Mother Nature’s Golden Rule

Health is a product of internal harmony and the expression of vitality. Our well-being should be pursued with cautious patience. Tonics are gentle and have been proven effective for thousands of years. They are highly nutritious foods requiring special preparation and application. We should approach these tonics with respect, never abusing their benefits carelessly. Too much of a good thing is still too much! Give your body time to appreciate these new foods, just as you would nurture  a child.

Tonic herbs have several properties and may also be indicated when disease is not present. They are excellent choices for preventative measures. Be sure to use them in moderation and observe how your body reacts to the energy. Allow tonic herbs to keep you young and beautiful like Mother Nature herself.

Lady Abyss’ Green Tip #1

Did you know that Licorice Root is a very nutritive, soothing tonic, beneficial for convalescing and elderly people. The sweet taste comes from fifty molecules of natural sugar abating low blood sugar and low blood pressure. It is helpful for overcoming alcoholic and addictive behavior and builds muscle in children. Licorice root is an intestinal tonic that combines well with marshmallow root. It is not recommended for hypertension.

Oh glorious morning, Spring is in the Air!

Good morning dear friends! Happy Spring to you all! Happy and Blessed Ostara (depending on where you are) to you all!

I must apologize to you for yesterday. I know my postings ended rather abruptly. It was my birthday and he whisked me off for the day. I have to admit it was probably one of the best birthdays I have ever had. We went to all my favorite stores and I purchased a couple of things. Then later on that evening, we went out to eat with all the kids. Surprised me, my son brought both of his little girls. The older one (she is 4) has started to wear glasses. She looked so cute. She won’t have to wear the glasses the rest of her life. My son’s wife told us that she has a stigmatizam (might be spelled wrong) and the glasses should correct it. The baby (almost a year) didn’t give a hoot about anything.  She was passed around from one person to the next and the little devil enjoyed every minute of it. She can have the biggest smile on her face. The next minute, she is picking something up and throwing it or pulling her sister’s hair. I was watching them while we ate supper. When they told one of the kids “no,” they would play at telling them “no.”  Like goofy sounds, then they would say, “no.” To me, that just confused the child. Outside my son’s wife told us that the kids were going to drive her crazy and she was serious too. After my son goes to work, her grandmother comes down to the house to help her take care of the kids??? I don’t get! I would never seriously stand up and tell someone my kids were going to drive me crazy. I believe that is what they have a butt for. I never beat my kids but I did pop their butts and tell them no. And they knew I meant no. I know the oldest child of their was out here at the house. We were sitting in the floor playing and she got up and just slapped me in the face. My daughter told me, she thought I was going to pick her up and bust her butt. I told her, “We were through playing.” got up and went outside to smoke a cigarette. Neither my son or his wife did nothing. But if they don’t start making them mind, they are going to have some wild childs on their hands.

Enough of my birthday festivities, now in celebration of Ostara and Spring Equinox, the Witches are going green for a day.  I haven’t exactly figured out what I am going to put on here but it will be green for sure. I can cover ecology to fairies. I thought it might be something you would like and it would be different. Whether you like it or not, remember it is just for the day. I do hope you enjoy it and find something useful.

Happy & Blessed Ostara! Happy Spring!
