013: SQUIRREL FOOD

🐿️ Scroll of the Verdant Feast — A Blessing for Squirrels and Backyard Kindred

“Let no branch go unblessed, no paw go unfed — for in the gardens between worlds, kindness is currency.”

✨ Origin Seed

This blend was first crafted by a solitary herbalist who watched the same squirrel visit every morning at dawn. Over the seasons, she perfected a recipe — balanced in fats, fiber, seeds, and joy — to nourish not just the squirrel, but bluejays, chipmunks, and the occasional wandering possum. It is a sacred ration, disguised as a snack, whispered through acorns and carried by wind.

🌰 Sacred Ingredient Blend

• Steel-Cut Oats: Complex carbs, fiber (¼ cup)
• Sunflower Seeds (unsalted): Healthy fats + vitamin E (2 tbsp)
• Pumpkin Seeds: Protein, zinc, magnesium (1 tbsp)
• Walnuts (chopped): Omega-3s + brain support (1 tbsp)
• Dried Blueberries or Cranberries (unsweetened): Antioxidants (1 tbsp)
• Unsweetened Coconut Flakes: Extra fats + flavor (1 tsp)
• Optional: Crushed whole grain crackers or bits of birdseed

Preparation: Mix dry. Store in airtight container. Offer small amounts on tree stumps, squirrel tables, or wide dishes in view of branches and sky.
