people reunion? Yes.
Pharmacists in my plants + divination class? Two of them!
Even though it was my 3rd year reading oracle at Botanica Festival of Plants, it was my first year without the emotional support Silver Streak trailer and my first time teaching at the event.
I opened straight away with giving the Oracle in the Garden talk where we covered tea leaf readings, Ikin and Òpèlè tools of Ifá, maize casting, the Ogham tree alphabet and more... from there it was all readings, yapping, and more readings.
18 readings, actually, between Saturday and Sunday. Yet, come closing, I did not want to leave.
The food is always delicious, the people are fantastic whether new or familiar faces, the land holds us and our explorations so well and the animals add oodles of precious joy.
Through photos, we can re-live it. Have a little scroll to see a bit of my booth and a glimpse of the charm at this annual summer festival.
