Lore and Liberation - the Stories…
The book begins with the power of story - through personal anecdotes, and an earth-honoring lens on lore, history, and philosophy - we journey through tales that offer a radical reimagining, and remembering of what is possible when reverence for the earth is re-centered. It’s entirely likely that you’ll laugh, cry, crack with lightning, and, hopefully, feel deeply seen and celebrated in remembering that “on earth, we are part of the family.”
Not only for medicine-makers, Rose Medicine offers witness, hope, and inspiration for anyone processing grief over the state of the world, and longing to be a part of collective reimagining.
Practical Application - the Hands-on Plant Medicine and Magic
“I thought a lot about why this section of the book. Why mix stories and liberation-oriented musings with recipes and hands-on happenings? It comes down to this - I believe that both are necessary to our true liberation. While considering our stories, histories, philosophies, and belief systems - what we think - goes a long way toward shaping our lives and that’s important, it is also essential to take back what we do. Learning to recognize medicinal plants and make our own medicine improves our chances of well-being and empowers our communities.”
The stories help us to better see and work toward collective liberation for our future. Beautiful food, medicine, and love for our bodies reconnect us to joy, to ancestral knowing, and to just systems of care. They help us live better lives right now and garner the strength to be in it for the long haul.
