I've been absent for quite a long time but SEE HOW COOL CORN IS. Such a shame it looses some color with the pericón I use to boil it, but it's so pretty I almost wanted to let dry.

Empieza septiembre y me dan ganas de preparar té de pericón mientras escucho la lluvia caer.

Lacas de Olinala

The pottery and basketry have remained almost intact since the pre-Hispanic period, while others have undergone significant changes in terms of their technique and design since the colonial period. Today, most of the production is available for sale in tourist centers such as Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, and Taxco, where the modern evolution of craftsmanship influences. Craft traditions include painting on amate bark, Olinalá lacquerware, and Taxco silverware.

Review of the manufacturing status of the figure

The Declaration of Protection for the Designation of Origin of Olinalá Lacquerware was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) on July 22, 2022. The new Designation of Origin (DO) designates the municipality of Olinalá in the state of Guerrero as a protected geographical area and seeks to keep alive the tradition and technique of wood lacquering.

This designation identifies Mexican lacquerware as a pre-Hispanic artisanal technique consisting of the application of a mixture of dolomitic earth, animal fat, and vegetable oils that is spread (preferably) with the palm of the hand in uniform overlapping layers on the surface of the object to be coated, whether these are guajes, jícaras, bateas, or wooden objects made in the municipality of Olinalá.

Uses

The wood used for making trunks, boxes, trays, and other decorative objects comes from the "linaloe" tree, very aromatic and common in the region. The production of these crafts is of enormous complexity and laboriousness. It serves to store valuable objects or jewelry with more value.

HOW IT'S MADE

https://youtu.be/Lyyj3E-Bgsw?si=TRXfqTPr1ZZ6FI-s

It is mainly made with ceramics and detailed figures representing the traditional cultures of the state of Guerrero.

Olinalá lacquerware, originating from the state of Guerrero in Mexico, is traditionally made using linaloe or cedar wood, as well as natural pigments such as cochineal, añil, and pericón. These materials are combined with varnishing and hand painting techniques to create the elaborate and colorful pieces of art that characterize Olinalá lacquerware.

Where in Guerrero are Olinala lacquerware made?

This town is located in the mountainous area of the state of Guerrero and, along with Temalacatzingo, are the production centers for these crafts made with lacquer (or maque, as some scholars call it, to differentiate it from other types of industrial lacquers).

Who created them or proposed them

Francisco Coronel Navarro, originally from the city of Chilpancingo, Guerrero, was born in 1941. At the age of seven, he began making miniature boxes or stick boxes, the so-called "Olinalá Boxes," to sell at fairs in Tlapa, Tepalzingo, Tejalpa, Petlalcingo, Chalma, snow fair or Tuxtla fair. During the seventies, he rescued the gilding technique on the guaje, which had been abandoned due to the cost of lamination and the laboriousness of the process, but which dates back to the great laminators of colonial altarpieces.

"Las diferentes versiones del Pericón nacional (1901-1906)". Estudio publicado en Le Grimh-Groupe de Réflexion sur l'Image dans le Monde Hispanique sobre varias películas argentinas de principios del siglo XX en las que la Casa Enrique Lepage et Cia. filmó el baile del Pericón. De estas películas, solamente se ha encontrado por ahora la versión de 1906.

El Pericón recuerda a algunos bailes del folklore canario, por lo demás nada extraño dados los flujos migratorios que se dieron en su momento, y todavía hoy se baila en la localidad de Agüimes, de Gran Canaria, su distintivo Pericón de Agüimes. En esta versión de 1906, el baile forma parte de una especie de parodia con un personaje principal llamado Cocoliche, símbolo de la integración del inmigrante italiano en la cultura rioplatense. Aunque se trataba de un personaje muy querido por el pueblo argentino, desde la perspectiva actual su comportamiento resulta controvertido.

Ha sido un verdadero placer recibir la invitación para elaborar este artículo junto a Jean-Claude Seguin.

