I have soooo many friends who are interested in herbal remedies and alternative medicines. This makes me very happy, because as a practicing “green witch” I have many books on remedies I can whip up. This might end up being the only way I can afford to give Christmas/Yule gifts this year. In my own Christy fantasy land I hope to someday make my own line of energy/magick induced products.
And for those of you seeking like-minded gifts please use the wonderful services of Flying Bird Botanicals. Noting that they have a new baby girl in their household and thus take up to 10 days to ship.
Flying Bird Botanicals only uses organic ingredients. They also try to buy only local when possible. They have gift baskets made up or you can buy things separate and create your own stuffed stocking.
One of their more popular products is their tea line, “nutritive immunity…teas for wellness.” Their blends include red raspberry leaf, nettles, oat tops and straw, alfalfa, red clover tops, astragalus, elderberries, rose hips, lemon balm, dandelion root, fennel and spearmint.
One tea which sounds particularly lovely right now is their Peace of Mind tea. Their PEACE OF MIND TEA is gentle and calming for your nervous system. It includes: lemon balm, oats and oat straw, skullcap and spearmint.
I’m also a huge fan of White Magick’s Etsy shop. Where “everything is charged with the positive force of White Magick!” They have an array of handmade “Witch Ware” including herbal alchemy, divination tools, pendulums, ritual oils, altar supplies, candle magick, sacred spell and ritual kits, crystals, gemstones, herbal potions, teas, and rare magical apothecary and brews.
If magic isn’t your fancy, they also sell cool candles. Right now, they are featuring a set of three Snowball candles. The description is: “These sweet and small handmade Snowball Candles are a festive decoration for the holiday season. Scented with a Fresh Snow fragrance, each candle is sprinkled with a light gold and silver glittering shimmer and measure 2 inches around. The perfect addition to your holiday decor or table centerpieces during Yule and Holiday celebrations.” And they are under $10!
Last but not least, is the Power Of Nature Jewels shop. The owner of this shop had been in a horrible car accident after which she was seriously injured. She spent time researching healing remedies and such. She says she was immediately intrigued by the healing power of stones and other natural elements. She says, “I have created beautiful jewelry with stones and other natural elements hand picked for their special healing properties.”
The picture you see here shows a healing necklace. It is mostly made of clear crystal quartz, and there is also a Herkimer diamond dangle. The beautiful healing Herkimer Diamond encourages spontaneity. It is good for memory and new beginnings, and it is great for metabolism and genetic material. Herkimer is long known and credited for its pain-relieving properties.
