| Universal Lover
(c)2004 by Rev. Goddess Charmaine

Feeling Frisky? Herbs For Fertility
(c) 1999 by Susun Weed
For thousands of years knowledge of the herbs and wild plants that could increase fertility were the secrets of the village wise women. But after the holocaust against European Wise Women (the "burning times") and the virtual extermination of Native American medicine women, this knowledge virtually disappeared. In fact, many people erroneously believe that "primitive people" had no means of controlling the likelihood of pregnancy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Many common plants can be used to influence fertility, including red clover, partridge berry, liferoot, wild carrot, and wild yam. Some of these grow wild, others are easy to cultivate, and, with the exception of wild carrot, all are also readily available at health food stores.
One of the most cherished of the fertility-increasing plants is red clover (Trifolium pratense). Common in fields and along roadsides, it has bright pink (not really red) blossoms from mid-summer into the chilly days of fall. A favorite flower of the honeybees, the tops (blossoms and appending leaves) are harvested on bright sunny days and eaten as is, or dried for medicinal use. The raw blossoms are delicious in salads and nutritious when cooked with grains such as rice or millet.
To make a fertility-enhancing infusion, I take one ounce by weight of the dried blossoms (fresh won't work for this application) and put them in a quart size canning jar. I fill the jar with boiling water, screw on a tight lid, and let it steep at room temperature overnight (or for at least four hours). Dozens of women have told me that they had successful pregnancies after drinking a cup or more (up to four cups) a day of red clover infusion.
It is especially helpful if there is scarring of the fallopian tubes, irregular menses, abnormal cells in the reproductive tract, or "unexplained" infertility. It may take several months for the full effect of this herb to come on and pregnancy may not occur until you have used it for a year or two. You can improve the taste by including some dried peppermint (a spoonful or two) along with the dried clover blossoms when making your infusion. Treat the father of the child-to-be to some red clover infusion too!
That little evergreen creeper that carpets some parts of the woods around your house is partridge berry (Mitchella repens), also known as squaw weed, supposedly because of its ability to enhance fertility. (My teacher Twylah Nitsch, grandmother of the Seneca Wolf clan, says that "squaw" is a slang term meaning "schmuck" or, in the proper term, "penis," and therefore should not be used in denoting a plant meant to be used by women.) Keep an eye out this spring and see if you can catch Mitchella blooming. Then you'll see why she's sometimes called "twin flower."
Interestingly, when the paired flowers fall off, they leave behind but one berry to ripen. (The shiny red berries you've noticed in the forest winter or spring. Yes, they are safe to eat, but leave some for the partridges.) The symbolism of two flowers forming one berry is certainly a suitable icon for fertility. I make a medicinal vinegar by filling a small jar with the fresh leaves, adding apple cider vinegar until the jar is full again. A piece of waxed paper held in place with a rubber band and a label (including date) completes the preparation, which must sit at room temperature for six weeks before use. I enjoy up to a tablespoonful of the vinegar on my salads or in my beans.
By mid- to late-May, the yellow blossoms of liferoot (Senecio aureus) enliven my swamp (in upstate New York) and the neighboring roads where there is adequate water and rich soil. A powerful medicine resides in all parts of this lovely wildflower. As the root has a dangerous reputation, I restrict myself to using only the flowers and leaves, which I harvest in bloom, and quickly tincture. (For instructions for making your own tinctures, please see any of my books.) Small doses of this tincture (3-8 drops a day), taken at least 14 days out of the month, will regulate hormone production, increase libido, normalize the menses, relieve menstrual pain, and improve fertility. The closely related Senecia jacobea and Senecio vulgaris can also be used.
Wild carrot (Daucus carota), better known as Queen Anne's lace, is such a common roadside plant that most people are amazed to learn that it is a proven anti-fertility herb. In addition to being the wild cousin of carrot, it is related to parsley, dill, caraway, anise, celery, cumin, and a (now extinct) plant whose seeds were the birth-control of choice for many a classical Greek or Roman woman.
The aromatic seeds of wild carrot are collected in the fall and eaten (a heaping teaspoonful a day) to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg. In one small study the effectiveness rate after thirteen months of use was 99%. As modern scientific medicine reports that one-third of all fertilized eggs are passed out of the body without implanting in the uterus, this method of birth control seems in complete agreement with nature.
