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.
What am I still asking permission to call mine? Ask me...

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...…

The question I asked in today's issue, and I mean it as a real one: what have you actually turned your face toward this week, and what did it cost you to keep looking? I'm answering every one of these in the comments under the piece.

The goldenrod does not check the roll call, and tonight neither do you. Carry what's yours.
Set the rest down at the door like muddy boots — because it is muddy, and it isn't yours, and you've been hauling it up the stairs all week like a martyr with a subscription.

Tha sinn fhathast an seo, agus tha an talamh a' cuimhneachadh — we are still here, and the earth remembers.
Put one hand flat on the nearest solid thing. Table, wall, tree, floor. Leave it there for one whole breath before you read another headline.
The empire can schedule its shabby little votes for four in the morning if it wants. #Gàidhlig #Gaelic #Alba #MastoDaoine #Druid #Folklore #Lùnastal #Blessing #Solidarity #QueerNews #Seasons

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?

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.

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.
