Hawk
Hawk flies into your reading today to bring you an important message. It may come in the mail, e-mail, a casual remark at the grocery store, a randomly selected page in a book, or even a phrase heard on the radio. Be alert, as hawk messages can sometimes be delivered in a subtle fashion. |

Seeing Through the Eyes of A Hawk Blessings for Grounding and Communing with Earth The Hawk Kingdom through Karen Danrich "Mila" April 21, 2002 Hawk has long been associated with long-range vision by the medicine men and women of indigenous peoples. Indeed, hawk can spot a small ground mammal miles high in the sky with ease, descending so rapidly and then taking of the prey necessary to survive and feed our young. Our eyes have the capacity to magnify to perceive close up or pan back to see the distance at will, much like your cameras in human form. However our gift of vision was developed long before the requirement to hunt. Hawk is one of the few species that survived the great floods, and prior to this time in history, we were vegetarian subsisting from berries and fruit. Our eyesight would allow us to spot the red, yellow or purple fruit in the valleys and hills of a tropical garden that earth was at that time in history. Alas, the tropical garden was lost upon all but those regions close enough to the equator as the poles rapidly froze due to the loss of temperature sustained by the ice shields as they collapsed. It was the ice shields that much like a terrarium that retained earth's warmth, and also protected earth from radiation so prevalent in your universe. With the ice shields collapse, not only were the valleys flooded killing all that existed previously therein, but nonphysical entities of small to large in nature that were highly radioactive flooded into the grid work of the earth mother along with all remaining species, including mankind. Such entities had been collected by the ice shields, which had prevented their presence upon earth. Such entities are related to death, as they shut down the movement of energy to such an extent that form rapidly declines of life. It was such entities that caused all species to move rapidly from regeneration to a shortened lifespan that included aging, illness and disease thereafter. At this time, all species are ascending out of the requirement to hold such death entities within the form or upon earth. Such entities will be left behind in the second dimension of your universe from which they originated in earth's experience. As the last human or member of any species dies that is non-regenerative, such beings will leave earth in full and forevermore. This will be a grand thing for Hawk to witness, as it was with great grief that Hawk witnessed the dance following the collapse of the ice shields. We too fell into the requirement to eat of flesh to survive. However this did not occur until the nuclear winter of earth set in motion by the Annanuki in their warfare. This was even more devastating than the collapse of the ice shields, and the journey from this point forward is the darkest period our species ever recalls. What can go one way can go another, and the dream for a new tomorrow is rapidly being woven by all ascending sentient species. It is time to ascend out of this dance, and Hawk takes a stand for such a tomorrow to emerge. What does hawk wish to say to our ascending human brothers and sisters today? You are a magnificent species. The magnificence of your species has been lost in the self-centered dance related to a small group of non-resonant humans known as the Annanuki that seized dominion over earth long ago. It is time to find the magnificence again in oneself and one's path beloved. How does one find magnificence? One moves towards communion and community with all other species upon earth. In so doing, one finds that they are a part of the whole, and as a part of the whole, one knows that one belongs. In a state of belonging, one feels safe and loved. It is in the lack of safety and lack of love that your species harms and maims; whether such harmfulness is upon the battlefield or an unconscious and energetic phenomenon is of little difference in our opinion; it is only in finding one's safety and internal sense of being loved that one will exit such a dance and ascend beyond harmfulness. It is as one ascends beyond harm that one enters the dance of magnificence again. How does one find safety in an unsafe world? One grounds and connects deep into the aurora of the earth mother. In an ongoing connection to earth, the body and all cells in the form know that they are safe. Why is this so? This is something Mila had experience with long ago and in her lessons with her former teacher. She learned that in grounding, she could not have an accident in her automobile, nor could she fall when she was skiing, regardless of how fast she would let herself go. She found that she would not be hit in crossing the street, and folk would move out of her way as she walked down a crowded sidewalk. Grounding creates a sort of energetic bubble that connects one to the greater part of the consensus that one is a part, which is the earth mother. There were stories that circulated in the school that she was then a part. Her former teacher had gotten into a car accident in a rough part of the Oakland. Just