2008-10-29 [Silver Moon]: yup

2008-10-31 [Ryu-tenshi]: ok I thought so...

2008-11-01 [Silver Moon]: so why doesn't he go to college on that?

2008-11-03 [Ryu-tenshi]: *looks around* He should use it. *nods*

2008-11-03 [Bookwyrm]: He doesn't want to. He's got a job with the military and he's perfectly happy with that. He was going to use that money to be a doctor, but once he got into the military he started hating doctors and so...well...here we are. :P If I could use his money to go to college I would. :P

2008-11-03 [Ryu-tenshi]: Yeah if that was possibleq

2008-11-07 [Bookwyrm]: -nod nod- I'm hoping there's some sort of grant or scholarship aimed at military spouses though. >< Doubt it, but one can hope.

2008-11-07 [Eloura]: I will hope for you also hun.

2008-11-07 [Bookwyrm]: -hugs- Thank you. ^^ Would be nice to go back to school.

2008-11-07 [Eloura]: *hugs back* Your welcome, you could go for me if you want though >.> My college is boring trade ya! You can go and have fun there probaly *smiles*

2008-11-07 [Bookwyrm]: XD What're you going for? I don't go for boring! :P I'm going for web design! ^_~

2008-11-07 [Eloura]: I liked web design in high school but after a while it got boring with the projects he gave us. I'm going for forensic Psy. *smiles* My feild isn't boring just the school ^^'

2008-11-07 [Bookwyrm]: XD Well, they didn't offer web design in my high school, just computer applications...which...admittedly, was extremely boring. But I'd like to turn The Wiccaning into a full fledged website. I think it'd be easier for me to keep up with and update that way. Plus I'd like to perhaps work on a few gaming websites and such. ^_~

Oooh, Forensic Psy, eh? Definitely not a boring field! :P

2008-11-07 [Eloura]: Hey you ever need any help let me know! I'd be glad to help make the wiccaning into a true website. I could find that fun if your willing to allow me to help!

Yea forensic Psy. I love the feild i'm going into but never will be what i would have ^^'. But true not a boring field lol i'm excited to get through college so i can start ^^

2008-11-07 [Bookwyrm]: Definitely! I've just really got to get to work...I haven't worked on this as a wiki in quite a long time. My motivation has been pretty shot. I'm hoping that if I can actually get out of this house and do something constructive that frame of mind will change. :)

Why do you say that? Never be what you would have, I mean.

2008-11-07 [Silver Moon]: I am majoring in History with minors in archeology and anthropology. I am thinking of taking another major in philosophy

2008-11-07 [Ryu-tenshi]: I"m a history major that will soon (in 4 years) be an Archeology major. I can only get my BA in Liberal arts here.



She says that because she wants oh so badly to be an Archaeologist. I think...

2008-11-07 [Eloura]: I'm willing to help you work on it in here even. Because its fun *smiles* And yea it's cause i wanted so badly to go into archaeology but oh well life shall go on and what i will do will have some fun type like that *smiles*

2008-11-10 [Ryu-tenshi]: *smiles*

2008-11-10 [Eloura]: *smiles* Thats ok i'll always be able to bother the luna about it!!

2008-11-10 [Ryu-tenshi]: heh bother away chicka....

2008-11-10 [Eloura]: YAY!!!! *giggles and acts very kidlike a moment then says* Sorry ^^' Just yea >.>

2008-11-10 [Eloura]: *smiles and says* So how are you *searches around and starts cleaning off glasses and plates and such so this place may become truly alive*

2008-11-10 [Ryu-tenshi]: 'm ok... Not too bad.. We're all getting sick...EW

2008-11-10 [Ryu-tenshi]: *sips tea* Thanks

2008-11-16 [Bookwyrm]: Oh trust me, [Eloura] I'm likely to be contacting you once I get started working on this wiki again. At the very least, I think it would be really neat if we could get some member-submitted pages. ^_^

2008-11-16 [Eloura]: Yay! I'll get to have fun and get to help!!!! *giggles happily* I'd be glad to help you and maybe i could submit something but truthfully i think ryu would have some wonderful submissions! *smiles and pours mothyr some hot tea then picking up my own cup* Your welcome luna

2008-11-17 [Eloura]: Yesh!!!! YOU!!!!! *smiles*

2008-11-17 [Ryu-tenshi]: Why me???? What can I do?

