Arnica {Arnica montana}

Arnica has been an important topical healing herb since the 15th century. It is a member of the large and varied Asteraceae, or Composite family, along with sunflowers, daisies, lettuce, and chicory. This perennial herb originated in the mountains of Europe and Siberia and is now widely cultivated in North America.

The plant’s genus name derives from arna, Greek for “lamb,” because of the soft, fleecy hair on its green leaves. It reaches an average height of one to two feet and produces daisy-like yellow-orange flowers that begin to bloom in May.

Healing Properties

Arnica’s flower heads, either fresh or dried, are the base of creams, salves, ointments, liniments, or tinctures that are applied to the skin to treat muscle aches, sprains, strains, and bruises. Arnica can also be useful in treating superficial phlebitis, inflamed insect bites, and swelling from broken bones. There…

The Real Reason You Can’t Stand Clutter, Explained

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

It bifurcates our attention.

When I’m feeling crazy, I find that an organizational frenzy calms my mind. The more cluttered my mind, the more peace I feel when my environment is harmonious. I feel less stressed when I pick up, clean off, put away (neatly), and get rid of what’s no longer necessary—in the trash, the recycling, or a donation box.  […]

The 10 Stages Of Enlightenment, Explained

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Awakened souls tend to attract each other immediately. It’s easier for them to recognize the vibration of each other during encounters. If you’re one of these awakened individuals, you quickly notice other awakened souls almost in all places. Some are fully awakened, while others are just starting their own awakening process. When you notice that others are struggling with their own process, it is your duty to guide them through it.  […]

Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms. In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing adult tissues. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all the specialized cells—ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm (see induced pluripotent stem cells)—but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin, or intestinal tissues.

11.11.2017 – Saturn, Uranus and The Moon form an exact Grand Fire Trine at 25 Sagittarius – Aries – Leo. This is an alignment that will have a strong, planet-wide effect and its ramifications will carry through for decades afterwards.

What this means is that – right here – right now – you are being tested, shown and asked to choose what path you will follow. Where do you stand in this incredibly creative, destructive, alchemical and transformational time on this planet?

This has brought out some incredibly erratic behavior, but ones which reveal the truth of a person´s being. And how they choose to respond to differences in perspectives, choices and paths.

The last time Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius trined each other in this way was in the first half of 1928 – and that too, with a 7 degree buffer. It was not an exact…

Danielle Prohom Olson's avatarGather Victoria

Tis the season for harvesting that super nutritious and medicinal powerhouse—dandelion root! According to herbalist Susun Weed, dandelion roots are best harvested in late fall when they are sweetest and highest in medicinal potency.

10 Signs You’re Half-Assing Your Pagan Ritual

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

John Halstead's avatarNaturalistic Paganism

I have been fortunate to have attended some great Pagan rituals.  But, gods know, I have suffered through a lot more rituals that were just terrible. A lot of you probably know what I’m talking about.

I know fellow-Patheos blogger, UU minister and Wiccan priestess, Rev. Catharine Clarenbach knows what I am talking about.  She has written about the contrast between the her own Pagan practice and some CUUPS rituals she had attended, which she describes as “tepid at best, and disorganized and appropriative at worst”, and which, she says, don’t get any more powerful than “writing wishes on flash paper and lighting them from the chalice or, at best, an eight-inch cauldron”. I don’t mean to pick on CUUPS rituals. I find this mediocrity to be endemic to public Pagan rituals of all types.

For a long while, I have believed that this was due to a lack…

Medicinal Mushrooms

Jillian Carnrick's avatarThe Dancing Herbalist

Medicinal mushrooms can make a huge impact on your energy levels and ability to cope with stressors. Many also have amazing benefits to cure long standing illnesses and some of the more pervasive cancers. The three that I use most frequently are reishi, cordyceps, and maitake.

reishi

Reishi

This is a mushroom you may have already heard of. It is quite common in the united states and you may see it when you are out hiking in the woods. It has a very unique shape and is dark red with a lighter exposed edge.

Reishi is primarily used to support the immune system, activating our natural killer T cells to fight off infections more easily. During the winter months it is great to be taking reishi regularly to help your body fight off any pathogens that come your way. With the immune support, your body has more energy to support its…

A Personal Evocation

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

O Great Creator, I come before you in a humble manner and offer you this sacred pipe. With tears in my eyes and an ancient song from my heart I pray. To the four powers of Creation, To the Grandfather Sun, To the Grandmother Moon, To the Mother Earth, And to my ancestors. I pray for my relations in Nature, All those who walk, crawl, fly, and swim, Seen and unseen, To the good spirits that exist in every part of Creation. I ask that you bless our elders and children, families, and friends, and the brothers and sisters who are in prison. I pray for the ones who are sick on drugs and alcohol and for those who are now homeless and forlorn. I also pray for peace among the four races of humankind.

May there be good health and healing for this Earth,
May there be Beauty above me, May there be Beauty below me,
May there be Beauty in me, May there be Beauty all around me.
I ask that this world be filled with Peace, Love, and Beauty.

Scientists Discover Biophotons In The Brain That Could Hint Our Consciousness is Directly Linked to Light!

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Scientists found that neurons in mammalian brains were capable of producing photons of light, or “Biophotons”! The photons, strangely enough, appear within the visible spectrum. They range from near-infrared through violet, or between 200 and 1,300 nanometers. Scientists have an exciting suspicion that our brain’s neurons might be able to communicate through light. They suspect that our brain might […]
