This is a wonderful article! I grew up in Virginia, and remember my friends and I always knew where the good, fragrant honeysuckle bushes were.

Oh, I love that! 🍯 I haven’t done enough foraging and that’s something that I feel like I should particularly do in the State that I’m in now.

"We are living in a time of collapse, yes. But in that collapse, a rebirth. We are living in a time of return. Of remembrance."✨️

This article is so good! Funny story, I was walking a trail in a local park. I was completing a grief ritual, releasing stones back into a creek. These two older women walked up to the bank of the water. They excitedly asked me if I was the Black Forager.😔🤣🤣🥴

Thank you I appreciate you reading and taking the time.

I love this idea of stones in release and grief rituals. 👀 Absolutely curious to know more.

Interesting 🤔 I wonder if it was a hint or a nudge from Spirit.

Lol, spell check removed that the women were white🤣🤣🤣. They were so excited to see a Black woman minding her business in nature. I'm going to post the ritual below. I will often do it at all my gatherings for Black women because we are all carrying grief—often unspoken and not recognized.
