Learning Lunar
The Full Moon How exciting to be three issues into our Learning Lunar column and already able to wax lyrical (pun intended) about the full moon! Lúnasa 2023 falls on August 1st which, this year, is also a full moon. Lúnasa, or Lughnasadh, is an Irish festival co-opted by many Pagan traditions as a time of harvest celebration, games, competitions, and other summer festivities. Another popular celebration held at this time is Lammas, the Anglo-Saxon early Christian festival of blessing the first fruits and loaves of the seasons. Having the full moon to add to these blessings can only add to their fruitfulness! What Does the Phrase…

Jade Reviews The Healing Lamp From Conscious Items
Product Review Store: Conscious Items Product: The Healing Lamp Retail Price: $49.99 Conscious Items sent us their “Healing Lamp” to review. It is absolutely adorable. They have a wonderful description of the item on their site that includes a very extensive list of Clear Quartz properties. I think this stone is probably the best choice for a lamp, as it helps and heals with so many different things. Because the stone is not permanently attached to the lamp, it does offer the option of changing out the crystals if you wanted to focus on one thing specifically, which I think was smart. With the use of Clear Quartz however,…

Living the Oily Life
Peppermint Peppermint oil is another favorite of mine for many reasons. It is also recommended as another oil for those starting to dabble in essential oils. I have peppermint in my own garden, but be warned it will grow wherever unless the roots are somehow restricted. I planted mine in pots and put the pots in the ground. Granted it smells amazing when grass is being cut and a few stray tendrils are ran over. Mint plants in general are fairly hardy and are perennials so once rooted they will keep coming back. Peppermint has a very long history, like 1000 BC long history. It was noted to be…
