How Coven Names Are Chosen

I've had a few questions about how to pick a craft name. There are several ways from just picking a name you like to being given a name by the coven that suits your qualities. The most common way is through birth number. Though many find it confusing here is the best way to explain this. It is how I chose the name Alice. On coven documents I sign it with an extra "E" at the end but publicly I leave it off so no one gets confused by the pronunciation.

Uses of Astrology

"Astrology consists of a number of belief systems which hold that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world. In the West, astrology most often consists of a system of horoscopes that claim to explain aspects of a person's personality and predict future events in their life based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other planetary objects at the time of their birth. Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and the Indians,Chinese, and Mayans developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations."

Herbal Cold and Flu Remedies

So my family has had this nasty flu running around us, even though we all got flu shots in August! Here is what our doctor told us 1) the flu shot only covers 2-3 strains of the flu virus and you can still catch a strain not covered 2) sometimes the shots just don't work for what ever reason and 3) sometimes it's something all together and not a flu at all. Well that doesn't change the fact that we got something nasty going around! I don't know what's worse the older kids missing school and having to make up work or sick babies, either way it's not fun when mama is sick too! Here are a few things I have been doing here to help fight this crud off.
