Reblogging complete post so that it is not truncated and lost :3
There is a lot of information on the average seed packet and it can be confusing to the new gardener. Learn how to read a seed packet and improve your gardening skills.
“…The information on the seed packet confuses her and it’s just easier to buy transplants. I felt the same way when I first started gardening and I’m sure there are others who feel a bit overwhelmed when they look at the back of a seed packet.”…
On Smudging//
For those of you who don’t follow my blog or know me, hello my name is Violet, and I am a Muscogee Creek Native.
//What is Smudging?// •Smudging is a ceremonial and traditional Native American cleansing ritual. Traditionally white sage, cedar, Sweetgrass and lavender can be used. Smudging is done to prepare a space or a person for a spiritual ritual or ceremony, or the arrival of spiritual leaders and elders into a sacred space. The burning of herbs is often accompanied by chanting, singing, fervent prayer and sometimes musical instruments. The particular herbs and techniques will vary from tribe to tribe and clan to clan, which is why the method is often past down from family members.
//How can I smudge?// •Unless you are Native and have been taught by family/clan/tribe members, you cannot smudge. Native religions and cultures are closed to outsiders/non-natives.
//But other cultures smudging!!!??// •Actually, they use smoke cleansing. Smoke cleansing is the burning of purifying herbs to cleanse an area. Many cultures all over the world smoke cleanse, and have their own techniques and specific herbs they prefer. However, smudging is a term that refers specifically to the religious ritual in nearly all ndn tribal cultures. Because of centuries of having our cultures ripped from us and beaten out of us, we have lost our original terms for many rituals and important spiritual aspects of our cultures. So we are reclaiming the English words used for them, much like the terms ‘two spirit’ and ‘spirit animals’. .
//Beliefs and Religion// •In the religion of the Muscogee people, we believe in an all encompassing energy. People and objects have this energy. Plants and animals have this energy. It is an ever shifting, ever balancing spirit that lives within us all and is mastered by Epohfvnkv. Our word for this energy is Puyvfekcv, the fire within. This is where Medicine comes from, this is where we feel the Vnokeckv, the deep love that connects all peoples, all creatures, and all that exist.
•However, personal energies can often become polluted by bad words, bad thoughts and bad actions. So too can objects and places. They become Porrv, bad spirits. Evil medicine.
•This is where Smudging comes in. This practice is one of many methods, usually accompanied by days of fasting, drinking a medicine to clean the bowels, sitting in the sweat lodge and then jumping in the river to clean the blood and the words, and smudging to clean the energy field, to cleanse a person of Bad Medicine or to prepare them for Postetv (Green Corn Ceremony) or a Opvnkvhaco (vision quest).
•Cleansing is to purify all aspects of life, the Ena (body), Feke (heart), Ekvlpa (mind), Cate (blood, life force) and Puyvfekcv (fire within). This way balance and harmony can be sought. •Imbalance of any of these things can disrupt energy and cause mental, emotional, spiritual and physical sickness and disease.
•My people traditionally will carry or use Svpryv (medicine crystals), Tvstvnvkvlkoce (medicine herbs or ‘herbal warriors’) in Medicine bags to prevent imbalance and sickness and to promote good luck and well being.
•Smudging is the combination of calling on the spirits of the Tvstvnvkvlkoce (medicine herbs) Puyvfekcv (fire within), Hesaketvmese (giver and master of breath), Pucasv (taker and balancer of energy and fire), and Ekvnvvcakv (Holy Mother Earth) to purify a space or person. It is a very spiritual and involved practice.
I have shared all this information merely to inform and would like to remind everyone that the Muscogee religion a is closed religion, and that our beliefs are different from other tribes.
Thank you for reading. Mvto!
Please stop asking me questions about this guys, and instead check out this post. Which is written by an actual Native. It will answer everything you need to know, I promise.
Witches
Get out there. Back a backpack, fill it with water and trinkets and notebooks. Put on your best shoes and go ahead. Go stick your feet in the pond. Pick up cool sticks in the forest and whittle them with open scissors. Pick common flowers and dry them in your room. Tie wool ribbons to trees and write little messages for others to find. Prowl the streets of your area and pick pebbles out of the cracks in sidewalks. Find coins and bring them home. Look for abandon objects on the subway. Go dumpster diving, find fun free things you’d never expect to own from the trash. Use mud and stones to make tiny houses, use walnut shells as bowls and leave some water for the new inhabitants. Pick up sand from the beach or the desert or the local park and fill a little sack with it. Bury seeds in eggshells under your favorite trees. Get lost in the woods. Be that one person who does weird stuff, collect the words tossed around about you and save them in a paper envelope; they’re yours.
Just go. You are a being of chaos and calamity and there is a whole world out there waiting to be found.
This is such a mood
One thing that took me longer than it should have to understand was that the books you build your path on dont have to be solely from the occult section. Read history books. Read mythology books. Mycology. Mental health. Local botany. There are a lot of things that apply and are extensively written on – just not in occult books. Too often occult books just give a brief overview of these subjects, and you’re lucky if they include references.
