Simple Way to Make Herbal Tinctures
During the recent new moon, I decided to prepare chaga mushroom and wormwood tinctures, powerful healing and cleansing herbal extracts. I wanted to share with you how simple it is to make tinctures at home using any of your favorite herbs (fresh, dried, or powdered). 🌱🎨✨
Here is one simple way to do it:
Chop up fresh or dried herbs (roots and barks might be a bit more difficult to chop so just do your best and don’t worry about the size of the pieces).
If you would like, start your herbal extraction during the new or full moon to take advantage of the moon’s power.
Place your herbs into a glass jar and pour 40% vodka, rum, or brandy over the herbs so that the alcohol covers them completely.
Close the jar and shake it every day to help the healing components…

Daily Words of the Buddha for March 12, 2018
Sabbapāpassa akaraṇaṃ,
kusalassa upasampadā,
sacittapariyodapanaṃ —
etaṃ buddhāna sāsanaṃ.
To avoid all evil,
to cultivate good,
and to purify one’s mind —
this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Card of the Day – Queen of Pentacles – Monday, March 12, 2018
It has only been two days since we have seen the King of Pentacles, and it is nice to see this energy coming back around by way of his equal vibration, the Queen of Pentacles. This is a very grounded energy, and likely a very necessary one at this time with which to approach any matters before you.
The Queen of Pentacles is much more than a grounded individual; she is extremely practical, incredibly budget savvy, and an incredible nurturer. She could be the Mom trying to hold down three jobs just to put food on the table and a roof over her loved ones’ heads. You know, I have to say this, because I hear from so many of you, and I am still appalled that, in this world of such advanced technology and other breakthroughs, that a woman could be homeless and living in her car. Yes, even…

Yassa selūpamaṃ cittaṃ, ṭhitaṃ nānupakampati,

Yassevaṃ bhāvitaṃ cittaṃ,

Whose mind is like rock, steady, unmoved,
dispassionate for things that spark passion,
unangered by things that spark anger:
When one’s mind is developed like this,
from where can there come suffering & stress?

Card of the Day – 8 of Swords – Sunday, March 11, 2018
Well, hello there, 8 of Swords, it has been a while since we have seen you! This card held the record for such a long time, having the most frequent appearances here on the blog; finally, we can see that things are changing. That powerless feeling to which you succumbed for so long is shifting now, and while you have already seen things change, there has still been a thing or two which haunted you.
You are breaking out, you are finding solutions, and, while you may not see the results today, your time is coming. Either your hands, or those of someone else, have been tied up until now, but all of that is changing. Whatever it is that has had you feeling trapped for so very long is about to change. Do not be afraid to think outside of the box in order to come up with the…

Capricorn Devil Moon weekend Astrology
We’re down to earth and devilish this weekend as the Moon is in CAPRICORN
The weekend’s planets caution that feelings will be rather inhibited and stone cold sober so that control can be maintained. This could be a good thing after the PISCES overwhelm.
There will be some challenges and obstacles as the Capricorn Moon makes hard aspects- squares
to VENUS in ARIES- in women’s independence relationships values and money
to MERCURY in ARIES- in cutting off people’s words; in spontaneous communications.
The CAPRICIOUS MOON conjuncts its father- SATURN-its ruling planet.
in the TAROT Capricorn is associated with the Card #15 The DEVIL
The Tarot of Jean Dodal
originals (Paris c. 1701) preserved in the French National Library and restoration
The DEVIL is very misunderstood. Yes you can start playing Sympathy for the DEVIL now by the Rolling Stones.

Card of the Day – King of Pentacles – Saturday, March 10, 2018
The King of Pentacles is a great card to have any day of the week, but, today being Saturday, he is more representative of the ultimate Dad. Whether this is you, male or female, or a Father figure in your life, this guy is a true provider. You do not need to be rich to be a King of Pentacles, but practicality and earthiness tend to be his strongest suits. He is a nurturer and cares for those he loves, not just in the financial realm.
Today is a good day to do things which help you assert your power, not over another, but on your own behalf. The King of Pentacles is the King of his castle, and concerns himself with the household budget and whether or not there is a little nest egg set aside for a rainy day. You may be spending today paying bills to keep…

Daily Words of the Buddha for March 10, 2018
Pāpañce puriso kayirā,

Na tamhi chandaṃ kayirātha,
dukkho pāpassa uccayo.
Should a person commit evil,
let one not do it again and again.
Let one not find pleasure therein,
for painful is the accumulation of evil.

Vegan Foodstyles: Wild Mushroom Ragú with Creamy Polenta
Creamy polenta is topped with a wild mushroom that’s ragú cooked up in an herbed red wine tomato sauce to make this irresistible vegan bowl of coziness! The perfect meal for a chilly fall evening. My mom’s side of the family is Italian. I went vegetarian at thirteen. This could be really good or really bad. On a good day growing up, there were personal lasagnas loaded with veggies, or even my very own batch of eggplant meatballs. On a bad day, it meant the meatballs (and not the eggplant kind) were cooked in the sauce, and me dining on plain noodles. […]

Asian Garlic Tofu
Asian Garlic Tofu cooks up crispy with tons of salty, sweet, and spicy flavor. Serve with broccoli and rice for a fantastically delicious vegetarian meal. My daughter has been a vegetarian for 2 years. Or maybe it has been 3 years. I can’t even remember. Every now and then I like to share some of her favorite things to eat like Orange Cauliflower and Vegetarian BBQ Nachos. She doesn’t like beans so tofu is a major source of protein for her. I actually really like to cook with tofu and eat it as well. I love that it […]

seeing the rise and fall of things

Card of the Day – The Magician – Friday, March 9, 2018
Look at you! The appearance of the Magician card always serves to bolster your power. This is power of your own doing, in that you are the creator of what it is you desire. By utilizing all that is before you, you could very well feel as though you have pulled a rabbit out of your hat.
There is much to be done over these next few months, and you are being called upon to step into your power in order to create the changes necessary so as to arrive at whatever this late May/early June thing entails. Believe in yourself and if you do not feel you have everything you need, know that the information and the ability to learn it is right at your fingertips. What you are in the process of creating now is almost entirely up to you.
See you here tomorrow!
