I’m a Native American and honestly speaking here. You are my go to guy next to spirit itself for learning about Mother Earths wonders. Thank you 🙏🤗😊🥰❤️
Thanks for all the support and gratitude for the videos we have been making. This is the first one of this 2016 spring season. We are excited to be sharing more as the season unfolds. Let us know if there is a topic you would like us to cover this year and we will see what we can do.
Just wanted to say thanks for the very detailed videos, they are a pleasure to watch. My family and I are planning to do more herbal and wild crafting adventures starting this spring, been gathering field guides and have been helping my 74 yr old mother who has parkinson's disease to follow a holistic natural approach to help with her debilitation, I'm pleased to say she has been off all meds for almost 4 yrs now using only lions mane mushroom, cbds, cannabis, and some supplements :) Keep the good vids coming and stay happy and healthy, we're in central Montana if you ever get down that way hit me up would be fun to spend a day or two learning medicine with you.
I have cedar all over my acreage and now I’ve learned to use it in my macrame. The little tables I create make my friends so happy! The scent is intoxicating.
As a lover of wetlands and wooded areas, and their indescribable poetic beauty, the best use of cedar, is taking shelter under its shade in the heat of summer, or to take shelter during snow storms, the deer seem to love to to take shelter under them in the winter.
"I have an idea. Let's go on a cedar hike today." That sound like something I would say to a friend, who would promptly roll his or her eyes bur follow along anyway. I love cedars. I love how you always talk about the plant's spirits as well as the more typical biology stuff.
+The Last Grownup in the Woods Thanks, as you know, it is so important to keep in mind that these plants are also conscious beings, not just the stuff for making food and medicine.
@@Herbal_Jedi It is great to see you write that. I studied Botany for 3 years at university and I love plants but have been criticised and mocked when I say plants have consciousness and can essentially "think". People laugh but I got to that conclusion from learning more and more about them and the only explanation was, for plants to evolve or do what they do there has to be awareness. It's so refreshing to see someone write this.
Boy oh boy! You friggen rock! Amazing! You are one great ambassador for peace, healing and knowledge! I love your stories and I have only just discovered you. Great! Live long brother!
I have been binge watching videos on this channel. I love it! So informative and entertaining. As an anthropologist, I love hearing about the cultural significance of these plants as well. Thank you!
+Alicia Benjamin so glad to hear you are enjoying our videos, if your going to binge watch something its nice for it to be both educational and entertaining. Let us know if there is any plants you would like us to take a deeper look at this year.. ;)
Have you read Ethnobiologist, Nancy Turner's artful book on the Plants of Haida Gwaii? Linguistics, cultural respect, art, legends, family truths despite diverse truths.
Amen. And then they disobeyed their Creator. His answer? He clothed them with fur and animal skins and forbade them entrance into their beloved garden. There were two trees in the garden. :) Who is The Living Water?
@@Garythedog3 Living water is unpolluted in an undisturbed watershed that flows in a stream exposed to sunlight and air. It is alive with good bacteria and microbes that are a big part of a healthy body. In today's world it will only be found in remote pristine areas. To drink this kind of water in today's world is truly a blessing.
Thank you for your beautiful perspective and knowledge . I almost cried because I didn't realize any one still holds that knowledge got the communication to the plant kingdom. Everyone calls me crazy for me relationship to plants and animals. Thank you again. Keep doing you and stay blessed.
It's worth noting that the famous household cleaning agent called Pine - Sol used to contain 8-12 % real pine oil that was harvested from old yellow pine tree stumps that were left in the ground after clear cutting for at least 20 years or older but not anymore since supplies became limited . I've dug up several old cedar trees that were buried on my property and can definitely vouch for the intense smell of this pine oil which is highly flammable and very painful if it touches your mucous membranes or your eyes .
There is a Vortex in the Keweenaw Peninsula/Upper Michigan.....it is AMAZING....you get inside, hold the cedar trees, and close your eyes! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! They do a "people's fest" there yearly. Got a pic of the Vortex with "someone" in there, that really wasn't there.....I'd love to see you hit that! At Prospector's Paradise...Keweenaw County, Michigan!!
In Siberia they also have a big native tree with strong medicinal properties they call cedar. But it is a pine, a close relative to the endangered American white bark pine.
Cedar is one of my favorite essential oils, I had no idea it was such a powerful medicine. So grateful for the wisdom you share! 🙌❤️🔥 I will be sure to connect, respect and give thanks in the future.
I am so happy to tell you I have a giant cedar tree in my yard, it’s 175 inches in diameter, which I think tells me it’s close to 200 years old. I hope it makes it to 1,000 but sadly I won’t be here to know. I love Tree, the fragrance she imparts to my home and garden is remarkable. I’m happy to hear all about her special, sacred qualities too, thank you Yarrow!