Of the hundreds of women currently using this anti-fertility agent, I have heard virtually no reports of any side-effects. Note that many books caution you to beware the danger of confusing poison hemlock and wild carrot. Poison hemlock is rather scarce in our area, and, at any rate, does not smell or taste of carrot (as does Queen Anne's lace), so I believe this warning to be a red herring. In addition, wild carrot leaves have small hairs on them, while the leaves of poison hemlock are smooth.
Another anti-fertility herb that has been tested by small groups of modern women is wild yam (Dioscorea villosa). Since birth-control pills were originally made from this plant, it is not at all surprising that it has the effect of blocking conception when taken daily in rather large doses: either a cup of tea or two capsules taken three times a day.
Does it have detrimental effects? Current studies are too small to show any, but there is a possibility that there could be. Interestingly enough, if wild yam is taken in small doses (a cup of tea or 10-20 drops of the tincture daily from onset of menses until mid-period) it increases fertility! In either case, the effect seems to be triggered by the large amount of hormone-like substances found in this root. When taken daily, these substances may be converted into progesterone, thus decreasing the possibility of conception. When taken for the two weeks preceding ovulation, these substances may be converted into LH and FSH, hormones that are needed to make the egg ready to be fertilized.
Other common weeds and garden plants of our area that have been used to increase or decrease fertility include stinging nettle, oatstraw, pennyroyal, Jack-in-the-pulpit, rue, and parsley.
The earth is full of wonders, and green magic abounds. As more and more women remember that they are wise women, more of the wonders and the magic will be revealed. May your days be filled with many green blessings.

Basic Steps of Recovering From DivorceCourtesy of Quality Books
When you've been the "victim" of a divorce, the first thing you MUST UNDERSTAND and BEGIN BELIEVING is that YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF IT- Regardless of how badly you feel, you must realize that it has happened to millions of people before you; it is happening to countless people every day; and it will continue to happen to millions of people so long as there is love, marriage and divorce.
Although you may never have felt such pain in your life before, YOU WILL GET OVER IT. It takes time, but you will recover and find love again. It's imperative that you understand this, and believe it, even if you have to write it in big letters on your bedroom mirror, type it out on a 3 x 5 card you carry with you in your wallet, or say it aloud to yourself every hour on the hour.
You must at the same time, understand that people suffering from divorce go through certain predictable phases of thinking and acting as they begin to recover. In order to cope with the insecurity, uncertainty, and emotional damage you've suffered, you should understand that it's only natural that you go through each of these phases, and that as a result, you will again be a happy person.
Perhaps the second hardest thing the person who has been "victimized" in a divorce has to do is let go. It's vitally important that you immediately let go of the other person; realize that the marriage is over, and begin setting your own life in order.
Of course all of this is much easier said or written than done, but these things you must do, and you must do them - or get started on them - immediately. You've got to think about yourself - finding some sort of work with which to support yourself, and maybe your kids; writing out a plan for the management of your money; figuring out your transportation needs; and what you're going to do to fill your spare time.
You cannot allow yourself to just sit and waste away! You've got to take hold of yourself and go on living! You can do it, and you must! The best way is to busy yourself with all the planning you've got to do, and all the things you've got to do to make those plans pan out. Sit down with paper and pencil immediately, look at your situation as it really exists, and lay out a "road map" of things that you're going to have to do in order to survive.
In the meantime, the pain will still be there but you've got to keep forcing yourself not to think about it or dwell upon what was yesterday. The more you think about the past - what went wrong and why it happened to you - the worse it's going to hurt, and the longer it'll take for you to recover.
What has happened to you can be likened to a cut on your hand: It hurts, and you bleed, but you wash it off, perhaps apply some medication, then a bandage and allow time as well as the healing processes of the human system to make it all well again. So it is with the dissolution of a marriage, but the bottom line is still: You must cure yourself of the hurt before you can be happy again.
You're going to feel lonely, lost and deserted. You're going to grieve. You are going to mourn the loss of your loved one. You're going to deny that it's over, and think of it as a bad dream. You may fall into a state of deep depression and pretend that it's only a game that will soon end.
In order to counter these feelings, you must try to keep yourself busy - cleaning the house, washing your car, writing out a budget, studying and/or working - you must force yourself to "keep moving and working" on the kinds of things that make you self-sufficient as well as a person that can hold his or her head up in any crowd or situation.
You're going to become so angry that you'll want to do things "just to spite" your lost loved one. Women in particular, have a difficult time coping with the anger phase. They become bitter because of the rejection they feel, the abandonment, and what they consider the lack of honesty on the part of their former husbands. It manifests itself as a result of final property settlements and child support agreements. They sometimes withhold visitation rights with the children in order to punish or get their point across.
