Yesterday the Conservative government’s proposal to reinstate the ‘anti terrorism’ laws was defeated in parliament. Hurray! I fully support that decision. You can’t fight terrorism by creating more terror. You create terror by arresting people who don’t know why they’re being arrested and are never told what charges they face. You can’t call a country [...]

Anger and Our Bodies
Posted in health concerns on February 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Once in awhile my husband hands me an article to read out of the paper. Yesterday he handed me an article which stated that everyone seems to be angry. The article had many examples of anger, obvious in society, along the line of road rage, song lyrics etc. The journalist pointed out that it’s cool [...]
Which Witch are You?
Posted in Syd's Rants, ethical questions to consider on February 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve stated earlier that I’m a ’spiritually based’ person. I said this, rather than saying I’m a ‘religious’ person. Most people think of church when you mention religion, and typcially western ways of viewing God; ie: the old white man with a long white beard. Likewise, church’s standards about what is ‘good’ or ‘evil’ apply [...]
Chinese Medicine Basics
Posted in Syd's Rants, health concerns on February 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I suppose most people have at least heard of the terms acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu or reflexology before, but it seems a lot of people don’t understand the basics of Chinese medicine. So I figured this was worth a blog entry, since it fits so well into my own way of thinking about health and staying [...]
Challenges of Gardening
Posted in Gardening at my place on February 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Today I’d like to blog about gardening here at my place. If there’s anyone reading this who doesn’t actually know me, and hasn’t been to my home, you should know that gardening here is a real challenge for a number of reasons.
First of all, the entire property is made up of rock. Our house [...]

I was talking to my sister on the phone this morning. She lives in Toronto and is a teacher there. She spoke about trying to get to work in the cold weather and how cars get stuck on the freeway and lock traffic. Later in the conversation we were talking about kids with cell phones [...]
Origins of Valentine’s Day
Posted in Pagan Holidays on February 14, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Being the Pagan that I am, I can’t help but point out that this custom of Valentine’s Day is another holiday which was stolen from the ancient Pagans who celebrated Lupricalia. Lupricalia is the festival for the Roman Goddess Lupa, who takes the form of a wolf and whose name [...]
Essential Fatty Acids Continued

I realize now that there are a few more things which need mentioning regarding essential fatty acids.
How Much Good Fat do we Need in Our Diet?
According to studies done on each of these essential fats we need about 2% of daily calories should come from omega 3s and 1 – 2% omega 6s in [...]
Essential Fatty Acids
Posted in health concerns on February 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve blogged about how modern science is coming up with better science to improve human life. I’ve also talked about the major drug companies and how they’re in business to make money. So the question remains: how do we maintain good health? To tell people to ‘eat a healthy diet’ is very vague, and people have [...]
