Two heat domes have joined hands over this continent. The old word for this stretch past the solstice is na laethanta madaidh — the dog days, when the land goes still and waits. Tha an talamh a' cumail a h-anail — the earth is holding her breath. Listen for the first evening cicada anyway. She sings into the heat, not against it. So can you. #Nature #Phenology #Summer #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Druid #EarthBased #Trans #LGBTQ #Pride #Queer #Seasons

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

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

Cùm grèim, ach na cùm cho teann 's gun bris thu. Hold on — but not so tight that you break. You're allowed to be furious and tender in the same breath. The land is both at once, all the time, and it has never once apologized. #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Blessing #Druid #EarthBased #Mindfulness #LGBTQ #TransRights #Pride #QueerNews #Solidarity #Resist https://twp.ai/4hsmQt

Red clover — seamrag dhearg. Pick the blossoms in full sun after the dew burns off, when the heads are dry and springy and the bees have had their turn. Steep a heaping tablespoon in near-boiling water, covered, ten minutes. Covered matters — that's the whole medicine going up your ceiling otherwise. #Herbalism #RedClover #HerbalMedicine #Foraging #FolkMedicine #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Apothecary #Plants #Druid #Pagan #QueerWitch #WildCrafting #Botany

Doimhne an t-samhraidh — the deep of summer. The year has tipped past its longest light and begun, imperceptibly, the slow lean back toward dark. You can't feel it yet. The heat says summer is forever, and the heat is lying The figs are swelling toward purple. Some quiet animal part of you already knows the days are a minute shorter than they were You are not the heat dome #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #EarthBased #Druid #Seasonal #Nature #Mindfulness #QueerJoy #Community #Solidarity #Poetry #Hope

You are the cold front the models can't quite promise — the relief that's coming even when the map won't swear to it. Cùm a' dol — keep going. #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #EarthBased #Druid #Seasonal #Nature #Mindfulness #QueerJoy #Community #Solidarity #Poetry #Hope Today's full gathering → https://twp.ai/4htd96

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

Crush a small handful fine between your palms, rub the dust onto pork or roots before the heat. A pinch, no more — the oil is potent and it's a documented abortifacient, so never for anyone pregnant or trying to be. Respect it and it gives you nutmeg, pine, cold water. The taste of a Scottish bog on a plate. #Herbalism #FolkMedicine #Foraging #Druid #ScottishGaelic #Trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #QueerNews #Pride #Paganism Full issue, herbs and all → https://twp.ai/4htLBW

Bog myrtle. Roid, in the Gaelic. The Highlanders stuffed it in their plaids against the midges — then bittered their ale with it for four centuries before hops ever won the argument. https://twp.ai/4htLBP #Herbalism #FolkMedicine #Foraging #Druid #ScottishGaelic #Trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #QueerNews #Pride #Paganism

Bog myrtle. Roid, in the Gaelic. The Highlanders stuffed it in their plaids to keep the midges off, then brewed it into ale for four hundred years before hops ever won the argument. Strip a small handful, crush it fine between your palms, rub the resinous dust onto pork before it hits the heat. A pinch, no more — the oil is potent, and it's an abortifacient, so never for anyone pregnant. Nutmeg and pine and cold water. The taste of a Scottish bog on a summer plate. What did your grandmother reach for that no shelf sells?

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

Linden flower — teile, the lime tree. A spoonful steeped covered ten minutes, drunk cool in the evening when the heat won't release the night. The old people kept it for exactly this: a tea that loosens the jaw you didn't know you were clenching. Tha do chorp a' cuimhneachadh — your body remembers. What do you reach for when the night won't cool? Comments? #Herbalism #FolkMedicine #Apothecary #Linden #Tea #Gaelic #ScottishGaelic #Druid #SelfCare #Trans #LGBTQ #Pride #Plants #Queer

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
