Your Inner Wilderness
Meeting Grandfather and beginning to heal with Earth Medicine. Welcome to my Inner Wilderness series. Sit back and relax, it's another long one......
Meeting Grandfather
It was September of 2022. I had staked out my ‘serenity space’ in nature on a flat spot with a gorgeous view of the forest and hills descending. I was feathering my nest under trees with journey paraphernalia. Blanket, chair, water, hat, sunscreen, sweatshirt…I was ready.
I had just downed 20 horse pills during a morning ceremony that contained the sacred plant, so called Grandfather - also known as Huachuma, Wachuma or San Pedro. Growing up in the deserts of the southwest and Mexico, it felt fitting a cacti would be my first experience with Earth Medicine. I settled in, wandered about, taking in the beauty. I sat on my blanket, and tried to meditate, observing the sounds of nature as I waited for the medicine to reveal itself.
