Ivy.

To make up for the lack of posts of a pagan nature I've decided to do a post about The magical properties of Ivy. It's believed to help with healing and protection and protect against negativity and disaster It is carried by women for fidelity and general good luck and woven into wedding wreaths by brides. It is paired with holly so can also be used in love charms.

There's a wonderful page on Ivy here called "The Ivy" that is worth a read it tells you lots about the significance of Ivy In paganism. There's also a wikipedia page about the actual plant Ivy, and I used this page called "Herbal Properties-Kindle the fire".

Sorry I've neglected the blog for a while I've got to do 6 more posts for pay per post before I can transfer it over to another blog and the opportunities open to me are very limited so you may have to put up with a few more off topic posts as I work on my other blog which is here it's called "Under The Ivy" strangely enough, I need to improve it's page ranking so it would help if you could visit it and maybe even link to it if possible I will return the link.

I've Been Gardening

I finally had the Ivy that was blocking so much light from my back garden cut down and have revealed a lovely stone wall that was concealed before. I'm now left with a huge pile of Ivy cuttings shown above.



The wall underneath it is very old and has some strange types of stone in it that we couldn't identify. I also managed to capture a picture of a bird unexpectadly he was just sat on the shed eating something and didn't fly away for a while when I came out to catch these pictures before it got dark.
