Terri Conroy is an Irish herbalist, homesteader, and YouTuber under the name Danu's Irish Herb Garden in Connemara, Ireland. After a reading from Irish mythology about reincarnation during the founding invasions of Ireland, we begin with Terri describing the dramatic landscape where she lives & how the likes of her family subsistence farmed along the windy coast; from cutting turf in the bogs for their winter's heating to the use of various herbal remedies. For her first numinous story, she tells of a mysterious night in her youth, when without the cottage window she heard enchanting fairy music. Of course fairies open up folk-mythic conversations about the Tuatha dé Danann, the gods and goddesses of Irish mythology: the salmon of knowledge, fairy trees, Dian Cécht the healing god, and family anecdotes about the fairies in the fields and the ragged ghosts along the roads, ghosts who hearken back to the devastating mid-19th-century potato famine. From there, we hear about the Celtic holidays of the year, highlighting the upcoming summer festival of harvest, sports and crafts, Lughnasadh. We end by ruminating on connecting to one's roots, plant journeys, and the Irish mother goddess, Danu. Check out Terri's YouTube channel, Danu's Irish Herb Garden and find out more at her website, Danusirishhergarden.com.Support 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

The shed will be turned into a camping cabin (with AC). Who wants to come to a workday to help us get the areas looking nice? Main Topic of the Day: Homestead Buying Club and VictorhoodHomestead Buying Club and Empowering Homesteaders First off, I listened to the interview with Tactical and so very much appreciated him sharing his story and I found it really impactful and also inspiring in continuing on my own healing journey and personal growth, hopefully with some new ideas.  Second, last week's podcast about being a victor or victim was also helpful. It's the midst of burnout season for a lot of farmers (especially production based).  It's all got my wheels turning again about an idea I had exactly a year ago after talking with another market vendor friend and being sick of all the sundresses and floppy hats and picturesque unrealistic homestead Instagram crap. I don't really know the exact vision but just craving a support group of people in similar situations. See the image I made below:  But at the same time, the stress of farming for men is insane too. I know because I see it in Adam. He needs a community of like minded people. He's more isolated these days because he always feels behind on the farm. We are in a crucial make or break time with our expansion so it's been particularly stressful especially with cash flow management. I know it'll all work out but it can be tough. Adam left his full time job. I love the idea you had of a farm to table meal.  Also, I've had ideas before of a “homestead Home Depot” salvage (like super cheap consignment or free scraps) where people can look to get spare items others don't need anymore to build things on their homestead. The bad thing is I know everybody likes to keep their own personal junk piles cause “they might need it” but used lumber and scrap metal, animal feeders, heat lamps, waterers, fencing etc can all help people get started or attain something on a budget.  A network of people in the community willing to help people farm sit so that if ever there was a chance to travel you could pay someone familiar with handling livestock etc.  Also, on a personal level for our business, if you get a pma in place, I'm *guessing* you could custom butcher a hog and still sell the individual cuts to holler hub members.  There's some gray area there that I don't know about.  If it was legal that way that would save people a good bit of money for super high quality pork. In any case, I've got 23 pigs ready in another month or two that I need to displace. We don't have freezer space for all 23 so I'm hoping to get some customs sold too  These are all things that go on inside my brain and since you'd been discussing the holler hub, I thought I'd spill my ideas because I'm honestly overwhelmed with incubating and improving our current business model and not trying to start new ones at this time! I would still like for us to get out and about and adventure to your place for the next gathering so we'll bring your requested meats then unless you need otherwise.  