GIVE AWAY (please read all of the details so there is no disappointment and that you understand everything)!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~PLEASE READ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey gang. For those of you who don’t know, my name is Amber. This is my first give away and I am making it unique. I am not doing one giveaway… or two giveaways… I am doing FOUR separate giveaways! ^_^ 
A quick run down of “rules” if you will. I ask that:
You follow me (especially if you like gemstones, crystals and mineral (specimens) for my blog consist of my collection and I adore showing it off).
You try not to reblog more than say… five or six times a day, for the soul purpose of not coming off as spam and annoying fellow followers who just may not be into this sort of thing.
If you have questions please contact me, though the “ask” button on my blog. I am very easy going and will reply as soon as I can (anons welcomed).
I will use a numbers generator to pick the random four winners. If you’re contacted, YOU GET TO CHOOSE which of the four giveaways you want. I will say you’ve won, give you my e-mail address so I can get your information (if you want to give it on tumblr too, that’s fine. I just figured e-mail would be more private). Now, here is information on the giveaways:
Giveaway one:  4 snow flake obsidian, 3 pieces of peacock ore and 11 small pieces of fluorite. The fluorite is very colorful and has been though (what seems to me) several of the tumbling stages, but does not have a shine to them. The Peacock ore it rough and one of the snow flake obsidians is also rough,too.
Giveaway two: 9 pieces of Barcciated Jasper, one of which is rough. 12 small, colorful pieces of fluorite. 
Giveaway three: 1 piece of agate (which is a little rough looking, but has a smooth finish. A nice sized piece). 10 small pieces of fluorite 7 nearly flawless, polished pieces of hematite.
Giveaway four: In this giveaway there is a lot more because the gemstones here are small (I figured they could be used for wire warping) and again, appear as though they have been though the tumbler without getting the final step (the polishing step). A few of these gemstones are a little dinged and rough looking but if done right, I think would make a unique piece of jewelry ^_^ Here is what’s in this giveaway: 54 small pieces of  fluorite, 3 small pieces of agate and 15 other small, random assortment of gemstones (mostly I haven’t a clue what they are lol).
(The fifth photo is of all the gemstones in their separate baggies.)
I will let this giveaway go for a few weeks if not an entire month, not only to be fair, but to get as many followers as I can. I will also be making this a habbit (giveaways that is).
I will ship anywhere in the world—at no cost to you, if I can (I will do research about sending items such as these to your country, just to make sure there wont be any hardship in you retrieving them though customs). 
Again, any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask.
Sure it’s a small giveaway and not the greatest, but I think a great place to start. Thank you in advance to the new followers!
Have fun! ^_^!!

Hello Anthoney,  : )

I have to confess that you message concerns me, and I can not  In good faith give you more help  which I know you require for a few reasons.  

Pain is the body’s way of telling you that something is Wrong, Persistent and Regular Pain such as your describing is Not normal and should never be ignored so I’m going to ask you to do a few things.

1)  Go get your eyes checked just in case you are in the need of glasses or new glasses, as this can cause you to have headaches.

2) Go seek Medical Attention, just to rule out any nasty surprises, headaches can be caused by many factors both physical and Psychological  everything from a trapped nerve, blood pressure to stress not only the “Big causes” that may require medical attention.

I understand your not wanting to take chemical medications But Lets make sure that it is something minor before we go the holistic route of treatment. Once you know what your dealing with then you will know if a herbal or homeopathic remedy  or Reiki healing etc is where you need to start. and the sooner you know the cause the sooner you can look at alternative medical treatments.

3) Increase your water intake, as much as 60 % of all “Normal headaches” can be put down to 4 main things, a persons eyes, dehydration, allergies and stress if you wait to drink water / fluids until your thirsty then you are already dehydrated, regardless of the weather.

Talking of fluids cut out anything that your consuming that has the artificial sweetener Aspartame in it  see this page for details

http://www.naturalnews.com/035382_aspartame_side_effects_headaches.html

4)  Learn to meditate, if you don’t already this will help cut back on any stress you may be feeling, lets face it not many of us lead stress free lives. Even if it is not the cause of the headaches it is always a good thing to do as not only does it cut back on stress but helps you to concentrate better in your daily life,  just to mention only two of its positives physical effects not to mention the metaphysical.

I hope you get a definitive diagnosis soon so you can work on a treatment and get rid of the pain. 

Blessed Be.

Also, half lavendar and half mint oils in a bottle with a roll-on top, roll along the hairline.  It helps.

If you can mix up Four Thieves Vinegar too much… because I’m making a super strong jar of it, and I’ve set it next to my computer and have been shaking it up half the day..

Soo instead of doing the sensible thing and laying down, what do I do?  I decide now is a really good time to put together some Four Thieves Vinegar, cus I keep feeling crappy, and my home feels off, and so a banishing/cleansing/protection ritual needs to be done.

Okay, here is my reply to SecularWitch’s “Not to offend you..but” survey.  Ignore the reference to 15 minutes of your time, its only about 10 minutes, but was 15 before I edited out all my “umms” and fuck ups.  Warning, I cuss a lot. And haven’t figured out how to reblog the survey with the audio post.. so yeah. Go over to SecularWitch and do the surveys.


