Storm Moon

The full moon today is referred to as the Storm Moon in our circles. Just twelve days before Ostara, the Vernal Equinox, it is a wonderful time for rebirth, fertility and new growth, both spiritually, emotionally and physically.

As the Wheel of the Year takes another turn we can expect heavy rains and grey skies to nurture the needs for the coming growing season.

WD-40 Great stuff.

WD-40 literally stands for Water Displacement, 40th attempt. That's the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed WD-40 back in 1953. The chemist, Norm Larsen, was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion-a task which is done by displacing water. Norm's persistence paid off when he perfected the formula on his 40th try.
