Hello World...

You may have noticed there was no posting for last Tuesday. This is because I repeatedly tried to log into blogspot.com and it appeared to be down. So I said to myself, "what the heck. I'll just give it a few days."

And here we are a week later.

There isn't much new to report except...

The Ostara issue of Magickal Ink will be out soon...
Charlene's Crystal Nature website appears to be up and running...
The store's website, hopefully, will be up and running soon...

We're going to be featuring new herbs in the store including Job's Tears, Buckthorn Bark, Cascara Sagrada, Anise Seed (oddly enough *not* the same thing as Star Anise), Osha (Bear Root), Agrimony and Chicory. Oh wait. Or did I get the chicory for the coffee? Hmm. It's in Cunningham's Encyclopedia so I guess we'll bag it.

This weekend I was finally able to obtain some round, handheld drums. They're made of, I believe, a maple hoop with cow rawhide. They have tremendously good tone. And we will be able to get more if we need to!

We're going to be offering a Wicca Year and a Day class. Ed is taking registrations for this now (454 0187).

Rasa is offering an Intro to Tarot Class. It will be running Saturdays in March starting on the 10th. Call the store for details.

Fireside is this coming Friday. Dorothy Forster will be facilitating and the topic is, to paraphrase "if you go about magick dumbly, you will end up doing dumb magick". Or something to that effect. Sorry, I'm still a little tired from the weekend. Anyway, Fireside should be a thought provoking, good natured time.