2008-11-17 [Eloura]: You are you you would be great to write a member submission

2008-11-17 [Ryu-tenshi]: oh dear...I don't know..*hates the fact that she has no self-confidence*

2008-11-18 [Eloura]: *smiles and hugs you* I think you'll do great hun!

2008-11-18 [Ryu-tenshi]: gee thanx

2008-11-19 [Eloura]: Your welcome!!!!!!!!

2008-11-19 [Ryu-tenshi]: :P

2008-11-19 [Silver Moon]: hello guys...do you guys know anything aside from tea that may help open the air ways?
I have had to go to the ER within the last 4 days because of my asthma and my inhaler is being difficult.
I have tried tea and it has helped a bit but I am still having trouble breathing (even with the meds they have me on) so any advice may help, thanks guys

2008-11-19 [Ryu-tenshi]: Could you try boiling some healing herbs adn then breathing in the steem?

2008-11-19 [Silver Moon]: I tried chamomile and lavender, it helped a little, but right now I don't have access to many herbs. I also tried sage.

2008-11-19 [Bookwyrm]: I think you both would make excellent user-submissions. ^_^ If either of you come up with anything you think should be added please, feel free to create a page about it and send it to me! I'd love to see something sent in by members! ^_^

[Silver Moon] the best home-remedy I've found for asthma is simply steam. I don't know for certain any herbs that will clear the passage-ways since asthma causes your airways to constrict--you need a bronchial dilator like the inhaler is, since it really has nothing to do with sinuses and fluids clogging your airways. Steam helps open your airways and makes it easier for you to breathe deeply. It takes a while...much longer than a rescue inhaler or breathing treatment would do, but it can help and it's easy if you need to do it every day.

You can either lightly boil some water on the stove (just get the steam going, don't need a rolling boil) and then place a towel over your head and lean over the pot to breathe in the steam (not too close of course!), or what I do is set up a spot in the bathroom with pillows and a good book, then turn the shower on as hot as it can go and wait for the room to get all steamy. Then just sit in there and read my book. The best thing you can do in that situation is sit higher up, though. On the toilet or higher if you can, because the steam rises. Sitting on the floor will get less steam into your system and will take even longer for it to take effect.

It can be a little uncomfortable, it's stifling breathing in steam like that, but it's more comfortable than not being able to breathe at all. :P

2008-11-19 [Silver Moon]: yes, I have two inhalers and I have used them, but they don't always work. I tried steam. thanks for the advice though. ^-^ one of the issues is they gave me an inhaler I had an allergic reaction to so it made things worse...

2008-11-20 [Ryu-tenshi]: Ew...that's not good....

2008-11-20 [Silver Moon]: I know... hey if you want to join I made a vampire rpg From Dusk Til Dawn

2008-11-21 [Bookwyrm]: Oh I've had that problem too. I've actually been through several inhalers that I had allergic reactions to. x_x One nearly killed me. I stopped using the preventative ones because they always made me sick, so I stick to rescue inhalers now. Albuterol, in my opinion, is the best, but I've got another one I use sometimes too...can't remember what it's called.

2008-11-22 [Silver Moon]: albuteral is the one I had an allergic reaction to

2008-11-22 [Ryu-tenshi]: I'm lucky in the allergy field.....

2008-11-22 [Silver Moon]: that's good

2008-11-22 [Ryu-tenshi]: Yeah, I''m only allergic to one thing and it's a food.....*shrugs* Hope you get the peoblem worked out though [Silver Moon]

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: me too thanks

2008-11-23 [Ryu-tenshi]: welcome

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: ^-^

2008-11-23 [Ryu-tenshi]: *smiles and offers Tea*

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: *takes some* Thank you

2008-11-23 [Ryu-tenshi]: Welcome

2008-11-23 [Silver Moon]: ^-^

2008-11-23 [Ryu-tenshi]: :)

2008-11-23 [Eloura]: *returns quietly*

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: *looks at [Eloura]* Where did you go

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: I was off baby-sitting and having heart attacks ^^' *giggles and sits in a poofy chair*

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: Heart attacks? Nani?

