I would add to this sewing and textiles like knitting and weaving, spinning, crochet, embroidery.
I have not said that I am yet doing all of this but I want to.
I am making cordials and liqueurs. OK. Only one, so far. But it is good.
I can say that I see this as a sort of reclamation of self, but honestly do not know why I have developed these interests. I am not the least reactionary or in any way traditional a person or in my values.
Yet, I am yearning for traditions as a way to define myself, those same ones that I rejected long ago.
I will now go back and finish reading the posts.