The cedar around my house is the Western Incense Cedar, Calocedrus decurrens. Very aromatic. The Native Nisenan and Miwok used the bark for their houses. The bark grows very thick and is fire resistant. Thanks for the good info! BTW what kind of hat is that your wearing? Its great!
Thank you so much for this great video! I appreciate the teaching of how important it is to connect with the plant for permission to it's medicine. Very important
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1:29
The native flute and the stream running in the background. Just a wonderful feeling. I came looking for more knowledge on ceder and was able to relax too.
I love this video Yarrow. I learned so much powerful, healing wisdom. Your presentations are beautiful, thankyou for teaching this critically important and lifesaving information. I have so much respect for nature and its wisdom, you have helped me become this way, thankyou for being you Yarrow, I appreciate you. Elaine
the western red cedar is a type of cypress and the denser branches and roots make very adequate hunting bows. I use the pieces of wood from the western red cedar that resemble yew in their red smooth papery bark for bow making. the fresh leaf tips are tasty when hiking
My brother, you are amazing! Sad it took me this long to discover your channel, happy I discovered it! I always loved cedar but now I just learned so much more. Thank you beautiful shaman!
I love what you are doing. You love the nature. You invite the people back to connection to the nature. It has a tremendously importance, you are right and agree totally with you. You respect, honor the nature and you thank and express your gratitude to the plant, but please do not forget the Creator of all the things you promote. For HIM our entire reverence!
I have come across a few of your videos lately. I enjoy your videos about each plant and the sacredness in how to harvest. My property is surrounded by Cedars, Oaks, & Pines. I am now more interested in pursuing more medicine making. I have been making Elderberry tonic for quite a few years now. My Herbalism teacher told me we may need these plants some day for survival. I think she's right!
I so enjoy your video field trips, humour and exacting herbal knowledge. You must be related to Dr. Terry Willard, or am I off on that assumption. I studied under him in 1978 and since herbology is my got to healing plant. Now with ankylosing spondilosis diagnosed I am thinking the cedar, my chosen last name may be one key plant to enjoy. Thx.
I believe this tree to be my Ancestors tree. I always heard oak is the tree of life.. This summer I have been such a lover of her!! I have hugged her sat with her.. Yaas!
Yarrow, that was an awesome episode! I love watching your channel because I not only learn so much, but you have such a pleasant, kind, and reverential disposition and approach to imparting your wisdom. It makes nature walks with my doggos that much more engaging! Many thanks. 💚
ok intro was very inventive and funny..loved it..I also loved the information..I have a lot of red cedar here in South Carolina..so it's wonderful to watch a video that's full of fun and humor and amazing information as well..great video
I hope this one doesn’t end up in the offensive bin as most everything that comes out of my mouth does- but when I eat mushroooms or did as a kid 🧒I got to many grown up problems I’d have to deal w to do that now and I don’t know what would happen but i saw colors like auras around people trees and animals and the trees had faces and huge colored energy around them every tree usually an elderly man but odd I had a dream once of a cedar or pine and a person dancing and chanting around it and I knew somehow it. Was a generational curse after I researched if the trees were related to curses and I couldn’t find anything I’m still a bit disturbed by it
Just found your channel yesterday. I love the content. I've been on a spiritual journey that has recently brought me to Source knowledge and hearing you speak about the plants and source is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing these videos!
Yes, thank you for this vital precious knowledge! I'm on the northeast coast would the eastern red cedar, "Juniperus virginianar" have the same healing properties as the western red cedar, "Thuja orientalis"? I notice they have different names yet are visually almost identical
In the Tsalagi medicine tradition, Atsi (eastern red cedar) is used similarly. It is also quite good for repelling disease carrying insects (with the exception of deer ticks, for some reason).
I truly enjoy watching and learning from the herbal jedi and family! He has an awesome connection with our shared Mother, "Terra"!! Thanks for your hard work and sharing it with the "youTubular" family. Love from your sister from another mister, Alaska sizing it with a 3 fold
What is being called cedar in the video is actually Juniper. Cedar doesn't occur naturally in north America. Juniper comes in many different varieties and smells great and very durable wood.
I was born in B.C. Canada...grew up in Alberta...whenever my family would visit the coast when I was a kid , I would first think of the smell of cedar to remember home...rain and cedar perfect combination.😁
Accidentally wat hed this video when a new phone started playing RUclips videos automatically (which I don't normally do). I am so glad I did! I have always had a love affair with cedar, and now I know more of the reasons why.
I've been hiking along the Cowichan River lately and EVERYTHING smells like cedar. As soon as I get deep in the forest and that smell hits my brain...I'm on another plain.
Wow bro I loved this and thankyou so very much for all the info...just brilliant. I have subbed and look forward to going through your older vids and any up coming ones. Keep on keepin' ohm- love, light and peace from the UK.

