Doug Elliott is a naturalist, herbalist, storyteller, musician, author, illustrator and something of a living legend in Rutherford County in Western North Carolina. After a story about deciphering the secret language of trout, we open on Doug's early career as a 1970's traveling forager. Now, no Doug Elliott conversation would be right without a 101 on groundhog-ology ranging from how to make groundhog shoelaces to understanding the medicinal properties of groundhog grease. The natural next step from groundhogs is opossums, Doug recounts the time he befriended an eccentric Alabama mayor who happened to be the president of the Possum Growers & Breeders Association of America. From there its on to folkways & more encounters with the natural world: doctoring a wounded hunting dog with strips of bark; a life lesson learned from a spruce grouse; eating poison ivy; folk names for regional plants & birds; and the inspiration for his latest book about bees.  Purchase Doug's books at Dougelliott.com Music by Doug Elliott"Oh Groundhog"Written & Performed by Doug Elliott"West Virginia"Written & Performed by Doug Elliott"Aint No Bugs on Me"Written & Performed by Doug Elliott"Wonderful to be be Alive"Written & Performed by Doug ElliottSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

Craig Northey, lead singer of Odds, joined Gregg Tilston and Karim Kanji on the show earlier this year. Canadian rock band Odds released their seventh studio album, "Crash the Time Machine," co-produced by Steven Page earlier this year. The album explores themes of struggle and community, showcasing the band's evolution into new musical directions while maintaining their dark ironic signature. The first track, "Staring at a Blank Page," is described as defiantly joyful, offering a perspective on overcoming immovable obstacles by altering one's own outlook. Singer and guitarist Craig Northey emphasizes the significance of friendship as a form of immortality, acknowledging the collaborative influence of friends, including the late John Mann of Spirit of the West, on the album. The band, consisting of Northey, bassist Doug Elliott, drummer Pat Steward, and guitarist Murray Atkinson, reflects on their musical journey, rooted in the present but informed by a rich past dating back to their founding in 1987. Odds gained recognition with their 1991 debut, "Neopolitan," and continued to achieve success with Gold-selling releases like "Bedbugs" in 1993 and Platinum-selling "Good Weird Feeling" in 1995. After a hiatus in 1999, they regrouped in 2007 to embark on the second chapter of their recording career with the release of "Cheerleader" in 2008.

Crash the Time Machine The Odds 7th album has been released. The basic Odds lineup of Craig Northey, Pat Steward, Murray Atkinson and Doug Elliott are joined by the 5th Odd – Steven Page. This is songwriting at a very high level,  then taken even higher by players who are truly gifted. I'm so glad that these guys got back together again after a hiatus from 2000-2007. You can hear multiple influences in each and every track. They've backed Warren Zevon, they wrote and played the soundtrack for  Kids in the Hall Film Brain Candy and their TV series Death Comes to town, toured with and played with The Tragically Hip and Barenaked Ladies, wrote music for Corner Gas. Crash the Time Machine deals with religion, the days we're all living in and several songs in memory of their friend Spirit of the West leader/writer John Mann. The song is Somehow in a Dream. The Waterboys are mentioned. As Craig tells us .. “John told me that in his last hours, he'd like to have someone play “Whole of the Moon”

You'll hear a symphony of crickets and other wildlife in the background as Thomas and Doug discuss his childhood, learning folk methods from 'old timers', as well as the path of learning about and connecting with medicinal plants. We hope you enjoy the wonderful and entertaining stories from our dear and magical friend, Doug Elliott. Introduction song "Dandelion Tips" sung by Doug Elliott. Doug Elliott is a naturalist, herbalist, storyteller, basket maker, back-country guide, philosopher, and harmonica wizard. For many years made his living as a traveling herbalist, gathering and selling herbs, teas, and remedies. He has spent a great deal of time with traditional country folk and indigenous people, learning their stories, folklore and traditional ways of relating to the natural world. In recent years he has performed and presented programs at festivals, museums, botanical gardens, nature centers and schools from Canada to the Caribbean. He has been a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival. He has lectured and performed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and conducted workshops for the Smithsonian Institution. He has led ranger training sessions for the National Park Service and guided people on wilderness experiences from down-east Maine to the Florida Everglades. He was named harmonica champion at Fiddler's Grove Festival in Union Grove, N.C. He is the author of five books, many articles in regional and national magazines, has recorded a number of award winning albums of stories and songs, and is occasionally seen on PBS-TV, and the History and National Geographic Channels. In recent years he has received a variety of honors. The National Storytelling Network (the largest storytelling membership organization in the world) inducted him into their Circle of Excellence for “exceptional commitment and exemplary contribution to the art of storytelling.” The International Herb Association presented him with the Otto Richter Award honoring his work with herbs and useful wild plants. The National Association for Interpretation (the professional organization of park rangers, naturalists, museum curators, etc.) gave him the Master Front Line Interpreter Award for his “mastery of interpretive techniques, program development, and design of creative projects” celebrating the natural world and our human connection to nature. Elliott's passion for the natural world developed in early childhood roaming the woods and waters around his home. His dad used to say, “That boy knows what's under every rock between here and town.” He still roams the woods today. He has traveled from the Canadian North to the Central American jungles studying plant and animal life and seeking out the traditional wisdom of people with intimate connections to the natural world. And he still looks under rocks. These days he uncovers more than just a few strange critters; he brings to light the human connection to this vibrant world of which we are a part.