VICTORHOODAfter listening to Episode 1060, I had some thoughts on the content. I'll try not to be too long winded but having lived a life full of adversity and still navigating the fall out from some things, I have quite a bit of thoughts. While I don't hope to magically cure anyone, I do hope to plant some seeds for thought. Towards the end of the episode there was a hypothetical posed. I just want to say, as someone who has personally experienced abuse, I wanted to reiterate that any victim of a crime is never responsible for what their abuser does. They are ONLY responsible for their own healing. It's not fair, but it is our responsibility in how we move forward. As life is, we sometimes trust the wrong people, sometimes we are born to them, sometimes we are the person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your singular responsibility, your role is not becoming a hurt person who hurts people. This is how we break cycles. This is how we become better people despite our adverse experiences. This is true when we get terminal diagnosis, we grew up in familial dysfunction, war, flooding, natural disaster and plagues. We lose people through death and abandonment. There are tons of adverse experiences we might not have placed ourselves in, however, we have choices, sometimes all of them are shit. Other times you must call yourself on your own shit. But remember, even manure can grow flowers and mushrooms.   On Forgiveness, there are 4 steps. Tell the story Name the hurt Grant Forgiveness Renew or Release the Relationship While that sounds much simpler than it is, these are the steps one must take. Once you have granted forgiveness, you are not allowed to continue to punish someone for the hurt they caused, that however, does not mean you stop talking about it. It means being able to talk to the transgressor in a way that opens a door for continued forgiveness. Telling the story doesn't mean you stand on stage and out the person. It means you speak directly to the person who caused the hurt. It means you reach out to trusted allies for perspective and support. When we are emotionally escalated, our thoughts can get carried away. Practice pausing when your emotions are heightened.   Nothing big will ever be able to be solved overnight. That means you do not have to have an answer today, tonight or even tomorrow. It only means you have a willingness to come together on the subject. Forgiveness is a practice. This means that sometimes you will have to choose to forgive over and over again. Every time that hurt or betrayal surfaces, you will have a decision to make. This makes repair work exceptionally important. If you are willing to forgive and the other person does not want to do repair work, you are entering a cycle of continued harm. Please know when to walk away. Sometimes the person you have to forgive is yourself. This is imperative for any repair and healing work.   And finally steps to changing negative thought cycles: Pause and Notice -What am I thinking right now? Become aware of the loop, what is the thought or repeating pattern.   Name the Pattern- What kind of thought is this? Am I catastrophizing, black and white thinking, mind reading (assuming I know what someone is thinking or judging me) or criticism?   Feel and Validate- What feeling is driving this thought? Most negative thoughts are a reflection of an unmet need Acknowledge and name it with kindness instead of judgment or suppression   Reframe the thought- What is a kinder, truer, and more empowering thought? Don't sugarcoat just shift towards something more balanced and compassionate. Ex: I've made mistakes, but I am learning, and mistakes do not define my character or value system. That was a good learning moment for me because I can be more aware of that moving forward. Look for evidence to prove yourself wrong. Think of this, if I am feeling unlovable, perhaps it's helpful to think of moments or people who make me feel genuinely cared for and loved. If I think I always have bad luck, try to remember a time when something worked out for me. Proving negative thoughts wrong can help disrupt the negative thoughts train.   Shift and Choose- What supportive action can I take now? Do something that helps you reset. This can be journaling, breath work or moving your body. Do something that is for yourself, just YOU. Pouring yourself into something (like work) instead can be emotional bypassing. You want to be in your body and body aware, not avoiding it.   Anyway, I hope all of this is helpful. I hope it gives some actionable steps to those who aren't certain where to start. And I hope this makes you all feel more free. Freedom is often found in the work we are avoiding. I want to add that you are worth your own 20 minutes for journaling, for a cup of quite coffee, for moving your body in a way that feels good to you. You have not received all the goodness you'll ever have in your life YET. But all of that begins and ends with you.   Make it a great week.   GUYS!

