If things go right I will be moving to Georgia at...
Which means I will be doing several giveaways over the next month or two to cut down on my extras and my books so I don’t have to drag this stuff 17 hours in a junky U-Haul.
I am hoping this goes through.

shelleysjellybelly asked: Those pictures you posted are so awesome. I wanted to just walk right in. I may take some time later and meditate to do that. I am from rural Nebraska and I live on a farm. We have a creek that runs through our pasture and I spend a lot of time there. It is a very spiritual place for me and I go there to reconnect with Mother Earth. I have been able to lately because of snow. Thank you for sharing...

My Rune Oil (tutorial+image heavy)
You can pretty much apply this method to any herbal oil you make. If you don’t have a butter warmer (I got two of them for 8 dollars free shipping on ebay) I will tell you how you can convert this method to your oven, or eliminate the heating step all together.
Part of my husband’s Valentine’s Day present was a set of Ogham staves (he’s very Celtic in his descent). They...

Garden and Farm Almanac
I rarely make book reading recommendations, and my book reviews are basically information as in if you see it and think about picking it up, here are some thoughts on it already.
However, if you buy any book this year, spend the dollar or two and pick one of these up. I literally pay a dollar for these and I get them every year.
Any earth based Neo-Pagan religion can find it’s roots...

ISBN: 08754205084
List Price: $19.95
Cross-posted on Amazon.
Many years ago, this was my first book I read on the subject. Back when Cunningham was first writing his books, we also had Buckland. Since then, the sources of reliable and credible information for those who are forced to learn on their own to start (or just the simply curious) has grown tremendously. This book is what it is....

I’ll let her off easy on the “witches do not believe in Satan” bit because this waswritten in an era when most witches were trying to distance themselves from Satanists. What with the Satanic Panic going on in...