as the car was hit, her teacher thought "GROUND!" Not only did her teacher's car fail to dent in any manner, but there was not even a scratch, while the other car appeared severely damaged. As the other driver came out in anger towards her, neighbors suddenly appeared out of the nearby homes and told him to get back in his car and leave, as the accident was his fault! Her teacher got back in her car and safely arrived at home 20 minutes later. This is one of hundreds of stories that circulated amongst those working at connecting with earth through grounding through such teachings. One is safe as one is connected to earth, and earth does not harm. Therefore in the interconnection, no harm can come to one's physical self, as earth has never partaken in harmfulness as a consensus. This is why grounding allows the body to feel safe and be safe from accidents of any kind upon the physical plane. How does one ground? Grounding is changing beloved. For those in the old consensus, grounding is still an electrical connection that ties one's tailbone to the center of the earth. As one pushes out of the old consensus and rises into primary tones of vibration in one's ascent beyond 1024, one begins to connect more fully through one's field. Grounding not only occurs through the core of the spine, but also through the feet and each chakra within the form. This occurs as an electrical cord connecting the kundahlini along with major chakras and minor to the center of the earth and the aurora therein. [See New Grounding Diagram] After 3000 strands has been embodied 30% into the form, grounding shifts to a moving energy flow that connects oneself continuously to the aurora through the sexual energy movement. Sexual energy movement flows in a series of interconnected figure eights that move through the pelvis, to the center of the earth under the feet, then back through the pelvis again, up through the heart, over the head to one's source and ensouling factor, back down through the heart and connects to the pelvis again. Such sexual energy movement is ongoing not only for humans at 3000 strands, but all species upon earth, and flows in a parallel manner. (See "Sexual Energy Diagram".) At this time, grounding also is an energy flow that is global and solar in nature [See Solar Grounding Diagram] that can supplement one's sexual energy movement. There is a rotational energy flow that is flower of life in nature rotating around earth and extending into the solar system and all planets therein. Some of this rotational energy also pours to the aurora of earth upon a recurring basis from all points upon the surface of the earth. Initiates beyond 3000 build up to 18 chakras above the head and below the feet strictly to partake in the movement of grounding energies pouring down due to earth's solar grounding to the sun. One can pull a synthesized rainbow of tones down through the chakras and to the aurora allowing soul to seat more effortlessly in the form. This type of grounding is magnetic instead of electrical, and all electrical grounding cords are pulled from the etheric body and field as one transcends to this new modality in ascension. The magnetic pull of earth is changing beloved. Once and long ago, the human species had a 10-foot high structure. The magnetism or gravity of earth was not so strong at this time; it was soft and magnetic in nature allowing less pull on a heavy frame. In present time and in human form, if one were to build a 10-foot sized body and live upon the surface of the earth, one would weigh over 800 pounds due to the current pull of gravity, and be too heavy to move! Long ago, 10-foot human forms upon the surface of the earth were the norm, and gravity far less of a pull allowing the form to weigh less and move in ease. Gravity was manipulated as the Annanuki set electrical sacred geometry in motion some 38,000 years ago (152,000 human years). The electrical sacred geometry caused 10 foot sized humans to suddenly weigh far more, and the body began to develop aches and pains never prevalent before. Over subsequent generations, humans lost their height and stature to adjust to the greater pull of gravity thereafter. Gravity is being adjusted due to earth's ascent, and in due course, it will become again fully magnetic again in nature. This grounding we speak of above is a transitional form of new magnetism. Those attuning to such magnetism in full will find that they weigh less and can maneuver more easily upon the physical plane. This is helpful as one may build a rather large form to ascend in order to rise above the density of the third dimension at this time in history. Those attaining 6000 strands in their ascent begin to attune to this magnetism more fully. Each will find that building a larger form to ascend is paramount to rise out of the density of human thought-form. As one builds a larger form rising into 6000 strands in full, one embodies the new magnetism. Such magnetism shall allow a larger and heavier form to weigh less and be equally mobile to the smaller pre-ascension weight and size. Or so many initiates are now discovering. Why is it such a requirement to mass out to ascend? All species are massing out beloved. Each species is becoming rounder and larger than prior generations in preparation of the ascent out of the