So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced. Bi socair — be still. What are you growing that won't pay off for years? #Foraging #Pawpaw #Gardening #SeedSaving #NativePlants #Herbalism #FoodAsMedicine #Gàidhlig #MastoDaoine #Druid #Folklore #Solarpunk #Cooking 2/2

Seileach. Willow bark, and it is not folklore standing next to medicine — it is where the medicine came from. Salicin in the inner bark, converted by your gut into salicylic acid, which is aspirin's own chemistry with the factory left off A teaspoon or two of dried cut bark, just-boiled water, lid on, fifteen minutes. Wet fence post with a bitter finish that arrives late #Herbalism #Herbs #WillowBark #Apothecary #Foraging #Gàidhlig #Druid #Folklore #Gardening #BloomScrolling #Nature #Cooking 1/2

And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't.

Two handfuls of lemon balm, bruised between your palms until the room smells like lemon and cut grass. Just-off-boil water, ten minutes, lid on. The lid is not a suggestion — the whole medicine is volatile and it will walk out through an open cup while you check your phone. In Gaelic the melissas fall under lus an eòin in some regions, though the naming wanders by glen. Drink it warm in the late afternoon, when the day's adrenaline starts eating its own tail. This is the plant for the nerve that keeps firing after the danger has passed — the one that has you rehearsing an argument at four in the morning with somebody who is asleep and doesn't know you're fighting. What do you reach for when your body won't stand down?

Five days past Lughnasadh, and the land is showing it. Goldenrod cracking open along the highway shoulders. Elderberries turning from green to blood-dark. The first joe-pye weed standing purple and shoulder-high in the ditches. The Perseids already scratching the northeast sky, building toward the peak. The light leaves a few minutes earlier each evening now, so slightly that you feel it in your shoulders before you see it in the sky — the way you always know a room has emptied before you turn to look. *Tha an talamh a' cumail cunntais.* The earth keeps the count. It was counting before there was anyone here to argue about what the count meant. What's turned where you are this week? https://twp.ai/4huPiY #Lughnasadh #Gàidhlig #ScottishGaelic #Goldenrod #Perseids #Nature #Photography #Druid #Folklore #Wildflowers #BloomScrolling #Community #Solidarity

Fosgail an geata. Fàg fosgailte e. Open the gate. Leave it open. That's the whole instruction. It has one moving part. You either move it or you don't, and everything else I wrote this morning is me trying to say that in Gaelic and failing at a decent length. What's the smallest gate you could unbolt today? #Gàidhlig #MastoDaoine #ScottishGaelic #Gaelic #Language #Folklore #Druid #Celtic #Blessing #Community #Solidarity #QueerNews 1/2

The whole heresy fits in nine words. That's the crime they're screaming about — that a picture book has an aunt in it who is happy, and does not apologize, and does not get fixed by the last page. Let them rage. Every second spent screaming at Lola is a second this country spends learning the word aro/ace. Tha àite aig a h-uile duine aig a' bhòrd — everyone has a place at the table. What did you build that nobody handed you a blueprint for? https://twp.ai/4huURK #QueerJoy #LGBTQ #Pride #Aromantic #Asexual #TransRights #Solidarity #Gaidhlig #QuoteOfTheDay #WritersLife #Community #Photography

Is treasa tuath na tighearna. The people are stronger than the lord. The old tongue knew this before there was a word for a corporation, and it will still be true when there isn't one. You came in today carrying a tariff, a slaughterhouse, and a pastor with a microphone. You're leaving with a broccoli stem, a jammy egg, a man who held the screen for five minutes, and four Republicans who voted the right way on a Tuesday. Beannachd leat, agus till a-rithist. https://twp.ai/4hsxuE #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Gàidhlig #Celtic #Druid #Pagan #EarthBased #FolkWisdom #Blessing #Solidarity #MutualAid #Resist #Language #Photography

The blackberries went red to black along the fencerow this week. Goldenrod is thinking about it. This is the long unglamorous stretch the old calendars barely name — past the solstice, before the harvest. Nothing beginning, nothing ripened. The whole world simply holding. #DeepSummer #Phenology #Nature #Foraging #Druid #Pagan #EarthBased #Gaelic #Gàidhlig #Georgia #NatureWriting #Solidarity 1/2

Tha an talamh a' cuimhneachadh — the earth remembers. And what she remembers this week is every July before this one, stacked like plates.

an teas mòr — the great heat. The stretch of July when the earth stops resting even after dark, when the pressure aloft sits like a lid on a pot and the whole eastern half of the country simmers beneath it. Tha an oidhche fhèin blàth — even the night is warm — and the body files it away as a grief it can't yet name. Go the way the river goes. It does not ask permission. Neither do you. #Gaidhlig #ScottishGaelic #Gaelic #Summer #Nature #Druid #EarthBased #Season #Language #Blessing #Heat

Tha an teas a' cruinneachadh — the heat is gathering Deep July, the pitch of it. The week the corn around Kansas City grows an inch a night you could almost hear if the world went quiet. The heat dome overhead is not weather so much as a lid The Mother is doing exactly what the changed air tells her to. What is your body already doing that your mind hasn't caught up to yet? #Gaelic #Gàidhlig #EarthBased #Druid #Seasonal #Nature #Queer #Solidarity #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #Comments

Gum bi thu sàbhailte — may you be safe — and where you cannot be safe, may you be stubborn, and where you cannot be stubborn, may you be held. The land does not ask the river to justify its route to the sea. It only asks that it keep moving. Cùm a' dol. Keep going — not because it's safe out there, but because you are still here. #ScottishGaelic #Gaidhlig #Druid #Paganism #Trans #TransRights #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #QueerNews #Pride #Solidarity

Tha an teas a' tighinn — the heat is coming. Two high-pressure ridges leaning toward each other over the Gulf this weekend, the first real heat wave of the year for a South that's been spared until now. Tha an saoghal a' tionndadh — the world is turning. #Druid #Pagan #Folklore #ScottishGaelic #Gàidhlig #Seasonal #Solstice #Weather #Witch #SlowLiving ↳ https://twp.ai/4hs34D
