I dreamed all night of dancing! Fun, light steps..
Some weird Romanian gypsy dance.

It was the Romanian woman who was one of my last people, she kept talking and talking...
I have spoken to many many people over the years and  yesterday, this one Romanian woman my age came in and she talked and talked and talked. I liked her but she can't come over and hang out. I do not hang out, there is always work to be done here. Clean up is a main thing in skin care making.
How about the red head who stinks of Jane Carter products..she kept trying to hug me and I frikin let her because she is old and mean and broken and thinks she is right and she is but a delicate creature.. I swear she gets smaller every time I see her..

"anastasia, do not give those people your phone number!!"

I do, sometimes they get in for a year and then you know me..all mayhem!

They get their feelings hurt because I am not there for them like at the store they shop at..
I have to let them down, it is not always easy.
I am convinced that there is a cast system and they cannot convert their loyalties from themselves and so they carry that to the "friendship" I might be a part of that structure there..

I might, hold myself higher and they cannot reach because all they do is shop and nothing else. They do not have any creative endeavors beside being sugar free, gluten fee and vegan, paleo and for sure have allergies to everything including patchouli but they still insist on buying from me knowing I specialize in patchouli products! I have my limits, see?

Us, everyday in many ways, and you must  know this, even if ten days or years go by, we are thinking of each other and you and me, we are actually connected.
You care about me in a way that is not intrusive  or somehow conveys a need to be be more special and more in need of special care. And I will always care about you the same way..connected, gracious, no expectations!
There are no tantrums between real friends!

intelligence in the real world

"so far as I can remember, there is not one word in The Gospels in praise of intelligence."
Bertrand Russell

In continuation with my rants and questions of our humanity and all that good stuff..here we are, in light of new light and new ideas springing forth like a seductress, all fresh and clean and pretty..


My uncle died. Great guy and wonderful person/ He loved me for some odd reason! I loved them all  so much, my cousins. I could be free there, no one beat me..funny I remember that now. I spent summers there with my cousin Fanitsa who taught me about fashion and the night life in Lansing Michigan. We danced our guts out!
Yes, to Theo Stavros!
 I sang songs of the "macaria" which touch the heart and get the blood pumping and tears of both joy and sadness of loss and every day life mean really nothing, we ARE actually powerless like the chants say over and over. LOL
My mother's main concern besides grieving, was that I do not shame her by wearing bad clothes like boots that are masculine. I mean I have big feet, do you want me to squeeze in to delicate shoes? I bought some from Amazon to please her and I bought a proper dress!
Funerals are expensive for all. They bought the coffin on line. :))
We are so wealthy and happy and yet when the 50 people sat down to eat and the talking on the stand started.. I am hearing how bad we are and how we are in bad spiritual shape as a country and nation.
I wished I could stand up and say things but I remained silent. It was their thing and that is that.

Bad off? Are you kidding me??



look at me
look at me

we are not shitty
stop saying that!
we are not destroying our spirituality
we are not burning women alive
we are not torturing men in the town square. ( my grandfather by Nazis)

America is not in trouble. yes that Trump guy, his secretaries of whatever, I don't care about them! 
I could get pot before that guy ever came around and he wants to take it away, now? Ass.. he lets big pharma make opiates by the billions and jails the herb growers.
 He is dumb but he is one guy who is going to die with his outworn ideas like those religious ayatollahs in Iran! Still,  imagine a world like that all over Earth! We fought hard and long to not have that tyranny!


Seriously we are not big trouble.
we have hot water
clean floors
food
more food
no fields to till and  sew and process for storage...
it is hard and most would die as we are 9 meals away from chaos for sure..
science ensures us that there is plenty to eat and whole foods near by where the green lentils are organic and cheap in any store!

we are well dressed for our weather
how many geese does it take to make one of those coats no one had to hunt down and kill pluck and sew in to waterproof material? I think it is 12.


I am going to leave you with this story of a pope of ancient times like around 340 ad...

So this temple of monks refused to use unleavened bread for their liturgy and they were told over and over, "do not use unleavened bread"!
Well, the  main archbishop or I do not think they were even called that yet,  to follow God's laws.. he  went over there with some thug priests and such ilk  and they tied them all 12, to horses and dragged them through the streets till they died..

Yea, we do not do that any more!

