Drying herbs and flowers may or may not be something of interest. Here are some tips for those who are looking to dry their own harvests and gatherings.
Air Drying:
Air drying typically works best with herbs that are low moisture like rosemary, oregano, dill, lavender, etc.
Herbs like mint, basil, chive, are best put into an oven or dehydrator.
Be sure to trim them at a slight angle so the center of the plant is protected while drying.
Gather together a decent sized bundle. Anywhere between 7-10 branches/sprigs, typically, and tie them off with string or a rubber band even. The smaller the bundle, the faster they’ll dry.
Hang the bundle, stem-side up towards the ceiling, for about a week or so. The cooler and darker the place, the better.
Herbs are ready if the leaves/flowers crumble easily.
Harvest Tips:
If you are using the herbs for food, the best time to harvest them is right before the plant begins to flower. You can prolong the harvest by snipping away the flower buds as they appear.
Essential oils are concentrated in the leaves early in the morning before the sun can release them into the air so early morning is the best time to harvest.
Cut away healthy herbs, remove the sickly and dried/wilted leaves, and shoo away insects. Be gentle!
If you rinse the herbs, PAT DRY CAREFULLY!
When it comes to seeds (dill, fennel, etc), place the flower heads (once cleaned from stems) into a paper bag or Tupperware container and have fun shaking!
Oven Drying:
Clean up leaves/seeds/etc and place them onto a cookie sheet (I usually use a shallow one. I believe mine is less than an 1 inch?).
Put herbs in an open oven on low heat – less than 180 degrees F – for 2-4 hours. (I cannot stress the low heat! You WILL burn them otherwise.)
Herbs are ready if the leave crumble easily
More Notes:
Oven drying takes out some of the herbs potency to more will need to be used in cooking which is more than fine.
Store in labeled, dated airtight containers like canning jars, plastic storage containers or freezer storage bags.
For best flavor, keep the leaves whole until you are ready to use them, then crush.
Dried herbs are best used within a year.
White light 🕯
Have you ever just sat and looked at white clover? It's mostly looked upon as a weed, a pest, something in the way. But if you dismiss that kind of thinking and just look at it, it's so beautiful. You can also eat white cover. Did you know that? The leaves and flowers are edible. It's also a medicine. This plant we see as "in the way". It has so much benefit.
Also, clover pumps nitrogen from the air into the soil and so if you grow some in your lawn, it will consistently fertilize and feed your very hungry grass. Amazing companion plant for lawns or even just a patch of ornamental grass. Oh and not to be forgotten, it feeds pollinators and supports beneficial insect life.
I have an idea. Let's stop calling it a weed!
Why You Should Keep Track of the Tarot Cards You Pull
People will often notice patterns to the cards they pull - you’ll notice that certain cards come up more often. This tends to be based on a feeling though, rather than any real data about which cards you’ve pulled - and the real data may surprise you.
I’ve kept track of the cards I’ve pulled in my single card readings over the past three months, and here are some things I’ve noticed:
I pull one card more frequently than any other card. In my case, that card is The Magician. It’s really useful to know - not just suspect - that one card turns up constantly for me.
Some cards don’t actually appear as frequently as I think they do. I recently pulled the Nine of Pentacles and thought, “Again?? Why do I pull this card so much??” but when I look at the actual data… I’ve pulled other cards way more frequently. I think it’s a form of the Baader-Meinhof effect - a card can stick in your brain for some reason and you remember it as appearing more often than it actually does!
There are interesting things about the cards that I don’t pull. In three months, these Major Arcana cards have never come up at all: The Emperor and The Devil. I can look at the data of what archetypes don’t appear in my life and draw some interesting conclusions. I’ve also not drawn a single court card (page, knight, queen, or king) from the suit of swords - swords tend to deal with conflict, which I maybe have less of during this particular time in my life
I can identify which suit and which numbered cards appear the most and the least in my readings. While the totals of Swords, Wands, Cups, and Pentacles I pull are pretty close to even, Wands eke out a little bit higher total than the others. Cups and Pentacles are tied, with Swords coming in last. If I didn’t have this data, I’d probably assume I pull Swords the most - because they leave the biggest impact on me when I do pull them! Of the numbered cards: I pull Aces of any suit the most, and Twos of any suit the least. This makes for some interesting patterns: The Magician is sort of the “Ace” of the Major Arcana, as well. Aces are about a very singular willpower whereas Twos are about partnership and duality. Through this pattern I can identify the focus the cards have on my life at this particular point in time.
I pull Major Arcana cards more than is statistically likely. The Major Arcana makes up 28% of the deck, but 39% of my pulls. The Major Arcana are more associated with long-term messages, and so my life may have more long-term type changes needing to be made during this period.
