Greetings!
So much has happened since the last monthly Newsletter. I have started the Glastonbury Free Festival of Light on Saturday 7th September. Check out who will be there on the website as below.
I have one place that has unexpectedly become available on the Herbal and Simple Remedies Workshop on Saturday 28th September, details below.
I have also given details on a talk at Cleeve between Bristol and Weston-super-Mare concerning the health of dogs. There is a great deal to learn.
Sadly I lost my last beloved greyhound Tex just over a week ago but it is too soon for me to start talking about my experiences with vets, good and bad.

I am offering workshops again and I have decided to facilitate this one from my home in Weston-super-Mare. There will be a maximum of 5 participants giving plenty of time for individual focus. One place left for Saturday 28th September 2013.
We will cover safe, simple and effective natural remedies including food as medicine, herbs, essential oils, spices, homeopathic and naturopathic remedies.

Everything will be backed up with some of my selected eBooks to provide a mass of information for personal and family use or for use by therapists and healers.

Agate
7 Vibration. Gemini. Physical
Agate is known as the "Strength Stone" and instils this quality both mentally and physically. Agate helps with conjunctivitis, gastric and stomach ulcers, bladder and intestinal inflammation and diseases of the uterus. Agate has also long been thought to help with skin diseases.
Mental/Emotional
Helps to eliminate inner anger and to promote inner peace. Enables you to foster Love and become more open to positive relationships. Agate is said to encourage fidelity in marriage. Helps you to become more perceptive. Encourages more logical and rational thought. Agate is also a grounding and balancing stone.
Spiritual
Helps and encourages you to "digest" life's experiences and thereby leads you on to spiritual maturity. Gives you a sense of reality.
Note: Adapted from Melody's 'Love is in the Earth' One of the best Crystal Books available in my opinion. I so love agate especially the banded ones, this stone can and is dyed but I do not feel that this destroys any of it's base properties and indeed it adds the vibration of the colour it is dyed.

Nuts really do protect against cancer and heart disease Yet more evidence this week that nuts are good for you. Eating nuts-and especially walnuts-three times a week will reduce your chances of dying from cancer or heart disease. Of course, it's hard to know what came first: do nuts make us healthier, or do healthier people eat nuts? Certainly, nut eaters seem to be more likely to follow the fruits-and-vegetables Mediterranean diet, have their weight under control, are less likely to smoke and are physically more active .
Nut eaters reduce their chances of dying prematurely by 39 per cent, and those who eat walnuts reduce their risk by 45 per cent, compared to a non-nut eater. The reduction rose to 55 per cent in those who ate one serving of 28 g of nuts three times a week. (Source: BMC Medicine, 2013; 11: 164).

"Trials, temptations, disappointments
all these are helps instead of hindrances,
if one uses them rightly.
They not only test the fiber of character
but strengthen it...
Every trial endured and weathered
in the right spirit makes a soul nobler
and stronger than it was before."
James Buckham - Writer, Author

A Modern Herbal, first published in 1931, by Mrs. M. GrieveBotanical: Ribes nigrum (LINN.)
Family: N.O. Saxifragaceae
Synonyms-Quinsy Berries. Squinancy Berries.
Parts Used-Fruit, leaves, bark, roots.
The Black Currant is occasionally found wild in damp woods as far north as the middle of Scotland, but is considered to be a true native only in Yorkshire and the Lake District - when found apparently wild in other parts of the country, its presence is due to the agency of birds. It is easily distinguished at all seasons by the strong perfume of its buds and leaves.
This shrub shows the only instance of a process by which double flowers may become single, by changing petals into stamina. It has a solitary, one-flowered peduncle at the base of the raceme, and its leaves are dotted underneath.
It was not so popular originally as the Red and Whitc Currants, for Gerard describes the fruit as being 'of a stinking and somewhat loathing savour.'
The berries are sometimes put into brandy like Black Cherries. The Russians make wine of them, with or without honey or spirits, while in Siberia a drink is made of the leaves which, when young, make common spirits resemble brandy. An infusion of them is like green tea, and can change the flavour of black tea. Goats eat the leaves, and bears especially like the berries, which are supposed to have medicinal properties not possessed by others of the genus.
Medicinal Uses Diuretic, diaphoretic, febrifuge.
The juice can be boiled to an extract with sugar, when it is called Rob, and is used for inflammatory sore throats. Excellent lozenges are also prepared from it.
The infusion of the leaves is cleansing and diuretic, while an infusion of the young roots is useful in eruptive fevers and the dysenteric fevers of cattle.
The raw juice is diuretic and diaphoretic, and is an excellent beverage in febrile diseases.
A decoction of the bark has been found of value in calculus, dropsy, and haemorrhoidal tumours.

Swallow Folklore & Mythology
For many, many years the Swallow has been considered a very welcome bird by people. It was a symbol of the spring awakening and revival of life. It is still seen as a spring messenger - a bird which arrival signals the end of winter in Europe. If Swallows nested in farm buildings, it meant well-being and good fortune for the owners. People believed that the presence of these birds protected farm animals from diseases and curses and buildings from fires. They were always very happy, therefore, to see the Swallows return.
Over the years, people observed these birds and explained their behaviour in different ways. Weather was predicted based on their flight: if Swallows flew low it meant a rain, but if high, beautiful weather was expected. As people didn't know a lot in former times about bird migrations, they explained disappearance of Swallows for the European winter in a very interesting way.
Before they depart, Swallows gather in groups of hundreds which stay together for the night in reeds on lake shores. They disappear unnoticed one day and therefore people believed that Swallows spent the winter under the ice at the bottom of lakes. Now people have much more information about bird migration and understand the Swallows' behaviour much better. Thanks to them we can protect these birds better. Every year we look forward to seeing Swallows in the spring sky. www.springalive.net

My Amazon Kindle Books
NOTE: I have started work on a new eBook on Simple Herbal and other Natural Remedies. I hope to finish this one my 20th by the end of the year. This will be the biggest that I have produced. This is proceeding well.
The following eBooks that I have put together are all available on Amazon Kindle. Most are either $1.23 or 77p. The one with the asterisk is $3.07 and £1.92 The UK price is governed by the dollar exchange rate so can fluctuate a little. I made the decision to price them very reasonably so they were accessible to all, preferring to sell lots for a little rather than at a premium rate. You don't need a Kindle as you can download to your PC and Amazon gives you the software immediately to do this. I was offering all these as eCourses and those who have bought them can still return your coursework to gain your Continued Professional Development (CPD) Point certificates. If any of you still wish to do any eCourses just contact me and we can arrange this.