You must understand that anger is the process of projecting onto another person, your own sense of hurt and frustration. Anger is a natural feeling in a stressful situation. Regardless of how it's done, you must express the feelings of anger you're carrying or they'll "eat you alive!" The important thing is to understand that it's a natural feeling as a result of a divorce, and that you have to let these feelings out - get rid of them - before you can truly go on to become a happy person. The best way to deal with anger is to know precisely what you're angry about - write it down on paper - and then pick the most appropriate method as well as time, to express your anger to the person that has made you angry.
Another phase you'll be going through is one of all-consuming guilt feelings. If I hadn't of, or if I had done this or that differently, or if only I had been a little more understanding. The more you dwell upon this kind of thinking, the deeper you'll fall into the trap of self-martyrdom which allows you to think of yourself as a loser, a failure, and not deserving of happiness.
You must drive those feelings of guilt from your mind as quickly as they appear! Simply tell yourself that it didn't work out; it's over, and you've got to things to do in order to survive. Understand and believe that you will recover; then plan what you're going to do, and start moving in that direction.
Still another phase you'll experience, is one of reconciliation. This is when the victim calls the lost loved one on the phone or writes letters, expressing undying love - acceptance of all the blame for the divorce - and promising to change to fit the needs and demands of the other person. This is when the victim disregards all his or her own needs and reaches out for the other person without pride.
Remember this: If your lost loved one does not want you, then you must cease to worry about him or her. You must take hold of yourself - your own ambitions for happiness and the kind of love you want - and first plan how you can attain these things, and then set about towards the eventual achievement of these goals.
You must forget about your ex-husband or ex-wife just as quickly as you possibly can! You must immediately see yourself as someone who's self-supporting and the only person on the face of this earth with the final say about how happy you can be. Difficult, yes - but the sooner you realize this and take charge of your own life, the sooner "what once was" will be forgotten and You'll find happiness again.
No one should throw themselves at the mercy of someone who doesn't want them. Each and every human being in this world is ruled by personal pride in himself. To "give up" one's pride is to give up one's life. Compromises and promises to make changes - followed by sincere efforts to do so are necessary to the ability of "couples" to get along with each other. But to disregard one's personal pride, is to become a non-entity.
The final phase you'll be going through will be one of acceptance. This is when you are no longer bothered by thoughts of your lost loved one all day long; when you're able to talk about him or her without a tug at your heart, and when you've accepted the fact that your marriage is really over: This is when you say to yourself that if he or she doesn't want me, than I don't want him or her. This is when you've got a handle on what you have to do in order to rebuild your life and get on with it, and you're doing just that!
As human beings, all of us have a brain. Because each of us has a brain, we all have feelings that manifest themselves emotionally in one form or another. No one is perfect, and thus, though we usually try with everything we've got to handle our problems with expertise, we usually fall down at least once or twice along the way. It's important to understand one's self as a human being, and to try to get a handle on our ambitions for true happiness - but if we should fall down along the way, we have to pick ourselves up and try again. This is likened to a baby learning to walk - he may take a small step or two, and then fall down, but unless he picks himself up and tries again, he'll never learn to walk.
Don't be afraid of being alone! Think about your own ambitions, and the kind of happiness you'd like to enjoy. Remember that loneliness, boredom and unhappiness are indeed, self-induced - determine that you want to be happy and then reach for it with all you've got!!!

Secrets of a Sound Sleep
(c) by Susie Michelle Cortright
A single good night's sleep can rejuvenate your mind,
body, and soul. Here's how to get one tonight:
IN PREPARATION
- A regular exercise routine will help you fall asleep
faster and wake up feeling more refreshed, but experts
don't recommend vigorous exercise fewer than three hours
before bedtime. Instead, schedule your workout five to six
hours before lights out. (Exercise causes
your core body temperature to rise, and natural
sleepiness will set in when your body temperature drops
again).
- Find another place for stressful activities. Pay your
bills at the kitchen table, not in your bedroom.
- Avoid nicotine and alcohol before bed. Nicotine is a
potent stimulant, and the metabolism of alcohol has an
alerting effect.
- Skip the afternoon latte, too. The stimulating effect
of caffeine can remain for as long as 12 hours. Keep in
mind that many teas and sodas, such as Mountain Dew,
contain high caffeine levels, as well.
