How you could be preparing
for this growing season.
Locally
gather a list of people who are interested
in community gardening-Whether avid gardeners
or eager students. Try local online message boards.
Try and find as many backyards
and vacant lots that could manifest community
gardens run on community currency and volunteer.
-Sweep the sand off the driveway, sidewalks
and gutters and collect it for future gardening/yard tasks
- Rake dead matter off lawn and collect garbage/debris
around your neighbourhood.
- Dig up your gardens and help your neighbours
do the same. Liberty Gardens are back in style.
-Sow seeds on porch in grape crates/flats.
Variety of containers are great for sowing seeds in potting soil. Cover
with emergency blanket at night.
-cut back roses down to 3 to 5 inches where
dead branches reside. Allow green shoots to blossom.
Basil-
Positive qualities: Integration of
sexuality and spirituality into a sacred
wholeness.
Patterns of imbalance: Polarization of sexuality and spirituality, often leading to clandestine behavior or marital stress.
Patterns of imbalance: Polarization of sexuality and spirituality, often leading to clandestine behavior or marital stress.
Sweet Basil is a religious herb associated
with both Krishna and Vishnu. Hindus
grow this herb to provide protection for the home
and family. Any person in need of courage
will benefit from Basil as it builds strength
and helps one move forward in a positive manner.
Basil is known for its quality of protecting the seeker from
fears that one encounters when moving along a spiritual
path and may bring protection to the seeker
and their family as well.
The soul in need of Basil tends to polarize
and separate the experience of spirituality and sexuality, believing
that these cannot be integrated. This affliction is most evident in
relationships where there is a compulsive need to seek sexual
liaisons outside the main partnership. Quite often sexual activity
is associated with that which is secret or sinful. There is also a very
strong attraction to pornography and other forms of illicit or illegal
sexuality. The soul feels great tension between the polarities of spiritual
purity and physical sexuality.
In the unconscious struggle to reconcile these forces,
the soul often capitulates to or becomes enmeshed in debasing and dehumanizing
sexual activity. Once these polarities are brought together as a conscious
unity, the soul no longer feels compelled to separate them into opposing
and destructive activities. Basil flower essence helps the
soul to experience the world and the
Self as truly sacred and whole.
-
as with many aromatic herbs, the plant has several health benefits,
such as having antioxidant and anti-microbial
properties.
Holy
Basil for Depression and Panic Attacks- This herb is classified
as an adaptogen, a substance that increases the body’s resistance
to internal and external stress. Therefore, it makes sense that it would
relieve panic attacks and depression. http://www.drwhitaker.com/holy-basil-for-depression-and-panic-attacks
Herbal
Usages: - mild nervous disorders, dried
leaves used as snuff (to be inhaled through the nose),
which is said to cure nervous headaches. A drop of
essential oil on your pillow (or a facecloth inside your pillowcase)
will help insomnia and depression.
Works well for tired muscles, or wandering rheumatic pains. A poultice (a moist mass of bread, clay, meal or other adhesive base, combined with herbs and heated, spread on a cloth and placed on an inflamed or aching part of the body) helps to heal wounds because of its antibacterial properties.
Also said to cure warts, and is great for acne.
An infusion will help relieve gas and stomach pains, is said to stop vomiting and calm nausea. The infusion is also really good for chest infections, and bronchial troubles.
Great for repelling insects and treating bites. Associations: Mars; Scorpio; fire; masculine; kings; scorpions; leaving a leaf under a pot would turn into a scorpion

Magic(k)al Workings - powerful magic(k)s
in the Craft, as it can be used for exorcism.
Sprinkled in each corner of all rooms in the home, and using in bathwater will exorcise negativity. Will bring good luck to a new home.
Mending lovers’ quarrels as well as being worn to encourage two people, who may be in danger of a big blow-out, to have sympathy for one another and avoid argument.
Used in charms hung or placed in vehicles for safe travel.
Leaves are carried in wallets to attract money, and aid in financial needs. Carried in pockets when gambling for luck, and sprinkled across the doorway of a business to encourage it to flourish.
To foretell the success of a relationship, place two leaves on a charcoal. If they separate while burning, the relationship will not work out. If they lay there quietly burning, the couple will be successful in their relationship. Sprinkling basil over a lovers’ heart keeps them faithful to you.
Basil incense is used for purification before ritual; can also be burned for vision quests. Juices are also used in flying ointments.
Lastly, many potions for love, health, money and protection are made with basil. http://theforestwitch.wordpress.com/2010/06/page/2/

Birth of the Incense Stick incensense
- http://8thfire.biz/incensense.htm
1. Laboratory - The laboratory inspects the quality of the natural perfume that is the main ingredient of incense sticks, makes research and development of new products, and carries out stringent control of the product smell.
2. Milling - Aloes and sandalwoods are crushed into powder.
3. Blending - About 10 different kinds of incense and dyes are blended with the original proportions.
4. Sieving - Mixed materials are made uniform in a mixer and put through a sieve to remove impurities.
5. Kneading - The materials are kneaded into clay-form materials. A single mass of the clay-form material is called "tama".
6. Extruding - "Tama" is pressed through a hydraulic extruder to shape sticks. They are extruded on a tray and cut into a fixed length.
7. Straightening - The sticks of incense are put on the board to be dried. In this process, the sticks that are not straight are removed while the rest of them are placed neatly.
8. Cutting - The sticks of incense are cut in various lengths according to the uses.
9. Drying - Natural drying is the most appropriate. It requires several days during summer and more than 10 days during winter.
10. Adjusting with a board- This process eliminates the space between the half-dry incense sticks and prevents incense sticks from being crooked or bent. Hand-making enables to check even the slightest bend.
11. Binding - Each stick is inspected carefully. They are bound together by a fixed weight to prevent any bend.
12. Packing - Packing is done while inspecting each product.