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: Yea >.> I almost had a heart attack because my aunt had me put tyler in bed and i thought there was a siding on the bed to keep him in so i thought she put it up so later when i heard crying and went to get him he was standing in the hallway and i thought he fell on his head or broke something *shakes my head some* ahhhh

2008-11-24 [Silver Moon]: *hugs* you ok now?

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: *hugs back* Yea i'm ok now it's just was scray then for me because i'm not around children a lot and i didn't know *smiles a bit weakly* Yea i'm not bright when it comes to children let alone one whos like 16 mnonths old or something like that...

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: oh...he was ok then?

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: Yea he was ok thing is we think it's because he's not been feeling well and gets all stuffed up that it was the cause. That he got scared because had trouble breathing in his sleep.. But he was ok. he went back to sleep

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: that's good.

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: Yea very good concidering he hadn't wanted to sleep till like almost 11 >.>

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: nice

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: yea ^^' The little night owl he is *smiles*

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: heh

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: Yea *smiles*

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: Yup.......

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: *cuddles the tyler* He weighs 33 pounds already and is going to be suber tall!

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: nice

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: I know ^^' He's sooooooooo cute in my opinion ^^'

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: heh..they are when they're little

2008-11-24 [Ravendust]: Anyone know anything to help one sleep restfully?

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: Yea only when there little... and i'm not sure of anything you could use on them

2008-11-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: sleep...lavender? warm tea with milk...?????//

2008-11-24 [Eloura]: but for little ones i'm not sure if you wanna use lavender because though it causes sleep its not advised to use with small ones. That and warm tea and milk may help them sleep but i'm not sure if it will cause a restful sleep

2008-11-25 [Ravendust]: I actually have a lavender oil scent for my room^^

I've tried tea, doesn't help either... The reason I ask is because I'm constantly dreaming of work and it is extremely exhausting...

2008-11-25 [Ryu-tenshi]: [Eloura] we're not talking about little ones. We're talking of ways to help [Ravendust] sleep peacefully....*rolls eyes*

Hum...I"m not sure...

2008-11-26 [Ravendust]: Actually, I think that asking with the one instead of me threw her for a loop since a discussion of little ones came before my question.^^;;

2008-11-26 [Eloura]: Sorry ^^' I was stuck in the little ones land *giggles*

2008-11-29 [Ryu-tenshi]: Little ones land??????? Nani?

2008-11-29 [Eloura]: Yesh where your mind stays stuck thinking about the little ones *ish coming unstuck again from it* Does not help i was with little one all friday with cousions and aunt ^^'

2008-11-30 [Ryu-tenshi]: nice

2008-11-30 [Eloura]: Yea ^^'..

2008-12-01 [Ryu-tenshi]: .....*smiles adn then reba's you*q

2008-12-01 [Eloura]: AHHHHHHH!!! *squeeks and wipes forhead*

2008-12-01 [Ryu-tenshi]: heh heh he heeeeeee

2008-12-02 [Bookwyrm]: -curls up on board and falls asleep-

2008-12-02 [Eloura]: *covers mothyr and puts a pillow under her head*

2008-12-03 [Ryu-tenshi]: *smiles at Mothyr* Tired much...you needs rest silly...

2008-12-03 [Eloura]: *smiles and wanders back into the kitchen and sighs happily finding fresh tea and sips it gently*

2008-12-03 [Ryu-tenshi]: *stalks [Eloura]*

2008-12-03 [Eloura]: EPPPP! *turns and says* would you like any fresh tea? *smiles sweetly*

2008-12-03 [Ravendust]: Try 15 hours of sleep that consisted of dreaming of work... ugh, *drifts off*

2008-12-04 [Ryu-tenshi]: *accepts cup of tea* Thank you.

