A very wet and impromptu cacao ceremony on the steps leading up to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. Today was a more challenging one in our experience, the police were out in full force and watching us closely. Lots of wandering about gloomy and soggy London streets. But what a beautiful ending. Time for some well deserved rest and recovery for those rebels on the front line. Thanks for your sacrifices and strength. The regenerative culture @extinctionrebellion promotes one thing I love about it so much and that makes it more resilient. Thanks to @little.shakti for forever being my witchy partner in crime and one of the best humans I’ve ever met, @fngr.tps for the beautiful music as ever, @danny_seeley for being incredible support and partner as ever and finding a cauldron full of boiling water in the middle of the square, little skyler for picking us flowers and putting up with miles of walking in the rain, and the incredible inspiring force of nature that is @vir_vap for drumming up a lovely circle of rebels to serve to. And our new friends who helped us tonight, sang their medicine songs and spoke their poems. Heart full. Love and rage xo #internationalrebellion #rebelforlife Quote by Albert Camus from the wonderful @advayainitiative.✨ The current #internationalrebellion is one of the most fiercely courageous, loving, and resilient movements we’ve been a part of. Rebels, support @extinctionrebellion if you feel the call, we need #everybodynow. Wandering in the woods with my foraging and plant-life partner in crime @danny_seeley. What a beautiful few days. Only a week or so after getting my fly agaric tattoo, and months of both of us dreaming of them and me seeing them regularly in visions, we came across a family of these magical little red creatures on a sandy slope. Perhaps the most enchanting mushrooms for me. In love with these guys. Certainly not recommending that you go find and consume any though. Potentially harmful. Definitely magical.🍄🍄🍄 #flyagaric #soma #mushroomseason Beaut @avalonbehantattoos drawing beautiful autumnal windows ✨🧡🌱 #zerowastepantry Some of this weekend's organic herb harvest gathered from @lawsonsmarketgarden. Marigold and Camomile. Both are common medicinal plants that are easy to grow in the UK, although Marigold are often only thought of as pretty border decorations. 😂 🌼Magickal lore of marigolds...🌼 Marigold was one of the earliest cultivated flowers, thought to have originated in Egypt. Introduced to Britain and other countries by the Romans. Marigolds have been used for thousands of years both medicinally and magickally. Ancient Egyptians used them to rejuvenate their skin among other things. The Ancient Greeks used the petals for decoration, and natural colouring for food, make-up, dying fabrics and medicinal uses. In India, Tibet, and Nepal, there are sacred traditions of the flowers being strung into garlands for weddings and religious rituals. In Europe, Marigolds have been grown in gardens since at least the 12th century, where they were attributed powers of protection and prophecy. One medieval author named Macer described Marigold how looking upon the blooms would improve eyesight and draw evil “humors” from the head. In Medieval England they were also used for protection and love spells. Some types of marigold are considered entheogenic and used as visionary herbs. They are part of the magickal lore of Mexico. The marigold also was regarded as the flower of the dead in pre-Hispanic Mexico and used in Day of the Dead celebrations, their scent thought to draw back souls of the deceased. It is thought that marigold was used by the Aztecs in their ritual incense known as Yauhtli, as a medicine, and in rituals where they blew a powder made from the flowers on the faces of those to be sacrificed, again linking Marigolds to the otherwordly. 🌱Medicinal Properties🌱 Marigold's most popular use from ancient times to now has been for healing the skin of wounds, burns, rashes, itchiness, bites and swelling (particularly Calendular or Pot Marigold). It has been found that Marigold has the ability to promote the growth of healthy new tissue, increase blood flow to the affected area... So cheap and easy to make your own local #sustainable, #organic, #unprocessed, #zerowaste, #plantbased milks. I like to use oats, hemp, and sunflower seeds grown l locally in the UK or homegrown and foraged nuts when they’re in season to reduce food miles, but you can use pretty much any grain or nut. Soak, blend, add a pinch of salt and natural sweetener if you like, strain, bottle, drink. Much easier than housing, feeding, impregnating, getting rid of their babies, and milking an animal who’s breast milk our bodies aren’t even designed to drink. ✌️ I rarely use them for myself but have been drinking some chai recently and find it helpful to carry a small bottle when out and about to avoid the tetrapak cartons in cafes and restaurants. 🍃 #zerowastevegan
