herbalism

i LOVE this collage, it perfectly represents the idea from the reality and how everyones perceptions are different! i'd been in florida for a couple of years and a group of us were driving back from a healing group and i said did y'all see the ad in horizons (a great magazine available online! www.horizonsmagazine.com/ ) about the herbalism course and they all said yeah i wanna take that. so there were 5 of us who signed up as a group. it just felt right.
well imagine my surprise like soooo many things when i started taking this 30 hour certification course. to me an herbalist was the magical mysterious person who know how to use plants in these metaphysical  airy fairy kinda ways...............lmao of course the reality is an herbalist uses plants to help balance or heal themselves and others. i figured out real quick i was taking a refresher course in the home remedies i grew up seeing my grandmothers use. so much for my high falluten notions!

someone watching over me

it was obviously another lifetime. i was a child my mother was taking me on a journey to see my grandmother, we traveled through thewoods and got to her village which was surrounded by water the bridge was out so we jumped rocks to get there. my grandmother sent me in the house and there was a young girl with a hood over her face who wanted me to come play. she was VERY persuasive but i was uneasy. she cajoled and tempted but i refused. then i became suspicious and grabbed her i ripped the hood off her head and screamed for my grandmother. i asked her if she knew this child. all the while she was shrieking and writhing trying to escape. my grandmother told her evil was not welcome and got this blue paint and smeared it all over her head. then she told me now i'd always recognize evil when i saw it and walked away leaving me to deal with the girl. i carried her out onto the porch and threw her off into a mudpuddle the paint began to move and change making a pattern on her head and face. she tried to come back up the steps and i told her she could NOT enter that evil was barred from my property. she began to hiss and jump around very angry, then i told her to begone and she disappeared.
i went in the house and fell asleep tierd after the battle when i awoke (in the dream) i was the current me but still in the past. i walked out into the woods and found my grandmother by a stream. she was fishing with "SPIRIT" in total bliss. i told her i was ready to go to school (meaning to learn) now and i thanked her for protecting and watching over me.

loo rye aye

i had a wonderful dream/vision  i was in ireland a woman/witch started to sing in a pub she was singing come on eileen but suddenly everyone around me was in a trance........she noticed i was "immune" and said really did you think such a silly song by a band no one heard of was NOT a spell. lolol then she began to show me the nuances of how to make any rythmic phrase a spell. VERY powerful and ya know what it's true! try it and see

Poor old Jonny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
He moved a million hearts in mono
Out mothers moved sing along, who would blame them
Now you're grown (so grown up)
So grown (so grown up) now I must say more than ever
Toora loora torra loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, Oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

These people 'round here
With their beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us, (no never) no not us (no never)
We are far to young and clever
Come on Eileen
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
I've been on this toon forever

Come on Eileen well I swear (what he means)
Ah come on lets take off everything
That pretty red dress, oh Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah come on lets, ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen toora ta loo rye aye
Come on Eleen toora ta loo rye aye
Torra torra ta loo rye
Oh Eileen
I said come on Eileen
Oh come on Eileen
We are far to young and clever, and things wont ever change
I said
Toora loora toora loo rye aye

Sung in backround
Come on Eileen toora ta loo rye aye
Come on Eleen toora ta loo rye aye
Torra torra ta loo rye

Come on Eileen oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything to me
Oh to me, Oh Eileen
You mean everything
