Everything Under the Moon

Hello! I don't quite know the technical term for what's basically a cold-brewed decoction. But this is fantastic for mild anxiety, sleep issues, and anything where you should be calm but aren't. Even without sweetener, the taste is sweet and floral. Disclaimer: Ask your doctor before ingesting valer...

Well, I haven't been Wiccan for quite some time, but I do know that you don't have to harm someone to address the problems they are causing. Any spells to speed Karma, "see the error of your ways", or "whatever you do comes back to you" will do the trick. I believe that if you us...

Hello! I hope everyone is having a lovely day. I've noticed that I'll associate a specific card with a specific person, and that this association has a tendency to warp my readings. Does anyone else do this, or have that problem? (Example: The Rider-Waite Smith Knight of Swords makes me think of my ...

I've learned more than I thought I would from this thread. I came out the womb a Hello Kitty fan. Her face seems so peaceful. In all seriousness, I could benefit from a thicker skin and a better knowledge of when to exit a bad situation. There's nasty people everywhere. (Hopefully they stay out of t...

My first foray into Paganism was through Wicca- I did alright until my mother found out and tried to convince me that the Goddess was actually someone else and that I'd die a terrible death. This is obviously false. Yikes, Ma. Personally, I agree with intheflatfield. This is your journey, don't let ...

I'm married to a Pisces, so I'll drop my two cents here. There are very few signs that have the same level of generosity as the dear fishes, and it can be really hard to understand. Anyone that isn't willing to try will just take it for granted. Somehow my poor husband managed to marry a Gemini (me!...

Hello! I may ramble for a bit, but I hope I make sense! And please, please don't start any fights about this topic. Please, take a deep breath before you even read this. I've seen lesser posts on EUTM start nasty fights and get folks banned and feelings hurt. Currently, I'm just a secular witch with...

Nazis. White supremacists claiming to worship deities that would put a boot up their racist butt the instant they met. Open communities being guarded by gatekeepers that judge based on race such as "oh you can't worship him you're not white." Buddy what the heck

Hello! Finally able to reply because I've got pictures now. We had a quick wedding, and are planning a nicer vow ceremony. (Army life... everything happens by someone else's watch.) So only one good picture! Had to fight for it, too. http://i66.tinypic.com/16869om.png He is pretty pagan-friendly! He...

I meant to do an update! All of your advice was spot-on, and what I really needed, even if I didn't reply. (Curse you, procrastination!) Not a week after I posted this, my best friend introduced me properly to a friend of his. (I'd met him before, but not that well.) We hit it off instantly! Now? I'...

This is so cliche, I know, but last year, from september to december, I spent the majority of my time with a guy I thought was absolutely amazing. He was sweet, he was understanding, among many other things. I'd been lonely for a long time and he was everything I'd ever wanted, which wasn't much. Th...

Thank you so much! That's all super useful, and I didn't think of some of it. Especially when it comes to gathering herbs.

Hello all! Yesterday, a dear friend of mine called me, and told me that a friend of his was looking to commission me for a written primer on green witchcraft. As I've been practicing for 8 years, I've got a good bit of knowledge rolling around in my head. I'm keeping it as impartial and practical as...

Oh wow, I must have been looking in the wrong place for research. Thank you so much!

I've got this plant all over my backyard, it has heart-shaped leaves and the blooms are these long, white hanging stalks. It's called Hoja Santa, and it's in the same family as Kava, and the plant that peppercorns come from. I know it doesn't have any medicinal properties, but I was wondering about ...