“Heh, it’s always an emergency when it’s you.” Wholly unmoved and more than acquainted with Vash’s theatrics, he can have a chuckle at Vash’s expense. God knows the man has been the main source of strife in his life as of late. Well, that isn’t entirely fair. What he calls strife is really a spectrum ranging from bad to good. Graciously providing the spiky-headed menace a bag of donuts falls unequivocally into ‘good strife’ territory.

“Mmh,” Wolfwood grunts dismissively, tilting his chin into his hand and covering his mouth. Shielding his cigarette from the blistering breeze, as it were. 

Horizon-bound, he trains his eyes on the nondescript nodules and bumps off in the distance of an otherwise unremarkable landscape. Best to not let Vash the Stampede fully out of his sight, so of course, in Nicholas’s periphery is the perfect place to put the Humanoid Typhoon. 

“Not very aerodynamic, accountin’ for the giant hole in the middle ‘n all.” Using a donut as a piss-poor substitute for a proper pericón hardly qualifies for proper discourse, but he plays along anyway. “Maybe if ya had a handful of ‘em.”  

Wolfwood makes an attempt of fanning himself with his donut anyway, curving his hand towards his face coquettishly to peer at Vash over a pink-frosted donut rim. As coquettishly as a full-grown man can affect with a rainbow sprinkles donut in his hand, anyway. He tried. 

Continuing their conversation is easier without a donut in the way. He takes his first few bites without overly revealing any strong indication of approval or relish of his (re)gifted pastry.

“...Not bad.” The stickiness left behind on his skin feels annoying, and Wolfwood focuses on licking away the residual sweetness off his fingertips. “Wouldn’t be my first choice, but not bad. Thanks, Tongari.”

@wolfwoocl

"Yeah! That's the emergency!" Vash is a little shrill and a lot dramatic, but he is also notably not letting go of the bag for a single second. The sparkling start to tears might be just a little more real than they usually are -- and only a little! -- but he manages to stop himself before anything too embarrassing happens. All things considered. But he is looking at Wolfwood like...

He's grateful, certainly. Appreciative. And a little bit fond. It's open and honest, something quiet beneath the humor and the drama that digs its way in deep. Something easily denied but not quite unseen. He knows he can be... a lot sometimes, whether he means to be or not, but...

"Thank you. Really." It's devastatingly simple. There's no joke, no sarcasm, no hiding behind humor, but Vash doesn't dwell on it. The moment feels too-- Something. No need to define it.

There's some savoring in that first selected treat from the bag. Turning the donut in different ways like it's in need of inspection, appreciation, then a deep breath to get the smell. That's sort of when savoring stops and hunger takes over, sure, but there's more than one to enjoy. He even chews! And swallows! Politely!

"Oh yeah? A donut could double as a fan, you know." It could not, obviously, and while that isn't the most ridiculous thing out of his mouth in recent memory, it's up there. He still digs into the bag again and holds out one precious donut to Wolfwood like he intends to get the guy to prove him right or wrong, determined expression on his face.

He's... sharing, actually. Proving himself capable of it. Making a very brave attempt.

Tagetes lucida / Mexican Marigold at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens at Duke University in Durham, NC

[viniciusleal2121]

Incense of the day... MARIGOLD.

Marigolds are herbaceous plants, some perennial, some annual, of the Asteraceae family, the blooms made up of many tiny florets. They are native to North and South America but are popular garden plants throughout the world. Some of the more popular cultivated varieties are Mexican Marigold Tagetes erecta and French Marigold Tagetes patula.

History and Folklore

The Latin name Tagetes comes from the name Tages, an Etruscan prophet of ancient fame who taught others about divination. The common name, marigold, is from Mary's Gold, though it was originally applied to calendula.

The marigold is an important flower in certain religious ceremonies in Nepal and is used to decorate Hindu temples in India. Marigold is considered the flower of the dead in Mexico where it is used to decorate ancestral altars for Day of the Dead celebrations. After the Spanish invasion, the Aztecs viewed the marigold flower as a symbol of the Spanish invasion and the massacre of their people and destruction of their way of life.

In the language of flowers, marigold means "pain and grief" or signifies a wish to comfort one who is grieving.

