I wrote an memorial article on the late Christian Rätsch who passed away recently. His contributions to the Poison Path and study of plant medicine are megalithic. Safe journey Christian you probably visited the spirit world more in life than most. He left behind wife and fellow author Claudia Müeller-Ebeling. You can read the full article and more about Rätsch’s work @inner_traditions where many of his books have been published. He also has a large body of material written in German. #christianrätsch #encyclopediaofpsychoactiveplants #ethnobotany #poisonpath #entheogens #thepoisonpath #plantspiritmedicine #ethnobotanist #psychedelicresearch https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci1DPT4rVbe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"All too often, certain concepts in each get frozen into dogmatic or glib assertions. On one side, we might find “scientism,” reduced to what Gurdjieff called “nothing but-ism”—a wholly material explanation of everything. On the other side, a magical New Age worldview that can become so superstitious that it loses critical ability and the value of testing. So I wanted to work in between them."

Lamium album, growing wild on the hill above my school. Read more below.

Different aerial parts of this plant are edible and traditionally used as raw or cooked food in some countries, especially in some dishes in Mediterranean and neighboring areas.  In addition, non-stinging nettle is considered a base component of some well-known vegetarian dishes and salads. L. album, when added to food supplements, can prevent menstrual, musculoskeletal disorders and ameliorate fat metabolism. It is worth mentioning a phytochemical study of the aqueous extract of the flowering tops of L. album, a component herb in a commercial liver health herbal formula, that led to the identification of the antiviral activity of some iridoids.

Prunus padus is the bird cherry or mayday tree, technically a plum. Yields wonderful purple tones. I prepared the infusion in alcohol. It provides quick drying effect as found in sketch markers for fashion. Sustainable, edible, wonderful pastel color. Yes, prunus padus fruit might be toxic for some mammals, but some tribes know how to prepare a dried snack. Sustainable, ecological color made by #ethnobotanist for the Gretas and Charlies of the post covid world. Because all life is sacred, and people should weaponise themselves with art, science and knowledge. Colors are the ammo, paintings are the guns. I am the ammo gunsmith. . . . #postcovid #artscience #ethnobotanist #biology #plants #artasactivism #artas #color #diy #dye #dyer #te #ammo #gunsmith #cal308 #bmg50 #sniper #palette #marker #copic #kingof2miles #50cal #50caliber #416 #416cal #prepper #waterislife #colorislife #armyourkids (at מוזיאון תל אביב לאמנות - Tel Aviv Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrG7Y4nDRS/?igshid=wv44z4vo08wg
