Motherline Medicine ~ Wise Woman Tradition

Updated: Oct 18



From my willingness to know nothing, a new knowing arises.


What is the Wise Woman Tradition? What is Motherline Medicine?

Where have I been? Where am I going?


(All quotes are from "Healing Wise")

"These are the ways of our ancient grandmothers, the ancient ones who still live. These wise women spin the invisible web which weaves us all together. They invite you to weave the threads of your own life back into the cloak of the ancient ones."


Nourishing is INVISIBLE. The Wise Woman Tradition nourishes wholeness/health/holiness simply. Motherline Medicine nourishes even further, even deeper: all the way to the invisible mitochondria. Listen closely, Susun. Receive mitchrondial wisdom.


WOMAN, womb-one, XX-bearers receive mitochondria from their mother. Men, XY-holders, receive mitochondria from their mother. Everyone, no matter what their pronoun, receives mitochondria from their mother. Motherline Medicine is mitchrondial wisdom. Follow the mother-line, Susun.


"In the Wise Woman Way, we are all herbalists, for we all eat the plants of the earth."

In Motherline Medicine, we all understand that our health depends on the health of our MITROCHRONDIA, our motherline.

All medicine arises from the mother-line.


"The Wise Woman Tradition does not insist on fixity, does not look for repeatability, and recognizes that there is no such thing as an objective statement or an objective universe."


There is no visible structure in the Wise Woman Tradition.

Everything changes in an ever-turning spiral.

Motherline Medicine shows us the structure, the mother-line, the mitochondria. Here we find unchanging FUNDAMENTAL CONS . Now we embrace the axis mundi, the center around which the spiral turns. Back holes and black matter, invisible event thresholds, non-interactive threads that weave wholeness.

"The wise woman sees our disease, our problem, as an ally of wholeness."


There are NO DISEASES in the Wise Woman Tradition.

The name of the disease is not the disease.

We treat the person, not the disease.

Motherline Medicine sees mother-lines rather than individuals, patterns rather than diseases, incoherence rather than symptoms.

Motherline Medicine takes us deeper than the root of the problem.

Motherline Medicine connects us with the intricate, transformative mitochondria of the MYCELIAL WEB.

Simply, locally, lovingly, carefully, joyfully.


"Problems are not the result of wrongdoing in the Wise Woman Tradition. They are our allies. Getting cured is not the goal. We accept the gifts of problems, pain, disease, and death."


There are NO CURES in the Wise Woman Tradition.

There is no compulsion to diagnose and treat in Motherline Medicine.

We nourish wholeness instead of fixing or balancing in the Wise Woman Way.

All the parts of ourselves are in the motherline.

We are woven into the larger pattern in Motherline Medicine.

Our ancestors are alive in us in Motherline Medicine.

Herbs are not cures, not "drugs wearing green coats," but our allies, our partners, stirring mitochondrial memory, revealing INHERENT HEALTH.

I accept myself exactly as i am, right now.

I love myself exactly as I am, right now.

Every problem brings me gifts of wholeness.

There are no healers in the Wise Woman Tradition.

There are no rules in the Wise Woman Tradition.

There are no certificates, degrees, our licenses in the Wise Woman Tradition.

Green blessings nourish me, nourish my mitochondria.

Green blessings breathe with me, breathe with my mitochondria.

Every mitochondria, every cell, every organ, all of me responds to the rhythms of the earth.

Beauty below me. Beauty around me. Beauty in every direction.
