Oh that's cool, I didn't know you could set up email notifications. I'll have to play around with features a bit more. That could be handy.

Did covid kind of put a damper on your meetings or just life in general if you don't mind me asking?

Same, and I totally get it. I used to go all out for most of the sabbats but now it's usually just very small subtle things like making a particular celebratory meal and then having some time to myself to reflect on the meaning of the day and ect.

I always have appreciated the small things but especially as the years go on it is in fact those small gestures, experiences, and trinkets that really give me fulfillment on a spiritual level. I only actually do maybe a handful of actual workings a year. I haven't cast circle in I can't remember how long but, to be honest, that was never a huge part of my practice at anyrate. At least not a highly ceremonial one.

More so it's just grounding, mediation and/or visualization, carrying around and holding corresponding stones or herbs as needed and things of the like. I did finally get around to setting up an official altar in the bedroom which is nice.

Eventually though, I do want to get more into working with herbs and just green and kitchen witchery. We moved into a house a couple years ago and we've so much land now. We planted an orchard and I did so some spellwork for that and we've also plans for gardening it's just finding the time to actually do all the things.

I've always fancied and done a little bit of such things but I mean I really want to dive in as a sort of specialty if you will, in more detail then knowing just a bit more than the basics. Which requires time for studying and experimenting. I want to fill books with my own recipes for herbal remedies and just general cooking magic and as well as my own tips and experiences with growing and harvesting. I suspect it will be a slow process though. Work and life has just been too crazy the last few years. Ah well, it's my goal and something to look forward too.

What type of jewelry do you have that you treasure, again if you don't mind sharing?

I see so many pretties that I like and admire but if I'm honest with myself I know I don't need to spend money on anything b/c I rarely wear jewelry lol. I do too though have a few pieces I will wear that are touchstone pieces so to speak and when I need a certain energy or want to celebrate.
