Some of our herbs
are used in our ceremonies, some are used for healing.
Thank you John
for your question (Welcome Home).
This should
get the attention of all of those wannabe people selling so called Sacred herb
to the unknowing public!
Hundreds of
years ago it was necessary to have a Medicine Man, a Medicine Women, a Chief, a
Sachem, Clan Mother, Warriors and so on, each had their own job helping the tribe,
communication was by drum, smoke signals runners and so on.
In today's
fast paced world with computers the world is a much smaller place because of
the ease of communication.
Today's
medicine people must hide their information because of the thousands of unscrupulous people that only want to make
money off of your lack of knowledge about herbs!
Remember, the
only way to know that a Medicine Mans is in fact a Medicine Man is to catch him
doing his job, a bragger is just that, a bragger, nothing else!
The work of a
Medicine person, as with any other member of a tribe around the world was never
a secret to be kept from the rest of the people?
Any native
man worth his salt will tell you the same thing "behind every worthy man
is a worthy women pushing, pulling, nagging, and teaching him along the correct
path!
In other words,
a Medicine Man receives his medicine from a Medicine Women, the Medicine Women
goes out to find the herb, collects the correct herbs, mixes them correctly and
gives them to the Medicine Man, both of them in a ceremony ask Creator for the
blessing of the herbs, so to be correctly taught, go to your Medicine Women
first!
While it is
always a good thing to read books on herbs and all that has been learned about
them, trust only your people to teach the ancestors ways.
While on the subject
of herbs, Seaweed ( as was discussed in an earlier posting) has been a staple
in the mix of herbs all up and down the east coast however, we never mix
poisons into a mix as being done by Euro Americans today!
After you
collect or buy herbs that you wish to use in your ceremony and only if you have
a pure heart, in other words you are not one of those thousands of wannabe's
out to get your hands into the public's pockets, all you need to do is find a
quiet place out of sight of the public and ask Creator to bless your herbs so
that you can use them in your ceremonies!
It is OK to
sell herbs, one can NEVER sell Sacred, Blessed, Herbs, just too make more money
from the public, Creator is watching!
It is always
good to sell and teach herbs to help in healing!
