A recipe for Split Pea Soup
Tree
I originally posted this in ATW but have taken a liking to many of you
here as well lately so I thought I should post it here for those of you who
may enjoy it. It is a cut and paste of my original hope you all try, like
and enjoy!
I would like to share a warming recipe that I use to warm the home and
feelings for split pea soup. 'Tis an older recipe and a little off from
traditional but I find it wonderful and feel maybe some of you may as well.
Hope you enjoy.
Ingredients:
1 pound dried split peas
1 sweet onion minced
3 cloves garlic
1 pinch of fine ground ginger (PINCH)
1 dash of Worcestershire
1 large bay leaf
1 tbl spoon dill weed
1/2 pound of Italian sausage (baked or fried and drained well)
2 tbl spoon fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 - 1 tsp. sea salt as you prefer
6 cups spring water
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
Directions:
Soak and rinse your peas as you see fit either over night the long way or a
quick soak, directions for these methods should be found on all bags of
split peas. Place soaked and rinsed peas in 6 cups water and bring to a low
boil, cover and simmer for 3-5 hours stirring hourly to prevent sticking.
Add sausage and spices all except celery and carrots. continue to simmer
covered an additional 3 hours stirring often. Once the soup has gotten
fairly thick with very little water separation from the peas add celery and
carrots then cover and simmer a bit higher until veggies are soft and soups
flavor is full with very little water separation from the thickened soup.
End result is a very thick and hearty pea soup and spicy, if you do not like
the *hot & Peppery* flavor that results (which may make you sweat a little)
lessen the black pepper. I personally double the black pepper being a lover
of the spicy food. If the soup is bland tasting it is not done yet continue
to simmer. I often start this first thing in the morning or the night
before. Hope you enjoy this, any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

I hope they enjoy reading as much as I am enjoying the chat. Be warned,
once I plant I tend to be deeply rooted (Thus the name, though my parents

I love your name. I too have enjoyed using the name Tree on the net.
Now that I know it is your name, I will stop using it. The name does
suit you.
So nice to meet you. :)
hY (striking True, and Tree off of lists of names to use. Anyone going
to start using Terra?) :P
Tree
I would be happy to share my personal ritual in this instance with
others Friend, first allow me to note that this comes from a spell book
passed to me from my mentor upon her passing and 'tis very old, (the nearest
date in the book before this spell is April of 1833 and a few pages later is
the date March of 1835) the recipe itself has been slightly altered for
modern convenience (i.e. leaving out the pea pod drying procedure and so on
since we now have bagged split peas available in every store and similar
instances) the spell itself I follow to its letter. It goes as such...
Starting barefoot & remaining so through the day until the soup is done,
I wash the cauldron & a wooden spoon with a basil wash then anoint the
cauldron with blessing oil (My preference is an Old New Orleans recipe but
choose what ye like) I hang a sprig of Basil and Bay over the stove,
Lighting a white candle also anointed with the blessing oil and placed upon
the stove, I begin the soup. I myself use beeswax thin candles for this
ritual and when the candle is burned away my soup is done, good timing maybe
but it always works for me. I say a home blessing prayer as I add the final
ingredients and give a thanks for having a home to bring peace & blessings
into.
That is it straight from the book nearly word for word. Fairly simple,
as some of the best magic is really, and I always have success with this, in
time where no tension need be relieved I find it still adds a wonderful
atmosphere of joy to the home.
I might add that I am glad you asked as no one commented in my other NG
where I posted it and I hope it brings you some joy.

We could use a nice forest grove here for all the pixies, sprites, and

Tree
...it goes like this as told to me, he looked out the window and saw a
woodpecker, he looked at it carefully and chuckled as "Woody came to mind,
then he saw its beautiful beak which made him think "Bill" from that he
thought "William" then it occurred to him how that poor "Tree" took so much
abuse from the bird yet still provided it with a home. Thus he decided
"Tree". Now I might add I left a little of the story out having to do with
My mother but you get the basics.

Well, can't act naughty with my real name, now can I? lol, actually, I
just like to experience how different names make me feel and act. If I
need to feel earthy, then Tree, or Terra, help out a lot. Even playing
around with energy - I find helps to get rid of baggage that a name
might have? lol - perhaps I am just a bit mental. :P

I almost feel dirty copying them to my own books and packing them away
for preservation, I do so love reading her Great Great Great Grandmothers
notations in the oldest one, she was a very wise and funny woman I feel as
if she is looking over my shoulder when I read them as if I knew her and she
has been passed on for nearly 200 years now.
I am very glad you appreciate it and hope it works as well for you as it
does for me.

