Celosía para balcón con plantas

Sigo con mi proyecto de jardinería. Lo próximo, antes de quitar el cercado de cañas que da la vuelta al balcón de mi terraza, y que causó que mis plantitas se espigaran buscando el sol, es encontrar una celosía apropiada: que permita que mis brujitas verdes se asomen al exterior, pero que a la vez evite que caigan cosas por accidente rodando desde la terraza a la calle.
Después de mirar mallas, brezos, paneles y celosías, encontré en el Centro de Jardinería Kuka (Valencia) este enrejado fijo de pvc ecológico, en varias medidas, enrejados y colores (blanco, negro, verde, marrón y caña) ¿No está mal, eh? :) Les he contactado por facebook, a ver si cuando en tamaño dicen "cuadro 48 mm", se refieren realmente a la apertura del enrejado, cosa que para mí sería perfecto.. Dejo una foto ejemplo del enrejado de jardinería kuki, y otra de una valla de madera que encontré en el catálogo de protección y ocultación no sé si del leroy merlin o de aki, y que tampoco viene al caso, pero que me encantó por lo bucólico de la imagen... No por nada se llama Romantique.

Samanta Vega Hola. En este producto, cuando se habla del cuadro de 48 mm (Tamaño), se refiere a la apertura del enrejado? Me interesa que el enrejado de la celosía sea grande para que asomen las plantas al exterior del balcón. Muchas gracias.

Jardineriakuka Hola,
48 mm se refieren al tamaño del cuadro del enrejado por dentro, es decir el agujero es de 48 mm. En está foto el enrejado es de 18 mm.
Saludos

Coyote Medicine

Coyote Medicine Woman

FranchotBallinger  observes that stories about Coyote (and Trickster figures as a whole) almost invariably cast the protagonist as male. As a sexual creature, an object of satire, and a transgressor of social structures, Coyote occupied a traditionally male space. Even today, our social imagination typically casts men as the rovers, the wise fools, and shamans. 

Coyote-Woman steps into this vacuum carrying a slightly different kind of medicine in the pockets of her crochet coat. Like Old Man Coyote, she is an Outsider. She saunters back and forth between wilderness and civilization learning the lessons that both worlds have to offer. She plays the fool, capering, clowning, and joking with the best. She is often called a fool because she rages against boundaries and breaks the rules that "only a fool would break". However, in reality, her foolishness is clever, wild, and irreverent.  As Ina Woolcott explains, "Coyote's medicine includes understanding that all things are sacred and that yet nothing is sacred."

This is Coyote-Woman's brilliant power. She sees the world as sacred, but not untouchable. She builds no churches and believes that old, mysterious, and holy objects belong to the world, not on high shelves and museum cases. She honors tradition and history as a living thread that is continually rewoven into new forms.

In fact, she is a new form herself. Coyote-Woman reclaims that traditionally male mythological space as she teaches women to reinvent themselves, test their limitations, discern worthwhile risks from danger, and sing ideas into being.

If First Mother gave women corn and men tobacco, it was Coyote Woman who evened out the deal later.

"To hunt like this was laborious; it took more time than it had before and bagged less. In equal proportions to the rate at which the hunting bounty diminished, plant-gathering increased in value. Within the natural division of work of the primitive people, collecting fruits, root, bark, and birds' eggs fell mostly to the female gender; thus the work of women gained in importance."

The sleeping-seed pneuma

Coywolf. El Súper Coyote. El Espíritu de mi familiar. Una especie híbrida de coyote y lobo (eastern wolves/ red wolves) (aunque muchos apuntan que el propio red wolf también podría ser un cruce aún más antiguo). Anoche tenía claro que el Espíritu del Lobo prende en mi Coyote. Pero me faltaba por resolver un detallito .. Si siento tanta afinidad con Coyote, ¿cómo es que no están por aquí, rondando mi lugar de nacimiento? Quiero decir, entiendo que un melocotón nace en verano y no en invierno, y en el Mediterráneo y no en el desierto. Entiendo, como otro ser vivo que soy, que confluyo en tiempo y espacio con otros elementos afines que me acompañan en mi nacimiento. Árboles, flores, piedras, animales, diosas (representaciones de la Madre Tierra) .. Wicked Sister apuntó que esto podría explicarse como un caso de "evolución convergente" o de "evolución paralela": una respuesta inesperada e interesante .. "se trata de un caso de "evolución paralela o convergente": dos especies de orígenes evolutivos distintos que debido a compartir las presiones de entorno, ambiente, ecosistema, etc parecidas tienden a desarrollar características (morfológicas, fisiológicas, etc) similares." Convergent evolution

