OK count me in on this one, too. I should probably stick to shipping within the US, though.

Name: Lyric

Sex: F

Path: Spirituality, not religious

Element: Fire--Sagittarius

Fav. Colors: Jewel colors like in the Gilded deck----brilliant turquoise, purple, garnet reds-----mostly warm colors but I'm not much on yellows other than if they're incorporated in something to do with Mardi Gras.

Magical Likes: Tarot, journals, crystals, gems, candles, incense

Crystals: I love most crystals, but especially clear quartz, garnet and amethyst.

Animals: Bats, cougars, sea otters

Fav scents: Orientals, heady kind of spicy scents, lilac, ylang ylang

Vegan: No, but almost.

Shipping: probably US

More Useful Facts: I'm recently into tarot books a lot. I love rings and earrings, especially with garnet or marcasite stones but am not suggesting such a spendy gift for myself. Just the colors of those stones are "my" colors. I love Mardi Gras type things and collect the Mardi Gras masks and fancy clowns, beads, etc. I love copper. Naturally tarot bags, spread cloths, anything like that is welcome.

ok all i think we have plenty signed up for this so i'm going to close sign ups and get started in making the pair ups drawing from a hat this week. I'll let everybody know who they get and you can get started. Happy Holidays

[Guiding Cauldron]

Ok everyone I just finished PM everyone their xmas person to ship to Also remember that if u seek inspiration u can always look at the profiles we posted here or on each persons username profile

For those of you shipping overseas remember to fill out a customs form and mark the package on the form as a GIFT, it will save u money.

Also due to this being a Christmas Exchange we should try to get packages off and in the mail by second or third week of November. That gives everyone a chance to buy their Holiday goodies and also time to travel in the post! Hopefully everyone should get their package BEFORE Christmas

Keep coming back to this thread to kindly imply when u sent your package and to share when u recieve ur package from someone. Remember this is a secret thing so we don't know who is getting a box from who until that person gets it and tells all

Looking foward to shareing with all of you this Holiday Season endeavor, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[Guiding Cauldron]

Just to clarify. I'm no longer interested in spells or that side of divination. Just not for me. I also like Eagles. Holiday Traditions would probably be makeing way to much food, holiday crackers, Gluewine Roaring fireplace fires, Candles, Decorateing a huge xmas tree with unusual ornaments, especially handmade or glass blown ones. christmas music is blasted in my home. And every year I make a Wreath for the front door complete with Mistletoe for Kissing! lol I'm really ethnic in nature and love all ways of life, countries etc. I'm very creative in nature so I flit from idea to idea lol Happy Holidays to all..

I love roasted chestnuts:
Get fresh chestnuts from market
score an "x" across each nut
sprinkle with a bit of salt
roast in an oven on 200celcius for 10 - 20minutes.
The score marks should open up, let cool a bit then peel shell and eat as they are or drizzle honey on top
