“Yule is the true spirit of Mother Earth. Yule is the rebirth of the seasons. Without Yuletide, Mother Earth cannot heal herself. . . will wither and die. That is why it is so important that I reawaken the spirit within mankind. Help them to believe again. Because it is their power of belief; their love and devotion that heals the land.”

Healing: Black Kyanite grounds the body when aligning the chakras. Blue Kyanite opens the throat chakra, encouraging communication and self-expression. It cuts through fears and blockages, helping to speak one’s truth. It is very useful for public speakers and performers as it strengthens the voice and heals the throat and the larynx.
To recharge this stone, keep it in the natural bowl and cover it with a bit of water to let it sit for only a short time. Kyanite being the stone of nature; loves to connect to its element and will recharge your soul.
Kyanite is a typically blue alum inosilicate mineral, found in aluminum-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock. It is the high pressure polymorph of andalusite and sillimanite, and the presence of kyanite in metamorphic rocks generally indicates metamorphism deep in the Earth’s crust. Kyanite is also known as disthene or cyanite.

Medicinally: Lemon balm has been proved to have beneficial effects on the nervous system. Lemon balm is a very calming herb. The primary use of the plant has been in its ability to restore the joy and zest for life even in the most melancholy of individuals. It is said that the plant not only helps reduce stress and anxiety, it also sharpens the memory and improves the function of the brain. Lemon balm has been prescribed by herbalists for a good night’s sleep as it aids indigestion and also has a mildly sedative effect.
For thousands of years, lemon balm has provided an effective remedy for nervous problems including migraines, neuralgia, headaches related to tension and stress, hysteria, anxiety and palpitations of the heart. When hot infusions made of lemon balm are consumed, it induces sweating. Thus it helps flush out the toxins in the body. It is even said that a daily infusion of lemon balm promotes a long life. Lemon balm is considered to be a woman-friendly herb as it helps relieve premenstrual tension and the pain of menstrual cramping. Lemon balm is an active ingredient in aromatherapy. It is also believed to work wonders on the skin and is therefore used as a mild external skin wash. Lemon balm is an established remedy for depression and anxiety. It also has a calming effect on the digestive tract. It therefore effectively combats colic, gas, stomach upset and stomach cramps. Additionally, lemon balm has excellent antiviral properties. Therefore it relieves pain and itching on the surface of the skin. It also speeds up the healing of herpes simplex virus which is the cause of cold sores.
Side Effects and Cautions: As far as it is known, there are no significant negative effects from the use of the lemon balm as yet. Excessive contact with lemon balm may induce a bout of dermatitis in some individuals.
Culinary uses: The fresh or dried lemon balm leaves can be added to green salads, to sandwiches, as well as to marinades and sauces, to vegetable soups and stews. It can also be used as a stuffing for pork, for veal, or for poultry, lemon balm can be used in dishes of vegetables, in many kinds of egg dishes. The lemon balm has a rather delicate taste, and when using, use as much as you need and more in quantity then the other robust or pungent culinary herbs normally used in culinary preparations

Basil Oven Roasted Potatoes
1/4 cup freshly chopped basil, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 to 2 lbs. potatoes chopped, salt and pepper to taste. For added flavor add dried onions and garlic.
1. Cut the potatoes into cubes. Put them in large bowl.
2. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes. Mix to coat evenly.
3. Toss in chopped basil. Add salt and pepper to taste
4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put foil on baking sheet.
5. Arrange potatoes evenly on sheet. Bake potatoes 1./2 hour to 45 minutes.

Helpful Hints:
- Never use salted butter to grease cookie sheets because salt makes cookies stick. Use unsalted butter, margarine or shortening.
- When rolling cookie dough, use powdered sugar instead of flour. Cookies will be a little sweeter.
- A fast way to decorate cookies is to coat the cookie top with egg white diluted with a bit of water and sprinkle with colored gelatin.
- For mock macaroon crumbs, combine 2 cups of bread crumbs (rolled from over-toasted dry bread) with 1 cup of sugar and 4 tsp. of almond extract.
- Moisten the surface on which you lay waxed paper for rolling dough and the paper will not slip and slide.
- If cookie dough is hard to handle, place it between two pieces of wax paper (floured) and then roll to desired thickness. Remove top paper to cut cookies.
