Understanding Kung Fu for life, health and self defense

Wisdom and Fiery Passion

This week one of my favorites herbalist passed away. There were many things that I loved about her, a few of them were, she was very against herbicides, chemical agriculture and that it was important to truly take care of our earth.

My heart goes out to those close to Cascade and to all those touched by her passing. May we continue to share her wisdom and fiery passion.

Below are some words of wisdom from Cascade, from a student that study with her.

Nature knows ahead what sickness there will be. What is abnormally abundant is what is coming.

We need to wildcraft in order to keep things coming back.

Plants are babies and babies come first.

Waste is our own small evil.

If you don’t take from the wild you aren’t appreciating it.

Taking life [harvesting plants] is a sacred act; what you say and what you do is extremely important.

We are the voices of the plants.

You can’t wildcraft until your well is filled.

Knowledge of how to harvest

Dressed well

Right tools

Right mindset

Consciousness

Practice your highest self.

Our job is to enliven and thrive.
