We all fall into the rut of making New Year’s Resolutions. Let’s try something else this year. Before we try to put something positive in our lives we must first get rid of some of our negative things. Get a shoebox or Amazon box seal it up and decorate it. Cut a slit in the top of the box and you now have your negative box. EVERY TIME you feel pain, negativity, extreme anger, etc. write it down, and throw it away in your box and your life. Use scrap paper or sticky notes. Say you are at work and something happens; write it down and when you get home put it in your box. You are now rid of it. Try this for January and see how you feel. On the next full moon Saturday, Feb 4th, Burn your box and get all the bad stuff out of your life. We will start a fire at the store around 2 PM (weather permitting) so you can bring your box to burn. Let me know if this is working for you.
Sale: All Bulk herbs, culinary and teas are 75% off for the month. Counts for all jar herbs and spices. (Not for packaged herbs.)

Echinacea (Echinacea augustifolia)
Medicinally: Stimulates the body defense systems against disease. An antibacterial, antiseptic and antiviral herb. It stimulates the immune system. Echinacea is often used for treatment and prevention of urinary tract infection. It is one of the best blood purifiers.
Caution: To be most effective, take only a few days at a time when needed.
Historically: Winnebago tribesman put the plant in their mouths before performing a coal ritual. Magicians would wash their hands with Echinacea before plunging them in scalding water. During the 19th century, Echinacea was used as a blood purifier and a treatment for dizziness.
Spiritually: Strengthens many health spell works. Many native tribes used as an offering to the spirits to ensure strength. Carrying it will provide inner strength in stressful or trying times.
– The seed I planted in the earth will slumber ‘neath the snow. And many days will come and pass before I see it grow. Gryphons Moon
