Re: Member Chat
Hey all, can anyone here help me with some technical difficulties? I have some pictures of my Yule altar I took with my phone that I wanted to share but I can't seem to get them to upload. It keeps telling me that it's too big...? I tried loading them onto my computer and then uploading them here bu...

Re: Member Chat
Happy New Year! Here is gumbo recipe I promised using the instant roux mix. You can make it any time of the year really, most cajun people eat it all year round AND on Christmas Eve. Gumbo is basically a thick brown soup that is served over rice. Seafood Gumbo: In a large stock pot lightly brown 1 l...

Re: Member Chat
I would say it's a tradition specific to places close to the Gulf of Mexico. And, also specific to "Cajun culture". There are a lot of families in Louisiana and eastern Texas that have this tradition. But, I can't be sure how far over to Mississippi or Alabama that tradition continues, I d...

Re: Member Chat
Yay! I’m glad it got fixed! I’ve been working on my new Yule/winter solstice altar. I like it… but it’s definitely lacking still. As for Christmas, we’re keeping it light this year and having hubs family over the 23rd and mine the 24th so I’ve got my tree up. And, we’ll be making gumbo as usual. My ...

Re: Rosie's Journey
Oh, last night was awful. Thus is the way for a witch in the closet. Even though my husband knows about my beliefs and practices, he still doesn't get them. And, I tend to try to hide them if I can. So I have been working on collecting items for my Winter Solstice altar and it was going quite well. ...

Re: Crystal and Stone Info
Well yes, I can relate a bit. It would seem that I bought some stone that I cannot identify. I'm sure it was marked when I bought it but that's been a while back and I found the stone in a drawer recently and had forgotten about it altogether. One, in particular, is a beautiful polished green stone ...

Re: Rosie's Journey
Well, I am back! I've been missing in action around here for some time. A lot has changed for me since then. I say that because I've been studying the enneagram which is a self-awareness and development tool. It came into my life at just the right moment too. I was feeling very lost. My son had been...

Re: Old Member, New Intro
Oh my, you have no idea how difficult she really is! But, honestly my work with the enneagram has shown me that even though she has issues, my husband I avoid the conflict with her and don’t enforce our boundaries, and so she pretends there are none. We do love her and want her in our lives but she ...

Re: Old Member, New Intro
Hey Firebird!! I was just about to shoot you a little private message to try and connect with you! And yes, I did donate a kidney to my 2 year old about 8 weeks ago. And, you’re right it was a no-brainer. The only hiccup was that I was pregnant when I did my testing to see if I was a match and ended...

Re: Greetings fae Alba
Hey there and welcome! I was surprised to see you use words like powwow, shindigs and hootenanny! I’m from the United States and assumed those were American derived words, I did not realize those were being used over in Scotland too! Please excuse my ignorance. Hope to see you around!

Old Member, New Intro
Hey everyone! I'm not necessarily new around here but I've been gone for a while and so much has changed for me that I thought I'd do a new intro to try and connect (and re-connect) with some people here for inspiration and to reignite my presence. I don't have great terms to define my spirituality....

Re: Member Chat
Hello everyone, long time no chat. Sorry I’ve been MIA. My life took a turn when my son was born with kidney disease. He’s 2 years old and I recently donated one of my kidneys to him. He’s doing very well and I’ve recovered well too. I haven’t been too attentive to my spiritual needs lately. I’ve be...

Re: Guess my Pregnancy Details! (For fun!)
We were worried we would miss out on Halloween this year being at the hospital but they were so kind and dropped off a cute caterpillar costume for BB’s first Halloween! We hope this hungry caterpillar just keeps on eating! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201031/57a2d4b39825ffedf63aa98f42135959.j...
