Fabulous! Loved this. Fellow commando here - literally always (ah, the benefits of split drawers!!!) :P I used to go barefoot all the time but there is zero safe way to do that in Ireland. Shoes make my feet hot too! These days it's barefoot at home and full boots outdoors. Also frequently totally sky clad at home unless it's too cold. ::shrug:: There are several things I do (including ecstatic dance, facial grimaces/distortions, and animal noises) that are very similar to what you talk about here... but your ideas are so well developed and anchored! Very inspiring, Lennan )
Se, I would think it would be safer to go barefoot in Ireland. Shows what I know. Lol. And, yes dancing, chanting, drumming, animal noises, it all works to get me in the right mindset for feralty. 🐺💜
Wonderful to listen to you describe your own perception of being feral. I also detest shoes, always have, and I'm in my 60s now; but then, I'm an Ozarks hillbilly, born and raised (many generations of Ozarkers going back), and spent a good portion of my childhood barefoot on the grandparents' farms as well as at home. Much of what you describe is familiar - been there, done that, still do it as often as possible. I've always simply called my personal approach one of being as close to nature/natural as possible, especially at home and since I"m essentially a mega-hermit, it's definitely a form of personal and lifestyle empowerment. Thank you for sharing your spell/ritual - very creative and intuitive. I like you calling it 'feral' - I've always referred to it as either my wild-self or my nature-self, but the feral taps into the recognition that we are 'civilized' humans who can choose to 'go feral' at times, in whatever way that means to us. Blessings!
For so long I didn't have a name for it. Then, FERAL hit and it was like a bell ringing with resonance. It clicked! I also call it my wild self and that works wonders in my craft. And, EXACTLY, civilized going feral is the vibe. I choose! Thank you for your comment, it means so much.
Thank yo u for sharing this. I wondered what some people mean by feral, becaus3 it never seemed to be as feral as I was thinking. I love this, witchcraft thst takes you away from society.
That hair cracks me UP!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 I love it😂🤣 Rain bathing *chefs kiss* Pitch water sounds interesting. I really like those 4 sounds and there meanings. I also really like the animal sound idea.
Feral, primal, mammalian, wild woman. So good.

@@LennanSmith Trash and actual (dog) shit everywhere. Also sometimes needles. Nope nope nope. 😅
@@LennanSmith I replied to this but I suspect it got filtered by youtube... which might indicate why one does not go barefoot here. :P
Thank you so much for sharing your practice and thought process
