Aboriginal medicine man's advice on seed fertility

[Guest 26753]

Recently, I got to talking with an aboriginal elder and medicine man, known as "The Clever Man", about sexing plants when looking for males rather than females. He reckoned that if I took the seeds that I wanted to go male, and put them inside a Kangaroo scrotum for a few weeks, the "man-ness of the spirit within the Roo scrotum would infuse into the germ of the seeds it held, and give me a much higher ratio of males to females.
I am on project now to look for a good male from all of these strains, so this advice has come in very handy.

So, off to a mate I go, who I know has access to tanned Kangaroo scrotum, I ordered several of them and put several packets of seeds inside to "Infuse".

I am unsure whether this will work out but what the hell. The Clever Men within Aussie indigenous traditional groups can do some amazing things.

Postcript: I will keep you posted!

ok , very cool

second though.. who the hell makes those pouches? very insane, we don't have stuff like that in the US, well not that I know of anyways

third, if he says the kangaroo sack is all potent with male energy, what's that do in general to people who use those pouches you have there? maybe that's not good to be putting things in that pouch???

ok, I still have to say, who the hell makes pouches from kangaroo sacks?? just seems messed up? also did the man say it was ok that the pouch was in this form ( being cleaned and all that shit ? he didn't mean go kill a kangaroo and then right there throw the seeds in??? just making sure )


very interested to see how these turn out.. wonder if it doesn't happen, what the guy has to say about that



sorry one other.. if this dude is so "wise" and you know... do you ask him on other stuff about growing in general? maybe if I can ask something if you can ask him next time you see him??? could you ask him his thoughts, if any plant is better then another. I would be very interested to see what he has to say on that as in a whole / general and what his response is.. if not, I understand

my GF just got done reading many many books on song lines, and the aborigines.. so this is very interesting, thanks for sharing

Check this guys - http://www.australiagift.com/scrotum_shop/

The meat is eaten here in Australia and is sold in all major retail outlets across the country. The hide and scrotum is simply added value to that of the meat - which is also used for dog food by the way. Tanned roo scrotum have been sold for over a century, both as a functional money purse, but primarily as a novelty.
There are licensed hunters who go out under Government supervision to cull out large herds of kangaroos that are over-eating scarce natural vegetation. It is either shoot and eat them, or they starve themselves during the drought.

the fact that your day to day life may somehow include the phrase 'I went to a friend and ordered several kangaroo scrotums' is equal parts WTF and awesome.

kudos.

PS - if this ends with Koala ovaries, that's well into double bonus points territory.

Tamuddie and the Lucky Scrotum Pouch

Tamuddie was tracking a goanna through the bush when he came across an injured kangaroo. It had been speared in the shoulder. The kangaroo was Tamuddies totem, so by the law of his tribe his duty was to help the injured animal. He carried the roo back to his campsite, removed the spear, and gave him some water to drink.

For two days Tamuddie kept watch over the kangaroo, bathing his wound and feeding him. Eventually Tamuddie had to go and find food for himself. It was several hours before he returned with a fat goanna to cook. On his return he found only the burnt remains of his friend. Tribesmen had been and feasted upon the kangaroo while he was away. He looked in the ashes at the charred remains and noticed that a piece of the kangaroo had not been burnt nor eaten and that was the scrotum. Tamuddie cut it away, made a pouch out of it, and tied it around his neck.

On the way to his tribe he was stopped by men of another tribe. They argued over the kangaroo and one of the men threw a spear at Tamuddie, but the spear fell to the ground. This frightened the tribesmen and they ran from him screaming he was a demon.

When Tamuddie returned to his people he told them of the kangaroo and of the spear. An elder approached him with a knife and took his arm. Tamuddie grit his teeth knowing the elder was about to cut him, but as the elder drew the knife across Tamuddies arm it did not cut. The elder looked strangely at Tamuddie for a few moments then said that because he had looked after the kangaroo, the pouch would bring him luck. The elder then declared to all the tribes people that Tamuddie would join with the elders. Tamuddie wore the pouch for many years and for many years it brought him luck.

Another Legend says:

Once upon a time there lived in the center of Australia an aboriginal boy. One day he came upon a small kangaroo in the bush, caught it by the tail, and made a purse out of its dear little symbol of masculinity. He gave it to his girl, and she kept seeds and berries in it.

Next he saw a large kangaroo. He caught it with a spear and made another purse from its thick symbol of masculinity. He gave it to his farther who kept stones and things of value in it.

Ever since then, male kangaroo scrotum purses have been popular amongst the aborigines. For women, the soft playable one; for men the strong, wrinkled one.
They became as important as one's own symbol of masculinity and were recognized as the brining luck items. That's why kangaroo scrotum purse is often called as "Lucky Bag" or "Lucky Pouch"