2008-12-04 [Eloura]: Awwwwww poor Raven *huggles and hands over tea* Your welcome darling

2008-12-04 [Ravendust]: Mmm, tea... *drinks* thanks^^ Heh, I drink tea every day...

2008-12-04 [Eloura]: Your welcome!! *smiles and offers a wide variety of tea for everyone* Tea's good for you

2008-12-05 [Dasner]: This sounds like a very interesting place. I have been interested in Wicca for a very long time. I love it.

2008-12-05 [Bookwyrm]: -opens one eye...snags a cup of tea- 'Fank 'ou! :P

Welcome [Dasner]! ^_^ You're free to stay as long as you like. ^_^

2008-12-05 [Eloura]: Yesx your rather welcome to stay, we will try to keep you feeling as welcome as possible *smiles*

Your very welcome hun! *smiles and pulls out fresh bisquets out of the oven and smiles*

2008-12-06 [Bookwyrm]: Whoop! How did you know that was exactly the next thing on my mind? :P -takes one and holds up cup of tea- Cheers, lovely lady! :P

2008-12-06 [Eloura]: I'm NOT A lovely Lady darling *grins and sets them on a rack to cool hoping she didn't get burnt* Hey you know me, I often am prepared.

2008-12-06 [Ryu-tenshi]: *sips tea* Yes, [Dasner] you're welcome to stay as long as you like, if we can help you...*loooks around ateveryone* feel free to ask?

2008-12-08 [Dasner]: Thank you all very much. *she says, bowing her head low* ^_^

2008-12-09 [Eloura]: *smiles and says* your most very welcome! Would you like any tea or Bisquets or anything?!

2008-12-11 [Ryu-tenshi]: Welcome..*smiles*

2008-12-17 [Dasner]: Thank you. *to Ryu-Tenshi* Yes, please. Do you have any blueberry tea?

2008-12-17 [Ryu-tenshi]: Blueberry tea? I'm not sure..[Eloura] do we have any?

2008-12-17 [Eloura]: *ish searching around in the pantry and smiles coming out and says* You are in luck darling, we have some blueberry tea mix. *goes about starting to make some tea and smiles*

2008-12-18 [Ryu-tenshi]: *smiles* good

2008-12-18 [Eloura]: I tend to have variety for reasons *smiles happily whistling this morning as she pores Dasner some fresh brewed tea*

2008-12-18 [Ryu-tenshi]: ........

2008-12-23 [Dasner]: Yay! *she cheers* *she can smell the blueberries* It smells wonderful. *she says with a smile*

2008-12-23 [Eloura]: Would you like anything in it dearie? *smiles and finishes purring you a cup of tea*

2008-12-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: *watches them*

2008-12-24 [Eloura]: *smiles and waves to Ryu hinting she can come over*

2008-12-25 [Ryu-tenshi]: *goes over*

2008-12-25 [Eloura]: *smiles and says* How is everyone this such a intersting day.

2008-12-25 [Ryu-tenshi]: ok i guess...I want angy

2008-12-25 [Eloura]: awww hunny.. I'm sorry..

2008-12-26 [Ryu-tenshi]: s'ok

2008-12-26 [Eloura]: *huggles you and works on tea and cookies, bringing them over to a very comphy couch for you*

2008-12-28 [Dasner]: "Oh, just milk and sugar please." she says politely.

2008-12-28 [Eloura]: "Yes hunny!" Adds milk, and sugar and smiles stirring it and then bringing it over to you smiles and handing it over gently. "I hope you enjoy it." *smiles and jump, running to the kitchen my timer going off.

2008-12-28 [Dasner]: She takes the drink in time then sips it. The flavor is rich and sweet. "Mmmmh! Thank you!" she calls, taking another sip.

2008-12-28 [Eloura]: She smiles and giggles. "Your very welcome! I hoped it would turn out well! Would you like any cookies or bisquets?" she says smileing and pulling out chocolate chip cookies out of the oven.

2008-12-28 [Dasner]: She drinks a bit more before saying cheerfully. "Yes please. What you are cooking smells delicious."