- Restrict your water intake just before bed and during
the night. Midnight trips to the bathroom can cut into
your sleep, particularly if you have a hard time dozing
off again. Six hours of continuous sleep often result in
a more rested feeling than eight hours of on-again,
off-again snoozing because non-consecutive sleep interrupts
its deep, restorative phases.
- Check to see if any of your prescription or over-the-counter
medications may be interfering with your sleep. Some
diet pills, birth control pills, anti-depressants, and blood
pressure medications can have a rousing effect. Sleeping
pills, while tempting, are not the answer. They quickly
lose their effectiveness and can be addictive.
AT NIGHT
- Create a nest. Eliminate clutter, maintain a comfortable
sleeping temperature, and keep the room dark. Nightlights
and bright moonlight can interfere with quality sleep.
Install window treatments that block light, such as wooden
Venetian blinds or shades with blackout lining.
- Practice aromatherapy. Lavender oil or a lavender sachet
on your bedside table may help you feel sleepy and more
relaxed.
- Maintain a consistent bedtime routine. Try eating a
high-carbohydrate snack 30 to 45 minutes before bed. Then
engage only in relaxing activities.
- Stock your bedside table with easy reads that are both
empowering and relaxing.
- Keep a notebook and a pen near your bed, as well, to jot
down any late night worries. The act of recording your
anxieties will help clear them from your head so you can
relax into slumber.
- Make a ritual of giving your subconscious a problem to
solve during the hours you spend sleeping. You'll be surprised
how often you'll wake up with the solution after a good
night's sleep.
STILL CAN'T FALL ASLEEP?
-Just do it. Orgasms increase endorphins, which can help you
feel into a deep sleep.
-If your mate is causing you to lose sleep, get help.
Consult a doctor about a chronic snoring problem. Invest
in a good mattress so you won't move every time your spouse
does.
-If you haven't fallen asleep within 30 minutes, there's a
problem. Staring at the ceiling will only increase your
anxiety. Get out of bed. Do something relaxing, such as
deep breathing or meditative exercises.
Then try again later.

Dancing Naked in the Summer Rain
by Mysti/Fran Hafey
"I may not care for the shape of my body nor the way it jiggles sometimes... but it loves to dance and wake up my soul although sometimes my soul is the one waking up my body! Dance!"
~Mysti/Fran
Have you ever...
danced naked in the summer rain feeling the cool water on your skin and said thank you for the freedom of this pleasure? Felt the joyous energy run through your body and wished others could feel what you feel?...
Grabbed a blanket while sitting drying off, watching the fireflies dance on the wind in the trees as the sun goes down, knowing Autumn's on it's way and loving each season for its uniqueness and splendor and wish that others could feel what you feel?...
Can you hear the sounds around you? The birds, maybe traffic, music or children laughing in the distance and have you stopped and said thank you for my ears that I can hear these sounds and know them well? Have you ever wished others could hear what you hear?…
The sun shines overhead and the clouds billow by, careless and beautiful. The traffic light turns green and a flower grows by the highway. See a newborn baby take its first breath and watch an older couple hug. Do you ever wish others could see what you see?…
We’re so blessed even in this world that exists with pain and sorrow. We can choose to make our lives better... pick ourselves up by the scruff and Say "ok you had a bad day, week or year, now it the time for change"... and mean it!
If you need help, ask for it, but take time to choose who or whom you ask for help from, carefully. Many times, I find when I ask others, I’m usually always satisfied with what I hear or receive, but I end up right back to the place I started... within myself and listening to my higher self and the guidance of Spirit and my helpers. Sometimes we do need a little extra help and guidance, especially when we're so close to a situation and we're being blinded by our own energy.
When you need a pick me up, just remember ...
Dancing in the summer rain...
Watching the fireflies in the summer night breeze...
Hearing the sounds of laughing children and birds singing...
Seeing the beauty of the sky and the mountain tops...
And feeling blessed beyond measure when you take the time to love yourself and share that love with others.
Love and hugs always,
Mysti

It Never Happened - Magic Eraser Technique
(c) Dr. Laura De Giorgio
All of us make mistakes. That's part of a learning process and learning is
a life-long experience. As long as we live and breathe, we're bound to keep
on learning something new and we're likely to make some mistakes along
the way. Mistakes are not so much of a problem in themselves. They become
a problem when we hold onto them, when we get fixated onto them, when we become
attached to them as if they were great treasures, until they become so deeply embedded
in our minds, emotions, and bodies that they prevent us from fully enjoying the
present moment.
