The herb show today was WONDERFUL!! SIL and I walked around and looked at all the different booths and herbs, vegetables and flowers. We picked up some Basil, Chives, Parsley, Peppermint and rosemary. After that we went to Elwood Thompson, the Aquarian Bookstore and Avenue. All in all it was a great day.

I am one happy witch

And talk about fitting for today…

Today’s Pisces Horoscope: Apr 26, 2008
This is a terrific day for you, dear Pisces, and you will find that there is a great deal of power at your disposal. This is a day of new beginnings. You have the opportunity now to start over and create a solid emotional base from which to work. Rid yourself of negative feelings and self-doubt. Use this day as an opportunity to strike out on new ground and achieve whatever you set your heart on

I am one happy witch right now. Tomorrow my SIL is going with me to the Herbs Galore show!! This means I get fresh herbs tomorrow. I is a happy witch. Happy happy happy I get to get some kitcen herbs and some witchy herbs. Yes Definitely a happy witch.

As with any tool some herbs will feel better to use then others. Herbs can be used with insence to burn like on Charcoal. They can be used in Witch Jars, Blessing water, clarity bags. Some herbs are designated for certain things, but as with most things in witchcraft…there’s no set rules defining them. I’ve used fire herbs in blessing water and water herbs in charging a fire spell candle. It’s all in what feels right to you. To start out I went strictly with what they were listed for. But as I go along I’ve adopted a more of the “go with the flow” attitude with herbs. I blame that all on Tara

Herbs can be used to make tinctures and salves. The possibilities are endless. I’m hoping to go to a huge Herb show here in town at the end of April. I want some more of my own herbs to harvest and work with again.