“there were several objects in the room which called for special attention” [BLAC]  Collecting must be in the air: following our last episode with Rebecca Romney talking about Sherlockian collecting, we have with us the legendary Sherlockian collector Glen Miranker, BSI ("The Origin of Tree Worship"), who is staging an exhibit in conjunction with the Grolier Club in January. The exhibition is "Sherlock Holmes in 221 Objects" and will run from January 12 - April 16, 2022. Glen and his wife Cathy Miranker curated the 221 objects, selected from Glen's impressive trove of over 8,000 items. You'll hear how he came to acquire some of those objects, how he (or rather his erstwhile conscience) decides when to add an item to the collection, what it's like to prepare his most precious items to be loaned to an institution, and what to expect at the exhibition.

"It is with a heavy heart" [FINA]  The worlds of Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle enthusiasts have lost a giant. Jon Lellenberg, invested in the Baker Street Irregulars as "Rodger Prescott of Evil Memory" in 1974, passed away on April 24, 2021 after a short illness.   Jon's contribution to our hobby was almost too immense for words. He was a confidant and representative of the Conan Doyle Estate for many years, extending back to a close relationship with Dame Jean Conan Doyle. As an author and editor, he contributed to a number of books on Conan Doyle's life, including A Life in Letters and Dangerous Work, both co-edited with Dan Stashower, BSI ("Thurston").    Jon's knowledge of early Irregularity and the times in which those Irregulars lived and worked was unrivaled, which made him the perfect person to tackle the BSI Archival History Series.

Having no guest for this episode, we spend a rainy, snowy early winter morning reading stories by the fire. First we start locally, with two short folk tales from my mountains about spirit dogs and 'jack-ma-lanterns' read from Virginia Folk Legends edited by Thomas E. Barden. Next, I find the answer to my question about otter edibility in Norse mythology through a misadventure of Odin & Loki who must fill a magician's otter pelt with gold, read from The Norse Myths retold by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Then we visit the words of a great oracle, Clarissa Pinkola Estés to hear about the powerful feminine archetype of The Bone Collector read from Women Who Run with the Wolves. We wrap up this winter episode with a heartwarming bowl of turtle medicine soup from Wildwoods Wisdom: Encounters with the Natural World by the legendary Appalachian naturalist & folklorist Doug Elliott.

Life is full of wonders, questions, tragedies, and miracles. Every life is different, and every story is different too, but we can always find a way to relate to the good ones. We hope that the stories today spark memories and stories of your own that go on to be shared with loved ones. We have tales about things ranging from groundhogs to art in ancient catacombs from tellers Doug Elliott, Norman Walker, Ed Stivender, and more.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:“The Woodchuck as Warrior: of Whistlepigs and World Politics” by Doug Elliott from Groundhogology and Marmotabilia: Of Whistlepigs and World Politics (10:03)This story comes from a man who knows all about nature and an album that is all about groundhogs. It is entitled Groundhogology and Marmotabilia: Of Whistlepigs and World Politics. Doug Elliott is not only a storyteller, but also a naturalist and herbalist. He has traveled all over the Americas to investigate plant and animal life and learn about people's connection to the natural world. As he explains in this story, people actually have quite a big connection to animals. We can learn a lot about ourselves from watching those groundhogs. “Ballad of Ross and Anna” by Norman Walker from Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts (5:39)Norman Walker is not just a storyteller. He is a self proclaimed story singer. He has also been called a contemporary folk singer. This song, entitled “Ballad of Ross and Anna” is about a couple who falls in love and builds a cabin on a mountainside. Unfortunately, the granite slab they built it on was not as good of an idea as they originally thought. In the winter it seemed fine, but it was actually a home to rattlesnakes. “Sody Salaraitis” by Ed Stivender from Silly Jack: Stories and Songs for Children (5:54)Ed Stivender became a full time storyteller in 1977 after leaving his job as a high school teacher. Ever since he has been involved in storytelling across the country. This story comes from an appalachian tale reminiscent of a reverse little red riding hood. Instead of to grandmother's house, it's from grandmother's house, to pick up some needed backing supplies for grandma. One by one, each person sent to get some sody salaraitus doesn't come back until the only person left is the squirrel. “Animal Tales” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales: Animal Tales from Here and Away (7:17)Have you ever wondered how animals got their tails? They didn't used to all have them. If you pay attention, you'll see that some animals have long tails, and others have short ones. Some are fluffy and others are sleek. Laura Simms has the explanation. In addition to being a storyteller, she is the artistic director of the Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling Center in New York, a humanitarian, writer, and educator. “A Little Princess” by Catherine Taylor (10:22)This story is from Catherine Taylor. She has a PhD in the History of Art from the University of Manchester, and her studies center on images of women in early Christian contexts. Here she talks about what led her to such a discipline and the meaning she derives from the art of those women. It all started when she was a young girl who loved to daydream. Those dreams let her participate in new worlds. Now she explores the worlds of other's creations.