Growing Marigold

Marigold is easy to grow as an annual. There are some perennial varieties that grow well in tropical areas that can also be grown as as an annual in more temperate regions. Marigold can be grown from seed or young plants can be readily purchased at just about any nursery or the gardening section of your favorite big box store. It's not picky about soil though they prefer it to be well-drained. Marigolds need a good sunny spot to thrive. Plant your marigolds in the spring as soon as the soil is warm and the danger of frost is past. If you keep your marigolds happy, they will bloom from spring right through to fall.

The scent of marigold is said to repel some insects and animals and chemicals released by their roots are said to repel nematodes. Because of this, it is considered an excellent companion plant for just about any other plant. However, it should not be used with legumes.

Marigold provides food for some species of butterflies and their larvae.

Healing with Marigold

The essential oil of Tagetes minuta or stinking Roger, usually sold as Tagetes oil can be used as an insect repellent and to prevent and help heal fungal and bacterial infections of the skin. It can be added to bath water or a vaporizer to help sooth coughs or added to a wash to help speed the healing of wounds, especially those that are weeping and slow to heal. A tea can be used for intestinal worms.

Tagetes oil is also used for aromatherapy to relieve tension and promote clear thinking and emotional control.

Tagetes lucida is used to in a tea to treat abdominal cramps, and in a bath to treat rheumatism, but it is also rumored to be strongly psychoactive and should be used with care.

Culinary Uses of Marigold

Tegates minuta is used as a culinary herb in South America where it is called huacatay. Tegates lucida is known as pericón or Texas tarragon is also used as a culinary herb and is used to make an anise-flavored tea in Mexico.

The petals of Tegates erecta flowers can be used in salads and to create a bright yellow dye.

Magical and Spiritual Use of Marigold

Mexican marigold resonates with the energy of the sun

Tagetes lucida has a psychoactive action and has been smoked ceremonially in combination with Nicotiana rustica when peyote was eaten and it may be drunk as a tea to promote visions.

All types of marigolds can be used as offerings to the dead and as decoration for ancestor altars.

Marigold Lore and Magic

Marigold must be taken only when the moon is in the Sign of the Virgin... And the gatherer, who must be out of deadly sin, must say three Pater Nosters and three Aves. It will give the wearer a vision of anyone who has robbed him.

Marigolds are a sturdy annual and quite familiar. They have been domesticated into a variety of sizes, some with tiny flowers, and others large and magnificent. Most have a golden color, but may range from bright yellow to deep, dark hues. The flowers may be gathered when in full bloom and hung upside down in a warm and dry place until the petals are completely dry.

They were said to relieve hiccups and the effects of being struck by lightning. No wonder they were considered magical plants. The marigold has healing properties and is used as a natural antifungal, antiseptic, and antibacterial treatment. Add the fresh flowers to salad greens and eat to promote good health and strengthen the immune system.

Make a tea by steeping the flowers and drink to solve love problems. Pour a quart of the tea into your bathwater on a Sunday to increase your popularity and admiration among peers. The seeds are sacred to Apollo and, when eaten, bring visions.

The marigold flower is rife with a variety of symbolism. To start, these flowers are called “the flower of the sun” and are representative of passion, warmth and creativity. To others, this flower is a symbol of comfort and contentment with simplicity. As a gift, marigolds may be a great expression of either warm or fiercely passionate love, or a simple way of saying that you feel happy and comfortable with the recipient. These flowers are sometimes given in themed gift baskets, but they are most commonly used in vibrant bouquets.

There are a number of different flowers commonly known as the Marigold, and when it comes to lore and magic, it can be confusing.

Common marigold (Tagetes) - Originally from South America, has been used as a source of essential oil for the perfume, and as a flavourant and food coloring in the food and tobacco industries. Tagetes is not to be confused with the genus Calendula, which goes by "marigold" in some areas.

Pot marigold (Calendula) - Flowers were used in ancient Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern and Indian cultures as a medicinal herb as well as a dye for fabrics, foods and cosmetics.

