  • Cedar "The Tree of Life"
    ✨UPDATE✨
    During this video, I make reference to CEDAR as being a medicine of the past. It is still a very important medicine to many First Nations Cultures of the present day.
    One of the challenges that many first nations cultures face is having their practices framed as past ones vs. living ones that are still active.
    Please excuse my ignorance of this important fact in the creation of this video. I resonate with the understanding that these are living practices and will work harder to be sure to frame indigenous wisdom from active cultures in the present tense in future videos.

    Cedar is one of the most versatile trees on the planet.

      Just wanted to say thanks for the very detailed videos, they are a pleasure to watch. My family and I are planning to do more herbal and wild crafting adventures starting this spring, been gathering field guides and have been helping my 74 yr old mother who has parkinson's disease to follow a holistic natural approach to help with her debilitation, I'm pleased to say she has been off all meds for almost 4 yrs now using only lions mane mushroom, cbds, cannabis, and some supplements :)
      Keep the good vids coming and stay happy and healthy, we're in central Montana if you ever get down that way hit me up would be fun to spend a day or two learning medicine with you.

    "I have an idea. Let's go on a cedar hike today." That sound like something I would say to a friend, who would promptly roll his or her eyes bur follow along anyway. I love cedars. I love how you always talk about the plant's spirits as well as the more typical biology stuff.

      @@Herbal_Jedi It is great to see you write that. I studied Botany for 3 years at university and I love plants but have been criticised and mocked when I say plants have consciousness and can essentially "think". People laugh but I got to that conclusion from learning more and more about them and the only explanation was, for plants to evolve or do what they do there has to be awareness. It's so refreshing to see someone write this.

    It's worth noting that the famous household cleaning agent called Pine - Sol used to contain 8-12 % real pine oil that was harvested from old yellow pine tree stumps that were left in the ground after clear cutting for at least 20 years or older but not anymore since supplies became limited .
    I've dug up several old cedar trees that were buried on my property and can definitely vouch for the intense smell of this pine oil which is highly flammable and very painful if it touches your mucous membranes or your eyes .

    As a lover of wetlands and wooded areas, and their indescribable poetic beauty, the best use of cedar, is taking shelter under its shade in the heat of summer, or to take shelter during snow storms, the deer seem to love to to take shelter under them in the winter.

    I have come across a few of your videos lately. I enjoy your videos about each plant and the sacredness in how to harvest. My property is surrounded by Cedars, Oaks, & Pines. I am now more interested in pursuing more medicine making. I have been making Elderberry tonic for quite a few years now. My Herbalism teacher told me we may need these plants some day for survival. I think she's right!

    😆 love some of the editing on these older ones.
    My dad is from by revelstoke, B.C. forest district and does salvage logging of cedars for hand cut shakes and shingles.
    it is dying out now to find them handmade because machines make everything now, but what a lovely job he had out there. Only taking some of each naturally fallen tree, or scraps from logging companies. I grew up helping him cut cedar shake blocks and load the truck so the smell of cedar is literally the tree of life to me too 🥰
