The sign-ups for Llewellyn Con 2026 are up if you’re interested! Authors include Deborah Blake, Emrys Abner, Mark Lagenfeld, Deborah Greer, and Laura Temple Zakroff. This is a Free Event!
Also, y’all were interested in the 12 Birth Trees, so I give you The 12 Birth Month Herbs.
Oh, and this is for everyone, but I figured @SuckOnMySunshine would be the most interested! Swamp Sorcery: Folk Magic from America’s Southern Wetlands by Mystic Dylan and WH Kemp.
Enjoy y’all!
Terrific Tuesday Amethyst,
Thank-you, yep, I signed up.
Lady Gene 
Thanks for the 12 Birth Month Herbs. I’ve bookmarked it.
October is catnip, I love it! 
Can’t believe it’s already time for Lewellyn Con! I rarely remember to make it to their virtual events, but I do love to get the free decal sticker they send out 
And they usually have some great giveaways to enter too!
Thank you so much for the heads up, Amethyst! 
I want to sign up, but I may miss it. I want to figure out if they’ll have a recording! Glad you liked the idea!
You’re welcome! Mine was fennel. Blech. LOL!
You’re welcome! I figured a lot of people here would like to sign up for some of these!
Ah but swallowtail butterflies lay their eggs on it, it’s a host plant
Thanks @Amethyst! I signed up for LlwellynCon! I just found them earlier this week and ordered a few (shhhh 7) books! Hahaha!
Also, I love that my birth herb is sage. Somehow that feels right. Thank you!
I love the Birth Month Herbs!
January is Peppermint - Revitalization, fresh starts, clarity I’ll take it with gratitude. 
I’ll head over to their main page and see what’s going on this year. Thanks for this, @Amethyst !
what’s this now? The sign up for what?
And thank you for thinking of me! I added it to my cart!
Very cool, then! I just am not fond of the taste.
Enjoy your books and have fun! And yay for the sage! That’s a lovely herb!
You’re welcome! I hope have fun!
You’re welcome! I thought you’d like that book!
Thanks for the info, all signed up! Also love the 12 trees, thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy the con!
Ouuuu I got basil for my birth month herb!
In my area, basil is very protective if planted out in front of your home. Its kind of like how if you plant rosemary, you can utilize it as a protection ward, same with basil, at least that’s what I’ve heard locally.
Iits also delicious on homemade from scratch pizza, which I’m a huge fan of, but haven’t mastered yet! (My dough keeps coming out dense, but I will never give up!) 
I have an easy pizza dough that’s made with, like, baking soda and not yeast. I’ll try to find it and put it up. Maybe that would be easier for you. Yeast is fussy.
@Amethyst thank you for sharing. I am so far
December
An Elder Tree Spirt it. This tree is very powerful bridge and boundary between the hedge and our world. If anyone has this tree if I may advise that if you wish to cut it back or take a branch it is very important to ask permission from The Elder-Mother as in English/Scottish Forklore if you cut or burn 
without permission then ill-luck will be bestowed. The correct way to ask is:-
“Elder-Mother give me some of thy wood and I will give thee some of mine when I grow into a tree”
Basil Herb - Abundance, Love, Luck. I am so happy that I am a Basil as I eat fresh basil every week and have a plant in my kitchen. I toast a brown wholemeal crusty roll, then add fresh vine tomatoes, feta cheese, Basil pesto, oregano, fresh basil leaves and olive oil. It is simply, pack full of flavour and a taste of sunshine and the Mediterranean.
With Love & Light 
You’re welcome! Lovely plants you have there! Basil tastes better than fennel. LOL!
@Amethyst ah but fennel has lots good health benefits lots of vitamins and minerals that you cannot get from others Vitamin K bone health, just for an example
I can’t get past the taste of it, though, and the price. It’s hard to find in Walmart around here.
