Yay WB. So glad you are with us on this living spaceship for the long haul. Congrats on your super healing powers too! Good attitude = good results

Uh oh. That's my first and only thought upon reading the title.
-
Wow. Very cool!

Cats. Can't help but love them, can't avoid being driven mad by their antics and endless demands. Bloody cats. Furry overlords.

Pretty sure that 'weird fungus' is actually a root from the fern. I could be wrong but it looks a lot like it. Hare's foot ferns put out very similar above ground roots, surely many other ferns do as well. See if you can establish if its connected to the fern or a solo operator.

Share your "Shamanic weapon" bases for that added tribality feel

If that's genuinely what you think goes on in the lives of all shamans and witches, I feel you have a very misguided view of both witchcraft and shamanism.I'm not saying that there arent witches and shamans who do use black magic but the PRIMARY ROLE of a shaman is to heal, and to interperet subtle patterns for the benefit of their community. Witches perform similar functions in different ways. The most basic fundamental law that is passed along with awareness of any of these practices, is that whatever you do, comes back to you three-fold. If you cause harm to another, you are inviting it upon yourself. The only witches I've known have been for simplicities sake 'white witches' who work to uphold balance, health and equilibrium in their own lives, and their families. Projecting ill intent towards another using one's power is serverly frowned upon. -

Nah they will eat baddies. Or at least hiss and charge at them. -

These can be thrown at people if they have ill intent and need be. Otherwise they are entirely peaceful. And here's some other tools of use, not for attack but just defence. Again. Preventatives. The fan/wand is made out of totara, with pointy end, could hurt eyes. Tucked in at the back is an agave spine and hematite. Pendulum - pretty self explanatory. The rest are "holders", they act like little outposts of particular intention around the house. Signals to self and others. Greenstone. More greenstone. Jasper. Ameythst. Fluorite. Gold lions are lucky for me. I now have two. One Asian, one lionking type. And moons are peace keepers. The engraved bullet casing is a shed-bad-vibes charm. Begins atopped with a piece of black kyanite - protective, reflective. Inside is housed a tektite - space rock. Buffered by small quartz, 3 small citrine, 1 small amethyst for easing off a bit. Just little things that make me feel safer. My mind to inhabit, if it helps me, so be it. But yeah. These guys are the best guardians. That blue! Think I could also call the geese a shamanic weapon. They are a symbol of protection, and live up to their title..making one hell of a racket when someone unknown steps onto the property. Geese are an acquired taste but I've come to appreciate them. -
Hey blowng do you know who the artist is for the datura and mandrake paintings is? Seen them before, really like em.

Ps don't be nervous of grafting, if you can succeed on pere you can succeed on a trich for sure. If your uncertain do some practice runs with cheap cacti from garden stores.

At this size, and considering how lovely and plump it is, I would definitely graft onto a small/medium sized trich. It will take easily cause it looks so healthy, and the growth that could be achieved in 1-2 more years on a stock makes degrafting now not so worthwhile. It also takes a long time for astro degrafts to grow roots, so may be advisible to get it a bit bigger before attempting to grow roots of its own to ensure it doesn't dry up too quickly cause its little. Matter of taste of course, but I reckon it would be loovely on a wee pach. Very cute. Well done.

I make weapons of peace, preventative warfare. -
Thanks buddy. It really is wonderful. Couldn't believe my luck and still barely can. I've been being extra extra nice to my landlady and tending the hens, ducks and geese and working in the vege garden with hopes she'll let me stay on long term. Wait till you guys see the worm farms..omg. Never seen anything like it. I have so much worm castings its ridiculous. Beautiful house and property, with a pretty colourful history. It has fallen to neglect a little over the last 15 years or so. Guess that's why I'm here. Put a bit of new energy into the place, get it lively again. And so very lively it is.. <3

Thanks all! And hey Getafix, believe it or not it is! And yeah still have 3/4s of my plants at my friends and my mums houses, cause I've been slow on the uptake this year and until recently circumstances haven't been appropriate for having 30-50ish spikey as heck trichs around. Once I get a free weekend with vehicle access then some things gonna change around here. I am trying to decide if I should get another greenhouse or not..

The good vibes generator
bogfrog replied to Bert&Ernie's topic in Creativity, Spirituality & Philosophy
Thank goodness for that! Does this mean you are through the worst of it and now just got some serious taking it easy to do while you heal? Please do take it really easy, even when you start feelin ok again, its a big shock for your body to have such things occur....just chill and soak up all the tlc you can! Much love and happy healing time. So glad you made it through okay! -
I'd say Cuzco. Gradually the eye becomes accustomed to the slight morphological differences between a Peru and a Cuzco, I can't explain it very well but something about the wavyness of the ribs, how they curve around the aereole, and all the dominant long singular downward pointing spines sing out cuzcoensis to me. Beauties!! Great score indeed.