2008-12-29 [Eloura]: She giggles some, and comes back in with a big plate of cookies. "Your welcome to cookies darling, they are chocolate chip!" Grins and sets them down, while sitting down sipping some pepermint, and chamomile tea.

2008-12-29 [Ryu-tenshi]: *Looks at [Eloura]* She is always cooking something...lol..

2008-12-29 [Eloura]: Smiles and walks over to her handing her peanut butter cookies. "Of course hunni!" Is now working on a stew.

2008-12-29 [Ryu-tenshi]: *eats a cookie* Good as always...

2008-12-29 [Eloura]: Smiles and watches "there never that good darling" Finishes adding items to the stew letting it finish cooking before turning around and asking "Would anyone like any stew?"

2008-12-29 [Ryu-tenshi]: Yes please.

2008-12-29 [Eloura]: Smiles and pures you a bowl of stew while pulling out a loaf of bread and smiles. "Would you like bread to darling?" Smiles gently.

2008-12-30 [Ryu-tenshi]: Yes please. *smiles at you* Thankx

2008-12-30 [Dasner]: She eats a few cookies then holds up a hand. "I would like a small bowl, please." she says. She always loves trying new foods.

2008-12-30 [Eloura]: She smiles and cuts the bread handing you a slice pointing to the table where you can find just about anything you want to put on it. "Your welcome darling" She smiles and pures Dasner a bowl of stew and smiles bring it over and says "Here you are hunny, fresh hot stew. I Hope you like it, would you like any bread?" Smiles gently.

2008-12-30 [Dasner]: "Ooooh, yummy! Oh, just one slice please." she says, excited to try the stew.

2008-12-30 [Eloura]: "Ok!" She smiles and bring over a slice of fresh bread and smiles. "I hope you will enjoy it!"

2008-12-30 [Dasner]: "Thank you." she says happily then picks up her spoon and takes a bite. Her face brightens at the flavors touching her tongue. "Wow! It is wonderful!" she exclaims, taking another bite.

2008-12-30 [Eloura]: "Your welcome!" She smiles and shakes my head turning red and say's quietly."It's not that good, its just a simple stew ^^' " Smiles softly, and giggles some and fixes myself a bowl.

2008-12-31 [Dasner]: "I love stews. Especially the meaty ones. They are fantastic!" she says truthfully, eating some more while dipping the bread in it.

2008-12-31 [Ravendust]: Rough times, I'm in an emotional turmoil.

2008-12-31 [Eloura]: "They tend to be the better, though all stews end up being good in the long one ^^' " Sets my bowl down, heading over to Ravendust and gives her a big hug. "Whats wrong hunny?"

2008-12-31 [Ravendust]: My uncle was murdered last night...

2008-12-31 [Dasner]: Dasner accidentally drops her spoon. She wipes the splashed stew then walks over to Ravendust. "Do they have an investigation going on?" she asks.

2009-01-01 [Eloura]: "Ohh hunny..." Hugs her tightly and looks at you worridly. "I'm sorry hunny... Have they found out who yet?" 

2009-01-01 [Ravendust]: No, haven't found much...

2009-01-01 [Eloura]: I'm so sorry hunny...

2009-01-01 [Ryu-tenshi]: I'm sorry to hear that...

2009-01-05 [Dasner]: The murderer will be caught. Do not worry. All of us will hope it comes true then it will. I am sure of it. ^_~

2009-01-11 [Ryu-tenshi]: :)

2009-01-12 [Eloura]: We are all hoping for you.

2009-01-12 [Ryu-tenshi]: Yes we are...I hope something good comes of this hardship for you......*looks at myself* Did that make sense?

2009-02-18 [Eloura]: I hope thingsare gaining a better out look for everyone. May all blessing come true, and allow all to gain better insight to there lives.

2009-02-19 [Ryu-tenshi]: same

2009-02-21 [Eloura]: *smiles* I hope the best

2009-02-22 [Nuit Darksin]: I know i don't talk in here very often but i just wanted everyone to know that i will be having hernia surgery sometime soon. not sure of an exact date but i will keep everyone posted. blessed be

2009-02-23 [Diiwica]: I hope that you have a speedy recovery and a wonderful doctor.