We have so much good so much affluence and so much drama on the telly..

"witch hunt"
Really?
Let us talk about a real witch hunt?
Not because a bunch of men get their feelings hurt when their dirty secrets become social media!

"witch hunt"?

Not really

No

champaca patchouli patchouli patchouli

let us attend...


I bought a wee bit of champaca from eden botanicals and made a hair potion that smells like candy.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/585641203/reverance-and-imbolc-champaca-hair?ref=shop_home_active_4
Like a white flower far away, its perfume coming in waves with the breeze..too much?

Now, my girl, she wants a patchouli champaca or did I hear her wrong?

The verbena and sea weed soap turned out really good and smells, let me say, as it should. Litsea is so sharp to me and yet I get close to this one and I do get the deeper notes..verbena, is delicate acting, she is!

My next thing is something cozy for the next few months of winter here in Northern Michigan. It is warm and then ice at night.
Soap will be made as I am looking forward to more woodsy things.
Cedarwood, pine, fir, spruce, patchouli, clove...mmmmm
A nice warm comfy spot after your shower and you feel warm and cozy and clean all over with a hint of spice, it is so so nice..

My ideas flow as springtime becomes something soonish..

How about this..
coriander patchouli red mandarin
with this and that...
nutmeg
black pepper
oak moss
vetiver


You know what I want, I want archaic rock looking blocks of hunkin good smelling soap nugs that have weight. I also look forward to my new soap stamp to go with my archaic old whore looking soaps and products.

The packaging is not always the same okay..I do love those new pumpy oil  bottles though!
We need more of those. I think the four ounce  for the gele' balms would be nice. They are three bucks a piece, where the jars have been one dollar each till now, that is why good price points right?

Sometimes I get seduced by a serving vessel, mostly, you'll get amber or blue because of the deals I encounter. I want to put as much of the good stuff inside.

Oily scrubs are out babes. I can't and so are bath salts, no..the scrubs can leak, not always but they will leak and then you get an oily label and I loose sleep. LOL
I don't loose sleep. I make the label so you can just take it off.


I love soap making so much. Today I am fixing to make these delicious treats and then I will sleep so good.

old whore imbolc

This is my offering for Imbolc this year. There will be a soap and oil for this blend and it will be pretty basic and stinky as usual. :)

Here is my recipe and I hope you like it.

blood orange
bergamot
rose
jasmine grand
patchouli
tonka
vanilla


No oakmoss or labdanum for this batch. The tonka will replace the oakmoss and  give us a new horizon  which she can bask in a reflection of..I do think I said it right.
The jasmine is what I really want to highlight. It should be sultry and make you a little be shall I say, misty with carnal yearnings?
Okay I will.

Jasmine grand awakes things in a woman may have been  been secretly storing.
Jasmine grand is able to penetrate the deepest rooty and intense parts you you. jasmine is the secret goddess with in. Soft, moist, powerful and a little dirty!
Men are interestingly few and far in between who love her..good then, we only want the ones who are willing to explore her transitions in to the underworld.and  the weak and strong forces of womanhood  say her name baby!
What can I say, I love the transformations she acquires for me..Jasmine

The rose here along with patchouli really offers more that a mid point and together just those three ingredients would be enough for any chypre enthusiast. Is it still a chypre is the oakmoss and labdanum are omitted? I say, "yes". I do what I want and I really want that it should make you very happy. I want that very much.

I am making labels now and it is always a meditation and not to be rushed.
I also want to thank you for all of the support in sales and if anything leakes, i will replace it!

Persephone Goddess of Spring

even the most brilliant and rare stars that are born, die.after all..some are even more than extraordinary...some well grounded burn  low and slow.



 Persephone

I mean what really happened down there with Hades,  that she ate some juicy fruit and then she now has to go back there and stay four months while things go dry up here on earth?
Dry and cold and dead. Because her mother cried so hard she forgot to tend the important things like her plants for survival of humanity?

Greek mythology is great.  The story of Heracles or Hercules is is one for sure. In movies, they left out the part where he killed his kids before his great feats..jeez! Golden fleece my ass, it just looks that way in the sun, dummy! All they were were, golden haired sheep!

 Persephone was alone with her flowers when Hades took her raped her because he could and her mom cried because her daughter was abducted.
Wait!
When they finally find her all comfy she has already eaten of the food of the underworld which are four pomegranate seeds.

