chiapollination

braydon has lived a nomadic lifestyle for the past seven years. Following the journeyman tradition of the Germanic heritage, and traveling with other gypsies in far flung meccas all over the world. Learned from several teachers of tradition, permaculture, and spirituality, lived amongst the Zapatistas, the Lacondon Indians, Berber and the Mayans. Worked alongside Native Americans and farmed and explored in Norway and Sweden. He has written six books on topics ranging from shamanism, psychedelic plants, mythology, cosmology, philosophy, heathen tradition, health and fitness, and spirituality. He has lived in seventeen countries, and supports himself through reforestation, homesteading, permaculture, stewardship, and communal/neo-tribal living. He is now settled on a plot of land in the Appalachian mountain range of New Brunswick while moving towards a full time forager gatherer off grid lifestyle. To co-exist with my other life projects, these writings take a direction towards special concepts, more often than not, involving nature, dreams, lucid experience, homesteading, handmade art, prose, exploration, runic wisdom and inspirations but not limited to a carved niche. If you feel like we may resonate, write to me, and I'll write you back, that's how it works. This blog is about all things my heart drives me towards. I aspire to address humankind’s longing for adventure and our relationship with nature. Re-instigating an esoteric way of living, to build new mutual relationships between us and the planet, plants and people. It is complete animism and wild worship in the written contexts. And a fusion of high caliber travel literature with rusticated homestead diaries, from inside the wooden walls. Inspired by intense ritual experiences, hikes, shamanism, rewilding, plants, fauna, art, dreams, travel, passion, folk culture and music. I seek to portray a pure seeded interest in deep ecology and a rightful way of being with the world, with my heart and love rooted in place, from source are the words you read. This blog is the transmitter, which conveys the power and intensity of excursions into the primal wilds, contrasted with the evolving country lifestyle hand crafted in a forest cabin where I dwell when not traveling. The artwork and photography utilized is a result of fusion states between the spiritual and the temporal, while all experiences are real, and expressed through poetic medium of story telling. I'm currently investing spirit into a six month trip to the African continent, to meet the beautiful souls that live there, hunt & gather in wild places, farm in the old ways, and sit by the fires of the first people View all posts by :aferalspirit:
