TipToeChick's Weedy Wednesday: Lavender

I love me some TipToeChick. Her YouTube videos have changed the Pagan community for the better in my opinion, along with making all of us wish we could find enough Patron bottles to store our magical* herbs in. She is back after a little absence and she began her first "Weedy Wednesday" vlog with one of my favorite herbs: Lavender.

TipToeChick covers using this herb for depression, incense, and even cooking. Check out this series and catch up on previous videos.

Mountain Rose Herbs = Awesome!

I received my order from Mountain Rose Herbs today. Opening the box was like Christmas day, which as a Pagan, may not seem like much. But it was fantastic!

I ordered some Makko powder, Lavender powder, and Hibiscus powder. I also stocked up on some charcoal rounds because I needed them and it saved me going to the health food store where I would have spent a ton of money on other things. I also purchased three different sizes of tins to put my concoctions in. New items are going to be coming soon! Check my Etsy shop for updates by clicking on the Etsy tab above.

Business Success Crystal Grid

I finally established and energized my business crystal grid. My hope is that it will help inspire success for Miach Rhys and allow me to receive some of the abundant blessings the universe has to offer. I settled on Citrine, Carnelian, and Green Aventurine. There is also a little black tourmaline to remove any negativity from my path and all of this energy is coming together and being channeled through an Ametrine generator.

Please excuse the poor lighting. The grid is inside a cabinet to keep little hands away.

Besides having traces of Citrine to tie that element together, I also love Ametrie and felt that I should use it as a reflection of me and my business. It is featured in my Miach Rhys Banner, after all. Then I included one of my new business cards to help focus the energy of the grid further. I am so happy with it and will be spending some time each day feeding the grid by meditating on my desire. I am also going to amp up my marketing and product development to help out on the mundane front.

Review: Hibiscus Moon's Gem Elixir eKit

If you are a frequent visitor to Pagan and Wiccan channels of YouTube then you may have heard of Hibiscus Moon under the screen name of Phanie12. She describes herself as "an author, workshop creatrix, teacher, mystical goddess & crystal junkie who LOVES teaching about crystals." I just like to think of her as a genius.
After being curious about her crystal classes and Crystal Healing Certification Program I pointed my browser to her website and Facebook page. Hibiscus Moon provides incredible learning opportunities on a variety of crystal subjects through both her website and YouTube and it becomes evident that she enjoys every bit of it. How can a guy like me not be swept in by that?

My mind was filled with information about crystals and these things called crystal and gem elixirs. I was able to use the wondrous Google to expand my knowledge on the subject but I knew deep down that I wouldn't have a complete picture of what a gem elixir was until I bought the Gem Elixir eKit. I am so very thankful that I did and I am prepared to share why. By the end you'll want the eKit too.

The eKit doesn't contain chapters and to be honest the thought of not having a table of contents kind of threw me at first. I wondered how someone could fill an ebook with so much information and not have any way to organize the information so that it could be easily found. Then I began to explore through the sections and less than half-way in I realized that a table of contents wasn't necessary. The information was organized in such a way that the topic on one page led or evolved to the information on the subsequent pages.

It wasn't an ebook full of chapters with information on dozens of topics jumbled together. I quickly learned that this was an ebook full of an evolving guide about the subject and the steps involved for planning, developing and using these incredible elixirs. Filled with color photos and more than eight videos on how to make these elixirs, this eKit is more than just a text guide on the process. This kit gets you in to the nitty-gritty so that anyone invested in this process can see how it is done and learn by watching what someone has achieved through their own trial and error. What a treat!

Another treat is the MP3 meditation that can be used to help charge and activate your elixirs to your specific needs. Think of it like focusing on the intent of the elixir and using your own natural energy to carry the purpose into the elixir. Featuring Binaural Beat technology, this MP3 helps listeners using headphones more easily enter an alpha brainwave state which makes the programming that much easier. Best of all, it is easy to listen to and relaxing.
My favorite section had to be the different methods used to amp up crystal and gem elixirs. They can be potent on their own thanks to the vibrational resonance of the crystals, sure, but why not add a little oomph if you can?

There were a handful of easy ways to jumpstart the energy of an elixir giving it far more power and because of that, a greater healing effect for those that use them. On a side note I was also thrilled for an opportunity to purchase a large bottle of vodka because I've been told that I have a baby face. Even as I climb up in years I always get carded for alcohol and since I'm not much of a drinker I always enjoy having people think I'm younger than I am whenever I can. The vodka, in case your wondering, is a way to stabilize the energy so that it can be stored for a much longer period of time. See, I wasn't just bringing up vodka for the heck of it!

Hibiscus Moon is a talented writer and is able to easily deliver information in a way that makes a person forget about the actual learning process and just enjoy the fun in it all. I am excited to try out her recipe for her coveted Negativity Neutralizer Spray and hope to have the final shipment of the needed items within the next few days to get started. I greatly encourage you to check out Hibiscus Moon and everything she has to offer. You will not regret it, I promise.

Elixirs

I had so much fun making Gem Elixirs. It is such an easy process and they really seem to have energy. Just tasting the water that they were sitting in shows that there is something to this. If you would like to purchase one of my specially made Elixirs then go to my Etsy shop.

Or you could just make your own! Hibiscus Moon has a fantastic eKit available that teaches you everything you need to know and gives you recipes? She has compiled a fun and informative guide complete with an MP3 meditation file to allow you to charge your elixirs with as much energy as possible. Click on the badge to learn more.

The finished product. Don't they look awesome?!

Gem Elixir F-U-N!

Hello faithful readers. Blessings to you and yours.
Tonight/this morning I am creating some exciting gem elixirs in accordance with the eKit that I purchased from Hibiscus Moon (see my post previous to this one). I am happy to share this with all of you and will be making a video or two for my YouTube channel. Fun, fun times my new Internet friends.

Stay tuned!

If you are a youtuber you most likely know her as phanie12 AKA Hibiscus Moon AKA The Crystal Goddess. I am going to be recording a video review of her Gem Elixir eKit within the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

Candy, Death, and the great land of Ireland

I just got back from an out of state road trip. Someone in my family passed away after a long illness so I went to attend a funeral and give some support to the rest of my family still in mourning. Death, as Pagans, is a very interesting subject. It is a wondrous thing that calls to each and every one of us and yet we all get closer to that day with a growing amount of trepidation and fear. Death is a natural part of life. The Circle of Life, according to our friends at Disney. No, I really don't have any friends at Disney (call me!).

I stumbled upon sour cherry candies at a dollar store that are kind of like jelly beans but different all at the same time. Then we looked into the genealogy of an adopted ancestor that our family shares and found out some interesting details. First, let me say that adoption must be the hardest thing for many parents to do in order to allow their children to have a better life/future/sense of worth/whatever. But it is really annoying when descendants are trying to do genealogy and hit dead ends because adoption records are sealed. How aggregating!

Anyway, I found out that my great great grandmother and grandfather were born in Ireland. I think this is cool because I have always felt drawn to Ireland and it is part of the reason for my Celtic pantheon leaning. I just thought I would share as I prepare to get some much needed sleep. Peace out!

Etsy is Live!

My Etsy shop is now open for business. I currently only have a couple of incense offerings but I am looking to expand further. I am also researching other packaging options as I seek to expand. This is such an exciting venture to me. I have always wanted to own my own metaphysical store and this will be the first step to making it a reality.

Please head on over and take a look!

Update: Rune Series

Simply put, I have decided to drop the Rune series. I was interested in them in the past and I have a nice bag of Amethyst runes that are rarely used because of my disinterest. When I created this blog I had the intention of discussing things that I enjoyed or found useful. Going with a Rune series seemed an easy way to keep blogging but I came to the realization that if my heart wasn't in it then your hearts wouldn't be in it either.

I have an interest in crystals and herbs and loads of other things. Instead of discussing what I'm not interested in I will be focusing on things that I am. How can I expect to excite a reader if I don't have an interest myself?

I hope all of you understand. There are tons of resources, from books to websites, about Runes and their history. I do encourage you to check them out and see if they're for you. Maybe this will inspire you to do your own blog series about Runes? Maybe? Yes?

Happy Beltane!

That's right folks, those of us in the northern hemisphere are experiencing Beltane!
Grab your buddies and dance the maypole. Just stay away from the Wicker Man if someone ask you to step inside one for a little bit. (:
All jokes aside, have a bonfire and invite some friends over and have a barbeque. Celebrate however you wish as long as you stop long enough to think about the meaning of the day.

Check out TipToeChick's new YouTube video on the subject.
