Rowan wood

Sorbus, Europen Mountain Ash, which is growing in my back yard. While in the true interest for understanding my Celtic Pagan, and Celtic Wiccan friends better, i am now in earnest studying their craft. Which includes Oghams, the alphabet given to people by ancient Goddess Brighid, who said she had a way to teach the people how to remeber what they forgot, by using symbols they could learn to keep track of what they wanted to recall. -How reasonable and great a gift, the art and craft of writing and reading!

Coincidentally, it was suggested that i join a specific yahoo group for grove/clan/coven members. When also very recently i had decided to harvest and manifest my own set of oghams using the specific sacred woods for each, and simutaneous coincidence, some one asked if anyone knew of anywhere they might acquire a piece of Rowan for some magical work, for the New Moon, this next Sunday, Jan 22nd.

I replied, yes, but idunno, and probably not.

Yes, i have some, and it is perfect for what they described wanting/needing, but having it actually get to them on time, i was afraid, not. Adding especially to the mix, Monday being a Federal holiday and so the USPO was closed. They emailed me their addy and against the odds, it was shipped in a tube Tuesday.

Well, i just got the email! They love the wand i selected and sent, and it was a nice shaped peice that seemed to have created its own handhold, and added an extra, smaller peice, included, which turns out, is perfect for the magical working they had planned. And received it today!
Kool.
Life is never dull, and now i have yet another good story to share.
Blessed Be
