Down The Rabbit Hole Again

So I fell down the Rabbit Hole today… big time! I decided to post something simple. LOL! And it got complicated really fast. Here’s what happened:

I thumbed through my herb book for a quick and easy herb and right away found something short and sweet about Arborvitae… which after about 15 minutes of research… turned into a much longer and very confusing journey. Here are the highlights:

• Eastern Red Cedar and Western Red Cedar are two completely different species.
• Arborvitae, is also Thuga.
• Or it could simply be called  Yellow Cedar
• But it isn’t really a “Cedar”
• Western Red Cedar is a Juniper that is completely different from the OTHER Juniper
• No wait… they are almost the same.
• Plus, in the category of “Cedar” and “Juniper” there are a bunch of other trees that may or may not have the same medicinal or magickal qualities.

Like I said… confusing. I am however starting to make sense of it, and by the time the day is done, I will have a bunch of posts I think. Here’s the first one:

• The Story of Cedar – a native american origin story shared on Feathers and Bones

More is on the way. Trust me, I have so many tabs open on my laptop that I can’t even believe it! And here we go:

• Thuja aka Arborvitae
• Eastern Red Cedar
• Tarot Of Trees Incense with Juniper Berry
• Red Cedar Magick and Lore
• Arborvitae Magick and Lore

Which also means that the following pages have been newly updated:

• Herbs A to Z
• Theraputic Index
• Glossary of Herbal Actions
• Old Names For Herbs

Ok.. that took all day and now I’m done. I hope you find something you enjoy.
