Wow! I absolutely loved this video when I came across it and at the time had no idea of the connection to Meeks book Vokhtah…You must check out those books I am reading the Miira series and finding it an excellent read and am on the second one which is equally a fascinating read…
Huge thanks to Carol from Carol Cooks 2 for her wonderful post on all things ‘soap’. One of the fascinating titbits in her post was this video about soap in the desert:
Why am I so chuffed to discover the Yucca root soap?
Because in Vokhtah [book 2], I mention something called ‘soapweed’. It’s a root that’s used for washing when water and sand are not enough. Discovering that there really is such a root is fantastic. -dance-
And as an added extra, the yucca grows in a dry, arid environment, which is almost exactly like Vokhtah. Simply could not get better. 🙂
cheers,
Meeks

I enjoyed the video! I had no idea the yucca had so many uses. There are a lot of plants that contain saponins, including soybeans! However, I’ve never seen anyone use them as such!

And when I left your post it reminded me as to why I like blogging / such artistic variety from bloggers
