Good stuff

From an Englishman's point of view I thought that August meant rain...

Re: monath

Nita, monath meaning month is almost the same as the Danish word 'monad' that also means month.

You always find something new! 'Weed- month' is particularly apt, especially after a wet July such as we've just enjoyed.

Nita, I remember the story about Augustus, and his father before him...

it's interesting how these men chose to have months named after them, as if trying to outdo each other on the calendar.....

I love these posts – these little “snippets” of info.  Weed month – that made sense.

My email is not working so i have to communicate this way. Bones need organic Calcium  phosphate(57%), calcium carbonate and magnesium phosphate. Brain and nerves need potassium and mgnesium phosphate. You cannot use nothing but plant soures of calcium etc. Irish moss and almonds give most of these to you. The calcium plants are the peas, beans and clovers.. You can also use lemons limes, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, string beans, onions. Peas and beans have an acidifying effect. In my blog, i also named sources of calcium fluoride. No sodas milk, or cheese. Goat's milk and cheese are better. Unboilt milk is better ie non-pasteurized. Thestone solvents only remove inorganic calcium. I gave a link on my blog to something that increases bone density. Look at the ingredients and you can make your own mixture. Inorganic calcium is deposited in the body while organic calcium is used by the body. Plants not animals can synthesize organic calcium from inorganic minerals. Dr Shook does not believe in vitamins. He believes in brain food. B12 can be found as pills. Without that, ginseng, gotu kola gingko and shilajatu increase brain power. This is because they stimulate acetylcholine production! Later!

Thanks so much for this interesting post and for your comment on the witches. It's really amazing how many different cultures have them and my particular interest is in voodoo.
