Fw: Saving Water, Eco-friendly Weddings, Green Autos and MORE!

The saving water article is very interesting. I might try the bottle in the toilet. It's a "green" thing to do without invasively (and expensively) changing my home.

Save Sixty Gallons of Water Without Missing a Drop With summer on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about how to keep your water usage in check; drinking more, filling up the kiddie pool, watering the garden, and hosing off sandy feet post-beach all mean a daily consumption that's much higher than in the winter. But trimming your H20 intake doesn't have to mean drastically changing your life. Small actions—like putting a gravel-filled bottle in your toilet tank or cutting shower time by a few minutes -- can save about 35 gallons of water each day, while mulching your garden provides a one-time payback of about 25 gallons. All together, you can save of loads water without ever feeling the heat.

Reading with my Grown Kids

Seems an odd choice for a pagan blog, right? Well, if you haven't learned by now from all my previous posts that being pagan is all-pervasive in one's life, I'm sorely disappointed. Okay, I'll explain for the new guys. At this time of year, most of us are shut inside, and many of us pick up some sort of hand craft, needlework, or project to do. Some, if not all, of us do this in front of the television. We may enjoy a movie, a favorite tv show, or worst of all just use it for subliminal background noise. Even I caught myself humming mindlessly to ad jingles the other day while I sorted out my needlework silks for an upcoming project. (shudder) My kids are mostly grown and gone, but one or two return to visit or even stay on a temporary basis. However, even over the phone one of our favorite activities is "storytime." Two of us are published authors, two are book reviewers, and all of us love to share what we read. Three of us are famous for "storytime...

The Sabbat of Imbolg

IMBOLG (FEB 2) A. HISTORY Imbolg is the Celtic name for the first Sabbat of the Wiccan faith, as well as some others who fall under the generic name of "witches". Imbolg is often known by other names, such as Candlemas, Brigid's Day, and a host of others. "Imbolg (pronounced `immol'g', with a slight un-stressed vowel between the `l' and the `g') which means `in the belly'. It is the quickening of the year, the first fetal stirrings of Spring in the womb of Mother Earth. Like all the Celtic Greater Sabbats, it is a fire festival-but here the emphasis is on light rather than heat, the strengthening spark of light beginning to pierce the gloom of Winter." (The Witches Bible Complete, hereafter abbreviated to WBC, pg.61-62) Brigid is a classic example of a pagan deity Christianized with little attempt to hide the fact- or, as Frazer put in the Golden Bough (p.177, approx.), she is "an old heathen goddess of fertility, disguised in a threadba...
