I am going to post a series of writings and art pieces exploring the following question:
How do I cultivate and remember the sacred journey of earth centered spirituality — exploring ties to my own cultural heritage while also respectfully learning from and being informed by the wisdom of other cultures– on stolen land, when indigenous peoples and people of colorsβ rights to sovereignty and freedom in spiritual expression are continuously violated?
Poems, explorations, clay, natural art, etc. Stay posted:)
- Reed and her many uses
Twisting reef for cordage Reed grows in wet places. To harvest properly you must find dense patches and small bundles from the outside. Clean up some of the dead debris if you want to thank the plant. Dry it out for a couple days in the sun then mellow the reeds in a wet towel overnight to make them flexible. I will be making cordage for general use and also to possibly make into a coil basket. It sure is tiring to twist over and over though.
It makes a beautiful strong and flexible rope. You can double or quadruple wrap it to thicken and strengthen it or split the reeds for a thread.
A medium sized thickness Greek people have traditionally used Reed for baskets and cordage. It feels good to do something that my ancestors would recognize- unlike driving a car or watching YouTube.