Hybiscus
You know, some people actually make me use only one name with them.. I
find this so frustratingly out of character most of the time. Like I can
not be who I want or need to be, when restricted to one name. I never
use a name in a way that would deceive or put someone in a position
where they would think I was someone else. I try to make it very clear
who this entity is that they are talking to. I can not be the only
person who does this.. can I?
It is like wearing a pink bow in your hair when you are happy, or
wearing a yellow T-shirt when you want to be bright, or clunky shoes
when you have a bit of vigor in your attitude. It gives me the extra
power, or emotion that I am trying to capture at that time. It can make
me serious or playful.
I have to say, being in a room where everyone changes their name can be
such a ball of laughter and very liberating.
I have the one name in real life...Well, except some people actually do
call me Hybiscus or Hy now... and it actually feels better to me
(depending on the person using it). If I know I do not like some peoples
pronunciation of my name, I will offer them a certain aspect of my name
to call me. Some people have such sensuous voices, might as well give
them the name you associate with your sensitive side.
Is that the smurf song I hear playing in my head? *grins*
Hybiscus
I teased my bf's family saying I was going to call our first born son -
Killarny Argyle. (Named after 2 streets where I live).. lol.. I like the
name now.. hehe.. But you should see their faces, it is just to precious
to give up.
Marina Waters, Autumn Falls. ;p Savannah.. I like that.. Savannah.. or
how about names of winds..there are some very pretty names that escape
me right now.
Kate
have so many names (not deceitful ones) even in real life that sometimes _ I
_ even get confused. You're right, it's more fun that way! I will continue
to call you Baby, tho.

hmm you know.. I am not sure if I have even ever eaten a twinkie.. now,
I know I have had a ding dong.. they are not as cracked up to be like

fatty foods, hate even more pretend fat (biology class really can turn

This brings me to state first off that a "Ding Dong" is nothing more
than a "HO HO" shaped like a disc instead of a log. Furthermore I think
Hostess really screwed up on this cosmetically speaking as looking at it
physically, wouldn't the name ding dong be more fitting to the Ho ho and

I am not sure we have ho ho's here.. And I just saw that icky brown crap
that people drink in the states. - yahoo??? how does that appeal to
anybody? ewww. I do not even want to try the chocolate bar flavoured
milks. Oh, and how can I tell its late, I want to start talking about
free trade and the type of chocolate we get over here, compared to
Europe - lol - ohh .. time for bed. Did you know that we can get away
with having only 10- percent chocolate in our chocolate here, most of
our chocolate is made out of lard and icing sugar.. eww.. and free trade
is trying to force the european countries to follow suit...

Ever read the Kalevala? The magic of naming is central to several of the
spells in there. If you know the secret name of a thing that describes the
very heart of it's essence and working, according to the magic of naming,
you can use it as your own. That extended to people as well. In the spell
about forging, beyond the poetic language there is a very good technical
description of the older forms of smithing metals.
Feeling and understanding the ways the energy of names affects you
is not mental, it is the first step in exploring an older form of
folkloric magic that is often overlooked or looked down upon by some.

How about a month taking on each of the Ogham Trees and working to
understand how their attributes are a part of your life? It will take you
just over two years....... There are several versions, including one that
Robert Graves discusses in his "White Goddess" and Pattalee Glass-Koentopf
mentions in her book "Year of Moons, Season of Trees." This is the one
from the late Colin Murray in his Celtic Tree Oracle that matches most
closely (but not exactly) that which is in active use in a Scots Canadian
family I have ties to.

exchange for travel advice, she sighs and smiles.
"Ah", how long had it been since she had seen a stranger standing under
her favorite tree? She feels the grove waking up from its slumber. A
whole winters worth at least. She had been sleeping and not noticed the
frost melt into the rivulets that collected into the stream and washed
into her little pool.
"hmm..soon", she hums to herself. Soon it would be time for the
gathering of all the little forest folk consisting of pixies, sprites,
her sister dryads, gnomes, the turtles, fish, frogs, and butterflies,
birds, and bees.
Reaching into her vast pocket of seeds, she swirls her hand around,
looking for the perfect one. "Ah, there it is." Happy at the
discovery, she starts to sing a melody her mother had taught her when
she was much younger. As she heads to the creek, her voice fills the
air, and awakens the rest of the sleeping forest.
She bundles up the seed inside of a kerchief that belonged to a lover of
past times. She dips her little treasure into the stream and sings as
the wetness transforms her little bundle into a soggy little package.
She squeezes a little of the water out, and smiles, as she bends to
smell the scent of new life upon it.
Opening the bundle, she is pleased that her magickal little seed has
performed in the way she was hopping. Little seeds of already
germinating spring varieties glistened like little jewels upon the
oatmeal substance of the bigger seed.
She stands up and begins to sing the sowing of seeds as she waltzes
among the ponds edges, sowing them into the lake, and around the edges,
up the little creek, and then singing the remainder of the seeds along
the hillocks and clearings.
As she finishes her task, the sun shines on her little cheek, and she
sighs.. "Just a little while longer now.. I will rest.." and she dances
off to her favorite spot, on her big oak tree.

Greetings all. I am on an adventure making a web page for a non profit
group dedicated to improving communities, and making them self

community gardens, living walls of art, edible shrubbery, reclaiming old
industrial land, and much much more.
This web page will also contain about 20 pages that capture exerts from
graduate students thesis's pertaining to a chosen site.
I would like to ask any artists if they would like to submit a picture
of their art work. If it is bright enough, then I will make it the
wallpaper of each page, if not, then I will insert it as a picture. I
will include your name of choice as well as contact info - ex a link to
a web page, or email address. What ever you like. This is a volunteer
effort, so no one will be paid, but it is a good way to show your work,
show off your web pages, or allow you the excuse you needed to create
something you always wanted to.
I only just started, but I have 3 pages almost finished. These are just
sample pages so far, as I need more art, and I have only worked on it
for a day, so have not explored all the features of this web page
program.
Thanks all :)
