Merry meet all,
Spring has finally arrived… technically. The weather is still cold and I heard rumours of snow. The Wheel has turned again. We look now to Ostara. I hope we don’t get snow and instead get crocus blossoms. They have popped their colourful heads out of the soil in my Mom’s backyard.
I am obsessed with green lately. Spring has hit me hard. I did paint my dresser green and add rub on transfers to the dresser. Faeries, butterflies and flowers adorn the lovely dresser. I’ve already sewn myself a dress but I need to wait till it is summer to wear it. The dress is not warm enough. I see signs of spring everywhere. It won’t be long till I return to working in the garden. I can’t wait! I have ordered a few meters of green linen from Etsy. I want to make a chemise type dress with it. I was originally thinking of sewing myself a green Nordic apron dress but I realized in time that is too expensive. The fabric store here did not carry the fabric in the colour I wanted. So I am sure the fabric on Etsy will suffice and now I have to find a pattern. That should not be too hard.
I have returned to editing my novel I wrote prior to The Cult of the Spider People: Bone Chillers #1. I haven’t read it or even glanced at it in 2 years. It is like greeting an old friend but one full of errors! I don’t think there is much edits left to do on the manuscript. I have already cut scenes, changed the cute cat’s name and a few other edits.
I find it also much easier to study herbalism when it is spring and summer. The bounty of nature is more plentiful. I am studying how to identify plants and that is much easier when they are a vibrant verdant green, not faded brown and worn from the winter rest. It may take me longer than I planned to finish Unit 2.
I am ok with that. There are a lot of big ideas and philosophies they are expressing in the lessons. I don’t believe in becoming a herbalist in a weekend. It will take much much longer than that. I can wait. I want to truly earn it. The course is far more demanding and it cannot be done within a weekend. There is far too much material to cover.
This morning there was snow on the ground but the snow has melted. Now the rain rinses the street and nourishes the plants. I do believe spring is the victor season. I hope that is the case.
This is just a quick post here today. I promise to get more in depth in future posts. I hope you are all enjoying the early spring season. Have you spotted robins or crocuses yet? I hope so.
Blessed Be, Spiderwitch