Mexican marigold (Tagetes erecta) - Dried leaves are ground into a powder then used as a tarragon substitute for flavoring soups, sauces etc. A pleasant anise-flavored tea, popular in Latin America, is brewed using the dried leaves and flowering tops. The petals are used as a condiment.

Tree marigold (Tithonia diversifolia) - Having a characteristic bitter taste, they were used to induce a fever to help fight poisoning, although not used for direct medicinal purposes.

Desert marigold (Baileya multiradiata) -A genus of three species in the aster family. Baileya species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (butterflies).

Corn marigold (Glebionis segetum) - In Crete and Greece, the leaves and the tender shoots of a variety called neromantilida (νερομαντηλίδα) are eaten raw in salads or browned in hot olive oil by the locals.

French marigold (Tagetes patula) -Medicinally, many cultures use infusions from dried leaves or florets.The whole plant is harvested when in flower and distilled for its essential oil

Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) - As is the case with many members of the family Ranunculaceae, all parts of the plant are poisonous and can be irritant. Skin rashes and dermatitis have been reported from excessive handling of the plant.

Much of the traditional herbal lore and older magical information about the Marigold, is actually referring to the Pot Marigold or Calendula. What follows is what I have found that I am sure relates to the Common Marigold (tagates).

Marigolds are used as Visionary Herbes, and are part of the lore of Mexico. In that country it is sometimes said that they have their origin in the blood of the native peoples slain by the invading Spaniards. Marigolds are found in recipes for love divination, and it is also said that they give off bright sparks of light during a thunderstorm.

The species Tagetes lucida, known as "pericón," is used to prepare a sweetish, anise flavored medicinal tea in Mexico, brewed using the dried leaves and flowering tops. It is also used as a culinary herb in many warm climates. Dried leaves are ground into a powder then used as a tarragon substitute for flavoring soups, sauces etc. and offered in the nursery as "Texas tarragon" or "Mexican mint marigold."

The petals are used as a condiment. A yellow dye can be obtained from the flowers. The dried plant is burnt as an incense and to repel insects.

The marigold was regarded as the flower of the dead in pre-Hispanic Mexico, parallel to the lily in Europe, and is still widely used in the Day of the Dead celebrations to decorate ofrendas, papier mache and ceramic statues, altars, and graves of family members. This is because their scent is thought to draw back the souls of the dead.

Tagetes lucida was used by the Aztecs in their ritual incense known as Yauhtli. Aztecs used Tagete lucida both as a medicine and in rituals where they blew a powder made from the flowers on the faces of victims before the sacrifice.The plants was linked to the rain's god Tlaloc. The plant is also used by the Huichol, mixed with a potent wild tobacco (Nicotiana rustica), for its claimed psychotropic and entheogenic effects.

Tagetes minuta, native to southern South America is a tall upright marigold plant with small flowers, and is used as a culinary herb in Peru, Ecuador, and parts of Chile and Bolivia, where it is called by the Incan term huacatay. Huacatay paste is used to make the popular potato dish called ocopa. Having both "green" and "yellow/orange" notes, the taste and odor of fresh Tagetes minuta is like a mixture of sweet basil, tarragon, mint and citrus. It is also used as a medicinal tea in some areas.

The marigold is very significant in Nepalese culture where marigold garlands are used almost in every household especially during the Tihar festival. It is always sold in the markets for daily worships and rituals.

The marigold is also widely cultivated in India and Thailand, particularly the species Tagates erecta, Tagates patula, and Tagates tenuifolia. Vast quantities of marigolds are used in garlands and decoration for weddings, festivals, and religious events.

In Ukraine, Tagetes erecta, Tagetes patula, and the signet marigold, Tagetes tenuifolia are regarded as one of the national symbols, and are often mentioned in songs, poems and tales.

My guitar teacher has a friend that plays Country music and he plays in country festivals here in Argentina 😳

Country as a genre is not huge but since we receive a lot of music mostly from English-speaking countries (USA and UK) some of it does get in here. And with internet and Spotify its a lot easier to get into any of it.

