Let me share with you what the Insight Stones provided for a confused practitioner ...

"I had questions about my new business and what steps were needed to move forward.  Insight Stones assisted me in getting clear, and I gained tremendous insight on where I am presently and the appropriate path to take.  The words that came through the Insight Stones guidebook provided confirmation on my soul's unique gift and how to share it with my clients."

Lammas/Lughnasadh marks the beginning of the harvest festivals and the decline of summer into winter.  Lammas is from the Saxon word Hlaf-mass, the Feast of Bread.  Lughnasadh is associated with the Irish god Lugh, the God of All Skills, and games of athletic prowess are conducted to honor Lugh.

The most important aspect of Lammas is to make sure we have given enough for what we have received.  This Sabbat reminds us to remember everything we already have in our lives, to look at the positive aspects of life, and to count our blessings. 

A suggestion for a Lammas ritual comes from Kate West, author of "The Real Witches' Handbook."  She recommends taking several pieces of paper and on one side making a note of something you have achieved in the past year and on the back write something you intend to do in 'payment' for this.  For example, on the front write that you passed an important exam; on the back write that you will dedicate time to teaching someone else a skill they need.  The two need not be linked. 

Once all of your achievements and payments have been written, set aside a time to read them aloud and give thanks to whatever higher power you feel is appropriate.  You can pin them up as reminders and take them down once they have been satisfied or put them in a safe place.  Remember, Witches always honor their promises!

Answer: When conjuring the right romantic relationship, the energies necessary to attract a loving vibration can be helped along with natural elements corresponding to love.  Several herbs and flowers fit this purpose.  One is jasmine, which can be used in sachets or burned in the form of incense.  Rose is a plant that is strongly associated with emotions and can be used in dried mixtures, worn while performing love spells, put live in a vase on your altar, or distilled and poured into bath water for a love bath.  If you are looking to create a love mixture to carry with you in a drawstring bag, include jasmine, rose, a piece of rose quartz, moonstone, and yarrow for a powerful pull for your ideal match.  When imprinting your intention on the concoction, let the Universal Energy know that you are looking for the person that is right for you and who is best for your highest good.  Carry it with you.  In your home, pair items such as candlesticks to draw the vibration of coupling.  Balance the items in your home with both feminine and masculine energies to create a harmonious union of the two vibrations.
