2 oz Raw White Willow Bark Strips from Diamond WillowDried Herb Magick Supplies
July and Early August 2020 Wild Harvest USA
This willow bark is wild crafted from the end of this years seasonal harvest of 2020 of mostly live trees that I use to make walking sticks.
BARK SIZE:
Some strips are small, some are long. I usually bend the long ones so they'll fit better into a bundle before packing them up to send through the mail.
PHOTOS ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.
Bags are weighed, so the amount you get varies on how wide or thin the bark strips are, or how heavy the outer layer of bark is.
CONDITION:
dry and pure. It's been dried for a few days in the wind and summer sun, after being left to get rain and sunshine for a few weeks. May have dirt or dusty crumbs, though I've tried to remove most of it by a light brushing. I didn't want to wash it! LOL
USES:
_ Traditionally used for arthritic and other pain relief
_ Soothing tea (via decoction, ie boiling, not infusion or simple steeping)
_ Incense (I love the smell even without burning it)
_ Sacred reverence and ceremonial magic
_ Weaving or crafts

BARK IS FROM MAIN WOOD, NOT DIAMONDS:
Bark is sometimes removed in long strips, but often it comes off in little strips at a time, especially when gingerly navigating around the wooden diamonds. I just strip bark from the main wood, and don't strip bark off the diamonds themselves. That's removed by whittling with a knife or dremel tool, and becomes little specs of dust that is not included in these bunches of strips. See 'About Diamond Willow' below.
BARK IS FROM LIVE TREES.
I do make trekking staves from dead or half dead trees, as well, but this bark isn't from those. On dead trees, the bark doesn't come off easily or in nice strips like you'll get here. It only peels off fairly easily when the sap is running in the tree.
SUSTAINABLE HARVEST:
All trees are hand selected and gently removed from a clump of trees. The removal of one or two trees from a clump allows the rest of the clump to flourish as this gives them greater access to sun and soil nutrients.
ABOUT DIAMOND WILLOW:
Diamond willow is a type of white willow that Mother Nature has decorated with gorgeous wooden diamond shapes of deep caramel and maroon or reddish brown hues, formed by a fungus that twists the wood.
WALKING STAFFS:
Diamond Willow is pretty much all we do.

before I run out. I only harvest for 2-3 mos. in summer when the sap is running.
What I have listed now is almost all the bark I have until next summer.
