This is a quote from the book, Why I Adore the Night, by Jeanette Wilterson: " I have noticed that when the lights are on, people tend to talk about what they are doing --their outer lives. Sitting round a candlelight or firelight, people start to talk about how they are feeling --their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less, there are longer pauses."
JANUARY RAFFLE 2023
Our New Year 2023 Raffle is a set of 6 handmade '100% pure' beeswax dinner candles. They produce a bloom, which is a snowflake looking film over the pure beeswax. This is a sign of purity and is cherished by beeswax candle connoisseurs. Pure beeswax candles purify the air because they release negative ions as they burn, eliminating dust, and other toxins from the atmosphere. They also burn longer and hotter than paraffin candles, and their light is the same spectrum as the sun. This is why people find candle light so relaxing and calming, and they give off a beautiful natural scent. These candles are 11" x 7/8 ".
THE WINNER IS INV 1992

AUGUST RAFFLE
Nothing can take the place of coffee. That's a fact. But there are a number of herbal alternatives worth experimenting with. This month we have your choice of two different ones: Ayurvedic Roast or Teechino French Vanilla. Ayurvedic Roast is non-acidic, contains no caffeine, and it has ingredients that are antioxidants and that promote relaxation. Aside from roasted rye, barley and chicory it contains Ashwagandha [sy that 3 times fast], Brahmi, and Shatavari. Just low boil for 5 minutes or use a percolator or drop coffee machine. You can blend the Ayurvedic Roast to smitherieens and then strain it. Teechino has organic carob, chicory, ramon seed, and vanilla. The French Vanilla flavor is our favorite.
We'll be experimenting with others such as Instant Mushroom Coffee, and Mocha Mushroom Whey and may have another raffle with our favorite custom blend of different herbal coffees.
We hope that the winner of this month's raffle enjoys Ayurvedic Roast.
JULY RAFFLE
JULY RAFFLE
This month's raffle is good for you. Seaweeds have lots of trace minerals and B12 as well as iodine which is good for your thyroid.
What is included: Roasted Nori Half Sheets, Dulse Flakes, and Kelp.
Dulse flakes and roasted nori are great on baked potatos, pizza, popcorn, salads, etc. You can crumble and sprinkle on things you like to eat. If you are feeling adventurous you can make nori rolls.
Kelp, though, is not for sprinkling on food. You soak a medium size piece piece or two overnight, then take a small piece, cut it up in strips. and blend it very well with anything you are drinking. It has no taste when blended into a smoothie. You can also make Japanese soup, like miso soup or udon soup with noodles.
