We all know that blissful moment of putting our feet up at the end of a hard day and sipping a hot cup of soothing tea. Relaxing, calming and apparently the answer to every situation “have a cup of tea it will make you feel better”.

February is a month of promises. January is done with and March is on the horizon. Spring isn’t here yet, and often not even any sign of it, but that hint is in the air. February is still all about warming comfort food, but it also includes Imbolc at the beginning of the month. Read more
Every single plant, tree, herb and flower will have its own very individual and unique energy. That energy can be use for magical or medicinal purposes. So you could use the herb, leaves, petals or seeds within your magical workings – magic powders, witches bottles, mojo bags etc or you could use the plant parts in medicinal teas, tinctures or salves. But you can also connect with the plant spirit and use its energies for healing, knowledge or seeking answers to questions. Read more

Frankincense is the scent I associate mostly with Glastonbury. Cinnamon and cloves are the scents of the festive season (my favourite time of the year). Each one individual and unique.
