  1. 100-Year-Old Way to Filter #Rainwater in a Barrel

    by Linda Holliday
    February 25, 2015

    "During our boiling, broiling, blistering summer of 2012 here in the Missouri Ozarks, water was a topic of conversation wherever we went. Creeks and ponds dried up (some never recovered) and the water table dropped, forcing a few neighbors to have their well pumps lowered or to even have deeper wells drilled.

    "Many folks shared memories of rain barrels, cisterns, hand pumps and drawing water with a well bucket as a child, usually on grandpa and grandma’s farm. Some said they’d never want to rely again on those old-time methods of getting water. But, at least they knew how it was done.

    "It seems we have lost much practical knowledge in the last 50 or so years because we thought we’d never need it again. Now we are scrambling to relearn those simple know-hows.

    "A tattered, 4-inch thick, 1909 book I happily secured for $8 in a thrift store reveals, among umpteen-thousand other every-day skills, how to make homemade water filters. The instructions in 'Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis’s Cookbook' are quite basic as everyone had a rain barrel back then and presumably knew how to clean the water. Now, 104 years later, I am thankful the authors had the foresight to preserve their knowledge for us, and pointed out that rainwater collected in barrels from a roof is a necessity in some locations, but also is best for laundry and 'often more wholesome for drinking purposes than hard water.'

  21. #EdwardianFarm - Extracting Lanolin from Sheep's Wool

    "In this clip from Edwardian Farm, Ruth Goodman extracts lanolin from sheep's wool.

    Lanolin, also called wool wax or wool grease, is a yellow waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals. Most lanolin used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool. Lanolin primarily consists of sterol esters. Its waterproofing property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats. Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of lanolin.

    Lanolin and its many derivatives are used extensively in products designed for the protection, treatment and beautification of human skin.

    Crude lanolin constitutes about 5–25% of the weight of freshly shorn wool. The wool from one Merino sheep will produce about 250–300 ml of recoverable wool grease. Lanolin is extracted by washing the wool in hot water with a special wool scouring detergent to remove dirt, wool grease (crude lanolin), suint (sweat salts), and anything else stuck to the wool. The wool grease is continuously removed during this washing process by centrifugal separators, which concentrate it into a wax-like substance melting at approximately 38 °C (100 °F)."

  40. Hail Wodan on this Wodan’s Day!

    Consider what we would not sacrifice for a sip from Mimirsbrunnr. Do we hold our views and ideas so dear that we would not run them through with Gungnir to attain a deeper understanding, one beyond our concepts?

  41. If there is one motif that reflects the ancestral ways, it is not the Gods. It is Yggdrasil. For even the Gods understood the significance of the World Tree.

  43. Blessings on Sunna‘s Day.

    Rosy hues colour the hem of dawn
    And ravens wheel and call
    Against the paling sky;
    Thought and Memory
    Herald Sunna‘s rise,
    And rousing at her touch,
    Pursue the ancient ways,
    By her unerring flight.

  45. An afternoon walk in the neighbouring woods. Grounding. Connecting. Walking in the embrace of the sacred. Honouring the Old Gods in their true temple.
