I knoooow. I usually buy two of the au monthlies for that reason.

That would be cool :)

I love that book. It has the best cookies and bread. My mum gave me her copy a while ago.

Hello. Does anyone know of a coven I could visit in either Arkansas or Missouri?

Welcome. I'm not sure of any that side of the world but fingers crossed someone here will know more than me.

Thank you. But that serious sucks. Why must I be stuck in Catholic land! Dang you Bible belt!

I can see why that's a real pain. 'hugs'

Thank you. At the very least, I can search around the internet for information.

True. Problem is many covens , especially in that area keep to themselves for their own personal safety. But good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for :)

Thanks. I can't wait to move off to college, maybe I'll have more luck in missouri then here in Arkansas.

Fingers crossed. College towns are usually a little more open minded :)

Yeah. And I can't wait! My college is Awesome! They have the oldest Journalism school in America! When I get done there, I can go and get a connection to any network! Any where!

Wow ^_^ Lucky :D
You'll do great I'm sure.

I know! This is going to be so much fun!

Thank you for the good thoughts, and I hope your right about the Pagan Union.

Thank you!

I'm glad things are going well around here hehe :)

On the subject of colour my room has always been painted blue as it helps with my asthma.

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.

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.

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.
