Bonus video, for celebrating summer, from DW Docs:
"Sacred Birches of the Taiga"
In the boreal coniferous forest, where light and darkness, warmth and cold follow each other in an eternal cycle, a sacred tree watches over the inhabitants of the taiga: the birch. With its strong roots and tall crown, this special tree is a symbol of life. The northern Finnish Sami people revere it as a source of inspiration, a resource and a medicinal plant; its wood is used for heating, its bark sap as a medicinal essence and its branches for carving bows. Particularly long-lived trees are treated as oracles, and consulted on existential matters.
Love all these contributions. Thanks Vanessa and Rona for the work you did on this.
It was such a pleasure! So grateful for your contribution. Your reading is so beautiful, meditative and soothing. 💚
