The sacred art of foraging
Hello! This month is the month of foraging. As I'm uploading this video, it is the full moon. I am calling it, the moon of the colored trees. I know this is a very special moon and that this season does not last long. Foraging is something that I began doing for my art when I attended school at the Burren College of Art in Ireland and I have been doing it and incorporating it into my art ever since. I wanted to make a video about it to show that it's not just about collecting supplies from nature, it's far deeper than that. It's a sacred practice and a spiritual practice. This is why I am so in awe of and inspired by the indigenous people of the Americas and the art they make and have made. I don't really know how to put this into words, so I'll stop now.

I reference the short film "The Great Kind Mystery" by artist Ella Morton.

The earth has always had the ability to support life and humans forever, because it was sustainable the way it was set up. It was never meant to support an Economy or a corporate mentality. where everything is a commodity or a resource to be used bought and sold.

'Lovely Maid, in the forest you go, from the mother a gift, her colours, your clothes and hair, it's all from her, the richness, it never stops growing - inside of us, we mirror, sun and storm, rainbow and shadow, misty morngings, mystic flows whereever we are with her, connected, forever in paradise. she's the wonder and you're her child. breath, we are one, holy bond, mother and child, so sweet to see the children play on the ground. so sweet to hear the children giggle and laugh, sweet melody, soothing, harmony. pure love. peace. sweet symphony.' by me

Thank you for this video, it inspires me ! Much love to you Suzanne Joy! Foraging is so satisfying, magical and JOYful!!! Collecting things is a natural need which all of us have since we are little! Mother earth gifted me a lot of treasures this year, apples, tomatoes, herbs, sunflowers, rasperries (still gifting!), ohhhhh the list is long and we are so thankful every day for all the gifts! I love our mother, she is so great!

Quite beautiful
I can relate to the feeling of being in a rush when the season of harvesting comes along. I live in the north of Sweden and the season of foraging and harvest is quite short here. But there is also something so calming with taking the time to be outside and gather nutishing things from nature.
I just came across your video and I am so interested in do things like this. I gather walnuts and let them dry and get the smear out. Last year the squirrels got them all. I want to make my own tintures and salves and I am learning slowly but surely. Keep up the good work and enjoy. Hugs and angels
Enjoyed the video. Gorgeous setting.
I love that i recognized some of what you were picking- the sumac really caught my eye!

Oh yeah cool! Sumac is used for tannins in natural dying. Maybe you already know that. :)

Money cannot buy the loyalty of a horse that played with your child as a foal. Your homestead will bring money. The homestead of my beloved will bring a sufficiency and love.” Anastasia "Ringing Cedars of Russia"

Awesome video Suzanne, very nicely composed. Love the still shot of red light and dark shadow on the hills. Will have to try a black walnut preparation sometime. Peace

hi Suzanne, love the video! I moved to upstate SC about a year ago and starting to connect with my inner self again. I'm looking for willow tree bark for a spell, where is a good area in upstate SC to find this? Thank you and Blessed Be.
Thankyou

you're welcome.
Your Heavenly Father is your provider. Nature i.e. God’s creation declares the evidence of his existence. This is the reason we feel happier in nature because it reminds us who we really are and where we come from. I encourage to read the Bible and know the Truth about your purpose and existence on this earth. ❤
I get the intent, but I also would like to know what you are making with the nature you picked.