This is a quick guide to how you might interpret some of the overall themes you notice: Minor Arcana: temporary, easily changed, daily life, current situation Major Arcana: long term, archetypes, themes, life lessons, current lesson Wands: spirituality, inspiration, determination, strength, intuition, creativity, ambition and expansion; energy, motivation and passion. Cups: love, feelings, relationships and connection; emotions, intuition and creativity Swords: action, change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict; thoughts, and words Pentacles: work, business, trade, property, money and other material possessions Aces: new beginnings, news, movement in a positive direction Twos: duality, connection Threes: creation, creativity, growth, action Fours: stability, structure Fives: tension, conflict, challenge Sixes: relaxation, harmony, reevaluation Sevens: mystery, disruption, adjustment Eights: action, movement, growth, change Nines: contemplation, reflection, looking to the next step Tens: conclusion, culmination, new beginnings, complexity Pages: youth, vitality, fascination, learning, and focus Knights: adventure, energy, missions, conviction, willfulness, recklessness Queens: curiosity, openness, expressiveness, creativity, flexibility Kings: authority, leadership, expertise, mastery, inflexibility
Tea/Coffee Readings
How To
You need to find a cup with a wide brim that’s light in colour, find a wide saucer. Pour in lose tea leaves/coffee (you can buy loose tea leaves or rip open a tea bag) into you cup and add boiling water (Do Not add milk) Drink your tea/coffee while thinking about your question, if you dont like tea/coffee take a few sips. When you are finished drinking take the cup in your dominant hand and place your non-dominant handover the top of your cup. Turn the cup tree times in a clockwise direction. Pour any remaining water down the sink. Place the cup upside down on the saucer or a napkin and turn it clockwise three times, turn the cup over look for the leaves that have taken shapes. When you have finished your reading it is customary to turn your cup over, place your index finger on the base of your cup and make a wish
Meanings You can twist and turn the cup for new angles to find symbols in your cup, the closer the symbol is to the rim of the cup the sooner it will happen. the further down the longer it will take, tea reading can only predict up to a year. symbols at the bottom of your cup will take almost a whole year to take effect.

Sally Mann, from Deep South: Landscapes of Louisiana and Mississippi, 1998.
How is everyone doing? Lately, I find myself getting lost in the demands of meeting career and life obligations, while also trying to pretend that everything is “business as usual” in the middle of a pandemic. We may not notice right away, but if we are not careful to respond to our body’s signals, everyday stress can easily turn into chronic stress. Little problems become big problems. Worry turns into anxiety. With so much chaos around us, it is even more important that we all take time to recognize when we need to take a step back and breath. To use a familiar flight analogy, we have to put on our own oxygen mask before assisting others. Helping yourself first is not selfish. It’s making sure that you are well and taken care of so that you can continue to do what you do. This week, I would like to encourage anyone reading this to take a break. Take some time for you. Check in with yourself. What do you need at this time to feel fully supported and safe?

BLACK PEOPLE NEVER STOPPED PRACTICING HOODOO TRADITIONS, PART ONE
That we did is one of the biggest misconceptions that exists about Root Culture aka Black Culture aka HOODOO. In the #HoodooHeritageMonth post about love binding work, I mentioned a period where Black people began throwing at (cursing) one another to survive the times, which were desperate. This gave the words “Hoodoo”, “rootworking” and “conjure” negative associations and turned into the stuff only the ill-intentioned, mean-spirited or downright evil would endeavor. Meanwhile at a time when racism and terrorism were at their heights in the 20th Century, Black churches proliferated, despite horrific attacks against them. Black churches were anchors within Black communities all over the United States. And for many, going to church was more about community than it was about being beholden to a foreign religious indoctrination.
However, most churchgoers were careful about calling what they did to help themselves or others “hoodoo” etc. Instead, they called it “Work”, “The Lawd’s Work”, or “Spirit Work”— if it was called anything at all. What must be understood here is that THE WORK ITSELF NO MATTER WHAT OR HOW IT WAS REFERRED TO DID NOT CHANGE. A more profound example of this is the fact that most men who became preachers were themselves rootdoctors, rootworkers and conjurers of Hoodoo tradition. One such man would found one of the largest Black church denominations in the country. For more information about that, please read Yvonne Chireau’s book Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition.
During slavery, most enslaved were not allowed to read but were exposed to Christianity and if they had access to a Bible, used it as nkisi (“spirit object”, KiKongo). In some instances, Black men were chosen to minister to the slaves by their owners, and taught to read the Bible. Slave church services were often held on Sundays outside on plantation lawns, in full view of whites. Outside of this contrived, performative practice, the slave preacher would gather with his people in secret, and teach them Bible verses to use for spiritual work. Slaves were widely illiterate and therefore had to commit the verses to memory in order to utilize them. The shorter the verses, the easier to commit to memory. I’d like to add here that by and large Christian-leaning Black people who use the Bible for spiritual work utilize the New Testament more than the Old Testament. The emphasis on working Psalms was most likely a by-product of Jewish shop owners (whose own faith does not acknowledge Christ) catering to Black communities during and after the Great Migration. This is not to say that Black people didn’t or do not work with Psalms. We just didn’t use them exclusively or in their entirety as outsiders of Hoodoo like to assume, perpetuate and profit off of to this day. THIS POST TO BE CONTINUED.
