Welcome to this Weeks edition of Whispers of A Stone Circle. Some of you might be wondering why the name. It actually has to do with the fact that I have a stone circle in my herb garden. Well, actually more like surrounding it and that is where, as long as the weather isn't freezing, I do my rituals. It's a very calming magickal place for me so alive cause of the herbs. I've had it for a couple years and hope next year to add even more variety to it. I can already feel my husband cringe over that since last year I spent about 100 dollars on plants and seeds But I love growing my own herbs for incenses and oils. There is just something special herbs you have raised yourself. Sheila K. Watkins Webpage: Subscription & unsubscription information: Submissions: Zeliziw@n... Sphinx Oil By Sheila K.
