Þórr’s Wagon

The cult of Thor generally revolves around the community, fertility, farming, and the daily routine that most humans experience. Because of this, Thor was the most widely worshiped of the ancient gods and was the chief deity observed by the common folk. Thor protects man and the world from chaos, endowing power into our material forms. This force keeps man strong, driven, and determined, acting in accordance with honor, loyalty, and vitality. Thor represents the physical and temporal qualities of human life, things we can build, destroy, and manipulate in accordance with our will. Thor establishes order out of chaos, rhythm out of randomness. He represents the “tempo” of the seasons, symbolized by the wheel (or fylfot), and like the wheel, carries us forward safely through time and space.

May all revere the Thunder god.

“Reid is reins,
Reid is spokes,
Thor’s wagon,
Behind the goats.”

Chanterelle

The Chanterelle is an edible mushroom with medicinal perks. ⁣

You can find this golden treasure living in symbiosis with pine, spruce, oak and hornbeam.⁣

They will reappear in the same places year after year so long as the mycelium in the soil is not disturbed. One patch can produce fungi for generations.

Some of the benefits of Chanterelles include:⁣

    • Rich source of several vitamins and minerals including vitamin D which supports bone health⁣

    • Known to help reduce inflammation

    • Great immunity boosters⁣

We like to pickle our excess Chanterelles for later use.

Let us know if you have any favorite Chanterelle recipes or other uses!
