Evening All,
Howās everyoneās book reading coming along? Iām on Chpt 5 so far on mine and taking notes, notes, notesā¦
Thereās a lot of good information in this book.
Happy Reading!
Thank you, @Jewitch! Looks like @Amethyst came to the rescue (thanks Kasie! ) The suggested format is exactly that- just a suggestion or guideline! You are very welcome to write as much or as little as you like about whatever aspects of the book resonate (or didnāt resonate) with you Happy reading- hope you had a terrific Tuesday too!
Thatās so exciting you are enjoying your book so much, @Rowan! It sounds like it is a great resource. Canāt wait to hear your thoughts on Candle Magic for Beginners!
Ahhhh I admit reading has been a struggle for me lately- things have been pretty busy here with work and school! Weāve got a bit more than a week left in this session- Iāll try to dig deeper into Studies in Astrology over the next few days
How is everyone elsesā reading coming along? Enjoying your books I hope?
Pretty good! Iām enjoying my book, even though I wonāt use most of it. LOL. Still itās got some great information. Iām looking forward to what you report on yours!
Youāre welcome! I saved that down as a template so I can add stuff to that as I read.
I like my book, itās got a lot of hoodoo practices in it. But thereās a mention of a different Wiccan Rede that Iām used to and Iām still trying to research it to see if I can find the whole thing. I think I may have to give up on googling and look through some of my books. Weāll see how that goes.
I have made it to the first 2 pages of the book from the reporters perspective of the author that was murdered. She was from Truro, MA which is the lower Cape & at least an hour away from me. Iām hoping to have some time today to really get into reading some more, but my time management skills seem to be waning & I have been really involved with the resin crafting & trying to find cabochons to learn wire wrapping. Iām going to the Stone Store in my town to try to find some nice stones that I can learn wrapping with.
I feel like I rambled too much, so I am going to go now.
Wow- it sounds fascinating! If Google doesnāt have what youāre searching for, then it must be somewhat secret (or rare) information. I hope you are able to learn more, Kasie! Enjoy
No worries about rambling, Krissie! Itās fun to hear what you are up to I hope you enjoy the Stone Store and have some time to dig deeper into your book- it really sounds interesting!
To tell the truth I think itās something that this author wrote herself, which is why Iām going to look through one of her other books. Still, itās interesting!
I didnāt make it there yesterday @BryWisteria , but Iām hoping to today. I also got some cabochon molds so I can make things to work with. Iām pretty excited about those coming. I got a box to keep my wires in & some totes for the resin working. The things were kind of spreading out across my kitchen. I have to keep them somewhat organized or I will go crazy.
I hope you find what it is that she wrote @Amethyst, thatās very interesting
Me too! Itās got to do with self defense and the Wiccan Rede. It makes sense but I only got a snippet of it, I want to read the whole thing, you know?
That would make it a bit harder to find if itās something she createdā¦ but self defense sounds really neat- I hope youāre able to learn more about it!
Youāve got so many fun crafts and projects going on, Krissie I hope you had fun if you were able to make it the stone shop. Enjoy!
I made it to the Stone Store & left with 3 pairs of earrings and about 5 or 6 stones to learn how to wire wrap. Then I forgot, I got a rock tumbler! & once they are tumbled I can wire wrap those stones too! It will be tigerās eye, aventurine, hematite, jasper(s), rose quartz, or clear quartz.
Once my husband builds my craft room I will be able to put the tumbler down there & just let it go for the length of time that it needs to be tumbled. Itās kind of loud to have on while you sleep, so I turned it off last night when I went to bed & then back on this morning when I woke up.
I have a smaller one that I got for Peanut, because ya knowā¦ mini meā¦ whatās mine is hers but we put itā¦ somewhere safe & it was tough to work with after the first time so I got a better 1 that she helps me with doing. She does most of it & I kind of supervise. So some of the stones will go to her but the bulk of them will be for wire wrapping.
They get polished in the tumbler, with a foam & gentle grit. So you leave them in there with a couple drops of mineral oil in the tumbler & they get buffed and polished. Right now they are on the 1st grit that takes down the rough edges & smooths them out. There are 4 stages of tumbling. Each one about a week. So it takes about a month for the final product to be done right.
