If you choose to try your hand at wildcrafting, please take all care in making sure to properly identify the herb you are working; there are many herbs out there which, if used improperly, can be extremely harmful.

"Psychic Tea:

3 parts Rose Petals

2 parts Thyme

2 parts Yarrow

1 part Cinnamon

1 part Clove

Brew in boiling water for approximately ten minutes then strain through either a fine mesh strainer or two layers of cheesecloth. Add honey to taste if necessary. Do not add milk or cream. This tea along with a cleansing bath can be used to enhance the results of divination, astral travel or any psychic work."

Freedom

by Willow Woods

The white wolf,

She runs freely,

Claws digging in the earth,

Gaining speed and power.

Feeling connected,

Once more with the wild flow of energy,

Whipping through her fur.

Tail streamline behind her

Showing how secure she is,

In HER surroundings.

At this very moment,

Nothing feels more alive than the present.

Living in this moment.

Right here,

Right now,

Freely.
