Any suggestions for the first Herbalism blog post??? |
Like the idea of common and garden first rather than alphabetical. Alphabetical reads like an encyclopaedia, but by order of use reads like a guidebook. |
Herbs that grow in the wild that we sometimes consider weeds, such as some of those listed here: http://ecosalon.com/edible-medicinal-backyard-weeds-plants/ Although, it is important to note that many edible and medicinal weeds have a look-alike that is poisonous. For example, the entire stinging nettle plant has many edible uses. Plus it works well as a dye. Yet, it has a twin, which is called bull nettle. The root of bull nettle is edible, but other parts of the plant are poisonous. |
FYI stinging nettle seeds are quite tasty. They have a nutlike flavor. To catch them before the plant pops the seeds everywhere, put fishnet hose over them to catch the seeds. |
Very emotionally dark piece finished just now. it seems to be more of a rant at present. |
I have always had a very strong interest in Botany and am wondering what peoples opinions are of me possibly adding a herbalism section to The Modern Day Witch blog??? |
Finally! the first update in a while! I've added a new entry to my book, "Invalid Item" : "Invalid Entry" |
I’ve once again recovered the laptop after Bradley helped me clean. I shall be continuing to update the blog once it has updated! The main sabbat has passed now but I will still be including this sabbat in the blog updates. Along with Samhain |
Hi Guys, im back. Sorry ive been gone so long. ive been dealing with some pretty stressful stuff at home. It's getting better now. However sadly I will not be able to continue with the blog as my membership has expired. Hopefully someday soon ill be able to afford a new premium. but until then, ill be back to reviewing in the evenings. |
Happy Lammas everyone! |
I've added a new entry to my book, "Invalid Item" : "Invalid Entry" For all those who were especially interested in the meditation uses of the various crystals. I had many messages on the use of crystals in meditation. These stones are especially useful and can be an excellent addition to anyone's crystal collection. This month I received a beautiful Carnelian thumb stone in a beautiful orange/red hue. |
It is not the same, but I had a large curved piece of flint, which was sharpened on one side. It was once used by indigenous people to scrape hides. It had a thumb indention from what I assume was a man who used it, due to the thumb size. I also had a mortar, which is a small bowl to smash herbs and spices, which was also used by indigenous people. Both were found on my father's property along with several arrow heads. |
