When we were close to the
rhythm of Earth's seasons,
The Healers, Wiccans, Druids, Medicine Folk, Shamans
brewed up remedies in caldrons to fortify, dispel and purge,
demons, noxious vapors, plagues, Grim Reaper and all things that go Boo in the night.
Usually depicted as demonic.
Usually crucified for their healing abilities.
Their remedies were humans first defense against plagues, viruses,
cold and flu.
Many are in use to this day.
I advocate an equilibrium wellness spot....the "E spot".
Balanced wellness: Nature's Wisdom and 21st century science allows us to
brew up our own remedies
as seasons change
as ecosystems falter
as humans deny.
Many died in human history when the seasons changed.
Inviting a redo of bubonic plague, leprosy, smallpox, consumption/tuberculosis, typhus, measles
is not part of the E Spot.
It is
for me
our ability to leverage acquired knowledge and nature's wisdom to heal;
to live in balance.
Wiccan On!