Do you ever find it hard to have enough energy to get you through your day? When you're a homestead mom, the home is a busy place. There's a lot to get done, and it can be hard to get it  all done when you are dragging in the morning, having a mid-morning crashes, or afternoon slumps. I know when I lack energy, it takes a huge hit to my productivity. Maybe you find yourself slogging through your day with the kids, one cup of coffee at a time? Meanwhile, you keep checking the clock to see if your husband will be home soon so you can just get a little break. Oh boy, if that isn't a relatable picture for me, I don't know what else is. With 3 little kids, a husband that works long hours, and a lot of demands placed on me, I need to keep my energy up to hold things together at home. That can be easier said than done, but I want to share 5 ways that I work to improve my energy so I can get more done during the day, and not only that, enjoy the day-to-day workload of a busy homestead mom. I pray that God would use this episode to pull you out of a slump and find ways to give you the energy you need to parent well, take care of your home, and for your homestead to thrive. I know that is no easy task, but it is a doable one, and I hope you find some of my personal experiences helpful for you too.

If you've ever dreamed of leaving the suburbs for a slice of quiet country life, this episode will speak right to your heart. Author Melissa Ferguson joins me to share the real-life inspiration behind her new children's book, Our Friendly Farmhouse—a sweet and whimsical reflection of her family's journey from cul-de-sac to countryside. We talk about building a home from scratch, traveling with a big family, and slowly creating a homestead that feels peaceful, practical, and full of charm. Melissa offers encouragement and budget-friendly tips for anyone in the thick of building, dreaming, or simply trying to make thoughtful choices in the season they're in. In this episode, we cover: Melissa Ferguson returns to share the inspiration behind her debut children's book, Our Friendly Farmhouse, which tells a whimsical version of her family's move from suburbia to the country How a spontaneous land auction and a last-minute bid from her brother-in-law launched their homesteading journey The process of building their home from scratch—leveraging her husband's experience as a builder and funding parts of the project through social media brand deals Reflections on the early stages of their homestead—living in town during the build, missing the land, and making daily visits to the property A rich conversation about traveling with a big family—carry-on-only tips, spontaneous trips, dividing and conquering, and how animals (especially dairy cows) impact travel flexibility Melissa's best budget-saving build strategies: buying materials on Black Friday, repurposing gym flooring, and skipping high-end finishes in favor of upgrades over time Thoughtful advice on design choices—prioritizing natural light, southern exposure, adaptable floor plans, and creating cozy, lived-in charm Honest reflections on what she might do differently: adding a tornado shelter, skipping carpet, and not letting a gifted vanity dictate an entire bathroom design Why they chose to build slowly, add animals over time, and prioritize flexibility over going “all in” from the beginning The value of outdoor gathering spaces—daily porch coffee with her husband, chalk art and pickleball in the driveway, and simple spots that invite rest and connection View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Andy McLaughlin joins the show from a remote island in Alaska where he lives off the land enjoying a true subsistence lifestyle. Having grown up with grandparents who were passionate about the outdoors, Andy became interested in nature at a very young age. Spending much of his childhood on farms in the Midwest, his early connections to the land ranged from farming to hunting, fishing and foraging. Well respected for his culinary skills and creativity in utilizing wild game in the kitchen, Jesse Deubel first met Andy on the “Hunt, Gather, Cook” Facebook page. This page was created by and is run by famed wild game chef and author Hank Shaw. After years of communicating and sharing recipes, Andy traveled to New Mexico to hunt javelina with Jesse in 2024. The two hunted an area that Hank Shaw would also visit as he did research for his newest book, “Borderlands.” “Borderlands” highlights recipes and stories from the Rio Grande to the Pacific. It's a must have for every kitchen. In spring of 2025 Jesse traveled to Indiana to hunt and fish with Andy on his family farm. In this casual conversation Andy and Jesse recall these experiences as they discuss the critical importance of healthy habitat for sustainable wildlife populations. They also dive into the role hunting plays in effectively managing wildlife. No topic is off limits as they delve into the challenges of climate change and the current threats to public lands. Andy is an incredible outdoorsman with a background in wildlife management. His knowledge and experience are sure to both educate and entertain. Enjoy the listen! For more info:NMWF Website

Tales from the Prepper Pantry Freezer went down, but the Yolink sensor caught it in time — major save.   Pickled beet-palooza this week. Pantry smells like vinegar and victory.   Put up a solid batch of dill relish.   Premade meatloaf in the freezer is paying off big right now during long days.   Need to work on a better strategy for keeping the pantry space cooler in summer. Operation Independence We're making steady moves on the Holler Hub setup. Lynne suggested we use the Basecamp basement and classroom for the country store — keycode access and posted hours. Also starting up GSD work weekends this summer. Main Topic of the Day: Ways to Beat The Heat on The Homestead Why This Matters Heat waves can wreck your garden, stress your animals, and push you to your limit. If you ignore the signs, you pay for it later — in lost yield, poor health, or burnout. It's time to adapt. Plant Care During Heat Plants struggle to uptake calcium through roots when soil temps go above ~85°F — a CalMag foliar spray helps keep them from curling up and dying.   Shade cloth is your friend. Your garden doesn't need full sun all day — especially in the South. I built a PVC shade structure that changed the game.   Water early, mulch deep. Timing is key.   Know when to leave stressed plants alone — sometimes less is more.   Livestock Management Pay attention to microclimates. Move animals to shaded, breezy areas if you have them. If not, start figuring out how to create them.   Always be checking water — manually or with sensors. Don't assume it's fine.   Look for signs of heat stress: panting, lethargy, standing in water, reduced feed intake.   Think long-term: is your pasture layout working in July?   Homesteader Self-Care Hydration is more than water — think salt, trace minerals, cucumbers, bone broth.   Plan your day around the sun. Hard stuff in the morning and evening.   Work in bursts — short and intense is often better than long and slow.   Know the signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Don't tough it out.   Systems & Tools Yolink sensors saved my butt this week. Don't rely on memory for water or power checks.   If you have a natural feature like a cold creek — use it. My 55-degree creek is the MVP right now.   Heat is the best teacher. Pay attention and plan infrastructure improvements while you're sweating — you'll actually solve the problem. Reminders Get your Self-Reliance Festival tickets — prices increase soon.   Subscribe to the LFTN newsletter for events, updates, and useful stuff I don't post anywhere else.   Make it a great week.

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast! In this week's episode, I'm sharing some stories from the early days of our homestead, the hard lessons, the high hopes, and the deep love that has grown in the soil of our farm over the years. This episode was recorded in a season of low battery mode for me, a time when I was physically and emotionally drained, but still showing up to care for my animals and tend to the life we've built. In the quiet of these days, I find myself remembering. From the goats that first stole my heart to the steep learning curves of loss and perseverance, this is a reflection on how far we've come and how familiar this once-dreamed-of life has become. I talk about the value of seasoned love; in marriage, in farming, and in the calling to steward well. This isn't about the novelty of a new adventure, but the deep roots of a life lived slowly and intentionally. Thank you for spending time with me today.

