Christian from Treveri Cellars This was the last video interview I made during The Grand Tasting at Taste Washington 2024.  Treveri Cellars makes organic sparkling wines and has been doing it for many years. While some wines are made with “traditional” sparkling wine grapes, like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, they also venture out and make sparkling Gewurztraminer and Riesling. I tasted a glass of…

The Battle of Killiecrankie

Lochiel’s Charge at Killycrankie by James Grant. Source: Wikipedia

On this day in 1689, the Battle of Killiecrankie took place in Tayside. The battle was part of the fighting in Scotland and Ireland that took place following the deposition of King James VII (James II of England) in the Glorious Revolution. Answering James’ call to defend the House of Stuart, many of the Highland clans rose against the new regime of King William III in the Williamite Rebellion. Government forces entered the Highlands under Hugh Mackay and were ambushed in the Pass of Killiecrankie by a Highland army led by Viscount “Bonnie” Dundee. Although initially the Jacobite troops suffered fearful casualties from the continuous vollies of the Williamite force, the government army was unable to withstand a charge by the Highlanders that broke its centre and led to a rout. Despite securing a comprehensive victory, Dundee himself was hit by a musket ball and died of his wound the following day. Mackay was able to rally the government forces and the rebellion was eventually put down. Dundee himself was rumoured to be a warlock who could only be killed by a silver bullet. It is not known whether the ball that did for him was indeed crafted from silver.

On this day in 1526, Peter Treveris’ Grete Herball was published describing various herbal remedies, some still in use to this day. He also warned against cold bathing, which could be fatal and stated that too much drinking of water as a child could lead to death by drowning in later life. Treveris’ recipe for Oil of Violets is particularly helpful: ‘Oyle of vyolettes is made thus. Sethe vyolettes in oyle and strayne it. It will be oyle of vyolettes.’

National Herb Day

It is National Herb Day on May 4! It is usually celebrated annually on the first Saturday of May. The HerbDay Coalition, an organization of five non-profit groups, started National Herb Day to raise awareness about the useful properties and importance of herbs in daily life. They also work towards encouraging people to learn more about the herbs and provide a better understanding of the extensive uses of herbs in daily life. Herbs are extensively used in food, medicines, and cosmetics. They also served as the first medicines ever used by humans to cure various ailments.

History of National Herb Day

Botanically, herbs are classified as the green parts of a plant used in food or medicine. Herbs are as old as human civilizations and have been used for cooking and medicine since time immemorial. There is well-preserved archaeological evidence pointing to the use of herbs 60,000 years ago. Neanderthals, ancestors of modern Homo sapiens, started using herbs for healing. In a way, we can say that herbs predate even that of recorded history and form the origin of much of modern medicine. Archeologists have discovered traces of pollen and other plant materials near burials, indicating the use of herbs.

There is hardly any civilization that didn’t take advantage of the use of herbs. The Sumerians, Egyptians, Indians, and Chinese all used herbs independently of one another. They created clay tablets that date back 5,000 years and listed hundreds of medicinal plants on them. In Egypt, texts like Papyrus Ebers describe ailments, treatments, and around 850 medicinal plants. The Indian medicinal school of Ayurveda, which uses natural remedies and herbal medicine to cure health conditions, is still prevalent in this modern age. Ayurvedic medicine has used many herbs dating back to 4000 B.C.

The study and use of herbs thrived in the Middle Ages when most cultures attributed spiritual qualities to herbs. A prominent example is the holy status of basil leaves in India. There is also a resurgence in the use of herbs in the last 40 years due to the impact of chemical drugs and the investment in pharmaceutical research and development. To address the growing popularity of herbs and to spread their importance, the HerbDay Coalition started National Herb Day.

Artio, the celtic bear goddess. Available as print. She was worshipped by the Helvetii and Treveri, borth germanic tribes. ⁠ Proof of her worship has been found in a gorge in Weilerbach, Germany in form of an inscription ("Artioni Biber") and in Bern, Switzerland where archeologists found a small bronze sculpture of her.⁠ That sculpture was the inspiration for my own interpretation

Okay, typing this out with possibly a second covid infection on top of my long covid, so the brainfog is real. Hope it makes sense, lol

Some thoughts on Nemetona and sacred space

Basic intro from Wikipedia: "Nemetona, or 'she of the sacred grove', is a Celtic goddess with roots in northeastern Gaul. She is thought to have been the eponymous deity of the Germano-Celtic people known as the Nemetes;[2][3] evidence of her veneration is found in their former territory along the Middle Rhine[1][4] as well in the Altbachtal sanctuary in present-day Trier, Germany.[3][2][5] She is also attested in Bath, England, where an altar to her was dedicated by a man of the Gallic Treveri people.[2][6]"

So Nemetona is the Goddess of the Sacred Grove, which is what the Gaul and British people possibly used to venerate their deities. A lot of what you find about modern veneration of Nemetona is how she is the Goddess of the Grove, the Goddess of the sacred places deep within the woods. And I have absolutely felt her presence there. So I didn't bother to look further tbh.

