Middle Ground Spaces
If you’ve been following along for any length of time, you might have figured out that I really enjoy learning new things. You might also have figured out that if there’s a workshop or webinar in the herbal, witchy, astrological, or zero waste spaces, I’m likely to be there (so long as there’s a free…

March 2023 Free Learning
I love learning. I love workshops and classes and books and documentaries. I love learning things I didn’t know before. I also am pretty hermit-like and the internet is where I do most people-y things. This month is crazy busy with opportunities for learning and all of them have a free option (I’m a frugal…

Resource Review: Herb Magic In Ireland
The Irish Pagan School is a very interesting spot – I’ve done a number of their free courses, follow the YouTube channel, the Facebook group etc. It’s a very worthwhile follow – they share a lot of great information. I also follow Tara Tine’s YouTube channel. Really fun and interesting stuff all around. When the…

Resource Review: The Herbal Academy, The Foraging Course
I’ve taken several courses with The Herbal Academy now. I may review the other courses and intensives at some point but for right now, I want to focus on their Foraging Course. I love being able to go out into the woods and come home with dinner (or at least part of dinner). I can’t…

It’s one of my favorite times of year. First – you cannot beat fall weather. Where I am, it isn’t going to feel much like fall this weekend, but you can’t fault a warm snap too much. I’m going to take the warmth to harvest my first ever marshmallow root. I say marshmallow and I’ll…

Greening Clean
The movement to green up the cleaning industry is excellent and awesome and really out of reach for a lot of people. When your budget is tight and stretched to near breaking, you can’t afford to care what kind of containers things come in or what the parent companies of the brands are doing to…

Not Enough Hours in a Day
I need days to have more hours! I’m in the process of finishing up a book I’ve been poking at for about three years, including the year or so I lost to medical crap and it’s hard to step away and do other stuff when I’m so very close to finally seeing it’s end. And…

Book Review: The Healing Garden by Juliet Blankespoor
This is not a witchy book but a planty book so I’m not running it on my normal Tuesday. I have more than enough of those books to review – I’ve read an awful lot over the last 30 years or so. This is a different kind of book and I am so very glad…
