I know, I've been gone for, like ever. But here is the thing, well a couple of things. Although I like writing and communicating about my life, plants, seasons, politics, those things take up time. DUDE. A ton of time. I realized something, I have to plan when to write here or it never gets done. Something you all probably knew already. Planning is the way to go.
So what have I been working on? World Wide Fire Cider Day. It's tomorrow!
I'll give you a shot synopsis of why. Back in the day (1970's) Rosemary Gladstar coined the term Fire Cider in her books, classes and teaching. She used a recipe that has been around for generations and many, many families have similar recipes with little details slightly different according to their likes and region.
This recipes went along, used by many, many, people. It got changed and added to according to peoples likes and dislikes but generally stayed the same. You may have heard this called a Master Tonic, too.
Now some business has trademarked the name Fire Cider. And wow! has there been an uproar! I know! Why would they do that? I don't know either, Fire Cider has always been a traditional remedy and has been handed down from mother to daughter, herbalist to apprentice, neighbor to neighbor. Every European Gramma I know has a recipe for Fire Cider.
So, if you would, please sign this petition asking the company to remove the trademark I would really appreciate it. http://chn.ge/1a4hzXW
There is also a facebook group with a wealth of information (none of it trademarked.) http://on.fb.me/1dUuXc3
