Just Peachy

Posted on September 8, 2018 by Annette Lanniee
Brandied Peaches

We are at the end of peach season and I almost missed it!  Thankfully the orchard we go to for peaches, strawberries, etc. has sunday hours and we were able to snag a bushel.  From these golden orbs I was able to tuck away peach chutney and just flat out canned peaches. No jam cause … Continue reading Just Peachy

Mondays Washing Day

Posted on August 27, 2018August 27, 2018 by Annette Lanniee
mondays washday

I remember this little rhyme from a Little Golden Book; Mondays wash day, Tuesday Irons .... Cannot remember the rest of the rhyme and it is difficult to find online. As a grownup, wash day is whatever day I can get the clothes to the machine and since I only have three uniforms, I wash … Continue reading Mondays Washing Day

Chicken-Ginger Soup

Posted on September 26, 2014December 10, 2017 by Annette Lanniee

So yummy and choked full of good cool weather goodness.  My sister-in-law (SIL) introduced us to this soup and it was an immediate hit - even with Ronnie, who is not a ginger fan. When SIL cooks, it is usually without measurements, so this recipe is a suggestion that allows you to embellish as you wish. … Continue reading Chicken-Ginger Soup

. . .while processing these golden green orbs into apple sauce, I realized that the peel/core palooza could be made into apple cider vinegar.

Creating and testing my lithomancy set -divination using crystals. . Will test these with various questions and casting cloths. . Have you tried lithomancy? Let me know in the comments what you liked, didnt like ... or if you've even tried it at all!

In the early morning, while the house still sleeps, I sit in the kitchen, drink my coffee, lay cards for the dawning day, document dreams, and talk to my ancestors. . Until recently I whipped through their advise with a 3-card spread; there is much to cover before the sunrise creeps over the mountain. . A 9-card (3×3 or portrait or box) spread, though, is definitely the way to go. . Mary Holder, my great great grandmother, had quite a bit to say and this appears to be about the crystal healing sessions I am about to introduce .... in my own space and not at the spa (yes, you heard it here first!). . How do you talk to your ancestors? Or do you? Let me know in the comments. . . . #lenormandcards #pollyssunsetlenormand #lenormanddeck #lenormandspreads #ancestralwisdom #ancestorsspeak #lenormand #cartomancy #geneology #spiritguidance #modernwitch #spiritguides #ancestry #familytree #spiritualguidance
Cards with friends! Can you imagine using these for cartomancy? The cards, not the friends. 🤣 . . #cartomancy #rummy
On All Hallows Eve, I sit on the front porch, reaching out to my dead and enjoying unseasonably warm temperatures. It's been raining and the glow from these florescent yellow maple leaves is heightened. . One again @thecardgeek has shared another revolutionary spread for this holiday and I have included those images for reference. . The request: Show me, Spirit, how I can improve my channeling skills in the coming 12 months. . The center line of 5 is the main message: protect myself, do a little at a time, write about it and stick to the family tree and loyal guides. . 2/ Positive influences to channeling: fox + snake. 🤣 An ability to remain honest, not let it drive me nuts and keep it uncomplicated. . Messages from Guides 3/ My Focus: Whip - keep at it, again and again and again. 4/ What To Ignore: Ring - overcommiting myself. 5/ What Hinders: Ship - working too much (doesnt leave time or energy to focus). 6/Best Skill I Have: Stars: being psychic and clear sighted. . I invite you on this power packed day/night to reflect on your goals for the coming 12-months. Winter is coming and with that the darkness, pregnant with potential. . Give this spread a try, share, and tag me in - cannot wait to see your discoveries! . . #divingguidance #divination #ancestors #witchythings #spiritualworld #channeling #channelingspirit #mediumship #spiritualguides #ancestorspeak #spiritualtools #samhain
Now that the veil is thin, it's the perfect time to ask - who is close by. So this morning I made the spread, as presented by @thecardgeek and was left with my grandmaman, a child, and a young male. The second picture is the family, including y grandmaman. . This spread prompted a conversation with my mom where I learned that Grandmaman was pregnant when she developed kidney disease and had to have the kidney removed; they took the baby too (aborted). . And the young man? She was engaged to a young man before meeting my Grandfather. His name was Edward Hanrott and they met when she stayed with his family in London to learn English. Apparently, he was on the train and leaning against an outer door, speaking to friends. The door wasn't latched completely and, while the train was moving, the door opened, he fell from the train and died. . She was so distraught that she had a nervous breakdown and convalesced at a 'spa'. It was after this that she met the man that became my grandfather. . I checked again this evening to find grandmaman and Edward still here. This is the final outcome of the radar spread as shared on @thecardgeeks youtube channel. Who do you have hanging about? I'd love to hear! . . #clairsentient #witchylife #kippercards #kipperkarten #kiperreadersofinstagram #cartomancy #mediumship #spiritualist #modernwitch #diviningguidance #divination #ancestors #witchythings