Then, at the beginning of the week, I felt the call to look deeper into her, and perhaps reconnect with her on a deeper level. I came across the book Dancing with Nemetona by Joanna van der Hoeven. It's not a great book, and it is not a long book, but it had some pretty good points about where to find Nemetona outside of the Grove:

Your personal space. We all have this bubble of space which we consider "ours", an invisible border that people can invade when they get too close. This is *your* space, *your* body and therefore it is/can be sacred.

Your home and hearth. Another example of *your* space that hopefully is a safe environment. A place where you can relax and be your true self. Take care to keep it that way, or to create a small bit of safe and comforting space within your home if you share it with others. One room, the showerstall, whatever you need. This can also be sacred space, dedicated to Nemetona.

Ritual space. Joanne is a druid, so they very much still work with casting circles, which is a pretty obvious example of making sacred space. However, your altar/shrine space, your kitchen while creating kitchen magic, your art studio, all can be made sacred if/when you need it.

Sanctuary. We talked about safe space before, so anything that is a sanctuary can also be a sacred space to Nemetona. Wildlife reserves, (women's) shelters, even churches.

It gave me a lot to think about and new ways to connect with Nemetona without "just" needing to see her as a Goddess of Sacred Groves. So hail the Lady of Sanctuary, hail the Lady of Boundaries and Edges, hail Nemetona!

A quienes el enemigo no había matado durante el pillaje de la ciudad [406, Trier=Trèves=Treveris, a orillas del río Mosela], los destruía el calamitoso estado de la ciudad después del saqueo, porque lo que había escapado a la muerte, durante la destrucción, había sucumbido durante el ruinoso estado en que había quedado la ciudad. Algunos murieron por heridas profundas, otros fueron quemados por los incendios del enemigo y sufrieron torturas, incluso después de que las llamas se extinguieron. Algunos perecieron de hambre, otros por desnudez, algunos, después de lento languidecimiento, otros paralizados por el frío, y, todos por igual, por diversas muertes se precipitaron a una muerte común. ¿Algo peor que esto? Otras ciudades sufrieron la destrucción de esta única ciudad. Por todos lados yacían cuerpos desgarrados y desnudos de ambos sexos, un espectáculo que yo mismo y pude comprobar, harapientos, manchando los ojos con que miraban la ciudad, desgarrados por pájaros y perros. El hedor fúnebre de los muertos era pestilencia para los vivos. La muerte exhalaba olor a muerte. Así, incluso aquellos que habían escapado de la destrucción de la ciudad sufrieron los males que surgieron del pillaje ajeno.

Un sentier romain dans la vallée de la Moselle

La vallée de la Moselle est la plus ancienne région viticole d'Allemagne. Les Romains introduisirent la viticulture dans cette région et plantèrent des vignes le long de la Moselle il y a 2000 ans. Après avoir colonisé la région vers 50 avant notre ère et fondé la ville de Trèves (Augusta Treverorum) en 17 avant notre ère, une culture gallo-romaine se développa sur le territoire de la tribu belge des Treveri (les Trévires) qui habitait la vallée dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Luxembourg, le sud-est de la Belgique et le sud-ouest de l'Allemagne.

My German is really rusty, but i think that either war goddess Bellona or city goddess Treveris is portrayed here. The vase is actually a wine jar and it has an interesting text: “ ACCIPE ET VTERE FELIX - Nimm (den Wein) und benutze (das Gefäß) glücklich”

Reposted from @karlmarx8n - Hace 201 años, concretamente el 5 de mayo de 1818, se producía el natalicio de Karl Marx en Tréveris (Alemania). Hoy, como es habitual, lo recordamos con cuatro citas muy interesantes: Igual que en la religión el hombre es dominado por el producto de su propia cabeza, en la producción capitalista lo es por el producto de su propia mano. La burguesía no solo forja su propia destrucción, sino también a su propio sepulturero: el proletariado. La manera como se presentan las cosas no es la manera como son; y si las cosas fueran como se presentan la ciencia entera sobraría. Las ideas dominantes de una época siempre fueron solo las ideas de una clase dominante. #Marx #Engels #Lenin #Comunismo #Communism #Socialismo #Socialism #KarlMarx #Treveris - #regrann (en Chiriquí, Chiriqui, Panama) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFiX3bge_R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=106y1oo592hth
