Don’t Forget To Eat Your Nettles in the Month of May 💪🏼 Here’s a little film I shot on my phone in May 2018 of a friend of mine, Declan Flanagan from Blackwater, Co. Wexford showing me how he makes up a nettle based concoction fused with hawthorn blossoms, cleavers, ginger, lemon, honey and the odd caterpillar during the month of May. We grew up with this May tradition from my grandmother in nearby Ballygarrett where she’d always boil up three feeds of nettles in May and give it to us as child

Amazing Nettles, I love to print with leaves that are a little tired, they have served their purpose and fed a few insects, have a few wounds and tears, but produce the most lovely prints. If you want to try this lovely process there is a list of all materials on the website :) link in the profile or you can pop over to https://www.impressionsofnature.co.uk/materials Their sting seems particularly potent at this time of year and comes from droplets of histamine and formic acid.

In Slavic folk practice, nettle has long been regarded as a fierce protective plant. Known for its sting, it was believed to possess the ability to repel harmful forces, both physical and spiritual.
