Chickweed, or Stellaria Media L is well known among a great many herbalists as being a fantastic both for medicinal purposes as well as a nutritional supplement. Flowering form March until the following autumn, it is also quite famed for the fact that it sleeps the "Sleep of Plants." This is an old herbal term for the fact that the leaves shift every night, folding over to cover and protect tender buds and new shoots as though sheltering them in sleep. Chickweed is also often added to salads or added to cooking pots as a delightful spice, and is often compared to spinach in matters of taste and texture, as well as for the nutrients that it provides. Sometimes uncooked leaves are also served with dandelion leaves in salads.

Nutritionally, Chickweed is mineral-rich, containing ascorbic acid, calcium, flavenoids, magnesium, potassium, zinc and numerous other beneficial minerals well known for aiding in achieving a general state of well being. Medically it has been used as an astringent and a diuretic, and is reputed to be quite useful as an expectorant and laxative. In the past, it was also used often for wound treatment. Some studies have also shown that it can be quite useful in treating post partum issues, functioning as a depurative, emmenagogue, and galactogogue.

Folklore: It has been said that there is no place in the world where Chickweed is not to be found. It is a native of all temperate and north Artic regions, and has naturalised itself wherever men have settled.

Money Spell: This may be done at any time, but preferably at the same time each day or night.
You will need a Green Candle and a White Candle.

The Green candle represents the money, and the white candle represents you.
Make sure you anoint the candles with oil first, thinking of your desire for money to come to you. Set the candles on your alter or table 9 inches apart. After doing this say:

"Money, money come to me
In abundance three times three
May I be enriched in the best of ways
Harming none on its way
This I accept, so mote it be
Bring me money three times three!"

Repeat this for nine days.
Each day move the white candle one inch closer to the green candle.
When the candles touch, your spell is finished.
Make sure you visualize the money pouring in from the universe.

There are two new stores that sell things that you use your achivement points to pay for them. I've bought a good deal of the items.

[Gallowsraven]

Then i am heading straight there! Cheers hun.

Yay, just recieved the next study Group email!

[Lunaryon]

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy the stuff.

[Hermes]

GD it XD I'm double Earth sign as it is, then my whole "affinity for plants" thing, and now, one of my two favorite colors, brown, is, cliche as it is, appearing to be an Earth sign XD

I NEED TO BE LESS IN TUNE HAHA

On the other side of things...

I haven't been in here in a while, and I missed it. Not many places I can be witchy around here, as I am SURROUNDED by christian churches, which I do enjoy going to(for those who don't know, I'm a weird mix of all religions. Like america, for religions. I AM AMERICA AND SO CAN YOU!)

Also, I just like chatting with you people. I would hope you think the same of me XD

I got to hold a mini-festival, which was fun. Held a Belegarth tournament, just for the Units here. Mine lost, as we're the smallest, and most-under trained...I'm the only person left of the original group. The rest sold-out, big time, to a different group. Just sayin man. I hate it, so much.

and then I quit Belegarth, because someone who I no longer get along with, at all, has been given charge, and nobody is saying anything about it besides me, and I refuse to do all the work for these people. I decided there was no reason for me to be doing something I don't enjoy AND that costs me money. That's ridiculous.

I picked back up on playing MTG, and have had rather good luck with it, thankfully. I'm really enjoying it again, and have made a lot of friends at the shop I go to, Crazy Squirrel Games, and am just REALLY glad I found that place. It even connected me with an old friend. =)

also, I forgot that I had put myself in the tags here, so when I saw it, I was like "Who put me in the tags? =O" lol

But yeah, uhm...sorry for epic-long-post, I just want to give a quick re-cap of my life recently XD

Oh yeah, school is over, took my last real class on Wednesday, and just took my last "class" today. Now I'm free to....look for work more often XD Still need a job, and I need one badly. I don't wanna live in this house forever, just not cool, y'know? >.<

I started reading more again, some books Batty let me borrow. Black London series. Non-realistic in every way, but still a fun read.

Also, I'm enjoying these Lemonheads Sage sent me. Makin these babies last =)

They appear to fuel my creativity. As I was trying to write this morning, I was eating a few, and I pumped out three pages when I meant to pump out a paragraph or two. YAY CANDY.

Mkay, that's the important stuff recently XD

/end epic-post-of-posty-ness

EDIT: Also, greetings people! If you don't know me yet...get to know me XD I like it.

[Gallowsraven]

Hey Hermes, welcome back then. and the long post's fine, you should see some of the ones i've put up :D

Bad luck with the Belegarth thing. hate it when that happens myself.

and i'm a peacock! Sorry, had to say it. Loving some of this token-stuff.

[Hermes]

I like the belt, and the shirt, but that's because they go with some avatar ideas of mine pretty well. Not a big fan of the big one-piece items, and especially not a big fan of big head items ^^;
