Hi Sharon, glad you found us!! I recently discovered this path myself. when reading I found that I, too, had been living a life of magic and didn't realize it. I found myself often in the books I'm reading. My daughter and hubby are also learning, so I'm not alone. around here in the hills, doors are often painted "haint blue" a magical color to ward off evil spirits and ghosts. again, glad you found us, there are no accidents I think, so I believe you are here for a reason.
Beth, that is so cool about your sister!!! I love willow trees, always have. I only have maples in my yard at the moment, but I love all trees, need to look up Rowan and see if I can grow it here. I don't have a lot of plants growing yet. want to plant medicinal and magical herbs, might have to wait until next year though. we are still figuring out where things will grow and such here, having moved here in the fall.
blessings to all my witchy farmgirl friends. Hugs Phyllis |

I am working on revamping the front garden. It has been sadly neglected, I can't blame the previous owner, we llived here for since '93. When we first moved in we cleaned up and kept it neat, with 20 overgrown rodidendrons and 10 azala bushes, I used a chainsaw. Now the rodies all look like trees, even my DH can walk under them and he's 6'3", but the azala's are 4' tall and have shades out everything else. So now its almost like starting from scrach, so I can do it my way.
Phyllis, my DH has been watching me study and is rolling his eyes, but the funny thing is that two years ago he bought me little cauldren, we saw it, he said it was something that I needed since I cook in cast iron. What would I do with that little thing but he insisted so home it came. Out of the cupboard, and onto the counter.

Phyllis, Rowan is also called Mountain Ash. I really wish they grew where I live. Sharon the cauldren sounds cool. I would love to find a small cast iron cauldren. Do you remember what sort of store you were in when you found it?

Hi Beth, I had a feeling that if you couldn't grow Rowan in Texas, the Tenn. was out of the question. lOL. I was right, it said that Rowan doesn't tolerate heat, boy howdy, neither of us can say it doesn't get hot where we are. LOL. You might want to look in an antique shop or thrift store, I have seen a couple here anyhow. I inherited one from my Mom in law.
Sharon, it's great that your hubby found you a cauldron. he might be rolling his eyes, but at least he isn't fighting you about your beliefs. maybe he just isn't into study. LOL.
Take care ya'll. hugs Phyllis |

What is the significance of a blue front door?
I am gonna have to paint my door now.
The landlord is probably not gonna be happy about it. lol

Around here everyone paints their door red. I think it has to do with Feng Shue bringing prosperity.
I have yet to hear about the Blue door. Does it matter what shade?

Hi Heide, Sorry it's been a while since I've been on here. My workload has just about doubled in size, so I spend a lot of time working instead of reading wonderful websites and blogs. I thought I better check here.... and catch up.
I LOVE your altars. I am like you because I am interested in all sorts of religions and how they work and what saints/dieties et cetera are used. What a fascinating life you have led so far!! I'm so envious, I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to New Orleans. I think I mentioned I'm learning and working with Hoodoo and I just LOVE it. And I know that is very prominent there. But I'm also learning about some of the Hindu gods and goddesses, and just bought a beautiful statue of the white Tara, who I believe is a Tibetan goddess. Anyway, I sure enjoyed reading about your altars and your travels! Awesome and thank you so much for sharing.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Carol

Hi ya'll, hattah, the blue is the color of protection. the "haint" blue color that folks use to protect the home and keep spirits out is a kinda light blue with a hint of periwinkle. My door is currently green, so I have to get out the paint brush too. LOL. sorry I didn't answer sooner. was celebrating my 35th wedding anniversary, and didn't get online for a day or two.
good to see everyone. hugs Phyllis |

Happy anniversary Phyllis! Congrats! 35 years is a big deal. I hope you had a great celebration.
Does anyone know any "witchy" ways to bless a wedding/anniversary union?

I wanted to share pics of two of my alters. One is from my bedroom
The second is from my meditation room
I know the other pics were posted a while back but I finally got to taking the pictures.
Blessings,
