Spring into Abundance!!

The raining season 🌧️ is here to stay for a little longer so while its here make the most of it by Wild Foraging your Spring Greens!

Late winter and early spring is a lean time. As soon as shoots start to appear, however, there are some tender, young spring greens to gather. They grow quickly too – the early spring plants race to grow before the trees produce leaves and cut out much of the light to the forest floor.

You should always take care to positively identify any plant you intend to eat. But in spring, before heading out, you should make a mental note that it is easier to be fooled by plants when they are not fully formed, than later in the year when you have more to go on. That said, there are spring greens that are easy to identify. 🔍

Some Edible Spring Delights to indulge while in Season...🌿🍴

*Common Chickweed
* Henbit
*Creeping Charlie
*Purple Dead Nettle
* Morels
*Wild Garlic
*Watercress
*Garlic Mustard
*Wood Sorrel
*Dandelions
*Stinging Nettle
*Sweet Violet
* Wild Onion

Symbolism》 Power, Abundance, Heroism, Seasons, Cycle of Life

Today I’ve consulted the Animal Spirits, these cards show us symbology and energies relating to the animal kingdom within our lives, connecting to spirit animals, life pathways and deeper energies within that we may need to work with and understand about ourselves. Animals bring us messages very often, as you guys would know by the wildlife posts and symbology I share on my page, and these cards are no exception.

♥Each time I pull these cards, I pull them for all, for anyone who sees them, feels them or comes across them. 🌟

You’ve got all weekend to sit with this card, to close your eyes, breathe and ask for some guidance and confirmation and feel what this card reveals to you.

🖤Take your time, 💨Clear you Mind, 🤲🏻Heal your Body & 💜Elevate your Spirit!✨

Have a wonderful & blessed weekend!
Melynda 💚

Beware Of The “November Witch!”🌊

The freighter, The SS Edmund Fitzgerald, sank from this brutal system of storms that scream across the Great Lakes from Canada every autumn.

Though one of the most infamous, Edmund Fitzgerald was far from the only ship to succumb to the Witch of November. The floors of all five Great Lakes are littered with thousands of wrecked vessels.

The November Witch, sometimes phrased as “the Witch of November,” is a popular name for the frequent and brutal system of windy storms that come screaming across the Great Lakes from Canada every autumn.

Though termed “lakes,” North America’s Great Lakes are each large enough to create their own weather systems, making them, more accurately, inland seas. In fact, collectively, the Great Lakes chain makes up the Earth’s largest system of freshwater seas.

Each year, right around mid-November, violent gales occur when the low pressure from the frigid arctic air north of the lakes comes into contact with warmer fronts pulled up from the Gulf of Mexico.

These storms can be so severe that their force is equivalent to a low-level hurricane, with winds above 80 miles per hour and towering 20-foot seas.

The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald

The term “Witch of November” was famously used in the song, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, a poetic tribute to one of the most well-known Great Lakes shipwrecks in recent memory.
On November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, a massive ore freighter that had once been the largest in its class, sank to the bottom of Lake Superior during a particularly violent autumn gale, killing all 29 of its crew members.

Though one of the most infamous, Edmund Fitzgerald was far from the only ship to succumb to the Witch of November. The floors of all five Great Lakes are littered with thousands of wrecked vessels.

More than 6,000 ships were lost on the Great Lakes between the years 1878 and 1897 alone. Over the last 300 years, an estimated 25,000 mariners have lost their lives on the Great Lakes, with the vast majority of those casualties occurring within the icy grip of the November Witch.
