I have a problem. I had an idea for an online course, based on my books (which are an outgrowth of my passion): teaching medicinal and magical herbalism together. I started writing it and made good progress … something like 70 pages...
Three years ago, I picked up a fungus under the nail of my pinky finger. Don’t ask me how, I don’t know. What kind of fungus? Don’t know and it doesn’t matter. It didn’t bother me unless I looked at it. Then, it did...
I’m going to preface my remarks by warning you: I’ve been a Henriette Kress fan for years and was thrilled to get a sneak peek at her new book. Practical Herbs 2 is as wonderful as Practical Herbs. Down-to-earth advice for a variety...
Warning: may be profanity-laced. I’m irritated. NB: I am not a historian. Just a somewhat-intelligent woman who happens to be a witch. It’s that time of year … the media feels a need to talk to “real” witches...
Lovely wake up … rain soughing on the metal roof while a cold front breezed through the window that made my nose cold while the rest of me was warmly snuggled under the covers. Fresh hot coffee … Maks and Mischa feeling energized...
(No, I’m not high in this photo. I have an overbite. And I forget my tongue sometimes. Wanna make something of it?) Meow. I’m Mischa and I’m hijacking DJ’s blog today to bring something of extreme importance to your...
Solidago nemoralis Well, maybe you’ll sneeze, if you have an allergy to members of the Asteraceae family and you stick your nose right in it. But Ragweed has green flowers with pollen that will float on the slightest of breezes. The pollen...
Hello. My name is DJ and I have a problem. I’m addicted to privacy – especially Internet privacy. I actively dislike sites that offer something free … in exchange for my name and email address. I know if I give out my email...
Today I posted this picture on Facebook: This is the one Calendula in two beds that has bloomed. None of the others have even budded, yet! And as you can see, there’s plenty of room between this one and its neighbor, although I...
Not being able to get out into the garden much due to all the rain has given me a lot of time for reflection. Below is a magazine article I wrote several years ago that shows my ruminations: I live in the woods and frequently have city friends...
I’m stuck inside due to the horrendous rain (which will wash out the July 4th celebrations, too) & the only “garden” I can do anything about is my one indoor herb: Stevia. It’s a rainforest herb … likes lots of...
What a day! I had to go to a couple banks for clients & more importantly, drive 70 miles to the mall to do some shopping. I dislike shopping even more than I dislike cooking so you know it was something I really had to do. (And no...