density. To a certain degree, this is due to the development of the crystalline diaphragm, which converts oxygen to blood sugar to feed the higher metabolism of the crystalline cellular structure. (See "Ascending Into a Regenerative Form" for more information on the crystalline diaphragm.) The crystalline diaphragm gives each species a rounder look than prior generations. In human form, one develops a "Buddha Belly", as Mila and Oa have fondly nicknamed their protrusions. Indeed Buddha was large and round at the time of his ascent, and this also is what it took for him to launch himself beyond third dimensional thought-form and ascend some 8000 years ago (24,000 human years). This was long ago, and earth has actually declined even further, causing the requirement for such massing out to be a pre-requisite to ascend at this time in history. Some of this massing-out in ascension is also due to added layers of body fat under the skin and between the organs. The additional body fat allows form to hold a higher vibration prior to the alterations in the biochemistry necessary to sustain such a vibration without the fat. Body fat allows for a modulation of chi to sustain the push "upwards" necessary to ascend. Recently a modified form of body fat that is less dense (less heavy) has been map carved, allowing those ascending to embrace a form of fat that does not weigh as much but be equally gifted at generating chi. For elephant and other larger species, this is a great gift, as they too are increasing in size in order to ascend and fulfill upon their energetic work in relation to world service as a species. What use is the body fat? As one ascends, one has agreements to assist the regions that one lives to ascend out of the density along with oneself. Sometimes this requires that one travel short distances surrounding one's current home to clear the pockets of stuck energy that require moving in order for the region to ascend. Much of such work is done through body fat, and therefore the weight gain comes hand in hand with one's world service agreements with earth, and what it takes to fulfill upon such agreements. One cannot ascend without earth ascending. Humans assist ascending regions with great density due to other humans who are non-ascending living therein. Therefore humans may actually gain more weight than any other species as a result of being required to move the energy in the greater density of the cities and suburbs that your fellow humans live. At this time, earth is separating from the old consensus of non-ascending humans more fully. The old consensus sits in tones that are black, gray, brown mucous yellow and green in color or vibration. Such tones are second dimensional colors beloved, and earth is beginning to separate from 2D at this time. Humans at 2 strands sit in such tones of creation until they have ascended above the threshold of 1024 strands of DNA in the physical. Over time and in the coming four years of continued global ascension, there will be such a large gap between 2D and 3D that it may be hard to ascend without massing out. Therefore hawk just as all species will grow to allow the separation and to hold our vibration in ease against the pull of 2D until earth separates in full. It is anticipated that a full separation from 2D will not occur until around 2011, and much of the cleansing of those remaining in the old consensus will have come to fruition by such a time in history. This shall allow that remaining in 2D to be pushed from earth back into your universe where it originated much like having a bowel movement in human form. Many humans are afraid to mass out or grow in ascension. Sometimes the desire to remain "thin" blocks the ascent or massing out necessary to move up in vibration. Those who are unable to mass out enough will find themselves pulled downward the further earth moves towards separation from 2D. Therefore Hawk suggests that initiates intend to allow whatever growth is necessary to sustain and increase one's vibration lest one wish to end this lifetime in death or disease instead. Hawk also suggests that humans feed themselves whatever the body requires to mass out, including meat, fish, shellfish, eggs and poultry. There is a large requirement for amino acids to both convert the form to crystalline and increase in enough mass to hold a higher vibration. One may not be able to acquire all of the protein required during such phases of ascension without consuming flesh. There is little time to ascend beloved, and all species will be best served if humans do whatever is required to ascend. As the ascent has stabilized enough with enough mass to hold one's current vibration, one may then become vegetarian. | | |

