I am making tinctures, lots of tinctures. The main one I am making uses the bark, leaves, berries and flowers of our "bootery bush" (more commonly known as elder). She is local, she is friendly, and her medicine is good for helping people go through a viral initiation.
Which, is, I think, a good way to think about our encounters with viruses. Sometimes, when the initiation has been successful, the virus which "infected" us, helps us do something entirely novel. Like carry a child inside of one's body, instead of in an egg.
