Tylluan, ..a New Moon individual and a Full Moon individual as well ... The Birch Tree is your main tree and the Fir is your secondary tree. There really is a lot involved isn't there. I might just have to print this off to read through it, I tend to find it easier that way sometimes. ;) Many thanks...

Hi Tylluan,

I confess I was a little confused. I didn't realise there was a main and a secondary! Thanks for clarifying for me.

In St Justin jewellery listing my birth month is January (11th) and the rune is Alder - tenacity and determination, oracular, to protect and be protected.

Many thanks for posting about Blodeuwedd. Fascinating reading about her in more detail.

Hi again Southernwood, How's the wand coming along? I saw this thread and it reminded me of a plectrum I have been given. Someone I know had a few wooden plectrums, and they are SO tactile I could not put it down. So he gave me one to take home. Its beautiful and sits on my altar when not being used...

Hi, I've never actually made my own incense, but would love some tips on how to do this! I use incense sticks, cones and the stuff you get in jars and use with an incense disc. When I light my disc I tend to use my cooker hob, it lights quicker, does its sparkly burning, then sits non-smoking ready ...

Hi Southernwood,

I too like to make things myself where I can, but am aware of my limitations and sometimes things just have to be made by others! Keep going with the wand though, that certainly sounds achievable. Let us know how you get on.

Blessings,
Arablue.
