Known
Out of the dark
Out of the shadows
Out of the closet
Stand and be known…
Draw down the moon
Cast the energy
Work the magick
Stand and be known …
Fear be gone
Hatred is shed
Dread is released
Stand and be known …
Know who you are
Accept who you are
Walk your path
Stand and be known….
For you are daughter & son
For you are sister & brother
For you are a Witch
Stand and be known…..
—JoAnne Spiese, A Witch’s Prayerbook
We had a lot of members respond to the post I made about the site that was stealing everything we owned. I wanted to up-date you real quick. I have turned him over to every possible site that deals with individuals like this. One in particular is the DMC. I filed a report with them. Then they send a notice to the site and give that site a certain time period to remove our material. If the site refuses, the DMC removes the material and also places a warning on that site. I also filed another complaint through WordPress.org. The WordPress that we deal with is a .com and there is also a .org site. I had emailed WordPress.com and we have always had a fantastic relationship with them. They gave me several useful links to pursue and apologized there was nothing they could do because it was the WordPress.org.
I believe what will get our material off his site is that I found out his name, address, phone number, country he is in and also his ISP address. Come to find out he is located in Pakistan. I don’t know if you know it or not but Pakistan has a law against witchcraft. So little old me notified a part of the Pakistan government that controls their internet. I informed the government that there was a Pakistan site that was publishing witchcraft material on it. I gave them everything they needed to know. I was assured by the representative that this matter would be addressed promptly.
Right now, it is a wait and see game. Wait and see who get him first! Perhaps you think we went to extremes but I don’t. Like I stated yesterday, we have done this for 15 years and we have never run into someone with such gall. It just hit me like this person thought he could do anything he wanted, no matter what. I hope he has learned one thing, it is not happening here. If after all this, we don’t get our material removed from his site, I will be taking up donation for a ticket to Pakistan. I bet you never would have guessed this made me mad as an old, wet hen.
I am going to stop or else I will be fuming again. I do want to thank all of our members that made comments to him on his site. Also the many suggestions that we received from you. I appreciate you banding with us during the situation. It is wonderful to know that you have such people ready to jump to your aid when needed. Never, ever forget we truly do love you.
Now, let’s get this show on the road….
Love,
Lady A
Here are a few more raw ingredient orientated at-home spa recipe ideas. Using a combination of fruit, tea, eggs, honey, and other easy to obtain natural products, these simple steps allow you to experience personal care-time at home. The recipes definitely follow a more herbal way, which keeps things easy and on the affordable side.
Despite the fact that things can get messy, I personally find enjoyment in mixing together the various ingredients and seeing how they feel between my fingers, and start to work. That and, from personal experience, I believe all natural beauty products work and feel much better than those synthetically derived, and these raw ingredient recipes use stuff straight from the source!
So here are they:
Instructions: Combine the ingredients in respective proportions in a blender or in a bowl, and use each according to its purpose. For the last recipe, I recommend for 1 cup of Epsom salt, 1/4 cup of essential oil (and you may not even need that much depending on how big your bath is).
Some people say cooking is chemistry. Spa recipes may not be that different!
What raw ingredients do you like to use (or like to see used) in beauty products?

If you like using herbalism in your beauty regimen and are interested in learning more recipes or learning about “facial yoga”, check out this fun e-book:
Lleaon’s Anti-aging Beauty Secrets – DIY skin care recipes, aromatherapy, herbs, and facial yoga.
Authored by Lleaon Rao, it is worth a look through, and I personally recommend it as a keeper 
having learned much about the usage of various ingredients through her and my own knowledge of ethnobotany.
For more on essential oil uses, check out Eupterra Foundation’s series.