One fave herbalists also. Thinking about cedar last night, also last thousands of years
Me also

I'm wondering, is this the red Cedar Tree?
Yes it’s “ Western Red Cedar “ it’s native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States 🇺🇸 and through west coast of Canada to southeast of Alaska
I have cedar all over my acreage and now I’ve learned to use it in my macrame. The little tables I create make my friends so happy! The scent is intoxicating.
As a lover of wetlands and wooded areas, and their indescribable poetic beauty, the best use of cedar, is taking shelter under its shade in the heat of summer, or to take shelter during snow storms, the deer seem to love to to take shelter under them in the winter.
I can't stop watching these videos! Speaking to my soul!!

@@itsmehattie9493 It's the "Rock Shop" in the Keweenaw. You walk up behind the shop, and the vortex is up there. The owner will gladly show you!
The world is a better place when society reconnects with a true appreciation for the Earth and its many blessings it shares with us all!
Thank you for passing on the knowledge.
+Emrah Gunduz We are more then happy to share as may ways as we can for people to get out and connect with the natural world.
In Siberia they also have a big native tree with strong medicinal properties they call cedar. But it is a pine, a close relative to the endangered American white bark pine.
Such a beautiful way to communicate this information thank you namaste
WOW, that forest is GORGEOUS. I want to live there! Great info, thank you :)
Read the book THE RINGING CEDARS OF RUSSIA I love that book !!!!!! I really believe these trees are magical!!!
Holy_Hand_Grenade-of-Antioch wow you're ignorant as hell
mzvirgo 84 what’s it about? Is it fiction?
SAME! I bought the book on a whim once and lost it, can't wait to read the full series. All plants are magic and vital 💖

Thank you for a wonderful video about cedars. I live in a cedar forest. Now I know more about them.
I never thought about the connection and appreciation aspect. It makes perfect sense though, since plants can feel positive/negative feelings.
Do you have a book out about herbs? Love your videos 🇺🇸
You have a special gift and thank you for sharing!
Creative and fun intro. interesting and useful information too, thanks.
So this is the second video of yours I watch and am officially a fan. Thank you so much for your wisdom!

Thank you, very insightful and interesting. Great to see how you honoured the Trees, reciprocity and sacred ceremony.
The ceremony you held with the tree was very touching 💥
I’m interested in tree resins. Hopefully your channel has a video on that!
First terps that are pushed out of root can have v strong powerful afdects

Ancient Cedar of Lebanon grew larger than imagination .
