Acorn Woman and her Ecological Consorts
Tom Ward aka Tomi Hazel’s 2014 Annual Storytelling, Ashland, Oregon
Currently not available by link. Contact us if you want access to this.
Acorn Woman is the guardian spirit of the White Oak tree, an ecologically key species of the forest in our region, especially in the oak pine savannah. The White Oak has a high degree of connectivity in ecosystems, which is called implication, a poetic word in the English language with lots of different implications. White Oak, Acorn Woman, the Triple Goddess, the White Goddess, Diana the huntress, all of these are associated with the White Oak in different cultures, in different places, showing us the central ecological importance of the White Oak tree. Because she’s such a strong woman, she has many consorts, the spirit animal plant guild of the White Oak. We’re going to meet her friends and talk about their relationships to her and to each other, and learn about our relationships to this place.

PERMACULTURE IN SOUTH AFRICA
2 hour presentation of a slide show given in January 1995. The subject is Tom’s four months at Thlolego Learning Centre near Rustenburg, South Africa in the fall of 1994. Tom was there to teach a PDC and support village development with technical advice and help. This was just after Nelson Mandela was elected president and the revolution had not yet fully settled down. Tom says, “I learned a lot and taught the PDC in seven languages under translation with lots of break out discussion groups.”