2009-02-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: I hope that your surgery goes well and that you recover nicely. Blessed Be!

2009-02-24 [Nuit Darksin]: thank you both

2009-02-24 [Ryu-tenshi]: YOu are very welcome

2009-02-25 [Ravendust]: At this point I don't know how many of you know... however, our dear friend [Eloura] passed away last night. *sobs*

2009-02-25 [Nuit Darksin]: awwww im sorry to hear that

2009-02-25 [Ryu-tenshi]: *bottom lip quivers* Dee we're going to have a wiccan burial in between the viewing and the other service,, if you would like to join....

2009-02-26 [Ravendust]: I would, I really would. *hugs Ryu*

2009-02-26 [Diiwica]: *hugs ryu* I'm sorry to hear for the loss. I don't know who she was but I'm sure she was an absolutely wonderful person.

2009-02-28 [Ryu-tenshi]: not sure about that aforementioned plan, but you are all welcomed to perform your own...

2009-03-01 [Ravendust]: why aren't you sure?

2009-03-04 [Ryu-tenshi]: because we ended up doing like six different rituals because no one could do it all at once....>.< It was frustrating...

2009-03-18 [Bookwyrm]: I would like to send a fond farewell to our great friend, [Eloura], who has passed away. She was always here with a smile and a hug, and on occasion a plate of cookies to cheer us all up. :( She will be greatly missed! May you rest in peace, lovely lady. We love you. :(

For those that knew her and would like to pay your respects or honour her memory, there is The Jessica Hetz Memorial.

2009-10-28 [Bookwyrm]: -pokes new graphics- :)

2009-10-28 [Ravendust]: ooh, graphics are very nifty :)

2009-10-29 [Bookwyrm]: Thankee. ^_^ Was my first experiment with photoshop. My boyfriend has it on his computer and I fiddled with it for a bit.

2009-10-29 [Ravendust]: you did a lovely job :3

2009-10-29 [Bookwyrm]: Thankee again. ^_^ So how've you been? I haven' heard from anyone around here in quite some time.

2009-10-29 [Ravendust]: I've gotta wait for a new pc to be able to play with graphics again... :( A few more weeks...

2009-10-29 [Ravendust]: had a bout of bad luck for a while, but things are steadily improving :) how about you?

And I know, it's been a while since I've seen any activity here...

2009-10-29 [Bookwyrm]: Oooh, what's happened? I'd love a new pc myself, but we're still paying for this laptop...my laptop is next. ^___^

I'm sorry you've had bad luck, but glad things are improving. It's been pretty much the same for me. Things got real rough during my divorce, but now that I'm free of that relationship...well...I've become a much healthier person for it. Despite some of my current health issues. XD Let's just say my mental health is much more on the incline.

Yes it has been very quiet around here. :( I think that's mostly due to the loss of [Eloura]. She was one of the sweetest, most talkative members, and was very welcoming. I still miss her. I hope we can bring some life back to the wiki, though. It'd be nice to keep things active. :)

2009-10-29 [Ravendust]: My computer's just way old and outdated, I'm getting a trade-in for a much newer model, it's just gonna take a little while.

Oh believe me, I'm glad things are improving too, my health as well. Hey, we've all got our fair share of problems, mental or otherwise. I certainly hope things continue to improve for you too.

I'm sure we all miss [Eloura]. But I do hope that things get active around here again, I'd like to see how everyone's been. :)

2009-11-14 [Bookwyrm]: -nods- So would I. It'd be fantastic. :D

2009-11-14 [Ravendust]: So, my luck's been a bit mixed, almost lost a friend due to a third party's instigating and lost my job for no apparent reason (they won't tell me why I was let go, stopped giving me hours for two weeks, and I kept trying to get ahold of my boss... Finally I was told to return my stuff and get my final pay...) However, I have a new laptop, which is so much faster than my old pc...