I can see the rituals here. my mom kicked over a glass of wine when we left Greece for the last time to live here on the best little place on earth.

 I am sure Persephone  ate more than four little seeds. that guy was hot.

 In real life rapists are not hot!

We should hear her story..sadly, we know she willingly went back  for 4 months every year, after her duties to her mother Demeter , as they were both in charge of food on Earth..Food and Flowers! This tells me a lot!

Mothers need to let go. Stop over mothering and make sure you  tell your girl to carry a knife.  Then again this Hades fellow was a god.

Hades may  have asked her, she may have lied about the whole thing and said to her mother that he took her instead she willingly went because his skin and hair smelled all musky and warm.  His cloak was inviting and he had only eyes for her it would seem.  these ideas, I  ponder on.

We can even say that by today's standards, we should not judge past beliefs. We really should.

Four Months of the year to ponder on
 to plan and to pull the roots and debris that gets caught 
rip them out and clear a path to the sun shiny happiness which you always deserve
four months to stop and rest and first and do what aught be :)) carried on :))
four moths a year to tidy up your tidings and say kind words leading kinder thoughts you might be hiding.

double standards and saturn neck shoulders hips and toes

I stated studying the planets around the age of 12, and at 16 or so I knew saturn would be my planetary companion in this life. I love that huge fukker!

As time in all its aspects converts every part of energy be it in a split second or billions of years of reconstruction and less volatile  events..like when earth was all lava and then it all froze up..we were not even here then.
Now we are pretty safe, I mean 4 billion years of adjusting is something. We did have a meteor come through here in Michigan the other day  and in a flash of a second it broke up.
This is something to note because you think some things are so important. Critical even! Until a burning ball from the sky tears it all apart!
This time of course, the rocks were supper small.
This time. We are well protected by Saturn and Jupiter, our gas giants who kind of take it before we do. It all goes somewhere though. This time, the day after the meteor, we heard so much about aches and pains. Hips, neck and knees..
all saturnian ideas.. I wonder what kind of very subtle forces would be responsible for that out breaks of inflammation and more pain in the joints? Your joints should be fluffy and dank like a good flower!

The hips which must carry you forward..yes the hips! The hold your spine and that big ole head you need to carry around.
What are you willing  to stop carrying and can you stop and unload some burdens?
What are you willing to allow because your stubbornness is making your neck hurt. Shoulders cannot support your neck this way and now you must let people be. The neck is about knowing you are right and others not knowing you are right! You are up right so hold your head high! It is also about being stuck in a past way of life and beliefs that do not work!

The toes and bottoms of the feet. yes!

cold winter and saturn again with pluto ideas and psychic vampires in the realm

" god, why have you driven me in turbulent waters?"
"because your enemies can't swim."
(if he can make a water turbulent, then why not just make everyone happy healthy wealthy and wise?)





All day people are like, "anastasia, is mercury retrograde?"
Even the muggles feel the attractor,  this magnetic force that controls and pulls you, drives you and basically here we are and if you look at us like we look at ants, bees, the evolution while complex, is still kind of a swarm.. (Saturn Pluto)They have a great attractor and it is based on hormone and scent..even smaller that what we as humans have found to be happening in us!
I am no philosopher. and certainly I am no scientist..ha!

Saturn Pluto
Know this..always do what is best and do your best and don't skip and skim and be cheap to your self.
Be free to think things through because in this phase of a new world order there will be more equality and observation of clear injustice to other humans living on earth. If I had it my way and the gods were real, ha! I mean he is willing to drown everyone... everyone ...everyone, because they didn't follow his OCD rules  but someone one splitting uranium atoms in our oceans and he is okay..some one burning humans alive for more than two thousand years and he is loving us now?
The things we make up!





" god, why have you driven me in turbulent waters?"
"because your enemies can't swim."

It sounds okay, right?
No!
If the gods were real, your god, my god were real, why create the scenario in the first place?
Why create an enemy who can't swim?
Why not just make better friends and not blow up the planet and make us breathe broken atom dust!
I can't help but wonder about these things.

