The Rime Sparse

So many are grabbing for the money, so many

Want a free lunch, or are cynical and settle

For entertainment, that the world has adopted

Shallowness as its habit, and what was once

Our birthright is now considered deviation.

So squandered is our natural wisdom, that he

Who seeks the source of the flowing itself,—the Muse’s spring—is thought a fool:

Who really desires laurel, or myrtle either?

“Goddess-lover, go, in the rags you deserve!”

Is what they’ll say, themselves

pursuing

More material gains.

You’ll find few comrades

On your chosen path;

but for that reason I pray

All the more that you will not falter.

Petrarch–translation by Dale Pendell

And who was Dale Pendell?

A great poetic story telling genius ✨️✨️I always love sharing those who inspire me or tickle the crevices of my mind🤸‍♀️

Dale Pendell (April 14, 1947 – 13 January 2018) was an American poet, ethnobotanist, and novelist. Writing in an evocative style all his own, he fused science, folklore, and poetry in describing the relationship between psychoactive plants and human beings. A long time student of ethnobotany, Pendell discussed historical and cultural uses of "power plants" in his works. He read and distilled the literature of pharmacology and neuroscience, of ethnobotany and anthropology, of mythology and political economics as they intersect with the direct experience of human psychoactive use.

no one knows I’m quoting the warning note in the three volume series of poetry about doing every kind of drug but that’s ok. I don’t need to be understood in this lifetime. when the posthumous connection is made between my blog and dale pendell then you’ll see. then you’ll all fucking see.

Dale Pendell, Pharmakopoeia

[coralinaroca]

As dreams are the healing songs from the wilderness of our unconscious- So wild animals, wild plants, wild landscapes are the healing dreams from the deep singing mind of the earth.

Plants are all chemists, tirelessly assembling the molecules of the world, and in their transactions with insects, birds, animals, and fungi, they find elaborate ways to defend themselves, to seduce pollinators, to confuse. “Only plants had consciousness. Animals got it from them.” - Pharmako/Poeia by Dale Pendell

I cheated on my reading list again and started “The Language of Birds” by Dale Pendell instead. I did, at least, finish the first part of “Man and his Symbols”, I had only two parts left from the first time I read through so this... this is an allowed cheat. Sue me.

Oh no, now cannabis and I have begun hanging with coffee.. we are a dangerously enjoyable trio.

And of course chocolate comes in too for a little to chill

"All too often, certain concepts in each get frozen into dogmatic or glib assertions. On one side, we might find “scientism,” reduced to what Gurdjieff called “nothing but-ism”—a wholly material explanation of everything. On the other side, a magical New Age worldview that can become so superstitious that it loses critical ability and the value of testing. So I wanted to work in between them."

Radio EarthRites: The Yearly!

Dear Friends, we recently had a hosting price increase  from our station provider, as well as rises in web cost, hosting, music purchases etc. (which all cost)

We have a wonderful group of supporters at this point but would like to see some growth in our support network to cover all the costs that we incur. 

We have 2 forms of donations (see the button here at the top of the page: https://gwyllm.com/radio-earthrites/ ) you can subscribe for a monthly plan, or you can make a one-time donation, hopefully once a year!

Radio EarthRites has been on the air pretty much continuously for 18 years, 365days/24 hours a day. We have been increasing our aural diversity, with new shows (Lee’s Real Music Radio Pod)  (Earth Riot with Reverend Billy) with shows featuring (Poets Mary Oliver,, Seamus Heaney Allen Ginsberg etc.) and Spoken word, (David Graeber & David Wengrow, Dale Pendell, John Trudell, Noam Chomsky etc. ) We have featured shows about Ancient Celtic Anarchy, Brehon Law, and much more. We will continue to expand the palette of Radio EarthRites, and with increased donations we will be able to start having live shows and more. We are in the process of bringing on guests to host shows weekly & monthly…

This a fundraiser, yes, but it is also a call out to those who want to have a Radio Show on EarthRites.

Please Help Support Radio EarthRites!

Thanks To All Our Supporters, You Know Who You Are! Gwyllm

Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herb Craft by Dale Pendell

[uberfluss]

I found a book series about the pharmacology, preparation, application and effects of the 5 classes of psychoactive plants as well as poisonous plants; and the alchemical origins of herbcraft but as well as like dictionary style information there's also like cryptic poetry since the author is both an ethnobotanist and a poet. it's absolutely insane and I fucking love it
