DRAGONFYRE WEEKLY - January 18, 2021

It's shaping up to be a strange winter here in Southern Ontario, to be sure. No real snow to speak of, and although it's a bit chilly, I haven't worn a coat yet. Mind you, there's a pandemic out there so I don't leave the house much, but whenever I poke my head outside it just doesn't seem that cold. The seasons are shifting, with each season coming later (it feels more like November than the usual dreary, icy, frozen wasteland of mid-January), but the summers are definitely hotter and the winters warmer. Even if it's a natural shift happening, I'm sure it's being helped along the way by humanity. I'm not preaching - just voicing an observation. We all need to try to be more thoughtful with our outputs and more respectful of The Great Mother.

The "Mystery Box" option is no longer available and the category has been removed. Although these are really my favorite ones to put together, and I thought people appreciated surprises considering the sheer number of subscription boxes available, it seems that the people who contact me don't quite understand the definition of 'mystery'. Every single person who has contacted me about my mystery boxes available on Ebay has asked for a list of contents and/or pictures of what's inside. Doing that defeats the purpose, beside the fact that once I have put together my boxes, taken all the appropriate pictures and listed for sale I package them up. Once they're listed, they're ready to go and cannot be opened again without damaging the packaging. It is for these reasons I've decided to remove the option from this site and will remove the listing from Ebay within the week.

On the bright side, I've been hard at work putting together sets of stones and crystals grouped together for specific purposes and intentions. There are currently eight different sets available, ranging in price from $20-$30, depending on how many and which types of stones are in each set. More sets will eventually be available, and these will only be around until this series sells out, so make sure you get them while you can!

2020 has been tough on all of us - why not add some emotional healing stones to your self-care rituals? Available for a limited time for only $20.

This week we’ve included a Lavender correspondence page for your Book of Shadows.
With shades ranging from pale blue to vibrant purples, there are over 400 identified varieties of Lavender, characterized into 45 different species. It's well known calming properties are what have attracted Witches to this wonderful plant for centuries.

Commonly used as an essential oil to help with everything from insomnia to treating burns, Lavender is actually part of the mint family. It is believed that it originates from India, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East starting from about 2500 years ago.
Another wonderful fact about Lavender is that the entire plant is edible, so the next time you're picking some from your garden to dry for your sachets and incense, try tossing a few flowers and leaves onto your afternoon salad.

Other notable associations for Lavender include those born under the Western Zodiac signs of Pisces and Virgo. Wednesday is a lavender day. It is associated with the elements of Air and Water, and Mercury & Neptune. Lavender is often used in offerings, rites, and rituals to the Goddess Selene.

You can find Lavender in our Witch Box I or one of our Herbal Starter Kits, both available now in the shop.

Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to receive the free printable BoS page for all the magickal uses and associations - they're only available to subscribers.

That’s it for this week, Lovelies! I’m glad you’re in the Fyre with me.