And back to my mythology...
With Pluto in this scenario it is always about leaving some burdens behind. You don't have to carry peoples angst. They will try to unload and control you with it. You must know the limit of how much time you can just doll out to anyone who needs for you to touch them.
It can be on the smallest level. If you are feeling even a little apprehensive, then you must act on it and not let weakness guide you.
Pluto can, with Saturn bring you down to a lonely place and there you must embrace the loneliness and make something of it.
Pluto can bring vampires  who may need to be driven out. It is your choice how long you will tolerate them.
You have limits and sometimes it hurts peoples feelings..yea..boundaries.

the next thing to do

It has been a few busy days and I want to say "hello" and thank you!
I do feel blessed but not because I always am and  yet in spite of obstacles, it is my best year ever.
I am constantly challenged and my reactions are not always elegant.
You are too. I know this because we have a very strong connection going on.

It is our humanity and anger in people that concerns me most days.
"There are no sides okay" I want to say. The earth is round so you do not have to take a corner. There are many who have no choice and as much as you think you have a choice, you do and don't.
You have a choice to be kind and actually supportive.

That means do not be a secretive arrogant jerk all day and then say you love me.
Right?

This goes for friendships and work relationships.
The constant nitpicking over the what you might perceive are great things shows me that you have to change your focus because you are missing the point. So immersed you may be on that one thing.
The thing is, when you become toxic to others and effect their lives, this is when you missed the point. We have all done it. Moods man, they are vampires!

My excellent way of living and wanting is this, "you must begin from fullness before you can take away"

Fullness of creative endeavors that do not leave you in a rut of always defending your reasons for doing what you do.
Fullness to your favorite best things and then you can sort and take away.
Fullness in favor and not distrust
Fullness in contentment and happiness and not in lust of unrecognizable notions of what is good and what is real and what you hold so dear.

What do you hold dear?
Me?
Today?
Thank you:)


I hold you dear!
:)

remember the gnarly bitch in a new way

The Gnarly Bitch is  a cream that I made when I lived in Kentucky... back in the day..
My hands, see, for self therapy, I pulled grape vines out of the woods and cut them down and my hands were so strong nand gnarly, worked,  rough and ready. I cried and ripped them down at the same time.
To this day that is so. About my hands. I am done trekking in deep woods to play. Gnarly, minus the rough stuff now and minus the tears.:)


Soap is dirty business friends and there is always clean up and the anointing which is the best part.

 Even today in the retail business soap becomes a big deal and who gets the best spot. It is always the big guy. Look at the popularity of goat milk soap..
Look at me! I can't do it. I have tried, believe me! I have many reasons and way better fat  options.

It is time to make creams. Everyone wants lemon cream and vanilla cream, I want a grapefruit cream too..we will see.
I will use the last of that shea I have from the chicks in Ghana and make some good stuff.

Ideas for  every day lotions should be simple because you want soft  tones which will blend well with other things you might want to put on later. That is why the basic vanilla cocoa cream is fabulous and that's why people now want more lemon cream. Simple pure, and good for you.
Perfect for any one and even babies.I love skin care so much.
That is why I am thinking of past recipes for face products, like a good scrubber. Like a good cream.


Gnarly Bitch from memory~
The gnarly bitch was nice and I can never make her that way again. I cannot. I did write down the recipe in a booklet which is here somewhere..let us begin from memory..

cocoa butter
a bit of shea
organic jojoba for a silky silky feel
a drop sesame  receiving the golden rays which heal and give
a bit of beeswax
to hold when there is sway
a bit of rose, okay more, radiate open heart to best things
otto
bulgarian of course
a bit of vanilla
patchouli,
to spark an awareness with in me and hopefully now you
to exhibit graciousness instead of sorrow
to pull hard on the rough fibrous vines of angst and regrets which hold you back
get in to the woods of your heart and rip down the chocking thoughts and habits which claim they support you
tear them down and watch as the light comes through