Most humans grow by 10% overall to attain 1024, and then another 10% to attain 3000, and then another 10% again to attain 6000. Mila and Oa found that attaining full conscious vibration requires yet another 20% growth beyond this, however the new magnetism does not cause them to be so heavy upon their feet that they cannot enjoy a rigorous hike through the woods. They are large by current human standards, but not obese. Current human standards will adjust when the only humans left are large like Mila and Oa, and so this will come to be in the coming 25 years. The current human species equates weight gain with lack of health. And yet if you were to look at the skin and into the eyes of ascending humans gaining such weight, one would see only vibrant energy and a peachy to blushed skin tone. This is a sign of life returning to that which has decayed. Those so thin and deemed so beautiful are sallow to gray without makeup. Why? This is the colors of 2D beloved; black, gray, brown, along with mucous yellow and green. Such are also the colors of the auras of those sitting in such tones of creation, and as the light goes on due to global ascension, such underlying vibrations shall be seen upon the face of those sitting in such tones. This is not beauty from Hawks perspective. Beauty is an inner state of being. Beauty comes from inner love. As the cells in any form regenerate receiving enough nutrients, such cells feel loved. This causes the entire form to begin to feel loved from within and upon a cellular level, and such internal love adds a glow and beauty to the face and form that cannot be attained in any other manner. Mila and Oa notice that their skin is soft and subtle like a young child; that the wrinkles have gone away; that there is a firm texture to the tone of the muscles that is not from lifting weights, but from enough chi running through the grid work. Their eyes sparkle with the presence of soul, which can also be felt by those of open heart that come near them. This is the new definition of human beauty that all humans shall embrace either in this lifetime or in one's future ascending ancestry. As there is enough for each cell to subsist within one's form, this also translates in one manifesting enough to support one's life expression, bringing an end to poverty or difficulties in the manifestation of one's dream. There is no other way to alter lack other than ending the lack that exists upon a biological level. The inner is mirrored by the outer; as the inner lack is transmuted to a state of love internal to self, so shall all outer circumstances that mirror such a state change. Many a human initiate complains about lack; lack of enough, lack of a beloved; lack of a preoccupation that one loves; lack of a beautiful place to call home; lack of ascending friends; lack of understanding upon the part of family members and friends that one does have; lack of enough income to travel; lack of enough to pay all of the bills; lack of enough food to ascend the form; lack lack lack. One has created the lack in several areas of one's life dance to demonstrate one's internal state of lack in the biology of the form. Ascend the biology, and the cellular lack shall subside, and this shall translate into greater ease of manifesting one's dreams. In so doing, one will be able to see lack in all areas of the life dance subside into a dream-come-true circumstance. One might say, "Well, there are those who seem to have all their dreams come true! Look at the current leaders in the metaphysical movement!" Yes, they have their dreams come true, but from the point of view of Hawk, their dreams have manifested at the expense of their own following. It is the pattern of the guru to take the dream for himself or herself and transfer those dreams unwanted onto those who are the guru's "favored", leaving the following with lack lack lack. So this is so with all gurus, whether they be financial, religious, governmental, educational, or of the media. As each who lacks retrieves one's dreams from those that one has given them unto out of the belief that one is not worthy of such, one's dreams will then be present to be drawn into physicality. (See "Becoming the Dreamer and the Dream" for more information on dream manifestation.) We invite our human brothers and sisters to begin to see the human dance through our eyes. We see not physicality as much as energy. Those in human form who are ascending may be larger in the physical than is currently deemed popular or beautiful. However, the energy that surrounds such a human glows in vibrations that are primary in color to pastel in color; such vibrations are clear or translucent the greater that the human has mastered their own thought-form of destruction and anchored the thought-form of unity in it's place. The translucence allows for a finely woven field to emerge that appears much as gossamer wings; many human artists have depicted such in the form of angels, light beings and cities of light. Such artists are remembering a time when all humans and all species appeared as such in the nonphysical, for this is how one's ancient ancestors appeared energetically and before the first fall of man. Humans are beginning to return to such a state in the nonphysical through ascension, and this is the most beautiful of all to Hawk. Hawk has a special gift for all who read this piece; it is the gift of sovereignty and freedom to be whoever one is in the moment. Sovereignty and freedom comes as one transcends the need to "be like" or "match" any others in one's life dance, and become the master that one is within. Humans like to be "like one another". Humans wear the same clothes that are manufactured in factories; humans behave like one another with a rather rigid law around what is "acceptable" and what is not; humans wear the same hairstyles as others or famous people; humans live in houses that look