With long purple or blue fragrant flowers, the wisteria is hard not to notice. Depending on the variety, wisterias bloom from April to June. Wisterias need lots of support as they grow, even a wisteria tree may need support for its heavy flowers and branches; so grow your wisteria over an arbor or trellis or fence. Wisterias can be planted in partial shade, but prefer full sun. You won’t get many flowers if you plant it in partial shade.
Though wisterias are common all over the globe, the varieties from Japan and China should probably be avoided....Latin names: Wisteria Sinensis and Wisteria Floribunda These varieties are evasive and could even be destructive to other trees it is planted near. The variety native to the Americas is smaller and slower growing and is much easier to control.
Wisterias are a symbol of friendship and welcoming in strangers and those new friendships...”I cling to thee” and “Meeting you means so much to me”.

What is a "Book of Shadows"?
Originally, the "Book of Shadows" was a term that referred to a coven's collection of spells and secrets. In modern culture, the term is used to refer to a witch's personal diary and/or journal. The purpose is to keep a record of everything the witch learns and discovers. While usually kept private, I have decided to make mine public in the form of a blog. I have done this in the hopes of helping other find magic in everyday life, and especially in the practice of gardening.

The hour comes and now is near
When you the living so shall hear
The voice of Death and those that fear
Shall so be buried and join me here...

Summer Musings

I know a little garden-close
Set thick with lily and red rose
Where I would wander, if I might
From dewy dawn to dewy night

Never Forget
madamearadia posted a photo:
Leap Castle is known for being the most haunted castle in Ireland. The history is long and bloody. The small chapel in the castle has long been one of the most haunted rooms...it even became nicknamed the "Bloody Chapel". Years of rebuilding revealed an oubliette filled with bones of countless victims. Many owners would endure strange accidents and injuries during their stay. Though there are many ghosts, this particular ghost seems to have been seen the most. Stinking of corpses and described as being sheep-like and yet human, this spirit would touch your shoulder or hand and stare at you with eyes that weren't really eyes.....peering and staring, freezing you in its gaze....
