Making a wilder Rix (Experiments in self-rewilding)
Our full moon this month goes by the name of the Full Flower Moon (according to the seasonal method) or the Full Pink Moon (according to the monthly method — see Full Moon Names: Rewilding your calendar for an explanation of the different methods.)

I recently received an email from a friend that asked “Where the hell have you been anyway!?!”
“That looks like a fair question,” I thought to myself as I glanced at the post calendar in the sidebar of my blog to notice that the only posting for this whole month came down to the one I did for the full moon.

Willem Larsen of The College of Mythic Cartography and TrackersNW talks about the aspects of rewilding that often fall through the cracks:Â invisible skills.
As Jason Godesky has pointed out before, “primitive skills are, in general, easy to learn, and difficult to master.” I think this holds true all the more for invisible skills like communication, teamwork, and peacemaking.
Listen to Willem discuss these elusive skills in this YouTube video from TrackersNW.
Folks at REWILD.info have discussed the value of sign language in terms of rewilding.  One of the users (jhereg) pointed out this blog that discusses Native American sign language.Â
That post led me to discover some great YouTube videos of vintage 1930s footage of Plains Indians signing. You can view the full set of them on tommyfoley’s Videos page at YouTube, and check out this sample from the series (part 4 of 6) that shows the signs for several varieties of flora and fauna.
