Rusty Cauldron

Hi Tylluan Breathing fresh air into the cauldron might be hard for just one person, but I'm willing to try. I would need the support of an IT person, because I have few technical skills. What I believe is that there's too much lore and wisdom on this site to be lost, giving rise to a dearth of indep...

May I add my thanks to all those who have posted here in the past. Much of the advice was helpful to this solitary eclectic witch. Perhaps we can touch spirits again via Hedgewitchery on Facebook...

OK, I know that it's common for many pagans in my part of the UK (South) to rush off to Avebury Stone Circle or Stonehenge to celebrate Litha, but I'd like to share an alternative. I go to a local moot, which has no more than 5-6 people at best and none of us wanted to join the cast of thousands in ...

Hi Everyone So here we are - spring bank holiday and half term (for me) and, true to form, the weather turns cold and rainy. So, I thought I'd prepare a few jars of a warming mix for the remainder of the year. It's a salve, with a beeswax/sunflower oil base and the main ingredients are ginger + cale...

Hi Hazel Of course, I send all prayers to the Goddess for your husband's injury to resolve itself and for your concerns to be relieved. My opinion is that scans of any type are usually prudent, if only to dispel your fears of something worse. Is your husband's leg in a cast? If not, I'd suggest a po...

Hi Tylluan Magical herb use - part 3. As I prepare a new batch of comfrey & plantain salve for 2014 (very good for muscular aches and pains), here is a tip for those who do not make that many herbal remedies from scratch. My tip is that you should use as many herbs as possible to leaven the effe...

Hi Tylluan Magical herb use - part 2. It's now a bit wintry and we're coming up to Yule so I thought that I'd brew up (is that really the word?) a few jars of calendula (dried marigold) salve for the winter months. Calendula or a calendula/chamomile mix is really, really good for rashes or chapped s...

Hi Tylluan Can I add a herb to your list? Having been on a recent herbal healing workshop that concentrated on salves, creams and the like, I've become a fan of ginger root for healing purposes. If you make up a salve of ginger, black mustard seeds, cloves, peppermint, chilli powder and rosemary, it...

Hi Hazel Thanks for your advice - this is what I did for the pagan with MS. I wrote him a long letter, pointing out that while I couldn't cure his MS, it was possible to improve the mobility side. I supplied him with a chunk of faceted, rough green calcite and asked him to use it over the heart chak...

Hi Hazel I have a couple of sticky questions for your guidance. Mainly, I use crystals and herbal remedies for healing. Now, I've been asked to help a person with the mobility problems arising from his ongoing MS (not try and cure him completely, but improve his balance and circulation) and also hel...
