Magic Chant for Protection
gaiasgifts:
Goddess, Give me protection from the outside world, Let whatever people say about me not hurt, Let whatever I fear not bother me, Let all the mixed up feelings inside be released without harm, Goddess, you see my pain, I am thy child, I am thy soul, I need a dream to cast away this pain, Something to soothe my soul, Give me protection from the outside world.
I'd like to welcome our newest member, Nichtus:)
Yours,
Amanda

A Good Sunburn/Bug-bite Remedy
Ingredients:
Ground Lavender
Aloe Vera gel (fresh is best, but any will do)
Baking Soda
The amounts are extremely easy to play around with, depending on how much remedy is needed. For about a cup of baking soda, use 1/4 of lavender and as much aloe as desired.
Steep the lavender in hot water, just enough to cover all the herb! Add the aloe gel to the liquid, and then add baking soda. Add as...

Go to the beach just after high tide. Write it, in one line, on a strip of paper (I find that parchment works best, hope that tip helps.) in black ink. Kneeling at the water’s edge burn the paper and cast the ashes into the retreating sea.

the cauldron with warmed beeswax or the drippings of another black candle so
that it will not tip over.
Fill the cauldron to the rim with fresh water, without...