Easier to stack, serve, and clean Hoping to score cucumbers this weekend for the next round of pickling Frugality Tip A little weekly effort saves you tons of money in convenience food over time. I've been making 8 pounds of meatloaf at a time lately—when meatloaf is on the meal plan, I shape and freeze extras for future, easy-to-serve meals. In fact, once a week, I pick something to batch like this—whether it's blanching and freezing extra broccoli, or making carnivore pizza crusts. When life gets busy, I can just pull, cook, and serve—faster than driving into town or grabbing premade, low-quality food. This habit saves money, improves nutrition, and helps prevent impulse spending. It also keeps us healthier, which could mean fewer medical bills later. So here's your challenge: Look at your meal plan this week and find one thing you can double and freeze. Future you will thank you. Operation Independence I finished my taxes! One more round to go and I'll be fully caught up. This process hasn't just been about checking a box—it's given me real insight into where money is flowing (and where it's not). That clarity has helped me reprioritize how I spend my time and energy moving forward. Sometimes, independence means getting your financial house in order—even if it's uncomfortable. Main Topic of the Day: If I Were Starting a Homestead Today - a question from Ian who is about to buy his homestead from across the country and move… FIRST THE BAD STUFF I DID Make it fun more often and from the start - Bulldoze the house and build new in a better location - Emotional attachment to the goats Maybe Not Get Goats  Moved the garden to zone 1 Retaining wall and French drain system - easy maintenance plan  1 animal or major change at a time until it is easy - Hard reset on stuff  Infrastructure before animals (see above) Time on the property to observe the seasons - Overseen contractors and helpers more closely - Build with profit in mind - 1 thing financing the next thing  Addressed the negative energy issue - Better use of on-site resources - like junk trees - morel story -  Get good at compost first - grazing - soil Water system - repair versus fix once and for all - Learn from the local community regarding what grows well here, hydrology, local knowledge and dependable contractors take classes development relationships talk to neighbors Hydrology/water, access, then the rest is the order to plan in I waited ten years to bring in a permaculture consultant and that was wrong 5 Things You Should Do When Starting a Homestead (From 18 Years of Hard Lessons) Start With a Big-Picture Plan, Not What's Already There Too many new homesteaders try to make existing structures or systems work—even when they don't. That old house, random infrastructure, or legacy garden spot can lock you into years of wasted time and money. Don't get emotionally attached to what's there. Design from scratch based on what works, not what exists. Build Soil and Observe Before You Build Anything Permanent The smartest first year move is not to plant trees, build a barn, or install major systems - unless you just have to as part of your plan. It's to study your land and build soil health. Hydrology, sun, wind, and microclimates matter more than what you think you want to do. Compost, watch water flow, graze slowly, and improve soil. One System at a Time—Fully Functional Before You Add More Piling on animals, gardens, or outbuildings without the infrastructure in place leads to burnout and chaos. If you're chasing goats while digging fenceposts, you're doing it wrong. Add systems only when the current one runs easily. Tap Local Knowledge and Outside Experts Early You don't need to figure everything out yourself. Local growers, neighbors, county experts, and consultants can save you years of mistakes—if you listen.  The culvert story Build relationships and take advice. Pay consultants when it counts. Manage the Energy—Spiritual, Emotional, and Environmental Homesteading isn't just physical work. There is a spiritual signature from before you were ever there and you may have attracted some haters over time - take control of the bad energy, get your property blessed or whatever you need to do to protect it, and yourself, from unnecessarily bad baggage. This is ongoing. Clear bad energy, maintain spiritual health, and set firm boundaries. The Holler Roast Prebuy is live! Support the shack, get coffee credit, and score digital goodies.

Alan Pinkerton: The Private Detective Who Saved Lincoln's Life and Built America's Contract Security State

Alan Pinkerton is perhaps the most over-achieving barrel-maker who ever lived. After practicing his trade in rural Illinois for a few years in the 1850s, the Scottish immigrant busted up a counterfeiting ring, which got the attention of Chicago’s police department, offering him a job as a detective. From here he worked as an intelligence agent in the Civil War (preventing an assassination attempt on Lincoln’s life), then pursued high-profile outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and protected scabs in the Homestead lockout, for which his private detective agency became notorious. Pinkerton has been an enduring source of fascination since the nineteenth century. But the details of his impact, business empire, and private life have been incomplete. Today’s guest is Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones, author of “Allan Pinkerton: America's Legendary Detective and the Birth of Private Security.” We discuss the accomplishments, contradictions, controversies, and legacies of the founder of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