All this was from the top of my head with only one previous read of the questions (why oh why did that one have an echo? stupid machine) So is random, and maybe a little silly, but its my first time trying an audio post ::Shrug::

Also, I just realized I totally skipped the meditation question.  Yeah, I can’t meditate problems away.  Stupid

OMFG. 

LOL.

My rosy red ass!

Homg.

HOMG

I’m dying.

HOMFG.

LOL BOOK BURNING CHRISTIANS.

You got me beat by 4 years on the experience level. D:

 Eh, we’re all in this together. <G> Thanks for the giggles.  I’ve been informed that I have all the tact of a teaspoon, I suspect that makes me funny to most ;) Or infuriatingg.. often the latter. And hey, I’m as kinky as a cheap garden hose, my ass is often delightfully rosy red! 

People ought to stop taking themselves so freaking seriously.  I’m sure you agree.

Played 15 times.

Scars with stories.  I got em.  Picture possibly triggering, therefor the line there…

  • Umm yeah, my blog, below this. There, thats my response, because I'm a total tumblr noob and couldn't figure out how to put the two together. Sorry.
  • SecularWitch: This is a survey meant to bring up unpopular opinions about certain topics within Paganism, Witchcraft, and Occultism specifically related to Magical Traditions. So if you get offended, know that you were already prepared for that joyous feeling of offense!
  • SecularWitch: So tell me how you feel about...
  • 1. The Depiction of Witches in the Media or other forms of expression as Evil, Ugly Women
  • 2. Veganism and whether or not it should be part of a witchcraft or pagan lifestyle
  • 3. Animal sacrifices
  • 4. People who are against using anything but White Magic(K)
  • 5. The spelling of magic (majick, maijizz?)
  • 6. Meditation as a fix all for everything
  • 7. Necromancy and whether its okay to force the dead to come back into the realm of the living to divine from them.
  • 8. Graveyards
  • 9. The Depictions of Deities in works of Fiction/the Media
  • 10. People who are older than 35, who call themselves your elders in witchcraft and demand that you give them respect
  • 11. Z Budapest and her comments about Trans* people
  • 12. Negative Emotions and people who consider them to be bad
  • 13. People on tumblr who think that the amount of followers that they have is directly propotional to how correct they are [because I can]
  • 14. People who say that Satanists are actually Christians in reverse
  • 15. People who claim that their great-great-great-great-great-great ancestor was a witch, and therefore that they are more legitimate than anyone else
  • BONUS RANT QUESTION: When people tell you that you're not a real witch/pagan/occultist.

I don’t follow your tumblr to get follow-backs.  I think people who do that are just plain tacky. If you want to follow me, have at, but its in no way required nor expected.  I appreciate y’all coming. I haven’t much to say, but much is percolating in my head, expect stuff in the future.

If you have nothing but pictures.. okay, I’m following just to get the pretties on my dash.

But if you’ve got something to say, ohh I’m listening.  If you’ve got something to say that has a whole bunch of other people riled up and shitting themselves in indignation, I’m listening harder.  Because last time I checked, life wasn’t a popularity contest, and those that people are talking about are generally worth listening to.  Because they’ve got something to say that struck a nerve, took ahold of someone’s gut and twisted it around so much that someone had to say something.  Often its because the listener is uncomfortable, or doesn’t understand what’s going on in your reality.  Or they are knee-jerking turds who often have diarrhea of the mouth.  But I do appreciate those knee-jerking turds, cus they pointed me to you.  You who have something real and visceral to say.  And often, when I land on your tumblrs from their ranting and ravings, a part of me says “Oh, there you are, I’ve been looking for you.”  I feel a kin-feeling so often when I see your posts that its frightening.  And for that I thank you. 

Mrs. Dirty, thank you.

Lupa, thank you.

RootandRock, thank you.

Cunning_Flame, thank you.

ThreeDifferentWays, thank you

There are people I’m missing, I’m sure, but these are the ones that come to mind most easily.

Y’all have things worth saying, and worth listening to.  I am sorry that your words often fall on ears that will not hear.  But what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Not that you need the help.

Alright. So that at least somebody gets something good out of the kerfuffle that resulted from me posting this (just read the notes—you’ll see what happened), I am doing a giveaway!

Since Skin Spirits: The Spiritual and Magical Uses of Animal Parts raised a bit of controversy today, I’d like to give at least one more person in the world the opportunity to see what I actually said in there about working with the spirits in animal skins and other remains. (SPOILER ALERT: All I did was figure out while I was making stuff out of hides and bones that there were spirits in there, and I started talking with them—free-range, organic animism in the making.) So I’m giving away one copy of the book, free of charge, and I’ll even pay for the shipping. (And yes, of course I’ll sign it!)

So if you want a chance to win this book, all you have to do is reblog (NOT JUST LIKE) this post. That’s it. You don’t even have to follow me, though I greatly appreciate follows.

I’ll keep track of everyone who reblogs this between now and midnight on May 1 (the midnight when April 30 turns into May 1), then put all the names into a hat and draw one winner out. 

……aaaaaaaaaand GO!