Dale Carnegie once said, “Two men looked out of prison bars, one saw mud and one saw stars.” Perspective involves our point of view or attitude toward a subject. Our perspective dictates what we see in the world around us.In life, do we see mud, or do we see stars? Today on the Apple Seed, our line-up of stories consist of storytellers Norman Walker, Rivka Willick, Linda Gorham, Diane Edgecomb, and Doug Elliott, each sharing with us that life is all “a matter of perspective.” On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts” by Norman Walker (Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts; 3:43)Norman takes the lyrics from musician Steven Foster's last words, written on a scrap found in his pocket when he passed away on January 13, 1854. “Mr. Peckinpaw” by Rivka Willick (Sordid Tales from Bennion's Inbox; 5:52)A youngster is initially unsure of the old Russian fellow who repairs their home, but comes to appreciate the man's gratitude despite his intimidating appearance.  “Pai & Kwan” by Linda Gorham  (Common Tales and Uncommon Fun; 10:45)“Pai and Kwan” is a traditional Chinese tale that gives perspective on doing the right thing for the right reasons. Two brothers, one gracious and one selfish, both attempt to do a good deed for very different motives – and very different rewards. “Dancing Spirit of the Birch” by Diane Edgecomb (In the Groves; 10:47)A Czech folktale about a young woman who retreats into the birch trees to work, only to be daily immersed by the dancing spirit of the grove. As she befriends her mysterious dance partner, the spirit gifts her with a special treasure.   “Fifty Thousand Bees on My Head” by Doug Elliott (Sail On Honeybee: Adventures in the Bee Yard; 16:24)This has been an episode about perspective, about how you see the world. And sometimes our view can be shaped and changed by our observations of the natural world. And there's no more up-close view of the natural world, perhaps, than having fifty thousand bees on your head. Here's Naturalist and storyteller, Doug Elliott to share that perspective.

