The Collapse of Civilization Is Happening Now, But Connecting With Nature Can Help Us Cope.

The Ecological Collapse and Overshoot are driving climate chaos and civilization collapse. The collapse of our food production system will be the biggest wake-up call that no one expected to happen as quickly as it is. It starts with the fear of rising food prices like eggs. but the bigger shocks are when grain, corn, rice, and other common staples start to collapse. What is it the we can do to cope with these situations?

Foods that traditionally have been associated with famine need to be foods which we focus on for the future. Interestingly many of these foods also have ranges from sub-tropical to the arctic circle and there is evidence that humans have been eating these foods since before the neolithic.

Reed Mace, Typha Latifolia

Silver Weed, Potentilla anserina

Lesser Celandine, Ranunculus ficaria

Duck Potato, Sagittaria latifolia

We continue to forget that the Amazon was a planted forest. 

However, this is too little too late. 

There is now enough CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere to sterilise the surface of the planet. 

Is it still worth planting these species along with many others? Of course it is, this is what reconnects us with nature as the last thing we do before we go extinct.

What Do You Want Of Me?

Sit Under a Tree & Ask it What it Wants of Me. This is the impossible question because humans don't speak tree, so any answer is a projection.  "Shamanic Practitioner" is a Modern New-Ager from the industrial Capitalist world who imagines or projects themselve to be a shaman, without the trials and connection to nature that indigenous shaman go through or learn. Most shamanic practitioners reject the learning of any type of skills that indigenous shamans may have learned prior to being chosen by the tribes elders to go into the wilderness and be apprenticed to a shaman, because they don't think we are going to hunt & gather in the future. Anyone could be excused for believing that wilderness survival is just a case of reading a few manuals. Reality, however, is very different.  I don't think these LARPing shamanic types can be blamed for thinking survival skills are easy to just pick up. Connection To The Ancient Landacape   I have a degree in Sustainable ...

Why do plastic medicine people & neo Shaman make drums as their go-to ceremonial noise-maker tool? Its simple, you can get it all in kit form. Perfectly machined drum hoop, skins ready to go and thong precision cut. They probably "birthed" their drum in a workshop, learning from someone else, who did exactly the same, with exactly the same materials,from simillar suppliers. The cultural traditions of plastic medicine people and neo-shamans is based in the consumption of woodlands, industrial wood machining and mass slaughter. Cherry wood Bullroarer, made by the author The Bullroarer however is far older than the drum, making a distinctive resonant undulating vibrating sound. It has been found among indigenous peoples of Africa, North America & Australia. All of these cultures use them ceremonially. Some cultures believe they are inbued with the spirits of the dead, and that bynplaying them we honour their spirits abd unvite them to be present. Bullroarers ...
