About the banner photos above:
LEFT: Reishi that a friend harvested locally. CENTER: American Ginseng that was harvested locally.
RIGHT: Delaware River. The yin/yang symbol (tai chi tu) comes from the Far East but is just as relevant here.
See how the bend in the river is reflected in the tai chi tu? Literally, yin means "the dark side of the mountain" while yang means "the sunny side of the mountain". This reflects the spiritual world (the invisible world) and the material world (the manifest). Yin and yang theory is the foundation of Far Eastern medicine including macrobiotics, Traditional Chinese Medicine, shiatsu (acupressure), chi gung, tai chi chuan, and karate.
LEFT CORNER: Bracken Fern CENTER (UPPER): Datura FAR RIGHT: Reishi & Bolete.
Below is the Marginal Wood Fern.
