2015 Lunar Calendar Cards Are Here!

We have the 2015 Lunar Calendar Cards from Snake and Snake Productions in stock now!  (This image is of the 2014 card, but you get the idea.)  These cards are my favorite lunar calendar, actually based on the lunar rhythm new moon to full moon and to new moon again.  I often recommend them to women for tracking their menstrual and fertility cycles.  Farmers and gardeners use them to follow planting seeds, pruning and harvesting by the moon cycle.  They are a quick reference for timing of important events and celebrations.  8 1/2" x 11" folded in half, they are also easy to carry with you in your journal, pack or briefcase.  And only $2.50!

Herbs for Smudging

Herbs for Smudging

For thousands of years, people all over the world have burned herbs and resins to purify themselves, their homes, and their sacred places, and their ceremonies.  The native peoples of North, Central and South America have long burned certain herbs and plants for this purpose, and we call this “smudging”.

In this class, we will discuss different herbs used in smudging, and what their specific uses and energies are.  We will talk about the tools used in smudging, and we will smudge one another.  Sarah will teach how to tie a smudge stick, and each participant will tie one of their own.

The cost for this class is $20, and includes all materials needed to tie one smudge stick.  Class will be held at Radiance, 9 W Grant St, Lancaster.   Call 717-290-1517, or stop in to register.