Sin embargo esta mañana, tuve mi propia visión de las cosas. Y ahí fue cuando encontré a Súper Coyote o Coywolf:

Tenga o no tenga familia en Mexico (Coyote), lo que está claro es que por parte de mi abuelo-lobo, en Cáceres, estuvimos allí hace muuuchos años: Hernán Cortés. Y estoy segura que de aquellos viajeros, navegantes, exploradores, comerciantes, y también "mercaderes", "mercenarios", muchos volvieron, y continuó desde aquí el linaje .. Y como decía el otro día el Mago-Brujo, el pneuma o semilla mágica serpentea en la sangre de generaciones, y despierta en algunas personas en distintos momentos. Además, siempre he sido un poco India .. De modo que, así como la patata, el cacao, el café .. vinieron del Nuevo Mundo, y ahora crecen aquí de manera igualmente autóctona en nuestras tierras y mezcladas con nuestras tomateras y plantas de calabacín, compartiendo estaciones .. y así, tiempo y espacio, igual viajó el pneuma o semilla mágica de que habla el Mago-Brujo, esa extraña peculiaridad mística, ese don espiritual, en la retina, el pulso, el aliento, el corazón, la memoria .. de aquellos viajantes y marchantes. En este caso, el Espíritu de Coyote con que entraron en contacto ..

Wolf Spirit

I was reading about the meaning of the Soul Medicine that Fox people carry in their pouch .. about how they'd rather look things from a distance, not to take sides and definitely not to get involved. I may keep seeking my familiar spirit under the same stones over and over, I may look like a fool then. But I do know well what is the kind of person that I am not. And that reminds me of far more committed, strong-willed, loyal, self-expressing, bold no matter what .. canids. Wolves. Again.
I was reading about Red Wolf Totem (Innocence) (Canis rufus), White Wolf Totem (Spiritual) (Canis lupus arctus) .. all of them subspecies of the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus), and all of them wolves anyway. Even my Coyote (Canis latrans) (barking dog) (Coyote was the wild Song Dog) was known as the Prairie Wolf, and Brush Wolf, from the petite and lanky plains coyote (Canis latrans latrans) to the stunning and luxuriant mountain creature (Canis latrans lestis). The Eurasian Wolf (Canis lupus lupus) is of course a subspecies of gray wolf. And the Iberian Wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is a subspecies of gray wolf too. Wolves. All over .. again.

She may be tired of being neglected once and again ..

.. while I come to grips with some essential truths 

that I need to know how to handle harmoniously. 

After all, Wolf speaks about Balance, Harmony and Equilibrium.

Wolf fights inconsistencies and vacuum, and regulates 

the Real and the Spiritual planes.

The gaze of this prey-animal reaches into your Soul. Within Celtic mythology, the wolf was revered as the companion of Cerridwen, goddess of the moon and fertility (Budding Trees Moon). The wolf was also one of the four sacred animals of the goddess Brighid (Imbolc). This festival takes place in February, and this month was known to the Celts as Faoilleach, month of the wolf. The Morrigan, goddess of war, death and destruction, would frequently take the form of a red-furred wolf. Shamanistic Tradition in Europe sees the wolf as the animal companion of witches, sorceresses and wizards. Wolf is The Grand Teacher, the sage who, after many winters upon the sacred path and seeking the ways of wisdom, returns to share new knowledge with the tribe. Wolf is both the radical and the traditional in the same breath. When the Wolf walks by you, you will remember.

I wonder what the Celts would have thought about Coyote ... in case they had got to know this "wolf of the prairies". Because Coyote is only native to America. Of course, the Druids could not have been speaking about the special knowledge, the peculiar teaching and the wise fool quintessence of this youngster. Coyote pops in when all the harsh and seriousness is gone. Coyote - The Tricskter (The Wise Fool) is the childlike innocent, playful, passionatedly curious and chaotically creative Spirit of Spring!

