Wyld Magik
Just a couple of things you really need to know. I'm a girl, 19, 20 in June. I'm a green witch (don't know what that is? ask) NOT wiccan, there is a difference. I'm Bi. If any of these things really bother you then you really should not follow me. They are a part of me and I don't hide them. I don't take my cues from TV shows on how to behave. Honestly I hardly watch any TV. I'm to busy living life to bother watching others pretend to. I am me. I speak my mind. When I love, I love with all my heart. I protect my friends and those I love.
As for following back. No, I do not always follow back. If I see something on your blog that catches my eye, chances are I will follow you. Please feel free to ask me to look. Oh an no I don't bite so feel free to leave a message.

mothernaturenetwork: Who knew mint had so many uses? naturalpath: Mint This week we harvested some of the seven kinds of mint we started growing this year. It has been great to learn the subtle and not so subtle differences between chocolate, orange, and apple mint, as well as spearmint, peppermint, sweet mint and mint julip. Medicinally mint has all kinds of great uses - it’s good for colds, repels insects, acts as an astringent in tinctures and a stimulant aromatic. We dried what we harvested so that we will have readily available tea in the winter. In the meantime, I’m sure we’ll have plenty more mint grow back - it loves Georgia clay and sun. We planted most of ours in a shady area of our yard to control it. Mint is famous for taking over wherever it’s planted.

herbalhealing: Calendula (Calendula officinalis) Calendula is a wonder herb that produces a beautiful flower that exudes sunshine and joy.  To harvest this highly resinous flower, pick it at its peak on a warm summer day.  When making medicine with calendula, it’s almost always dried first.  Drying calendula for oils decreases the water content, making a more stable oil, and it also concentrates the resins in the plant. When making a tincture of  calendula, a higher-proof alcohol will extract more of the resins.  Calendula will grow readily in your garden, often self-seeding after the first year of planting.  By snipping the flowers regularly, you promote its growth. Calendula has an affinity to encourage connective tissue to regenerate, therefore it can be made into oils and salves and used for a variety of skin conditions including: Rashes Burns Scars Scrapes Varicose veins Broken capillaries Chicken Pox Fungal infections like athlete’s foot Internally it can be used to treat swollen lymph glands and soothe ulcers You can also spread the fresh petals over your salads for added color and beauty This is a must have herb for any budding herbalist (pun intended).  Shortly I will be posting a how-to for making calendula-infused oils and salves, which are like nature’s Neosporin!  Smooth on some calendula salve and your skin problems will be solved in no time!
