Mystical Mundane

O creative Breath, ebbing and flowing through all forms, Free us from all constrictions, so that the current of thy life may move in us without hindrance. Empower us with thy creativity, and clothe us with royal dignity, So that, fully at one with the vortex of thy desire, sacred actions pour forth from us with each breath we release. Renew in us this day our lifebreath, vigour, and passion, And untie the tangled threads of destiny which bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us lose ourselves in distraction, but by the way of the breath, lead us into mindfulness. For from thy depths pour forth the Way, the Life, and the Splendour, from age to age, it is so.

It's kind of strange. I'd been so mad at him lately. Ziggy was a funny cat. Mr. Tough Guy... he would bully our little tabby around mercilessly. Twice our little tabby, Goku, required vet attention for abscesses as a result of the brawls. Goku never won them. It got to the point where Goku spent any inside time hiding in my daughter's room. Outside he was safe, because Ziggy, as tough as he was INSIDE the house, was a nervous wreck outside. He HATED outside. Every once in awhile, he would go out the open patio door on a nice day,but if he saw the door was about to close, he'd run for his dear life back to the door. If by chance he did not notice the door closing, and inadvertently got locked out, WOW. A total freak out session would ensue with him scrambling futilely against the glass... trying to claw his way through the glass sliding door. It was a wee bit funny to watch. Ziggy never bothered our orange cat Harley. Nope. If Ziggy ever got on Harley's nerves, the h...

[gallery] Okay, I couldn't think of a title for my post. I always have a problem with titles. ANYhow.... eoN came over today and we made wreaths for Ostara. I made a lovely pork roast and my super moist banana bread/cake (cream cheese in the batter ooh yum) for dessert. eoN brought eggs and now I have some beautiful Ostara eggs for the altar. (also make good decorations for hanging on trees out in the yard). Oh! And we added to our sabbat tree as well, speaking of trees. Added little blossoms. It was a good day, and now I'm sleepy. Our Society forms should go in at the end of next week. eoN contributed 31.00, and bought some incense today. Im using the money from the incense to go towards the Society as well. Almost all the money we need to get Terra Spirit Pagan Fellowship legal, is in. Im so thankful to those wanting to make this a reality. Our little ritual with hubby, baby and I went well last night and I feel very excited about the season to come.

Today I had fun with herbs :D I  made a wonderful salve for wounds. (some salves, such as those with comfrey or arnica, can not be used on broken skin). This salve has the healing, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-biotical properties of St. John's Wort, Goldenseal, Myrrh,& Plantain. Good to have on hand for cuts, scrapes, anything that breaks the skin.The ingredients have properties which disinfect and help heal. Tomorrow's salve is St.John's & Comfrey for bruises, sprains, superficial burns, blisters, (non broken), mild dermatitis. Comfrey is known to draw out inflammation and St.John's is said to work wonderfully on almost all skin troubles. (of course, if you have allergies to these herbs, don't use them) I got the labels made up today.. typed them out one handed while Demetrio fussed and fidgeted. I sure hope they're ok! lol I also had to make up new business cards with the .com addy and new email. I'm so tired. I think I'm going to have a grano...

Well, after much humming and haw-ing and begging of input from fellow Facebookers, I decided to go with my website format at www.terraspiritessentials.com. I hope that business picks up a bit. I invested so much money into it, money that I should have put into the family. It was my hope however (and still is) that one day this little eStore will help generate a bit of cashflow.It will help when we move away one day to have a product line to sell. And I truly do enjoy making things! [gallery] I have been with Webs.Com for quite some time, back when they were FreeWebs.Com. I had stumbled across them through Facebook and was looking for a site to promote the idea of a Pagan Community in our area. It was easy and cheap (5.00/mnth to remove ads, free if you have a domain name, which I did). I created my husbands site there as well, his is still there and is quite content. After a time however, as FreeWebs grew, I noticed many glitches when editing and downtime, but as I was used to the site...

For quality soaps, home made salves, Surya & Swagat Incense, Beeswax Candles and tumbled stones with personal pouches, check out my new store, Terra Spirit Essentials. I’m having alot of fun making different soaps, SLS free, Goatsmilk, and Glycerine, with some great herbs and essential oils. Earthy Delights, with ground cinnamon and lavender essential oils, with some rosemary, Patchouli & Sweet Orange, done in a goatsmilk base with patchouli and sweet orange essential oil as well as ground patchouli leaf, Honey & Oatmeal is one of my favourites. Good for dry skin AND acne, go figure, lol. I am making massage oils too… Garden Rain, Spice of Life, Patchouli Garden.
