Bleeding Heart, Entry for November 08, 2006

Bleeding Heart
(Dicentra spectabilis or D. formosa) X

Magickal Applications:

Gender: Feminine

Planet: Venus

Element: Water

Powers: Love

Magickal Uses: Crush the flower. If the juice is red, your love has a heart full of love for you. But if it is white, he or she doesn't love you. When grown, the plant brings love.

The bleeding heart, when grown indoors, has the reputation of producing negative vibrations. To forestall this, plant a coin in the soil and all will be right.

Yahoo has done it again!!! Entry for August 11, 2006

Yahoo has marked yet another of my blogs as MATURE CONTENT!!! I have made sure to mark everything even remotely resembling MATURE CONTENT with a MATURE RATING since the last time they e-mailed me about this. They send an e-mail with no information about which blog they are referring to. Am I supposed to guess what they consider UNSEAMLY??? WHEN WILL THEY LEARN WHAT IS ART, NOT PORN????

I will be marking ALL FUTURE ART as MATURE CONTENT to shut them up!! Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause any of you!!

No, deal with their idea of MATURE CONTENT!: 5
Don't really care either way!: 0

Shoney, Entry for August 11, 2006

SHONEY

(Scottish, Irish, Manx) Though the Shoney are now thought to be sea faeries living off the coast of Scotland and Northern Ireland, they were once personified as a single God of the North Sea. Documentation exists showing that local fishermen continued to offer libations of ale to him as late as the nineteenth century.
