It's natural, it's gentle, and it works.

Healing is a completely natural process. Effectively, it is a flow of beneficial energy between the healer and the recipient, which deals with "dis-ease" at the deepest level, and frees your natural resources to work in the most effective way for you.

By appointment or drop-in.

2:00p - 6:30a

Hosted by Friar Adrian Sheila Watson.

For those of you who are interested I will be combining 5 Moons from witchschool.com and Druidhaven.bravehost.com

We will learn the ancient techniques of using the tools, of the Craft, Athame (double edge letter opener), Wand a symbol of the tree of life and the Pentacle, the circle of the eternal year, of the Goddess and the God.

We will embark on a journey creating our own way of travel, besom, parler rooke, flight of foot.

Some of us will branch off, when the time comes, but we part as a family on friendly terms, healing ourselves through various means crying,  laughing, singing, gathering fuel and food, learning how to build shelter, and weave cloth from the chaft, that is in the air itself.

Using the Savory herbs to delight the taste buds and to heal the body. Two choose what is really valuable to us.

Such as an old Blankee, or an old stuff bear, to create anew security and a new way of life, all the while healing the earth, with the projects and such.

For there are always people to carry on, from where we left on, no matter what position in the rat race of high fiance and commerce, we need to see that we are ready to return to the old ways, in our own way, when we are ready.
