My grandparents are from Slovakia and lived most of their lives up in the Carpaithian mountains. They hung garlic above all doorways of our house to keep the vampires 🧛‍♂️ and evil spirits away 👻 ❤😊

I grow garlic all over my property. I absolutely love it. I also make medicine from it for the winter season. We cannot truly appreciate folklore and myth and magic without plants. Truly they go hand in hand. Foraging itself is a magical working. Thank you so much for not neglecting it. Love to hear the folklore of the green kingdom.

foraging and folklore? instant like! also nerd time: bear garlic is also strongly rooted in slavic folklore, back in a day it was considered a very potent healing herb that gave the power of the bear to whomever consumed it often enough (sometimes it needed to be prepared by a wisewoman/herbalist to activate this power). it was also known as the 'witch's onion' and it was believed that it can ward off evil spirits called upiór/upyr (where the word vampire comes from) maybe that's where the notion that garlic in general works for vampires comes from?

I find Wild Garlic in Northern Michigan were we share with Bears. That's why I never go in to the Woods without a bell on my boots in early Spring. Tell them where you are to give them a chance to protect little Bears.. Later in the Summer the Bears tend to be close to Blueberry patches around here.

Lucky to have bears where you are. Wearing a little bell. I love that. Mind you, not sure wether I actually want bears in my woodland life. I like falling asleep in the forest and not worry about being eaten, except by midges 😂😂😂

Garlic is so versatile! Love it. Like braiding common garlic stalks when they are freshly picked and have hung them above or near front door. Can also weave cut hair into the garlic braid to heal illness, protection, prosperity or even binding depending on what you wish to do. My mom gifted me a long braid of my hair when I finally cut my hair as a kid. Comes in handy😊

Interesting....Garlic and Onion grew out of the Devil's footsteps as he was chased out of Paradise.... almost as if the plants rapidly spread themselves to ward off from their domain. Like the life force of the garden repelled. Cool lore. It's pretty inspiring.

Foraged a bit in Northwest Arkansas a few years back. The tiny little wild onions were my favorite thing to find there. The leaves, when dried and used as a spice, made everything it touched "savory ". There were also some good gourmet mushrooms and morels to be found in the old growth oak groves scattered everywhere in that region. Now I am in the Texas panhandle where the only thing really worth going after is the prickly pear cactus fruits, which I like to use in homemade ice cream. Watch out though, it will turn your tongue a nice royal shade of purple, but it's delicious and worth making.

Love this! I'm an avid forager myself and always love to know more than just the surface propertiesof a plant. I have a 20x20 meter patch of this stuff in my backyard atm, it gets eaten a lot but keeps expanding by a about a meter every year. Have to be careful when gathering this with other people though, here it likes to intermingle with a stand of lilly of the valley.😅

Thankee, interesting. A wee bit o' technical feedback to do with what you will... Perhaps tis intentional but in the main shot where you're lying in amongst the wild garlic and in another recent vid I watched it was very noticeable... the shadows particularly look pushed hard into the green (and red to some degree) in the colour mixing giving a murky dark green wash across your face - or that's where it distracts. It is effecting the highlights too as the sky appears light green instead of grey or blue. Just thought to mention it as it slightly detracts to me anyway. It could be remedied by increasing the blue in the colour mix. Obviously the foliage is green but it looks to me like the colour AI on your camera is going a bit loopy there with the prevalence of green in the foliage and so losing the colour contrast elsewhere. All zee best.

@TheStoryCrow 3 месяца назад
Ah thanks for that. I don’t really colour balance, but sometimes I smack a snazzy filter on, but maybe I should leave it as it is. Not much of a technical wizard over here. Just a regular plain old wizard. 😂
