Through the old wooden gate you enter my secret garden where you will be able to follow a red brick walkway and meander
at your own pace among the beds of herbs, flowers, shrubs, and little hidden grottos. The Spirits of Nature, kinfolk of the woodland, smile shyly at you from beneath the foliage of an abundance of herbs and other plants. Bay, borage, comfrey, chive, garlic, marjoram, thyme, oregano, and woodruff nestle together along with their taller kin of artemisia, mugwort, motherwort, rosemary, tansy, and yarrow. The golden light of the Sun urges growth, while the silvery light of the Moon calls the Fair Ones out to dance in a Circle by the birdbath, their shimmering reflections cast fleetingly upon the shining orb of the garden’s gazing globe. In this garden, the Elementals work together for the benefit of all as Earth offers nourishment to plants, Air brings gentle breezes to spread their seeds, Fire gives Solar warmth that they grow tall, and Water moistens their roots and washes their leaves. The Spirit of the Garden is one of tranquillity and growing life, of purposefulness and awareness of the value of root, stem, leaf, and flower, and of knowing that those who visit and tend the plants are at one with them. Those who walk the path are in union with the Lady and the Lord of Nature, whose pleasure it is to see Their children grow and bear fruit. Here the cycles of Nature repeat in the endless rhythm of the Wheel of the Year, carrying the nuance of each changing season with the gentle harmony and transition of energy through Gaia’s cauldron of rebirth. At the various sites along the path there are things to see and read about my writings, my family path, my activities, and how to contact me. I have been happy to present my Craft heritage in several books, and I am delighted that the duplicate of my personal grimoire in the book, "The Grimoire For The Green Witch," is a Coalition of Visionary Resources Award winner! I hope you enjoy your stroll through the garden, and when you have seen all you choose, come share some herbal tea with me in the Gazebo before departing. I bid you welcome to my world in which everything is alive and everything contains a portion of the Divine Spirit. My path is animistic and pantheistic, so do not be surprised to see me speak to plants and stones, to animals and trees, to the seen and the unseen. To me, all is connected and sentient, and all that is needed for communication is taking the time to do so. May the Goddess and the God bless your feet which take you on your path.

ON-GOING ACTIVITES FOR 2009 THE EIGHT SABBATS AT ELEMENTAL CROSSINGS I have completed Open Sabbats for half of the Wheel of the Year, so with Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, and Litha behind us, we are into the Dark Season. Soon it will be time for Lughnassadh, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule, and it seems to me that the Wheel picks up speed by Mabon with all the year-end holidays! I present these Sabbat rituals at 6 PM, except for Samhain which will be at 1 PM so the children will have time for Trick or Treating. Elemental Crossings is located at 311 S. Park Ave. in Sanford, FL, and there is no charge, although donations are appreciated.