The Best Words in the Best Order

Henry Nelson Coleridge, nephew of the famous English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, took notes about things he heard Samuel say at gatherings of family and friends from 1822 to 1834. He figured they might someday be worthwhile biographical records about the life of his famous uncle. After Samuel's death, Henry published the notes, bringing to light one of history's most oft repeated quotes about poetry:“I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry. That is, prose equals words in their best order; poetry equals the best words in the best order.”And while we certainly have a lot of “words in their best order” in our collection of fairytales and folktales, you'd be surprised how many of those pieces of prose toe the line of poetry. Whether it's short, repeated phrases (“I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow the house down”), rhymes (“Jack and Jill went up the hill”), or even just the performative style of speaking (“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!”), poetry fits right into the fairytale crowd. So today, we've pulled out a whole stanza of poetic folktales and rhymes from our library, from the naturalist poetry of Doug Elliott to the rhymed adventures of Linda Gorham. Join us on a rhythmic journey to the land where poetry and prose meet: the land of storytelling. On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Frogs, Guardians of Water” by Doug Elliott (12:57)This poetic creation story recounts the history of water.  When the creatures of the earth begin to take their water for granted, the wells of life run dry—literally and figuratively. Will the great council of animals be able to restore the flow of the creator's greatest gift? And who will the council select to guard that gift forever more? Well, the title should give you a pretty good hint. This story is from the famous naturalist Doug Elliott's collection of bush folktales called Bullfrogs on Your Mind. See if you can catch the quick, four-line poems that Doug sneaks into this story—sometimes they're over before you even realize they rhymed!  “The Artist” by Ted Fink (6:50)Written by Ted Fink himself, and part of a collection of newer work from the Philadelphia storyteller called The New Stuff: Stories ‘n Songs, this longform poem tells the tale of why Ted grew into a storyteller. He compares his very conservative aunt Seely to his seemingly mysterious uncle Lou. When Ted finds one of Uncle Lou's beautiful wood carvings relegated to a shelf in the basement, he comes to better understand the price of living your dreams, and why those dreams sometimes end up on the shelf.  “Three Poems of Arab Andalusia” by Pam Faro (2:49)13th-Century Spanish writer Ramon Llull (yuh-ee) published “The Book of the Gentile and the Three Wise Men,” a remarkable work that tells of three teachers—a Jew, a Christian, and a Muslim—amiably conversing together about their three faiths. At the end of the day, they agree to meet again and again to repeat the rich experience. This medieval story was the inspiration for Pam Faro's Andalusian Trilogy collection, which includes offerings from each of the three Abrahamic faith traditions, including these pieces of translated Arabic poetry. “The Road Not Taken” by Joseph Sobol (4:25) Joseph Sobol brings Robert Frost's classic poem to life by setting the lyrics to his own jaunty, folksy piece of music. Though Frost initially wrote the now famous poem as a joke for a friend, “The Road Not Taken” would go on to be a beloved part of the American poetic cannon as a fairy-tale-like meditation on choice. It was originally published in Frost's 1916 collection, Mountain Interval. Sobol is both a professional folklorist and cittern player of Tennessee fame, bringing poetry and music to his Southern fans with a variety of storytelling collections, including the one this song belongs to: Citternity. “Black and Yellow” by Tim Lowry (7:37)This traditional “porquoi” tale hails from Spain and explains why bumblebees have their black and yellow stripes. Tim doesn't tell the story in verse, but the bee has long been a part of the literary tradition of Spain as a symbol of industriousness, godliness, and even memory (the beehive is often compared to the mind in structure). From Tim's cross-cultural collection, Folk Tales from Around the World, this story has all the trappings of a Tim Lowry telling: poetic language, historic facts, and an unmistakable Southernness. “The Mr. & The Mrs.” by Linda Gorham (4:05)This nursery-rhyme-style tale follows a couple who come into possession of a magic pot that duplicates anything put inside. But what happens when you put in someone instead of something? This cute take on an old welsh legend, from a collection of family tales called Common Sense & Uncommon Fun, is only one side of Linda Gorham's impressive storytelling repertoire. On the other end of the spectrum, Linda's well-researched historical retellings won her the Linda Jenkins Brown Nia Award for Service from the National Association of Black Storytellers.  “Lost in Cyberspace” by Donna Ingham (6:09)Donna uses this freeform poem to explain how her son and his wife introduced her to the world of technology, to which she calls herself an “immigrant in a foreign land.” The poem uses clever wordplay to spin tech company names, internet slang, and other technical jargon into a web of misunderstandings between generations. The story comes from a collection called Our Boy, C. Y. (and his Sweet Young Thing of a Wife), which gathers six of Donna's prize-winning, original lies. So, naturally, nothing about this story is true.

"I am one of a hundred" [ILLU]  Well, we managed to do it.

We also asked you what your favorite moments are and what you wanted to know from us. Well, we managed to deliver on both.   Our 100th episode gave us a chance to reflect on exactly what turning 100 means, and to dive back into our murky and fuzzy origins.

"After an excellent voyage the Hotspur landed us at Sydney" [GLOR]       Australian Sherlockians are some of the most amazing people. We had the opportunity to put our theory to the test not once, but twice. And the most recent occasion was in April 2016 on a visit to Sydney.   There we met with some wonderful and fun Sherlockians: Bill Barnes, BSI, Roseane McNamara, BSI, Kerry Murphy, Christopher Sequeira, Doug Elliott, BSI, Robert Veld, Erin O'Neill, and Malcolm Ellis, to be specific. While we were there, we had a chance to learn about their own unique experiences and got them to tell us a few stories of life as a Sherlock Holmes fan Down Under.   In this episode, we'll take you there through music, sound effects and good old imagination. We hope you come along on this voyage with us. We promise it won't end the same way that the Gloria Scott met its fate.   As a bonus, here are some images of the Passengers:       Our special thanks goes out to Mary Miller for her extraordinary Patreon support!