looking at the tenth house capricorn saturn jupiter venus more

when I was a young woman and studied astrology with Robert, at Mayflower
http://mayflowerbookshop.com
I was very interested in my own chart and how the numbers work. I did all the math by hand and now I just don't need to, what with the computer apps you can get to delineate your own path.
It is real to me still in many ways, still. I have evolved to be an atheist witch and will not can not go back to myths  legends and certain fixed ways to live and believe.
I do not believe. I observe. it is the best way for me to go through and sort through the information of my own humanity.
That being said...
The tenth house is amazing and bad.(sorry, nothing is as sweet as you and I would like)) Honey, manuka, yes!
It can be humans ganging up on what the perceived as weak or not right for their perfect picture  of what you should be to them.
It is based on many factors that have nothing to to with astrology and yet, how how does Saturn pop up to ruin ones day each time while Jupiter tries to calm and quench and say "hey listen to me, you are a tyrant right now and no one wants to live by your ill logical ideas which could be secretly steeped and ruled by wealth, misogyny, male mysteries" and of course the one no one wants to bring up because it is bitchy, the old lady..
Ageism is real friends and I for one never thought I would be saying it it.
Look at how we are perceived  in movies and such..
ha!
The witch with in, is what I will reach for..and will observe now,  The master of numbers and who is prodding? The queen of hearts and who is draining your juices so hard that ice queen is near?
The real not so mystery, is that the witch before you, can see right through all your fears. That is my personal for what ever "godly" reason,  talent. It is a gift each one of us has a chance to reach for.because what you are afraid of with be in touch and soon. It will follow up, see?
You get sacred because being a high thinker and concerned about excellence, you may react to made up words  in such a way you had never expected. You know I will say it, the words  others are afraid to breach because of some made up conduct. I am not saying you should cut peoples heads of with a sword. I am however, a libra tenth house person and for sure there will be knives, and blades..lol
ah tenth house you you gift me with wonderous changes..


How about you lovies?
What tenth house issues are you having to sort through and be responsible for?

how to be great without being pompous astro news and ideas tenth house capricorn pluto

See how everything points to the top corner..yes indeed! Work, your identity at work, your deep thoughts about work and taking care of things one at a time.

Look and notice the opposition between the Uranus in the first house and the Moon there in Libra almost too alone except for the reflection of the world in a whole new way.

Look at world leaders with all their pompous rock throwing  at each other with regards to which groups is better now.

Is it the Liberals socialism gone bad in Venezuela? Yes It is not socialism when there is a dictator! Read a book and not the bible which is all socialism with a dictator who is always watching!

Is it the rock throwing at the democratic socialism directed at Bernie Sanders and other politicians who propose more government aid for schools and making a better humnan race not some dumb fuk dictator holding all the money and food from the people who had no choice about him anyhow, or do they? No, they do not!

Look at the attorney general in charge right now here in the USA!

 A racist, super mean guy who wants to turn over states rights on marijuana and I keep learning about more things that this guy believes and yet, Donny, gives him a job to speak for us!

We observe and we are held captive by their control of our lives.

Look at the two planets in the ninth trying to achieve in a new environment.. Jupiter just having entered the realm and venus following which to me brings out women's rights and a higher form of understanding of how we treat each other.

Are we free?

All these planets (focus, reflection, serious mind, work loads)with Uranus kind of our there reminding us how easy it is to become militant! How easy it is to spy on each other and be self righteous..or how it is so easy to think you are chosen for better things..

choose yourself right now and don't fool around with your health.

I am going to tell you something. I am holistic, I will use homeopathy and herbs to get better. 

I will not let my health dwindle in search of "naturopaths who are far and few in between and a three year course does not a doctor make. 

People will say, I am a healer, I try..

an infection is an infection..do not deny the facts is what I  am saying.

Look, please do not take me wrong. I love talking with many a smart natural path like when they come to do lectures and speak about their passion for learning about the body! Yes!! I get excited because I understand more about how our cells work. I love it! A holistic doctor though..I am saying this, find one that knows the facts and then make a decision on what needs done. A holistic doctor must know when a herb cannot kill a bacteria to its fullest like in the teeth(saturn) and the bones will break down and no amount of alfalfa will stop aging..just look a flower's life..she thrives in the sunshine and makes her seeds for the future her...mmm

Everything is work. Everything is leaning or having learned a new way to do it.

Uranus in Aries is about crossing boundaries and leaving the past behind..take with you what is useful because we are moving to the 11th house..

here is my 11th house poem of the day

you say that you are a centerist

there is no such thing

you teeter here and there

because it is so natural like that

one foot the one way and  you are already working to be steady 

did you know perhaps, that you are under all that stuff holding it all with you shoulders instead..

passion is great, yet, takes no real skill, desire, that is a whole other  thing

my talent is that:)

I want many things

Saturday is Saturn's day

I do flip flop on how my mind works and that is why I get so anxious when I become aware of trips and glitches. I will say this to you in my quiet voice with has much weight. I am a warrior and will slay things one by one. I will think about and say these  things as I go, like a check list a pilot would use,  so that I do not have to remember what I said because each movement each thought takes time and space and what we do in that time and space is how we get to live.

