Friday was the beginning of Jude's Magic Diaries class, although you can join any time I think. I have been thinking about what I will try to create with this slow, possibly large cloth. Yesterday, an idea that I was really excited about ka~boomed into my head. Herbs. Herbal plants used in every way, from medicinal tinctures to infusions, to essential oils to flower remedies....these are as magic as it gets for me....my journals are filled with the making of these potions. I have an idea for the centre...the great, and versatile Mother Elder. I have many favourites, but she is at the top of the list. The list is long, so maybe the cloth will turn out to be quite large. Then, I thought of secret little pockets here and there in the cloth...and the idea came to fill those little pockets with dried aromatic herbs...Lavender was predominant. Now, it remains to be seen if my abilities are equal to my ideas....
The Evening Primrose is in bloom and it made me think of two years ago, when I made a flower essence from it...and wrote about it in my journal....
Moon magic Evening Primrose Flower Essence
Sounds like a wonderful path to follow... I look forward to seeing the results!

i have always been in awe of those who make
these essences, oils, i will love to read
here any and all you write about that.

Mmmmm, the cloth sounds so...healing. I am sure that it will grow from your hands into a stunning piece of visual beauty, replete with the scents of Mother Earth. The sense of Mother Earth.
