On July 10, 2008, after much earlier deliberation with my board members of the astrological group in which (don't ask) I have been the reluctant "Prez," I called the national group's representative (who happens to over time become a good friend of mine) to tell her that our group is "dis-engaging" from the national one, due to the fact that it has been a total struggle to meet requirements, and it has now gotten so hard to do so that it is just better if we continue our group without the nat... read more

June 21st (Solstice): The "Gates of Summer" (Tarnin Austa) is the Elven Midsummer festival which starts the prior night and anticipates the rising of the Anar, the Sun in the East, who is "steered" in the skies by a fiery Maia (meaning "Beautiful One") named Arien. This year, we are also very lucky to witness at virtually the same time a Full Moon, as well as Elemmirë (Mercury) going direct!

In the Elven stories, the Sun was created by the last fruit from the female Golden Tree named Laure... read more

Now that the weather is warm, I try to get outside as much as possible. Living in Montana USA makes me appreciate the seasons more than ever. Although I was born here (so I have ancestral connection), I was raised in California, and mostly in San Diego!

I have been called by the plants here in my yard to begin making my own line of flower essences. You see, I had always purchased them in the past. I have used flower essences for healing me, my family, and my astrological clients for at lea... read more

May 22nd is Nost-na-Lothion, the Birth of Flowers Festival in the Hidden Elven City of Gondolin:

"[...] In these ways that bitter winter passed, and the snows lay deeper than ever before on the Encircling Hills; yet in its time a spring of wondrous glory melted the skirts of those white mantles and the valley drank the waters and burst into flowers.

"So came and passed with revelry of children the festival of Nost-na-Lothion or the Birth of Flowers, and the hearts of the Gondothlim were... read more

Re: heart (in herbal exchange) Without knowing your problem, I would hesitate to recommend much, and I suggest you see a trained herbalist or other qualified alternative provider. However, I can say that Hawthorn Berries are known as heart "food" and builds that area. However... read more

Re: Curious about hops (in Herbal Medicine) I am sure hops could work, but I would try also raw fenugreek seeds, and (yum) nettle. Careful, fenugreek can make your underarm sweat smell bitter, like the seeds.