Perhaps you can think of some experiences in your life that you wish
never happened - experiences from the past to which you still feel in some
way mentally and emotionally attached, and even though they may be long
gone, they are unsettling you or even causing you some pain when you think
about them. The pain may be mental, emotional or physical (it may have even
expressed in a form of physical illness). It's nice to know that you have the
power to erase it - from your mind, emotions and body, from your energy
field as a matter of fact, as if it never happened, allowing you to more fully
enjoy the present moment.
The technique which I like to call "it never happened" or "magic eraser" is
the essence of all spiritual practices and plays a major role in shamanic
and esoteric practices. Sometimes it is labeled as the "practice of
forgiveness", sometimes as the "practice of emptiness". After all it's much
easier to build something new, something you'd desire to experience now,
starting with a clean slate, than upon the undesirable leftovers from the past.
There are varying degrees to the practice of this technique. They depend
upon your purpose for using this technique, upon your perception of the
world and therefore upon what you may feel is safe for you to let go of.
At the very basic level of application, what you are doing is letting go of
emotional attachment to some specific experience, which seems to be
the source of greatest pain and obstacle in your life. Some of the
applications may deal with healing hurt from broken relationships, or from
any other kind of loss, getting rid of addictions, and even recovering
completely from illnesses which are believed to be "incurable". "It never
happened" technique is the essence of "instant healing".
On a higher spiritual level of practice, for example, you'd practice letting
go of emotional attachment to everything that is "manifested", everything
that is not the "Source" itself. The feeling of safety in letting go of everything
in the material world comes from being aware (experientially, not just
intellectually) of the Source and shifting your sense of identity from your
physical body to your spiritual self, to the Source itself.
I will write more about forgiveness later on, but for now I'd like to mention
that forgiveness is not about encouraging or condoning hurtful behavior,
nor is it about shoving it under the carpet and forgetting about it. Forgiveness
is about letting go of the emotional attachment to the situation, behavior or
person that has caused you pain. If something or someone is causing you
repeated pain and you don't know how to deal with the specific situation,
you may completely remove yourself from it. Forgiveness is not about
letting yourself getting hurt over and over again. It is about letting go of
the ties that bind you to the past, about freeing the energy that is stuck in
the past, so that you can more fully enjoy your life now.
And in the same way, "it never happened" technique is not about shoving
unresolved issues under the carpet. It is about resolving them. It is about
clearing them, washing them away, dissolving them into nothingness, so
that you can use the freed energy to build the life you'd enjoy living now.
The resolution is ultimately about liberating your emotional energy.
If you just attempt to forget about the painful event, to hide it from your
awareness, to shove it deep inside you where you won't be aware of the
pain it's causing you, sooner or later it will seek to be expressed in some
way - and one of the most likely ways may be through some form of
physical illness. That's why when people suffer from some chronic health
problems, the moment they let go of past hurts and resentments, they
often experience spontaneous recovery. It is useful to know that any
hurtful feelings you hold onto are not doing damage to anyone else as
much as they are dragging you down. That's why it's important to let them
go.
You may have learned from your past experiences what you like to
experience in life, what you'd rather do without, what makes you feel
more alive, what drains your energy, who and what contributes to your
sense of wellbeing and happiness and who doesn't and you can arrange
your present life in accord with all that which you believe contributes to
your greatest sense of wellbeing. And as you do, you can just let go of
your emotional attachment to everything and everyone that doesn't
contribute to your sense of wellbeing. Fill your mind and heart, and
surround yourself as much as possible with that which makes you feel
good, and let go of the past.
The ways of practicing "it never happened" technique are as varied as
your imagination may allow. You may imagine a brilliant white light or
violet fire blazing through the situation you desire to dissolve. White or
violet light will dissolve all inharmonies from the situation, leaving only
that which is lovely, beautiful and harmonious. You can use them to heal
any condition. You will know when you are done because your feelings
toward that situation will change, the pain will be gone, sometimes even
within just a few minutes of practice.
You can also imagine having a "magic eraser" and erasing the problem
- this has worked well for some people working with addictions.
You can scan your body, by moving your awareness through your body
from the top of your head all the way down to your feet and noticing any
tense areas where blocked energy may be and imagine them dissolving
into nothingness. You may also just breathe through those parts of your
body, until the tension (or the pain) is gone.