like all other houses; humans furnish their houses in manners that mimic what is projected by your media. All of such behavior comes out of the desire to be "normal" and live a "normal" life. Yet is there any joy or happiness in a "normal" life? Many will answer this question no. The desire to be "normal" comes out of an inherent lack of biological safety. Over time, humans lost the genetic predisposition to grounding. Without grounding, one becomes increasing unsafe and in fear. The loss of grounding occurred in multiple time periods upon earth, but the greatest of all was the nuclear warfare during the last fall of Atlantis. It was this nuclear annihilation that spiraled all species including mankind from 5000 strands to 2 strands of DNA, and at 2 strands there is not enough knowledge to retain an inherent understanding of groundedness thereby causing humans to by in large feel "unsafe" and exist in fear. In recent history and following the dropping of bombs upon Nagasaki and Hiroshima, humans in Japan fell again in consciousness to 1.5 strands of DNA. Today the Japanese are in great fear. In Hawaii, Mila sees that most Japanese homeowners surround their homes in cement walls six to ten feet high with electronic gates and alarms. This destroys the scenic coastlines along the Kahala Coast and North Shore of Oahu as no one can view the ocean over the high walls, and home after home with like walls flow down the nicest of neighborhoods. Hawaii is one of the safest parts of the world with the lowest crime rates; the city of Honolulu has the lowest crime rate for any major city in the entire United States. The walls and alarms are added out of the great fear that such humans at 1.5 strands live within, as there is not only no grounding remaining, but not enough connection to anything outside of self to create grounding with. As one grounds, one no longer needs to mimic one another to feel safe. One can become sovereign in their truth, and free to dress, act, live and be anyway that one so desires. One may also mass out the form as necessary to ascend without feeling shame or guilt. Shame is the result of the electrical tones of creation pressing upon the emotional body. Ascend beyond the electricity and one not only grounds to the earth mother thereby feeling safe, but ceases to feel shame or guilt. Guilt is the result of shame that has become self-perpetuating with thoughts that blame and shame one into lifelessness. Guilt and shame was not a thought-form prevalent in the human dance until after the last fall in consciousness, and it is indeed a fall that moved the human expression out of the "Garden of Eden". For what joy can there be in guilt and shame? None, and humans fell into great joylessness thereafter, with only artificial joy remaining in entertainment or humor. We say artificial, as humor and laughter are all that remains of joy at 2 strands of DNA; joy is not humor or laughter although humor or laughter can come out of joy. Joy is an ongoing vibration that sustains oneself in a state of self-love that is biological. Joy begins to enter the dance as one ascends more fully to 3000 strands of DNA. Ascension restores biological joy. Biological joy translates into the creation of joyful and playful experiences in one's life dance that shall mirror one's inner state of being. Many a scientist has photographed the joyful and playful nature of nature. We never lost our joy, as we went not into self-consciousness. It is self-consciousness that underlies guilt and shame, as one examines, compares and judges oneself and others. Move back into other-consciousness, and one moves out of comparing oneself to another, or judging one thing as superior or inferior to another. As one ceases to compare and judge, guilt and shame exit one's life dance and one embraces whatever is in the moment. In other terms, other-consciousness is parallel to unconditional acceptance of all of life. One can only arrive at "other-consciousness" or unconditional acceptance through ascension. Unconditional acceptance is a state of being in which one embraces all as it is without question or analysis. Such a state of being was the manner that the Grand Masters with large heads originally seeded upon earth from the Sirian race operated. As one's future ancestry embodies full consciousness, such a state of being will prevail throughout the human dance. In so doing, humans at large will move beyond guilt, shame and self-consciousness to a new state of being that allows and communes. In the allowance and communion, humanity will find their place along side all other species upon earth again. One can move to unconditional acceptance through intent prior to achieving a state of full consciousness. The first thing that Hawk perceives as required to attain a state unconditional acceptance is to shut down the voices and tapes that shame and blame inside of one's head, whether they shame and blame oneself or others. Such voices are just entities lost and stuck in the planes of death, pain, fear, suffering, greed, lust, and judgment upon earth that surround oneself. Send such entities along with their programming to the aurora or to the sun for disposal and set boundaries in which only soul can speak through one's telepathic channels. One may also intend to build filters that filter out all but soul based communications. This is how Mila transcended guilt, shame and fear early in her ascent; by blocking such voices and their related entities from communicating unto her. If you call upon Hawk, we will assist so that our human brothers and sisters can move out of shame, blame, guilt and fear at an earlier vibration of ascension. In so doing, one will be free to become whoever one wishes to be in the moment. We hope that our sharing assists your personal journey of ascension. Do call upon our kingdom as you wish to shed greater light upon your internal landscape. Perhaps our vision will allow you to better see your own magnificence unfolding through ascension. Namaste The Hawk Kingdom