Imbolc is up on us! xxxxxxxxx

I love love love love it!!
This is the best time for plan, I meant to say "Plan".
clean up
cuddle
learn good things
pay better attention
pay bills
get money back
make investments in you future self
do more yoga
eat more fiber
Saturn aspects love fiber and more water (if I were honest, I would say, every aspect loves water and fiber)


There are many magical innuendos as to what plants are ruled by Saturn..
http://christopherpenczak.com/planetary-magic-7-saturn-karma-and-protection/#.WlCnOVunHcc

these stood out for me;
moss
tonka bean
tobacco
skullcap
burdock
beets

Beets..yummy, with olive oil and lemon and salt and pepper, roasted for about an hour..eat them!
Have a warm day, it is so cold out there this morning.

super moon effects and other astrological non things to think about in forcasting

I do not forcast for people. I do not know what kind of year your sign will have.
I like patterns and trends in life and I cannot divine for any one person but as far as what humans will be trending based on their habits and thangs..I might have some insights, insignificant in to what Trump will do with that Korean Kim fellow..
What a bunch of asses men can be. And it is never enough where they go, "okay, I am going too far now."
Nope, the ego see, and men forget that every other ass dictator died before them some brutally and yes, big mouth, big head and penis size for sure must play in to it.
So transparent men can be.
The pene' they are obsessed. One guy I know, is always adjusting and well, "obsessed" is all I can say about that.
"Pride goeth before the fall!"
They do not say  that for no reason. Before one takes one's last breath, I wonder if they then cry out "no, please, let me stay in this meat suit and be in pain just because I know my own awareness!"

I do not want to dwell too long on men's issues because woman are what I am.
That full moon made me think a lot about plans and big future moments where I will deal with what I am doing right now.

Each person has only so much to work with and the rest of their time here,  they have to hunger for and risk things like feelings and expectations, the heart and where they really stand in the life they live!
I wish that our lives  could be so precise like a Thomas Keller recipe. I am sure he has his shabby moments somehow, maybe.
He calls his place, The French Laundry! I wonder if it is  because it is so clean and just perfect. Like his food"))
A Libran he is!
Ahh...
Yesterday I made his version Croque Madame! His techniques are spotless, man! Delicious! You have to make your own Brioche at least one time to truly appreciate his touches.
Might as well put your mind to something serious like perfecting. your skills which really do matter and this whole thing with the way commerce is going, I say embrace it and take what you can from each experience.


Public speaking can be a risk

trolls

angry mob

irrational mob

irrational beliefs

truth unfolding

more understanding

one earth

one

by buy bye three ways but there is only one "hello"

hello
sunshine on my head
hello beginning to think about each day getting just a bit more sunny
hello
the feeling of darkness fleeting with each moment and then
the warm
the planning and the sweetness in life which is spring, then the splendor of summer..
I think about summer
but not too much because rushing things is never the best thing

Planning now with some rare poppies this year and I will put more fruit trees in the back and how I would love birch all in the front so that it can thrive here  and spread itself just right.
All those things I think about.


Soap and oils and how we evolve is where I am at with future me.
 Skin Body Mind
My formula is perfect and I must say, never have I loved aromatherapy more than this.
This week, I am making tropical bliss soap which is a beautiful rich citrus with ylang ylang where you'll get lime and blood orange, tangy lemons..spicy ylang ylang adding her seductive attractors!
mmmm
Citrus in deep winter is the best thing to raise the mood and make one smile. Ylang ylang is euphoric and pleasant in  this delicious shea butter soap.
Tropical Bliss
Like a sweet satsuma and a tea, like warm slippers on your feet
like sweet smelling skin near you neck line
or a dusting of sandalwood as you hand something over from your oils which anoint you
like how you leave someone thinking with each word you say
how your own personal magic spells are what you sway easily and wisely refraining from sometimes everyone
everything
It is january
so so cold

so
here we are
always remembering all that
