This weekend we attended the second edition of L’Homme Sauvage festival, in the French region of Occitania. We never thought it would be possible, but this edition was even better than the first one. Everything seemed to collide perfectly: the people, the performances, the location, and a feeling that gave cohesion to it all, orchestrated… Continue Reading →
I finally returned from the fourth edition of the Viridis Genii Symposium, which took place in the Pack Forest in Eatonville, Washington, and it has been a hectic, impressive, and life-changing experience. I had the chance to travel to a completely new place by myself, I met amazing and like-minded people, and I learned a… Continue Reading →
Existence often ignores our personal agenda. The events that take place in our lives make us collapse and we feel like everything prevents us from moving forward as we had previously planned. Our life and our path are subject to that of others and to those things that we do not expect, to the Inevitable.… Continue Reading →
On September 29th we started a journey to L’Homme Sauvage festival, held in the small town of Aspet, in the French Pyrenees. As we have mentioned several times, Occvlta is now established in the Catalan Pyrenees, an area called Pallars Sobirà, so it was really easy to get there, just needing to cross one mountain… Continue Reading →

Due to logistical problems, the release of the collection is postponed, but at least we can give you a… Continue Reading →
It has been long since we last wrote an article for the blog. If you are familiar with our Instagram, you will be aware that we have moved to the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and so, that we now live in the Catalan Pyrenees. To us, that change is meditated, and the reasons… Continue Reading →
White bryony (Brionia Dioica) is also known as False Mandrake, English Mandrake, or Devil’s Turnip. In the past, Bryony was falsely sold as mandrake in some areas during the Middle Ages. Its roots, purgative and toxic, which can cause nausea and vomits if ingested, were carved and moulded into human shape by ludicrous merchants. In the… Continue Reading →
We have already spoken about dangers in the Path of Poisons, the implications of Fear, the threat of Addiction, etc. all of those topics which, it was concluded, were caused by great degree of misinformation and lack of real or deep contact with nature dwelling spirits. Now, something that comes up to mind is the existence of… Continue Reading →
The Path Envenomed, what we call metzineria or ponzoñería in our mother tongues is, as its own name states, a Path, and so it implies some degree of movement ‑may it be up or down, forwards or backwards. But, as many other paths, it must be must stride carefully. Metzineria is not only about plants but… Continue Reading →
