Autumn is finally here. New Beginnings for many of us even though fall is usually dying down with Mother Nature. I can’t even tell you how many people I know that love this season above the rest. We have added so much to the store and as I write this we are decorating for the season. We say goodbye to Sheena; she is off to bigger and better adventures. Jess and Vickie is still with us and I am coming into the shop 2 to 3 times a week.
We have asked our volunteers to step in for now and help us out during the upcoming events. We are so grateful for all the help, support and patronized you all are giving us.
Blessings.

Fridays:
Tarot Reader
Looking for a Tarot reader? Never had a reading before but are curious to “dip your toe in?” Have questions or feeling stuck and just wanting some confirmation or guidance on a situation? Come talk to our reader, Senah! With over 10 years’ experience in reading tarot, she will give you an honest assessment of your situation as shown to her by the cards and your guides. This is a bit of how she works in her own words.
“Each Tarot reader has different gifts, and mine is insight into what’s going on with you at the moment. Fears and attitudes that maybe keeping you from moving forward. I use the Celtic Dragon deck with all my clients and my cards are gentle but very honest and straightforward. I understand that to get a good reading the recipient has to be open and I take that seriously and consider it an honor if you choose to get a reading from me. I want you to walk away feeling confident that the messages you get from the reading are uniquely yours and what you needed to hear in the moment.”
So if you have questions, are feeling stuck, or have never had a reading before and are feeling curious as to what it’s all about, come see her at Truely Unique on Fridays or every other Saturday. Or if you’re closer to Johnson County she is at our “sister” store Misty’s Mystical in Selma every other Saturday. Follow her @TarotbySenah on Facebook and Instagram for the Saturday dates. We look forward to seeing you!

Toad Song Farm
2024 has been a great year at Toad Song Farm so far, and we’re looking forward to lots more good things to happen this year. This time of year we are getting the greenhouse ready for winter and starting our propagation for next spring. Volunteer interns are always welcome to help with whatever projects we have in our queue. Weekends, Mondays, and Wednesdays are the days to come out if you want to lend a hand and learn a little more about herbs and plants.
Wise Women Retreat 2024 was a huge success! Our groups made fancy brooms and learned the witch’s dance. Lots of great food was shared, and we all had a chance to recharge our systems. Next year’s Wise Women Retreat is scheduled for September 19-21, 2025, and will be all about medicine making.
We’re hosting 2 more big events for this year:
First up is our Annual Dumb Supper and Samhain celebration that will be held on Saturday, October 26. Bring a pumpkin to carve, a dessert or snack food to share, and come dressed in your best ritual attire as we dine with our ancestors and share a special Samhain ritual.
The second big event is our annual Stone Soup Party and Yule feast on Saturday, December 21. Everyone is asked to bring something for the pot or for the table and a clean take away container. I’ll get 2 pots of soup started – 1 vegetarian, and 1 for omnivores. The stones and the items the community brings always makes the best pot of soup. We’ll spend the evening making merry with friends and neighbors. After the fellowship and feast, be sure to take some soup with you to share with those who can’t join us.
Look for us as we visit Truely Unique on the 2nd Saturday of October, November, and December. We plan to bring our non-plant products and Mary’s massage chair so you can see what all we have going on here at Toad Song Farm.
Stay in touch to learn about all the great things we plan to have going on in 2025. We’re introducing new products and plants for the spring and teaming up with other wonderful small businesses like Truely Unique to bring you a magical herbal experience.
Happy Fall and Blessed Be!

Freshly ground pepper, to taste
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray lightly with olive oil.

• In a wide bowl or plate, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt and pepper.

Stone of the Month by Path Seeker
Stone and Birthstone: October
Stone: Opal: Opals are in a class by themselves. As a species, opal is so unique its patterns have their own descriptive vocabulary. More than any other gem, each opal is distinctly individual. Opals are also the most delicate gemstones commonly worn and require special care.
Chakra: All Chakras, depending on color
Zodiac: Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces
Planet: Venus Element: Fire Vibration: 6
Typical colors: Some opals can display the phenomenon known as play-of-color; dazzling flashes of color that move as the stone is turned. Opals are the only gems that can show this effect, but not all opals do.
Healing: Perhaps due to their dynamic appearance, opals are associated with light and magic. As such, some credited opals with healing properties, especially for the eyes. So, pleasing to the sight, it inspires love and hope, innocence, purity, luck, happiness, protection, prosperity, creativity, inspiration, relationship and harmony
Oil Pairings: frankincense, sandalwood, juniper, lavender, orange
Cleanse: Opal is a relatively delicate gemstone that requires special cleaning care to avoid damage or discoloration. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, and sulfuric acid as they can potentially damage or discolor the stone. It is best only to use gentle soaps and warm water to clean opal for a safe and successful result. Avoid hot water, if you choose to clean your opal yourself, use lukewarm water, a mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush; rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth afterwards. Keep in mind that these pieces are delicate and should be handled with care when cleaning. Opal is a relatively delicate gemstone
that requires special cleaning care to avoid damage or discoloration. Here are some tips on how to properly clean opal stones.
Goddess / Gods: Zeus the God of lightning, Aphrodite Greek goddess of love, Eros Greek god of love and desire
Charging: Placing an opal stone in the full moon’s light is another way to cleanse it. This process helps remove any negative energy and restore its natural balance, so be sure to do this on a clear night when the moon is in its fullest. Leave the stone in the moonlight for a few hours before retrieving it and wiping it down with a soft cloth.
