The first installment of this series offers an Invitation to get to know our beloved elder sister who is called Nimisenh in the Anihshininiimowin language
Wow that is very powerful stuff. I may have to come visit if I get up to Mikmaqi this fall. There is a lot of powerful teaching in your post, the kind I am craving and my being is crying out for. I am quitting the organic farm to more deeply invest in generating negentropic systems across all levels and TEK is probably tops. Thank you for your diligence with this work and the forest protection work.
Hi Gavin! I have always had a special place in my heart for the conifers. My favorite thing about going Up North in Michigan was being among them, and the scent of Pine.
I just ordered "Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Ask : Anishinaabe Botanical Teachings "Elder Sister"." I love that name for the Balsam Fir so much. When the big White Pine went down here a few months ago, I noticed a few baby saplings sprouting around her. They were Balsam Firs. :)
I'm typing away, while a flood and tornado watch looms outside. It is pouring buckets and I know that this is not natural Mother Nature weather. Mostly I'm worried about the Trees.
Much Love to you, Gavin. Hope you and yours are safe and well. 💚
P.S. I'm going to download "Fragile Forest." I loved it. xo
P.P.S. New Hampshire is part of the Boreal Forest...
I am so glad you are getting a copy of that book, I found (and continue to find) it to be very enriching.
What a beautiful gift to see the seedlings sprouting after your White Pine friend went back to the Earth. I feel that through your using your gift of observation, your capacity for gratitude, love and hope to see that chain of events in the way in which you do, you are transmuting pain into medicine for the soul. Thank you for performing this sacred alchemy in your heart and mind sister <3
We have had several tornado watches recently, an intense hail storm (that hit people with tennis ball sized chunks of ice, punching holes in houses and windshields) and the other day at work lightning struck within 30 feet of where I was standing and I felt the concussive blast of the air igniting and the trunk exploding where it struck a tree nearby. The spraying programs and HAARP type activity (visibly magnetically aligned nano-particles being pushed into ripple patterns in the upper atmosphere right before large storm activity) in the skies above has been extreme recently. I sense that much of those events were created via weaponizing geoengineering tech. I agree that the frequency and intensity of these weather events is not due to Mother Earth's natural cycles.
I am so glad you dig the music and thanks for teaching me something new about New Hampshire
Oh my goodness, Gavin! I'm glad you're ok! I agree with you 100%. We have had extreme weather here, as well. Everything just seems abnormal. There was a lightening strike near here several days ago and the house and the ground under her shook. That's crazy about the hail. I truly don't know what's going to happen. I know more people are waking up to this but boy, it's dire. I just try to nurture what's in front of me for now.
Guess we are TOO boreal here. She doesn’t grow in these parts. We do have subalpine fir, which is great medicine.
Thanks for all the great info and insight.

Thank you my friend :)
I cannot take credit for the teachings but I am glad you appreciate the material.
Thank you for caring about our Mother and for taking the time to post this thoughtful comment.