Still... we have our own folkcloric music (chamamé, zamba, gato, pericón -our national dance-, malambo, etc) and some musicians do go for a more modern sound.

We don't need Country but some do like it anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

Example: this song was super popular when I was 10 years or so... its basically a Carnavalito (a rythm from the Northwest of my country)

This one too... it's a chamamé (from the pampas and mesopotamic provinces)

I wanna know if anyone ever watched Doc and didn't know Billy Ray Cyrus was a singer until later or at least not from the beginning.

Tagetes lucida is a medicinal plant and culinary herb in Mexico and Central America, but not, as far as I know, in Italy.

Lacas de olinala

la cerámica y la cestería, se han mantenido casi intactas desde el periodo prehispánico, mientras que otras han pasado por cambios significativos en cuanto a su técnica y diseño desde el periodo colonial. Hoy, la mayoría de la producción se encuentra a la venta en centros de turismo como Acapulco, Zihuatanejo y Taxco, donde influye la evolución moderna de la artesanía. Las tradiciones artesanales incluyen la pintura en corteza de amate, las lacas de olinalá y la platería de Taxco.

Reseña del estado en fabricación de la figura

La Declaración de Protección a la Denominación de Origen Lacas de Olinalá fue publicada en el Diario Oficial de la Federación (DOF) el 22 de julio de 2022. La nueva Denominación de Origen (DO) delimita como zona geográfica protegida al municipio de Olinalá del Estado de Guerrero y busca mantener viva la tradición y técnica de laqueado de objetos de madera.

Esta denominación identifica la laca o maque mexicano como una técnica artesanal de origen prehispánico consistente en la aplicación de una mezcla de tierras dolomíticas, grasa animal y aceites vegetales que se extiende (preferentemente) con la palma de la mano en capas uniformes superpuestas sobre la superficie del objeto a recubrir, sean estos guajes, jícaras, bateas u objetos de madera elaborados en el municipio de Olinalá.

https://www.olinala.gob.mx/

COMO SE HACE

https://youtu.be/Lyyj3E-Bgsw?si=TRXfqTPr1ZZ6FI-s

Se realiza mayormente con cerámica y se le añade detalladamente figuras representando a las culturas tradicionales del estado de Guerrero.

Las lacas de Olinalá, originarias del estado de Guerrero en México, se elaboran tradicionalmente utilizando madera de linaloe o cedro, así como pigmentos naturales como la grana cochinilla, el añil y el pericón. Estos materiales se combinan con técnicas de barnizado y pintura a mano para crear las elaboradas y coloridas piezas de arte que caracterizan a las lacas de Olinalá.

Para que sirve

La madera que se usa para la realización de los baúles, las cajitas, bandejas y demás objetos decorativos, proviene del árbol de “linaloe”, muy aromático y común en la región. La producción de estas artesanías es de una enorme complejidad y laboriosidad. Sirve para guardar objetos valiosos o joyerías con más valor

En que parte de guerrero se fabrican las lacas de olinala

Este pueblo se encuentra en la zona montañosa del estado de Guerrero y junto con Temalacatzingo, son los centros de producción de estas artesanías realizadas con laca (o maque, como algunos estudiosos lo llaman, para diferenciarlo de otro tipo de lacas industriales).

Quien las creo o que las propone

Francisco  Coronel   Navarro   originario  de   la  ciudad   de   Chilpancingo, Guerrero,  nació  en  el  año 1941,  a  los  siete años de  edad   comenzó a elaborar cajitas  miniatura o  cajas de   vara,    las   llamadas  "Cajas   de Olinalá", para  vender en  las ferias de  Tlapa,  de Tepalzingo, de Tejalpa, Petlalcingo, Chalma, feria   de  las  nieves  o  feria   de  Tuxtla. Durante la década  de  los  setenta,  rescató la  técnica  del  dorado sobre   el  guaje, misma  que  se  había  abandonado por  ser  costoso el  laminado y por  lo laborioso del  proceso, pero  que  data  de  los grandes laminadores de  los retablos coloniales.
