RE: Wild Food: Mushroom Hunting - Yellow Foot and Black Trumpet
That's some pretty cool stuff! What fun adventures at your neck of the woods this past weekend! Glad you had a very successful time mushroom hunting! I was going to go and get some dirt from where my garden was to do prayer tie ceremony but was reminded it is still under a good 2+ feet of snow!! Lol
So nice to see the beaming green moss 💚 .....i've no idea what type of mushrooms those others are. Hope you can find out what they are.
Yeah I love adventures in the woods! 2+ feet... now that's a lot of snow still on the ground! I am curious to know now.. What is a prayer tie ceremony?
Yeah! There is still a lot of snow around. It's nice. We don't usually get this much!! Prayer Tie Ceremony is a Native Indigenous Tradition. Led by an elder with teachings. Done around sacred fire. We take square of fabric, also called a print, and tuck tobacco and our prayers in the corner. Bundle it up and fasten it a certain way (our Elder uses earth, seeds, and tobacco). There is a print for each of the four directions. Then we bundle all the bundles together. Put the prints away in nature (in a tree or a bush) for the prayers to do their thing like tree seeds. We burn them at the fall before winter comes. To spend winter receiving new prayers for the next cycle. This was my 5th year doing this ceremony. Thx for asking.
I appreciate you explaining the Prayer Tie Ceremony. It sounds so full of heart and thanks. What a beautiful ceremony to take part in.
It's really special 💜
