Anonymous asked: What can you tell me about my future

It will be whatever you make it.

Anonymous asked: Are you psychic?

No, but I’m sharp. Don’t trust people who tell you they are, mostly they are delusional or trying to take your time and money.

Anonymous asked: What do you consider basics/Staples for starting to learn herbology?

Honestly after 20 or more years being interested in natural medicine and accessing/using naturopaths, acupuncturists, reiki etc my personal opinion is that it’s a sham. It’s a waste of your good money and time. After taking pharmacology classes and other biology and science subjects at university it became very clear that nothing beats science and orthodox medicine. So my suggestion is become a doctor or a nurse or an emt. That’s what I would do if I was a teenager or in my early 20’s and looking for a meaningful occupation to help people with their lives.

Anonymous asked: I am wanting to be an herbalist. What is my first step?

Don’t save your money. Get a science based degree, especially try and do pharmacology subjects- natural medicine is mostly superstition and a waste of money.

It does not matter if you are a rose, or a lotus, or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.

…and I’m disgusted with dreams now — I want real things — live people to take hold of — to see — and to talk to — Music that makes holes in the sky —

And I?
I drink, I burn, I gather dreams.

I wonder why we’ve never heard of him…

Hollywood gonna make a movie of this starring Tom Cruise.

There’s actually a great podcast about him on “stuff you missed in history class”.

The history channel talked a him briefly in series about making America. It was good shit

[I was born in the State of North Carolina, Columbus Co., Anno Domini 1851.

And pronounced by scientist to be the 8th wonder of the world.

Tis not modest of one’s self to speak, But, daily scanned from head to feet, I freely talk of everything, Sometimes to persons wondering. Some people say I must be two! The doctors say it is not true. Some cry out humbug, till they see, And then exclaim, “great mystery.” Two heads, four arms, four feet, All in one perfect body meet. I am most wonderfully made, All scientific men have said. None like me since the days of Eve, None perhaps shall ever live. If marvel to myself am I, Why not to all who pass me by? I am happy too, because content; For some wise purpose I was sent. Our Maker knows what he has for one, Whether I’m created two or one. Respectfully, MILLIE CHRISTINE.

The Carolina twin, surnamed the 2-headed Nightingale]

Millie and Christine McCoy spoke five languages, were accomplished musicians and dancers (leading to them being billed as “The Two-Headed Nightingale”) , and although they began their lives enslaved, rose to prominence in Britain, met Queen Victoria, and ended up inheriting the farm where they were born.

I personally am amazed and inspired by the story of these two accomplished women.

There are more artworks, photographs, and writing by Millie and Christine here.
