Maya Hawke has shared insights into her mother Uma Thurman's unique, "witchy" connection to nature. According to Hawke, Thurman instilled a deep respect for gardening and natural remedies.
These practices, described as "witch-adjacent," involve preparing natural cures such as pineapple skin tea for colds, utilizing the fruit's enzymes. This approach is part of a light form of Wicca practiced within the family.
Hawke also fondly recalled her father Ethan Hawke's magical, crafty side, noting his creation of treasure hunts with painted maps and hidden notes for her as a child.
Thurman's devotion to nature is evident in her extensive gardening, including harvesting stinging nettles for soups, which Maya particularly enjoys. Sourcing fresh stinging nettles can be challenging, with the Union Square farmers market in New York City being a noted location.
These familial traditions highlight a profound appreciation for herbal remedies and nature's healing properties, a practice that Maya embraces as "witchiness" and a form of natural wellness.