Heron
Is your life in a state of balance? If not, long-legged Heron has flown in today to help you. Because Heron is a water bird, he is most often associated with emotions. He stands motionless, almost in a trance, his body mirrored in the water below. Take a few moments today to be like Heron—be quiet, go within, and discover the answer to your questions. Heron Wisdom The name heron is applied to a large number of small or large wading birds in the family Ardeidae; they are related to storks and ibises. These birds live in temperate and tropical areas of marshy or salt water around the world. All herons have a long, slender neck, a long, pointed bill with sharp edges, and long legs. Their plumage may be colored black, white, brown, gray, blue, chestnut, buff, or combinations of these. Although the heron is a timid bird, it will defend itself with a sharp beak if cornered. In Greece, the heron was sacred to Athena and Aphrodite, carrying their messages to humans. In both China and Japan, the white heron is teamed with the black crow to symbolize solar-lunar powers. Ancient Egyptians associated the heron with the rising Sun and the return of the resurrected god Osiris. It signified regeneration of life. In Celtic cultures the heron had many of the attributes of the crane. Superstitions: It is a general European belief that to shoot a heron is bad luck. Magical Attributes: The ability to watch patiently for results. Dignity of movement, methodical procedure in matters. Gaining dignity and self confidence for facing personal problems. In mystical symbolism, the heron, stork, and crane represent much the same things. They are all solar and Water birds that are said to be able to predict the weather. They represent vigilance and are valuable as destroyers of reptiles. Chant: From the stately heron I learn dignity, Patience to wait for proper timing. By example I see the sense of methodic planning. One step at a time, personal problems are solved. |

Hedgehog Wisdom This small mammal is not found in the western hemisphere at all, but is widespread throughout most of the old world, except for Australia and Madagascar. In Europe, the common hedgehog is best known. Its territory extends from England and Ireland all the way east to Siberia, Manchuria, and Korea. In countries where the winters are cold, the hedgehog hibernates. In certain areas of China, this animal is considered sacred and treated with respect. Hedgehogs are generally small enough to hold in your hand. They are usually chocolate brown in color with yellowish-white tips on the spines. Hedgehogs average 25 cm (10 in) in length and range in color from light tan to black. They have pointed snouts, small eyes, short legs, and vestigial tails. In July or August the European hedgehog gives birth to four to eight young. Although their spines are sharp, they are not barbed like the porcupine. With care, you can pick up a hedgehog without hurting yourself. When threatened, they curl up in a ball, spines outward, until the enemy goes away. They generally eat slugs, worms, insects, frogs, and snakes. The hedgehogs reputation depends upon what culture you study. In China, it is considered sinister. Aristotle wrote that it could predict the weather. It was an emblem of the Sumerian goddess Ishtar as Great Mother. Small figurines of hedgehogs have been found in Minoa and Mycenae, along with their pictures painted on vases. In Greece, Rhodes, and Etruria before the sixth century B.C.E., vases shaped like hedgehogs were used for infant burials. This suggests a connection with the Goddess and her regenerating womb. Magickal Attributes: Less defensiveness and seriousness in life. Appreciate life more. Building defenses and protective barriers that discourage negative people. Reconnecting yourself with the Crone aspect of the Goddess. Chant: Little hedgehog, spines atremble, The Mother’s child, what do your fear? Like the hedgehog I feel defenseless Until I hear the Goddess near. Trust in Her, that’s what I’m learning As I live life day to day. Mother, help me be more trusting. Show me your loving way.

HERBS FOR Animal- Horses Helen Massingham-Howells On reflection perhaps I should have called this piece Herbs for Horses! Nearly all of these remedies were used by the European Gypsies and they have proven their effectiveness through many Generations. I am sure that you too, will them helpful.
Most horses will take herbs when mixed with molasses or honey. Many times a brew with strong tasting herbs can be disguised with Black currant syrup or honey, particularly if cider vinegar has Been added.
