The land doesn't hold its shape that way. Two breaths, then: in through the nose, a second short sip stacked on top, out long and ragged. Three times.
That second sip is the part that actually reaches the nerve.Cùm do chasan air an talamh — keep your feet on the ground.

Your body has been braced since somebody said the small mean word at a fairground. Bracing isn't weakness — it's a nervous system doing the job it evolved for. The trouble is nobody ever tells the body when the thing is over, so it holds that shape into September, into a jaw that clicks and a shoulder that will not come down.

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.

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

Sgrìobh i: #27: An Dealbh Sgriosail
Sin thu fhèin! 👋Tha an t-àm ann a-nis buannaiche na farpais-sgrìobhaidh a bh’ againn san Lùnastal fhoillseachadh! 🏆Ach an toiseach, seo an cuspair a-rithist:Tha cuideigin a’ lorg uidheam-smachd cèin a chuireas an ùine air ais deich mionaidean.Dè thachras an uair sin?Someone finds a remote control that rewinds time by 10 minutes.What happens next?Cothrom èibhinn eile, tha sinn an dòchas, gus do chuid sgilean-sgrìobhaidh a chur gu feum! Ghabh triùir pàirt san fharpais - ’s iad Gwen, Steffi agus Jenny. Ach chan fhaod sinn ach aon bhuannaiche a-mhàin a thaghadh. Agus an turas seo……’s e Gwen a th’ ann. Meal do naidheachd! 🥇Leughaidh agus cluinnidh tu sgeulachd Gwen gu h-ìosal ⬇️ Seo dhut “An Dealbh Sgriosail”. A-rithist, dh’fhàs mi beagan cruthachail leis an eadar-theangachadh gu Beurla.
An Dealbh Sgriosail
Gwen[Gàidhlig]Bha Lilidh na h-oileanach ealain agus cha robh ach beagan uairean a thìde air fhàgail gus a pròiseact deireannach a chrìochnachadh. B’ e seo dealbh mòr de mhuir stoirmeil air an robh i air seachdainean de dh’obair a chur seachad, ach bha e fhathast a’ coimhead sgriosail!Nuair a ghabh Lilidh ceum air ais a choimhead air, bhuail i uidheam smachd iomallach an telebhisein far a’ bhùird. Rug i air dìreach mus do bhuail e an làr, ach bhrùth i am putan dearg gun fhiosta. Gu h-obann, las an seòmar agus mhothaich i gun robh an gleoc air leum air ais deich mionaidean...…

Question for speakers of #Celtic languages :BoostOK: : do you apply initial consonant mutations to non-Celtic names?
(My question is specifically about place names but I thought it'd be useful to know more generally as well)

High in tannins: they bind iron and blunt oral medications, so leave two hours either side of anything you take on a schedule. Skip it in pregnancy or if you're anemic. And be certain of your identification — alder is not buckthorn, and buckthorn is a violent purgative. If you're eighty percent sure about the tree, buy the bark instead. #Herbalism #Herbalist #Alder #Feàrna #FolkMedicine #Foraging #Botany #Nature #Gardening #Druid #Folklore #Gàidhlig

Grey alder — Alnus incana, feàrna. For the throat that's been screaming.
Dried inner bark only, aged several months, never fresh — fresh bark will make you vomit, which is exactly why the old preparation insists on the drying. One teaspoon to a cup, simmered ten minutes, strained, cooled to warm. Gargle and spit. Good as an external wash on weepy skin and foot soaks.

Tha an talamh a' cunntadh cuideachd — the earth is counting too.
She has never once needed our permission, or a federal form, to know exactly how many of us there are.
Chan urrainn dhaibh am freagairt a dhubhadh às — they cannot erase the answer.

The dog-day cicadas have gone ragged and uneven. The muscadines are coming ripe along the fencerows. Out in the dry ditches the rabbit tobacco is finally putting up its little everlasting flowers, the ones that hold their shape all winter after everything green has surrendered.

Woke to the cicadas already down in that lower register, the one that means the season has quit pretending.
Goldenrod along every ditch from here to the county line. Tomatoes splitting themselves open from drinking too fast. Three minutes of light gone a day, and the yard waiting on rain it can smell coming but cannot see.

Q: How does Scottish Gaelic feature into the story, and did you incorporate any Gaelic legends or folklore into The Boy Maeve?

There is a specific tiredness that comes from being argued about. It is not the tiredness of work. It is the exhaustion of a body that has been asked to be evidence.
Set it down. Not forever. Just for a while.*Tha an talamh a' cumail cunntais* — the earth keeps the count.
What are you setting down today?

August is the month the year stops promising and starts delivering, and delivery is heavier than promise. The tomatoes come in faster than the counter can hold them. The goldenrod is up. The light leaves a few minutes earlier each evening, so slightly you register it in the shoulders before you register it in the sky.
