Ancestral Reverence as Devotion to the Earth - Daniel Foor

Your body is your ancestor altar, how hungry ghosts affect the living, the earth as the repository of ancestral wisdom, & more...

In the Intro:

  • Cleatus B. Wright , January 20, 1929 - February 27th, 1929

In the Interview:

  • The hunger for our ancestors
  • The story of Daniel's first ancestral connection, and the healing that followed
  • The ancestors are the collective wisdom of our species in all its beauty and trauma
  • Time collapses when in communion with the ancestors
  • Not all of the dead are equally well
  • The deeply embedded alcoholism in my fatherline
  • Addiction as the hunger of the dead moving through the bodies of the living, and the act of taking the substance as a form of ancestral communion
  • There are very few personal problems- a look at unmetabolized ancestral pain and systemic injustice
  • The dead can change
  • Ancestral forgetting as a function of the damage wrought by colonialism
  • We don't arrive at healing by exiling those who commit harm: an approach for white folks wishing to address their slave owning/colonizing/oppressive ancestral legacy (rather than ignoring it or living in perpetual guilt)
  • The role of the ancestors in social and earth justice
  • The interweaving of ritual, genealogical research, and healing
  • Synchronicity
  • They are shaking us awake in the burning house- the growing sense of urgency coming to us from the ancestors at this pivotal point in human history
  • The dead are in the earth, and the ancestors are animating the earth that is our bodies
  • Approaching activism in a more ritual oriented way
  • When a child is a returning of an ancestral lineage, mothering is my main form of ancestral reverence, and remembering that our children are the future ancestors of our further descendants
  • Are souls that die suddenly lost in limbo?
  • I ask Daniel a vulnerable question about my mom, who died in a car accident in November 2015
  • The most important way that we prepare for death is to be ethical and kind
  • Animism: living humans are just one kind of person / coming into relationship with the wider web of being

Lost Lineages & Ever Evolving Lore - Milla Prince

Lost Lineages & Ever Evolving Lore - Milla Prince

As people and communities move and change with time, stories evolve and lineages are lost. But information always goes where it needs to in order to survive and resurface again when needed. Ancestral stories can guide us on our paths, and lost lineages can be remembered. Milla Prince is an herbalist, writer, and teacher who moved from Finland, where she had been deeply immersed since childhood in ancestral plant lore from that intact tradition, to the west coast of America about 10 years ago. Her blog, newsletter, Instagram account, Fireweed & Nettle herbal medicines, and The Cauldron zine reach tens of thousands of people each month. But I knew her when... and we talk about how funny that when was, as well as touching on a large range of other topics. We talk about: The unexpected internet subculture that first brought us together Bear lore and the myth that spans the northern lands and shapes Milla’s online identity Baba Yaga arising in the collective consciousness right now The dream that guided Milla to change her work in the world The circuitous paths we take when finding ourselves Ancestral medicine & being indigenous to a place Cultural appropriation as a symptom of spiritual longing #witch #ancestry #medicine and mimetic expression online (evolving lore!) The trauma of the burning times Working with ancestral lines that are lost to you Links: Milla's website The Woman Who Married a Bear Eve Bradford Max Dashu The Seven Daughters of Eve book  Giving Voice to Bear book The Spirit Weavers Gathering The Good Medicine Confluence Palestine on a Plate book Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles book Music by Mariee Siou (from the song Wild Eyes) Mythic Medicinals herbals Take our fun quiz Which Healing Herb Matches Your Energy?
