Ghost vs Spirits

Is there a difference between Ghost and Spirits?

As I write this lens, I too will be learning the difference between ghost and spirits. I know in general conversations when people speak about this subject, they will refer to ghost/spirit in the same context. Is there a difference? Lets start here...

Wikipedia A ghost is said to be the apparition of a deceased person, frequently similar in appearance to that person, and usually encountered in places she or he frequented, the place of his or her death, or in association with the person's former belongings. The word "ghost" may also refer to the spirit or soul of a deceased person, or to any spirit or demon.

Woodstock

Clipped from www.squidoo.com

1960's Music

Woodstock-Summer of Love

Back in the 1960's our record collection was very much like today's musical CD's. Music for me is something that has always touched the core of my being. I actually use to play music all of the time especially in the sixties. My stepfather was a music junkie so needless to say we always had a good music setup. Since no one was allowed to touch his stereo equipment, most of the time I would have a very inexpensive recorder player and would play my 45's all the time.

If you were to ask what people remember most about the 1960's, it would be the hippies, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Woodstock. Woodstock was 3 days of Peace and Music held on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York on 600 acres. During that weekend, 32 acts performed in front of 500,000 people. I found this information at Wiki.

Gothic Bathroom Accessories

Gothic Toilet Brush Holder

This picture started my whole thinking process for this lens. My husband was looking through a catalog and when I seen this picture of the Skull Toilet Brush, I immediately thought WOW, that would make an interesting SQUIDOO LENS! My husband just looked at me and shook his head!

I happen to love Gothic Theme rooms. When I was single, I had a few my rooms decorated in a Gothic Theme and loved it! Everybody has a bathroom, right? Why not have it decorated with a Gothic Theme as well, especially during Halloween?

During my search for items to show in this lens, I also found some fantastic sites that sell Gothic Theme bathroom accessories. Of course you could go with the solid black, but adding a touch of electric blue, burgundy or blood red just adds a little more of a mystical feel to the interior décor.

Kitchen Witch

Kitchen Witch

Exactly, what is a Kitchen Witch?

A Kitchen Witch: is a woman who has placed magick in every aspect of her home, her hearth. She is the Keeper of the Home who ensures it is safe, cleaned of negative energies and it is nurtured on all levels. I choose to post this description because it best describes me and my experiences. In a sense I am more like a Hedge-witch.

A Kitchen Witch puts so much energy in her home that most of the time the kitchen becomes the Heart of the Home. I have had people gather in my home and most of the time we gather in the kitchen. We will share a wonderful herbal tea and a cake filled with magickal energy, or a beautiful spring salad with all of the trimmings. We will sit and talk and share so much that time actually fly's away.