2009-11-14 [Bookwyrm]: Ugh, that's exactly what happened to my boyfriend. It was ridiculous. And worse, his bosses were friends of the family. >.< Kudos on the laptop though. I'd love to get a new one myself since my ex broke mine years ago and never replaced it. -_-

2009-11-14 [Ravendust]: yeah, I'm just hoping I can get things completely turned around for the better sometime soon...

2010-01-03 [Bookwyrm]: -nods- Me too, hon. :) -crosses fingers for you-

2010-07-05 [Bookwyrm]: Okay so here's the deal, I simply don't keep this page updated as much as I want to. This isn't because of a lack of interest in the wiki, but rather difficulty keeping things updated, fresh, and also fixing errors on two separate wikis--as this wiki is operated on both Elfpack and Elftown. This wiki is approximately 300 pages in size...that's a LOT of pages to keep updated!! So...here is my proposal...

I'm thinking of creating a blog or website on which all this information and more will be available. I will be taking direct copies of everything here, and keeping them on the external site--with the fixes, corrections, and updates that are needed on the wiki. I already have all the pages from this wiki copied down and they are being reformatted and rewritten as necessary.

I'm thinking I may recreate the Grimoire on a website, which will be connected to a blog that will have regular ramblings, tips, and extra stuff from me...that way I'll always have something to do.

The website/blog WILL have ads, but they will be ads pertaining to our subject if at all possible. I know this may gain some groans, but at the present time I'm unemployed, and really need to find a way to make at least a little income, so I hope you'll forgive me from trying to keep food in my stomach--especially when there's a little one in there too. :P

Also I hope to create a "product-testing" part of the blog, where I purchase something from popular online witchcraft supply stores (hopefully ones that are on our ad list), test them out myself, and write an honest review about the product in question. I know there's a lot of issues with faulty witch-suppliers online, and I'd like to help with that myself. But first--I need an income. :P

There will also be a weekly "advice column" section if I have enough followers on the blog.

So my question to you all is...would you visit the site? Would you visit the blog? Would you be interested in seeing this happen? This is my first step to my online witchcraft supply store, and I need some feedback. What do you all think? :)

2010-10-31 [Ryu-tenshi]: I rather enjoy the idea of having everything in one place that is outside of Elftown. I unfortunately do not visit as often, since the passing of my dear sister [Eloura]. So an external page would be very helpful to me, and my students.

2011-02-02 [Bookwyrm]: I have a hard time coming here too without [Eloura]. She really kept the community here together.

As a note, I am still working on the rewriting of the ENTIRE wiki. I've got it all up in a word document on my laptop, so I can work on it even when I'm not able to access the internet.

It's taking longer than I expected it to with the arrival of my little one, but I promise it's still being worked on, and I'm on page 200 of 800. XD

ALSO! Please note that I will most likely be making ALL of the pages in the Grimoire private and inaccessible. I'm having some issues with plagiarism, and if I'm planning to publish any of my own articles anywhere--even over the internet--I need to ensure that they're not circulating around the internet already. It will take me a while to get this done though, so it won't happen immediately.

2011-06-08 [Bookwyrm]: /is having fun working on revisions

I wish I had internet at home again, it would make things much speedier. As it is, I have to do all my research on my phone and try to read that tiiiiny writing. :P Then get back on the laptop and type type type!

I know it sucks that I haven't put any of these revisions up, but with the amount of my material that's been stolen I want to make sure I have the final cut ready for publishing before I put anything up, and I want to have what I can copyrighted.

2011-06-09 [Ravendust]: Take your time and no worries. :) waiting isn't such a big deal. Plus- I'm stuck with only phone net at the moment too, so I get where you're cominh from.

2011-06-09 [Bookwyrm]: Yeah that's what I've got too.

Luckily I can bring the baby to see my grandmother and use her internet a little here and there but I can't get much done since I'm supposed to be visiting. :P

2011-09-13 [Bookwyrm]: Everything but this page, and the few pages that do not belong to me, are now password-protected and not-viewable. Don't fear, though! When the website comes up, there will be a direct link posted right here! :D
