Tips on avoiding nightmares

Nightmares can happen for a number of reasons, and they seem to generate within a hot stuffy room. Try getting fresh air into the room before sleep, and place something like incense in the room. Nightmares also happen if you’re not wearing something comfortable or sleeping in a weird position. Avoid drinking coffee and eating cheese before bed. Coffee and cheese can bring bad dreams. Also the best crystal for this is Violet Fluorite, a perfect stone for sweeter dreams. Special herbs to help get rid of nightmares and to not have any for the following night, use Lavender. An exotic plant to cure nightmares is a Lime flower from Pukka herb, which is calming and used as a drink. There is also another great healer plant to cure nightmares, and this is Rosemary, used as a tea and often associated with medicines.

A box of coins

When I first moved here 4 years ago, I used to hear strange sounds very late at night. I used to stay up late after everyone else gone to bed. I spent time doing some reading, watching TV or just browsing the internet, and it was gone midnight. I used to hear noises coming from the locked shed in the garden, it sounded like something heavy moving around. One day I went into the shed and couldn’t find what made the noises. There was a pile of bricks on the floor in a corner, left by the previous owner, I happened to shift them a little and they made the exact same sounds. Weeks later there was a hidden box inside a niche above a shelf.It was full of old foreign coins and must've been there in the shed for a very long time. After the discovery of that box of old coins, the noises at night stopped, and I haven't heard it ever since.

Witch's Night

It's now the celebration of the Spring and Summer Witch's Night. It's also celebrated with names such as Walpurgis Night, Beltane, the May Queen, Maypole, Morris Dancers, Planting, Hand fasting,  and Florialis. Some enjoy using this time to light candles and it's a fire festival, with some dancing and mead.
Enjoy a magical season.
Hail to the land wights, spirits and gods.