Hops (Humulus lupulus) "Hop tops" young shoots given to colts to condition them. A good Tonic. Flowers fed in fodder to quiet restless animals, 1 or 2 Cups for young animals, 2 or 3 cups (1 cup equals 1 handful) for Adults.
Ivy, Common (Glechoma Hederacea) Very good for internal cleansing after birth, 1 to 2 cups chopped Herb for mares immediately after giving birth. In treating Retained afterbirth make a strong brew; in 1 pint of water add 1 To 2 cups of common Ivy half pint drenches approximately every 3 Hours. Do not confuse with Poison Ivy please!
Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) Horses like this herb so do sheep and goats. A good tonic. Parsley piert or Alchemilla arvensis is a gypsy cure for stones And a tonic after treating colic. It has been said that should Man or animals take this herb on mid summers eve they could Become invisible!! I have not tried that one, maybe one would Have to take Woad (Ivatis tinctoria) to bring one back in sight.
Of course the bluish hue might startle a few animals and people!
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) Used by gypsies as a spring tonic for horses, 1 to 2 cups of Flowers cut up and mixed with mash or corn brew in 1.5 pints of Water.
Nettle, Common (Urtica dioica) Good forage dried for horses, rich in minerals, lime, sodium, Iron, chlorine and a naturally good in protein value. Nettle Juice mixed with nettle seeds is a good hair tonic: use Internally 1 cup of juice in the animals mash. Use externally to Wash the coat, it will give it a beautiful shine, beneficial for Show or racehorses.
Oak (Quercus robur) Gypsies used the ripe acorns ground and dried them and mixed them With wheat flour to make a gruel. The green cups are very Astringent and made into a strong brew are used to check bleeding Internally and externally, 1 to 2 oz to 1.5 pints water.
Poplar, Black (Populus nigra) Buds crushed in milk, honey and wine a good tonic for horses. For Sores, wounds, ulcers. Used externally too (by making an ointment With the young buds).
Puffball (Fungus) Used to stem bleeding and promote healing. Crushed and then Applied to wounds.
Quince (Pyrus Cydonia. Hair tonic for manes and tails. The peel is made into a brew 1 Cup to 1 pint.
Sanicle (Sanicula europaea) Used as a talisman on banners and shields to protect war-horses And hopefully their riders. Good fodder. Effective for internal Bleeding and wounds. Whole plant used make a brew or give 1 to 2 Cupfuls of the herb in feed.
Scabious (Scabiosa arvensis) (Gypsy Rose) Cleansing and antiseptic. A brew of the root and herb thickened With borax, removes old sores and dandruff. Mix about 2 cups Herb and root to one and a half pints water. Put in 1 tablespoons Of borax powder while still hot and stir well. Apply when cooled.
Strawberry or Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) Leaves help prevent abortion, fruit good for nervous or slow Horses. Foliage good for show and racehorses. 2 cups of leaves or Leaves and root daily or handful of berries daily.
Sweet Cicely (Myrrhus odorata) Horses love this herb. A good tonic. Crush some or bruise the Root and hold in the hand, they will usually come to one. Native
Indians used this trick to catch the wild horses. Note make sure You catch the right horse!
Tea Plant (Indian tea, China tea), (Thea sinensis) Make a strong infusion, 2 parts to 1 of vinegar, (cider if Possible). Soak cotton cloth when cold and apply. Very good for Sun stroke, sunburn, fine burns. Dose internally: 1 dessert-spoon Cider vinegar to 3 tablespoons tea mixture. Make the tea mixture With 2 tablespoons in 10 oz. Hot water, add a pinch of cinnamon Or 1 to 2 cloves or both. Give cold if possible.
Willow, White (Salix alba) Young shoots and foliage given by gypsies for cattle and horses As a tonic
Willow (Salix caprea) Given to goats to calm their hot tempers and cool their blood. I am not sure whether that means they gave it to the old goats or not. What is good for the animals is good for man too!
That's all I have space for just now. It's easy to forget that the "beasts of the field" originally taught us much of our herb law, (by our observations of them). They deserve more consideration than we often care to give them nowadays. By using these simple remedies we can do much to make their lives more comfortable and productive.
