For years, the magnificent yellow-green Peridot has been neglected as a lesser gem because it is tiny, easily produced, and relatively inexpensive; it is frequently simply considered the August birthstone. For centuries, its popularity has risen and fallen. However, a recent revival is bringing to light what Peridot enthusiasts have long known: this is a genuinely exceptional stone. The Gemological Institute of America has dubbed peridot “the extreme gem,” and it is one of only two gems—the other is diamond—that are born of fire and brought to light by the powerful forces of earthquakes and volcanoes. While these Peridots are...
The term “meditation” refers to a state of relaxation and concentration in which your body and mind are consciously calm. In addition to heightened awareness, attention, and concentration, many who practice this art form report having a more upbeat attitude toward life.

Beltane (Halloween) is historically a period when the curtain between our world and the Fae is thin for many Pagans. Unless they needed something from their human neighbors, the Fae in most European folktales kept to themselves.

They often reach a height of 1-3 meters, and their huge bipinnate leaves and large compound umbrellas of white and greenish-white flowers are their most notable features. They are mostly used medicinally and are primarily found in China. Numerous distinct insect species pollinate their enormous, glittering starburst flowers, and each species’ floral fragrances are unique. The roots and rhizomes of Angelica contain the plant’s active components, furocoumarins, which render skin sensitive to...
Yule, a Pagan tradition, is celebrated on the winter solstice, which falls on or around December 21 in the northern hemisphere (above the equator). Below the equator, the winter solstice falls around June 21. A remarkable occurrence takes place in the skies above us on that day. In the Northern Hemisphere, the earth’s axis tilts away from the sun, and the sun is furthest from the equatorial plane. In many places around the world, winter festivals are actually times to celebrate the light. In addition to Christmas, there are many other holidays, such as Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and others, all of...