This technique is sometimes use with physical injuries due to accidents
in a way that you repeat the motions that lead to the injury, but with a
desired ending. For example, if you accidently cut your finger with a knife
while chopping vegetables, you may repeat the motion with the knife, but
where it was intended to go in the first place, without touching your finger.
This will re-imprint the event in your subconscious mind and may instantly
stop bleeding.
If you desire to change some life-long condition, you can go back in your
memory all the way to the time before that condition happened for the first
time (even to the time of your birth or before) and re-live your entire life in
your mind as if that condition never existed in your life. You can at the same
time replace it with desired experience and re-live your life as if you had the
desired condition throughout your life. You should repeat this process as
many times as necessary until the desired condition has been firmly
impressed upon your subconscious mind and the effect is obvious in your
outer experience.
For example, if you are using this technique for healing of "incurable" illness,
you should keep repeating it for half-an hour, few times a day, every day,
until the problem is gone. If you really get wholeheartedly involved in this
process, you should notice visible improvement after each session.
This method of incorporating "it never happened" technique with "timelines"
is one of my favorite as it has helped me to get rid of some apparently
impossible to heal conditions in a very short period of time. If you need
more help to go through this process, you can use New History Generator
recording. Remember that the secret of the rapid success with self-hypnosis
is in your willingness and ability to experience your desired condition as if it
were real for you now, in your inner world, in your subjective experience.
Your outer experience merely reflects your subjective experience.

I finally went into labour at home after natural induction with jalapeno peppers and a dose of castor oil and orange juice! We had decided to do this as my due date was unclear.
Labour progressed slowly, I walked, ate, watched movies and mooched around trying to find a comfortable place to do contractions. I settled on a dresser with a pillow on top on which I leaned forward to help turn the baby from posterior to anterior, and to relieve backache.
After 27 hours (and plenty of sleep in that time) I had a good cry on my husband at 12 am and afterwards found new strength. At 4 am we called the midwife who had been back and forward to our house, and she said I could get into the birthing pool we had ready. It was wonderful, and I progressed in leaps and bounds after that. She arrived, and did all checks as well as continuing to encourage me to take sips of liquid as well as yoghurt. I was feeling incredibly powerful, connected to the spirit of womanhood, and continued to chant AAAAAUUUUUUUMMMMMM, (AUM), which really helped me focus.I then, at my midwifes sugesstion, changed that to deep breathing, channeling energy downwards, opening and releasing. I had an incredible urge to push, but an anterior lip, which had to be freed before I could, so breathed through the contractions a little more. I was still in the water, and just lifted my belly to be checked. My water had broken on one of my exams out of the pool.
The midwife prepared everything ready for delivery,and I began to push. It was wonderful. I was overwhelmed by the sensation and went with it, very much like body surfing, rather than being engulfed by the wave. In fact, I found contractions to be like that. I stood up, in hard labour, and said "This is so wonderful!". It was like rediscovering my true nature, my animal instinct, my power within. The baby's head began to emerge, and I felt it, and I think that was the first time I really believed there was a baby in there!
My body stretched naturally in the warm water, and her head appeared. We rested, her and me now waiting between our own worlds, her born yet unborn, me a maiden and a mother. Then another urge, and her body was out, free to stretch in the water yet still comfortable in her liquid environment. She was scooped into the midwife's loving hands,untangled from her cord, and lifted out into the air into my waiting arms.
We gazed into each others' eyes, she into her fathers eyes over my shoulder, and took in our new lives beginning. It was later we cut the cord, and suctioned the mucus she had still (family tradition, lots of mucus!). Unfortunately the placenta would not budge from its' cosy cave, so we tried all sorts to get it to shift. Almost three hours later, when it became apparent a trip to the hospital was becoming a possibility, we asked everyone to leave the room, and I sat on a birth stool. I willed it out, and my husband said, "you're opening again! Push it out!" And what do you know, out it came.
Then into my bedroom with my new family to take a well earned rest! We had done it, and it was more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.

Words of Wisdom
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.

The Whindleton Institute has been established in honor of my Mother, Marjorie Catherine Whindleton. The primary focus is the empower women through knowledge and one of the projects that is underway is for at risk youth between the ages of 10 and 18.
The Whindleton Institute is now publishing Spiral Dance News online and soon a hard copy issue which will be free to the readers as well. It will be distributed in the Greater Atlanta Region beginning in September 2004.
One of the ways that The Whindleton Institute is raising money is by selling fragrance oils which will be available online within the next couple of months.
