Thank you both, Laura and Marisa, so so much for sharing this powerful, enlightening story of Danu! I am grateful for the link the Tuatha De Dannan are between the Earth and Stars that you spoke of. As you explained how imbas is not merely of the past, but can guide poets today to unearth buried mysteries, I was reminded of stories of seeds becoming domesticated, seemingly losing their wild colors and shapes, but when the right moment arose, the domesticated ones began to birth wild children. Heirloom seeds thought to be extinct are re-emerging under the love and care of farmers who seek to honor them by planting them with the old songs and practices, however fragmented by colonization. The seeds feel the love and intentions, and are beginning to re-wild themselves. I see no difference with the people, the poets who “follow their dawn.” Thank you for following yours, and encouraging others to follow theirs. 🙏🏻
Oh, K., the image of domesticated seeds birthing wild children is going to with me for a long, long time. Thank you so much for adding to this collective Danu garden we’ve been able to grow between the Earth and the Stars.
