Randall...you did once long long ago. Remember? I said I smelled a faint musky smell. Well now I keep smelling either stawberries or raspberries...something 'berry' smelling. Caileah...strange, but all I'm getting from you is the smell of wax. Or more like beeswax candles. The real ones, not the fake ones. Rhay....this might sound weird, but I get the aroma of home made vegetable soup. Or something like that...with tomatos like a tomato sauce.  ------------------

That's too cool YIVY! At first, I didn't know why you smelled Vanilla, then I thought about it some more  I don't wear vanilla perfume, but my roomate in Brooklyn drowns herself in vanilla! And, I've been wearing a lot of suntan oil lately (you know, that coconutty-vanilla smelling type of stuff) so that's probably what you smelled! My mother was just saying the other day she thought I was wearing vanilla perfume  I love the smell of Vanilla too, VR...it's just funny because I don't normally wear it!  IP: Logged |

Oh, Thank You YIVY! Ginger is a wonderful smell. Can't think of any reason for it but it sounds good to me. Gooberlily and I will have to head to the kitchen for a little baking. Sounds like we need COOKIES!  IP: Logged |

YIVY I bet you have been visiting my kitchen in your sleep! My kitchen is decorated with apples/watermelons all over, the color is yellow/red and I use "gingerbread" plug-in which smells like apple-cinnamon and sometimes I put apple cider in boiling water for smell. Even tiffany lamp in the kitchen is decorated with apples/pears/grapes.Welcome to my kitchen anytime in your sleep! Mele IP: Logged |

VR...I looked up GINGER and this is what I found..GINGER: Eating giner before performing spells will lend them power since you have been 'heated up' by the ginger. This is especially true of love spells, in which ginger is much used. Whole ginger roots are planted and grown to attract money, or the powdered root is sprinkled into pockets or onto money for this purpose. Ginger is also used in success spells or to ensure the success of a magical operation. In the Pacific the Dobu islanders make much use of ginger in their magic. They chew it and spit at the 'seat' of an illness to cure it. Also spit chewed ginger at an oncoming storm, while at sea, to halt it. From CUNNINGHAM'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MAGICAL HERBS by Scott Cunningham So, VR...have you been spitting any ginger at some storms? Hopeful...let's see LEMONS! That is what I smell around you...LEMONS! Mele...funny thing, I almost said cinnamon, but kept seeing apples. Actually it was the smell of apple dumplings which have a lot of spicy cinnamon. GooberLily...you will like this  VANILLA: Vanilla, a type of fermented orchid, is used in love sachets; the scent and taste are considered to be lust-inducing. A vanilla bean placed in a bowl of sugar will infuse it with loving vibrations; the sugar can then be used to sweeten love infusions. A vanilla bean, carried, will restore lost energy and improve the mind. Caileah.....cookies!   ------------------

Ah, I have weakness for anything apple-cinnamon.Yummy Yummy   What does Scott Cummingham say about apple-cinnamon? My mouth is watering now thinking about apple-cinnamon dumplings! Or apple pies or apple-cinnamon rolls. I even love drinking hot apple cider w/ cinnamon. YIVY, you're amazing! IP: Logged |

WOW, Mele...almost a whole page on APPLES.APPLES: The apple is a symbol of immortality. A branch of the apple who bore buds, flowers and fully-ripened fruit (sometimes know as the Silver Bough), was a kind of magical charm which anabled it possessor to enter into the land of the Gods, the Underworld, in Celtic mythology. IN some Wiccan traditions, the apple is a symbol of the soul, and so they are buried on Samhain so that those who will be reborn in the spring will have food during the cold winter months. The apple has long been used in spells of love. Theh blossoms are added to love sachets, brews and incenses, and they are infused n melted pink wax, then strained out to make candles suitable to burn for attracting love. A simple apple love spell consists of cutting an apple in half and sharing it with your loved one. This ensures that you will be happy together. A similar spell directs you to hold an apple in your hands until warm, and then give it to your intended. If he or she eats it your love will be returned. Apples are also used in love divinations, which were so popular almong unmarried women in Europe for many centures. Simply cut an apple in two and count the number of seeds. If they are even, marriage will soon occur. If one of the seeds is cut it maybe a stormy relationship. If two are cut, widowhood is foretold. However, if an uneven number of see are found the woman will remain unmarried in the near future. One last apple love spell. Take an apple 'before it falls from the tree' and write up it with a sharp knife the following: ALEO+DELEO+DELATO As you do this say the following words: 'I conjure thee, apple, by the names which are written on thee, that what woman (or man) toucheth and tasteth thee, may love me and burn in my love as fire melteth wax.' Then give the apple to whom you will-but be warned, for this (like much love magic) borders on manipulation. For healing, cut an apple into three pieces, rub each on the affectd part of the body, and then bury them. Do this during the waning of the Moon to banish illness. to insure that you do not contract a fever, eat an apple. If you are a gardner, pour cider onto freshly-turned eath to give it life just before planting. Also pour libations on roots just before tree rituals. And if you grow apples, bury thirteen leaves of an apple tree after harvest to ensure a good crop of apples next year. The Norse, as well as many other peoples, ate apples to gain immortality through wisdom, and the wood of the apple tree can be made into charms for longevity. Apple wood also makes excellent magical wands, especially suited to emotional magic as well as love rites. Use apple cider in place of blood where it is called for in old recipes. Apples can be fashioned into poppets or magical figures for use in spells or images can be carved from the wood itself. Before eating any apple, rub it to remove any demons or evil spirits which might be hiding inside (You can't be too careful!) CINNAMON: Cinnamon oil was used as part of a holy anointing oil by the ancient Hebrews. The leaves of the cinnamon tree were woven into wreaths which were used to decorate ancient Roman temples. The Egyptians used cinnamon oil during the mummification process. Cinnamon, when burned as an incense, raises high spiritual vibrations, aids in healing, draws money, stimulates psychic powers and produces protective vibrations. Cinnamon is also used in making sachets and infusions for these purposes. WHEW!!! ------------------
