If you turned off the game, turn it back on! #WNBA

Any signs of the Rapture yet?

António Guterres is addressing the 80th UNGA now: 80 years on, he says, we face the same question the UN's founders did, but more urgent: "what kind of world do we choose together?...a world of raw power, or a world of law?"

That’s all the time we have for #herbChat today. I hope you’ll join us next time when I thought it would be fun to talk about Watercress!!

#herbchat Autumn Equinox www.everywitchway.co.uk/knowledgebas....

#herbchat The Autumnal Equinox is Monday. Beautiful weather forecast. Valerian was not listed as a part of the autumnal celebrations but why not have a cup of tea to calm the nerves anyway.

And now for the obligatory #herbchat notice. Herbs are powerful medicine and energy. Please do your due diligence before using any herb and if you’re uncertain about any consult with a professional.

This is information regarding Valerian that I hadn’t read before and I think will be good to know. #herbChat www.aromags.com/product/vand...

Here’s a webpage with some information that might be really, really helpful these days! Check out the magical uses given here! #herbChat starchild.co.uk/products/val...

Oh, did I mention that Valerian positively stinks? It’s not the nicest smelling herb you can grow! lol #herbChat

Here’s a page with some magical information about Valerian. I thought this was quite delightful. #herbChat www.wildwitchery.com.au/blogs/grimoi...

How lovely, a friend just sent me two pictures of Valerian for our #herbChat today!

#herbchat Glad to see my state is not on the list. I’ve seen it for sale here, but that means nothing. It’s a very useful medicinal. The teas are very calming.

What I noticed about Valerian is that it really does like a lot of moisture. The year we discovered an underground spring was running beside one of our sheds was the year Valerian grew taller than the building!! #herbChat www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs...

#herbchat Valerian root can be aggressive and invasive which means it is probably easy to grow. www.growveg.com/plants/us-an...

Nice mug #herbchat

Fingers x’d this post gets though, it’s about magical uses of Thyme! #herbChat www.tragicbeautiful.com/blogs/book-o...

#herbchat and in topiary arrangements.

Thyme is a well known culinary herb. Here are some recipes that look too delicious, but I know I’ll just drool over them and never make them, lol Hopefully some of you are more into cooking than I am! #herbChat www.foodandwine.com/seasonings/h...

#herbchat Thyme grows in many forms - prostate, bush, columnar, etc. It can be variegated, solid, painted edges, etc. I have grown several in large pots and it looks like lots of different plants.

This page from one of my favourite seed companies has some very interesting information about Thyme. I love the bit about using it to keep books safe! #herbChat www.westcoastseeds.com/blogs/wcs-ac...

We’re quickly getting into the season where we want warm comforting bevies here in the Northern Hemisphere and this is a good one. #herbChat seasonherbs.co.uk/blogs/recipe...

#herbchat This covers a lot including some of the magical properties. curiouscauldron.com.au/blogs/sacred...

This page mentions healing benefits of Thyme and with #wildfire smoke hovering in the air here the one about lowering blood pressure seems very appropriate, lol #herbChat www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/266...

#herbchat Thyme is from the Mediterranean, but there are so many varieties now that finding one to grow in your zone is not that hard. It is a perennial to zone 4, but I have overwintered it in zone 7 for five years or more. Some varieties are hardier than others.

#herbchat The AI says there are more than 300 varieties of thyme. I haven’t tried nearly enough varieties.

Thyme is not only my favourite herb it’s one I’ve used in business. Many of you know my ‘Another Thyme’, the ‘thymeless1’ and the fun that can be had with a play on the word ‘thyme’ but let’s start off with some basic #herbChat info: www.almanac.com/plant/thyme

Today’s topic is thyme. #herbchat

Yes, you read that correctly: FIVE. BILLION. DOLLARS. Trump is using the presidency to get rich while working folks struggle. He’s only thinking about his own interests — it’s corruption beyond belief. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Political theater.

Well that’s #herbChat for today, I hope you’ve enjoyed talking with us about Red Raspberry. I’m glad you could join us. I think it would be fun to talk about the herb Strawberry after this so let’s do that next week!

#herbchat Another excuse to sort the tea. Finding the raspberry tea packets.

And here’s a webpage that suggests something I’ve never tried but will soon! (Using Red Raspberry as a substitute for green or black tea) #herbChat chickadeefarmherbs.ca/product/wild...

Here’s a YouTube video about foraging for wild red raspberry. I’ve often seen it growing in the wild so I enjoyed this. #herbChat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq1Y...

#herbchat I grew this container variety. Very easy plant. www.bushelandberry.com/raspberry-sh...

I’ve always found the website ‘The Spruce’ to be full of helpful information. On this webpage they give the zones where Red Raspberry can be successfully grown. #herbChat www.thespruce.com/how-to-grow-...

This page is talking about how to grown raspberries in Ontario but I think it will apply to anywhere that is in the same garden zones. #herbChat www.ontario.ca/page/growing...

#herbchat Red raspberry information.

#herbChat This is one of the best webpages I’ve seen talking about Red Raspberry, and she has a free download page about it for the witchy sorts! www.flyingthehedge.com/2024/02/magi...

And for the witchy types here, this webpage has some great info! #herbChat www.tragicbeautiful.com/blogs/book-o...

#herbchat I hadn’t thought about using the leaves for tea. We have so many prepackaged teas, but fresh is always good.
