Wolf Totem

My Spirit Wolf Totem

n the drumming circles I attended, someone mentioned that they were going to have a Shaman Class in a couple of weeks to help people find their "Animal Spirit Totems". I was so excited that I could not contain myself. I signed up and hoped to goodness that the money was going to manifest so I could pay for the class. I honestly believe that when things are meant to be, everything will come together and that is exactly what happened for me and the class. There was a pretty big group. I knew most everybody but there were a few new people that I had not meant before. It was a one day workshop that would turn out to be one of the most fascinating days of my life. Finally, I was going to meet my "Dolphin" the animal that I knew with all of my heart that was my Animal Spirit Totem. Little did I know that we are not the ones that choose our guides, our guides choose us. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Farmers Cheese

Farmers Cheese

The Idea As I have mentioned several times before, my husband and I use to homestead. I write about it here if you would like to take a look: Homesteading Our Journey I wish I would have tried making cheese back then. The one thing my husband and I tried to make was homemade butter. We used heavy cream and had to shake it in a mason jar for a long time. It really did not taste bad, I just did not realize I needed to allow it to drain through cheese-cloth like this cheese. The Idea about making this cheese came to me the other day. I am the worst trying to figure out what to eat during the hot summer months. I just know I want it simple and easy without having to use the stove a lot. I caught the tail end of a cooking show on Food Network and the cook was making cheese. So I went online to try and find a recipe. Read more at whiteoak.hubpages.com

Glass Decorative Witches Balls

Legend of the Witch Ball

Witch Balls are beautiful colored spheres of blown glass. They are created in a way that thin strands of material gather on the inside of the sphere creating somewhat of a web design. They are perfect for any home's décor, especially for the kitchen. I have two, one green one that hangs by my kitchen window and a new aqua blue that I plan on hanging in my living room. The Witch Ball is full of history dating back to the 18th century. The designs became very refined back in the Victorian Era. They are hung in the window for protection against evil spells and negativity. It is said that the beauty of the sphere attracts these spirits and their energy gets trapped inside the glass sphere, protecting your home and environment from harm. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Homesteading-Living Off Grid

Self-Sufficiency

What is the definition for Homesteading? Broadly defined homesteading is a lifestyle, a simple life and/or a life of being self-sufficient. It takes you back to the days of the Wild West and the old pioneers that lived a very hard life and lived with very little. Homesteads today are living off grid, some consider it The Path to Freedom being able to live without electricity bills, phone bills, televisions and all of the modern day niches. It is getting up and taking care of your small farm and growing a good portion of what you eat. It is raising your foods without chemicals and pesticides, feeding your animals hormones and food that may not always be chemical free. Some may call it a "Simple" life, but working that hard to survive is nothing simple. What is rewarding is the connection from becoming a family again, and not having to depend solely on outside sources for major finances. You learn to live with little and become very grateful for EVERYTHING you have!! Read more at www.squidoo.com
