Sunstone's Meanderings: Surprise PBP: Learn Your Poisonous Plants
http://sunstonesmeanderings.blogspot.com/2013/08/surprise-pbp-learn-your-poisonous-plants.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. Surprise PBP: Learn Your Poisonous Plants. This happens to coincide with this week's Pagan Blog Project prompt. Today I was browsing photos at Getty Images for potential BPAL icons when I hit this gem. The plant in the foreground is a species of nightshade. It is poisonous. Turns out that this plant or extracts from it do have useful medicinal properties. Pupil dilation for eye surgeries, for instance), but mashing it up with a mortar and pestle is probably a bad idea.

Thoughts of an Unlikely Dionysian. August 13, 2014. I am retiring this blog. Haven’t written in it in ages, so that’s probably not a surprise. I’ll be leaving it up. I stand by what I’ve written here. (Or most of it. Who hasn’t rethought some of the things they’ve said? I am still me. Still feeling my way along as a devotee of the Theoi, and Dionysos in particular. I just haven’t felt the urge to live this part of my life online. Not in a long while.

Ancestor Stories: A Bad Tempered Man. Asymp; Leave a comment. It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn more frequently to ancestors and family stories and lore. Here is one of mine. This is just far enough South in Illinois that the land is starting to fold. (The flat corn blanketed acres that were formerly seas of grass are farther north). Far enough south that traces of Ozark English can be heard in the local dialect. My grandmother on my dad’s side said. Instead of Wash, and. When my dad (the youn...

Personal Woo – On the Craft of Weland Smith. Asymp; 3 Comments. It is a week before Christmas, and I’m almost *knock on wood* caught up with everything I absolutely, positively must have finished and out the door before the shop closes for the holidays on December 24. I’ve been thinking lately about my craft and art (the one I do for a living at least) and how it intersects with magic, *my* magic, and what that has to do with my Path in general. Here are some snippets of thought –. If my lifeless body we...

Burial of Tools of Art. Asymp; 1 Comment. A few months ago I broke one of my files at work. I wasn’t using it any different than I normally do, and under only a little pressure it snapped in my hand. Around Summer Solstice I took it to a a secluded stream in a local park. I spoke of the file’s importance to me, and stated that I was now consigning it to the land of the dead, to the Under-the-Ground. I tossed the two small piece of steel into the water.

Creek bottom land in early spring. Asymp; Leave a comment. When I was growing up, the strip of land between the neighbor’s wooded ridges and Bishop Creek was plowed and planted with corn or soybeans. a losing endeavor since the creek floods with every extended period of heavy rain.

The Bad Witch Files. 8230; who else is going to tell you these things? About The Bad Witch(s). Songs Of A Year Past. That feeling of a year has come and gone.

The Little bird has built a new nest now and has plans of her own. She ...
