Elderflower

Jillian Carnrick's avatarThe Dancing Herbalist

Elder is such a beautiful plant and so versatile as medicine. Sambucus nigra, is a large shrub that grows to between 5-10 feet and in the spring has lovely white flowers that grow in clusters at the end of branches. Each of these flowers turns into a little berry which can be used as medicine as well. When wildcrafting, birds usually get to the berries before us so if you want to get the berries tie a little cheese cloth around the flower clusters before they go to fruit to try to keep out some birds.

*Elder branches have been used to make Pan-pipes and other simple flutes*

Flowers are much easier to collect than the berries because we like the flowers, and so do the bees, but other animals do not. You want to collect the flowers when about 70% of the flowers are open in a cluster…

trishlee75's avatarCook Plant Meditate

Some people like to buy pre-made graham cracker pie crust but this recipe from Amelia is so good and so easy to make that, once you’ve had it, you’ll never buy pre-made again.  This has been my go-to recipe for years and there is never a shortage of compliments on how good it is.

Just a little warning – don’t sample the crust before it makes it into the pan because you will end up eating the whole crust with a spoon.

Amelia’s Awesome Graham Cracker Pie Crust

1 1/4 cups (1 1/2 packages or 27 squares) graham crackers
3 Tablespoons sugar
6 Tablespoons melted buter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Select pan you want to make crust in.  Using a food processor or a large Ziploc bag and rolling pin, crush graham crackers into crumbs.  In a medium sized bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and sugar until well combined…

An altar dedicated to the sea is a great way to connect and honor to it especially if you’re landlocked; but you might ask yourself: “How do I make one?” Well, you’d make it like you’d make any altar but you are going to need certain things to make it. Don’t worry, I’ll include where to find the items listed.

    You can make full moon water from the comfort of your home.

Card of the Day – 5 of Swords – Friday, March 2, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

After yesterday’s Full Moon in Virgo, I do feel the need to mention the combative energy of this card. You know how I always caution against fighting at the time of a Full Moon. Not engaging in the fight, or any type of altercation, can be in your best interest, for sometimes the victory may only be temporary.

The very battle in which you are engaged can be one which comes from within your soul. Yesterday, we saw the Devil card, and everyone has some form of demon they wish to conquer, and, today you may find you can successfully do so. I do not feel this is a win-at-all-costs vibe, because it serves you no long-term purpose at this time, and your ability to overcome something and achieve a victory for yourself, is one which you hope to do for the long haul. Take whatever victory comes your way…

#♈ARIES
You can be very creative with this energy, or coming up with money making ideas. Or finding unusual ways to get your way. You can be creative on ways to save money or even help your money situation grow. You can be awfully bashful around your crush, or you can be more concern about what others think of you

#♉TAURUS
You need to allow others to come to their own conclusion, or you may have to be open to a new way of thinking or doing things. You can be receiving great advice from those who have been there and don’t that. It’s advice that you listen to what they say. So you don’t repeat their mistakes

Pāli Word a Day for March 01, 2018 — nirodha — the cessation

Hitānukampī sambuddho
yadaññamanusāsati,
anurodhavirodhehi

When the Buddha teaches others
he does so out of compassion,
because the Tathagata is wholly freed
from both favour and aversion.

Card of the Day – The Devil – Thursday, March 1, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Full Moon blessings to all! Today is the first of two Full Moons this month (welcome to March, by the way), this one being in the sign of Virgo. Considering that Full Moons themselves represent cycles, culminations, and especially letting go, this seems to be the perfect card for this time. Our actions and choices have consequences, and the blame can not be placed upon another, rather, it lies within our ability to choose and understand cause and effect.

In some ways, I feel as though this could go both ways today. Full Moons can cause us to succumb to the temptations we struggle with in life, whether it be drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, or technological devices. But, we also have the ability right now to let go and break free, and something tells me that the events happening now represent that for each of you, what you are breaking…

5 Universal Traits Of A Mature Soul

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The immature Soul is always full of desires. It has ambitions and objectives it intends to achieve, whether these ambitions are of the lowest order (money, power) or of the most sophisticated ones (religious devotion, spiritual self-implementation). Reaching these goals always requires time, so future is always important for the immature Soul.  […]

It would be nice if there were a rule book on intimacy … some kind of a guide that would tell you when you’ve crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming … and I don’t know how you fit it on a map.  You take it (intimacy) where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can.  And … as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something that you have to define for yourself.

Card of the Day – Ace of Pentacles – Tuesday, February 27, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Woohoo! Another Ace! The Ace of Pentacles is basically the wish card of manifestation, and this can include, but is not limited to, your finances and your career. The Universe is offering you a unique opportunity, in spite of any thing else which may be occurring in your world.

First, you must know that you have created this. Divine Intervention has not been merely plopped in your lap; you earned it. While there may be some parts of life which feel as though they are falling away, or evolving into something different, this is indeed a sign that the road ahead will be a blessed one.

See you here tomorrow!

Card of the Day – The Hermit – Monday, February 26, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Today, you could indeed reach a very important goal. I often see the Hermit as the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. He guides you through life’s darkest times, and, eventually, yes, you do emerge from the tunnel, back into the light of day.

Whatever place you find yourself arriving today, do try to take a few moments for yourself. Where the High Priestess is indicative of listening to your inner voice, the Hermit asks that you make a little alone time today, allowing for some quiet introspection. You are being guided, and it is not likely that it is to where you thought you were going. Trust in the process and know that the Universe will lead you through this.

See you here tomorrow!
