A Whole Bunch of Interesting Stuff

Hey y’all! I’ve saved up a few links, and then I got a whole bunch in yesterday and today, and they’re all stuff I think someone here would like, so I’m just gonna babble on.

First of all, some Green Magic!

5 Easy Spring Simmer Pot Recipes to Naturally Make Your Home Smell Fresh

The 12 Birth Month Trees and Their Meanings—Plus, How to Grow Each One at Home

And staying with the idea of trees:

A lucky ‘metal detectorist’ found the Sheriff of Nottingham’s ring, valued at $11,000

Oh, and Robin of Sherwood, the 1980’s series with Herne the Hunter, is on Tubi! Yay!

Speaking of folklore, I found this channel that gives you information about the real folklore behind the movies. Sinner. The Witch. Red Sonya. It’s really great, called Folklore in Film.

Two shorts I found on YouTube that’ll make you feel better. The first is a five minute breathing meditation.

And then there’s this short. A bunch of street musicians get together to play Vivaldi. So beautiful and so inspiring! You’ll see why.

Then I found these crystal bead bracelets, and when you buy them, money goes to help conservation! You can track wolves, tigers, sharks, and elephants. All sorts of things! They have plushies, too!

Fahlo Bead Bracelet

And finally, it’s Springoween! One of the emails I get is about Halloween all year long, and there are several interesting things for Springoween, including a playlist, Spring Horror movie list, and information about Spring Ghosts!

Spooky Little Halloween - Springoween!

Isn’t it amazing how quickly one builds up links? LOL! I hope you like 'em!

Glad you like! I just tend to collect things that I find interesting. Sometimes, it’s good stuff, and sometimes I’m easily amused.

December: Elder

  • Meaning: Reflection, renewal
  • Natural habitat: Moist soils and field edges
  • How to grow. This fast-growing shrub performs well when planted in the ground or in large containers

I might look for one to grow in a pot and I live in the countryside so it will fit beautifully.

Have you done your Tree? :waxing_crescent_moon::green_heart::deciduous_tree:

Mine was Rowen, or Mountain Ash! A very magical tree. I’d love to grow one, but I have no place for it. Oh well.

That Vivaldi video was amazing!! :smiling_face_with_tear: I believe that music played like this, just for the joy of playing, is magickal! :musical_notes:

My birth tree is the Birch - I planted one in my backyard last summer just because I was so drawn to it. After reading this I know why!

Good stuff. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

That cheered me up after reading some disturbing articles. It was really lovely to see something beautiful out in the world, you know?

Hey, good call on the Birch! I think those trees are beautiful. I planted one when I was younger, but we had to move away, and I think it got cut down. :unamused_face: At least I had one for a while.

Glad you like the weird stuff from my brain!

:open_mouth: This is really amazing! seeing the musicians come together and the response of the people is extraordinary. Got chills watching it, the good kind haha :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Thanks again for sharing :sunflower:

This is so true. You can see the people just sort of live in the music for those few minutes

Yes, and I do believe it’s one of the best things about humans as a species - our music and the gift of sharing it with others.

So far we have Rowen (Mountain Ash), Elder, Grapevine and Birch I think with the other coven members we will have all 12. What a beautiful thought that we are all different but have the same roots.

Shout Out more trees please​:waxing_crescent_moon::deciduous_tree::green_heart:

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

That is a lovely thought! A beautiful grove filled with different trees! :deciduous_tree:

I wish there was a coloring book specifically for all the birth month trees. :tree_of_life: There’s lots of other birth month correspondences but not trees :confused:

Be glad that there are some things I won’t type, even with the blurring feature! Sally and I have already agreed that if we went to school together, the teachers would make us sit on opposite sides of the room!

That would be nice! Maybe look on Etsy? You might find a tree book there and can ask the person who made it about a Birth Month Tree book.

:rofl: I can envision this! My bestie and I still made eye contact and made stupid faces :zany_face: across the room. Never got kicked out of class, though. :innocent:

One of my teachers went up to my Mom at CHURCH and told her how terrible I was. Luckily for me, I complained about this teacher talking down to us and being awful all the time, so Mom just told her to stop treating us like idiots, and maybe we’d listen more. LOL! So yeah. I was not a good student except for Foods, Creative Writing, and Mythology. Go figure!
