Eating the Wild

This quote was shared with me by Sean, a student of the BlackHeart line of Feri as well as the Green Magics of Wildcraft and Healing.  I share it because of what it says but also for the lush language with which it is said.  Thank you, Sean:

"If we eat the wild, it begins to work inside us, altering us, changing us. Soon, if we eat too much, we will no longer fit the suit that has been made for us. Our hair will begin to grow long and ragged. Our gait and how we hold our body will change. A wild light begins to gleam in our eyes. Our words start to sound strange, nonlinear, emotional. Unpractical. Poetic. Once we have tasted this wildness, we begin to hunger for a food long denied us, and the more we eat the more we will awaken." -- Stephen Harrod Buhner The Secret Teachings of Plants

wow - I am taking a morning intensive on this very subject with this very herbalist (Buhner) in a week and a half! It's called The Ecstatic Path, but it's really about eating the wild. I have been really excited about it, and you've just added to it. weeeeeeee

Thanks!

This quote cuts to the heart of my fear with Feri; being so wild and different and *other* that I no longer fit in or blend in. Thank Sean for me, this cut to the heart and when the heart opened I saw the beauty of this wild thing inside it.

My gratitude to you both for the words and the sharing.

Love and Power indeed!
