Anarchistbanjo's World

I began my Ovate’s journey last spring and it has been a deep and rich spiritual experience with definite changes in my life. Every day as I walk to the local dog park with Valentine I consciously draw in the energies of the earth, the Mississippi river, the feel of the wind on my face and the warmth of the sun. This has become a daily practice that I have begun to look forward to, especially in the early morning.

Part of the Ovate’s journey is divination and prophecy and I have been turning my awareness deliberately to situational awareness of local and global events that will be affecting my life. In my case that means becoming a prepper!

The lesson is profound! It is not at all about following the old ways, but about living in the present world and adapting to individual life circumstances. The lessons are not about herbs and healing as much as learning what locally available herbs can be grown or purchased to make us healthier in a world where most store bought foods now longer have the nutrients that we need.

I might not be able to grow herbs where I live but I can certainly purchase them and prepare them for my own use! Fresh ground cinnamon, turmeric and cyan pepper can be used as seasonings that will help with blood circulation and high blood pressure. My bread machine makes interesting types of breads that are more healthy to eat. Spirulina, brewers yeast and chorella are super foods that can supplement my survival rations and supply missing nutrients. Colloidal silver is a time tested homeopathic medicine that can boost the immune system.

In my opinion these are all part of being a modern druid, making the most of what we have and living in harmony with our environment. Sure, it would be nice to be more independent and live even closer to nature, but that is not possible for me right now. So I make do with what is available to me and that is the message that I’m trying to share. We all need to start from where we are at and we can all better our life circumstances and the quality of our lives by holding true to the ovate’s path!