Potipoti vegano

Hoy no sabía qué hacer de comer... No es que no tenga ideas; lo que pasa es que ya tengo ganas de nuevas recetas de temporada je je!
De momento, estuve mirando algunos de mis blocs de cocina favoritos, que hace tiempo que no los leo... Me decidí hoy por unas delicias de tofu (el seitán me gusta para la comida del mediodía, pero ya no me da tiempo ahora de preparar mi seitán para la hora de comer) y un acompañamiento de pimientos al que quizá también añada una berenjena. Para ello, mezclé dos recetas: una de La Cocina Alternativa y otra de Gastro Cenicienta. Sí, los pimientos rehogados son muy de mi estilo, así que como no tengo mucho tiempo por la hora que es, decidí probar otro día el guiso de berenjenas que propone CreatiVegan. De todos modos, también voy a prescindir de la masa de hojaldre, de modo que en lugar de la tarta, en el plato habrá sólo el relleno junto a las delicias de tofu... Vamos allá!

La ovejita Marta. Vive en lo alto de la montaña, camino a la Casa de Cerridwen que aún no hemos encontrado... Es increíble la vida emocional de los animales. Y a éstos, tan indefensos, hay que defenderlos.

El Símbolo Sabiano para la primera Luna Llena después del Equinoccio de Primavera (Luna en Libra, Sol en Aries) es Libra 7: Una mujer alimentando a sus pollos y protegiéndolos de las águilas. La imagen representa la manifestación del amor maternal, que mantiene ojo avizor de modo que todo ser vivo que necesite Protección sea protegido. A su vez, la mejor protección que la mujer puede encontrar es su propio coraje... Tener el coraje de las propias convicciones.

The Magician - Cerridwen

First Impression: My first impression of Cerridwen was that this card was really beautiful. I liked it a lot because I love Goddess Mythology and the animals pictured here.

Description: Here we see Cerridwen, with a glowing aura, standing by a water source surrounded with curious animals. She holds by her heart a wand and her other hand touches her stomach by a medicine pouch at her side. The tree behind her buds with the first signs of spring.

Gender: Feminine

Colors: Mint Green, Lavender, Orange, Cafe Brown, White, Light Blue, Black.

Senses: I feel one of my feet touching the cool water, and the heavy cloth of my robe on my skin. I can hear all the forest sounds and the animals that surround me. I can see clearly my intentions, and taste anticipation for the work I am about to perform. I smell the grass, water, and animals.

Symbols: Cerridwen, Fox, Boar, Deer, Budding Tree, Water, Roots.

Story [Intuitive]: She walks steadily through the forest. Already she knows the work that will be done. She has prepared a long time for this moment. When she reaches the designated spot she stands gathering her focus and grounding herself. Her foot reaches out and touches the cool, clear spring drawing from the waters of life. Her aura begins to radiate power and strength. Curious some of the forest animals draw near. The do not fear her, they know her spirit and it is good. Sighing peacefully she takes the wand from her side and places it at her heart. Here she will state her intentions clearly. The other hand gently touches her stomach at her womb. Here she will birth the magic necessary to create change. The wind stirs gently as the magic begins to flow, she smiles confidently...the time has come.

My Experience as the Magician: This card reminds me of spell work. Being a witch I have often used intention to create change in my life. I have also found without focus a lack of intention or direction can create a lot of chaos.

Astrological Reference: Planet - Mercury, and for one year and a day, Cerridwen added herbs at all the correct astrological times to her potion for her son. Story below...

Cultural Reference: The Welsh Goddess Cerridwen is the goddess of wisdom, rebirth, transformation, and inspiration. She is often worshiped in her crone form and pictured with her cauldron of knowledge. She teaches us all the power of feminine knowledge, and how inspiration can lead to beautiful transformation in our lives.

* According to the late medieval Tale of Taliesin, Morfran was hideously ugly, so Ceridwen sought to make him wise. She had a magical cauldron that could make a potion granting the gift of wisdom and poetic inspiration. The mixture had to be boiled for a year and a day. Morda, a blind man, tended the fire beneath the cauldron, while Gwion Bach, stirred the concoction. The first three drops of liquid from this cauldron gave wisdom; the rest was a fatal poison. Three hot drops spilled onto Gwion's thumb as he stirred, burning him. He instinctively put his thumb in his mouth, and instantly gained great wisdom and knowledge. So Ceridwen chased Gwion. He turned himself into a hare. She became a greyhound. He became a fish and jumped into a river. She turned into an otter. He turned into a bird; she became a hawk. Finally, he turned into a single grain of corn. She then became a hen and ate him. When Ceridwen became pregnant, she knew it was Gwion and resolved to kill the child when he was born. However, when he was born, he was so beautiful that she couldn't do it. She threw him in the ocean instead, sewing him inside a leather-skin bag. The child did not die, but was rescued on a Welsh shore. The reborn infant grew to became the legendary bard Taliesin. [story source Wikipedia]

Elemental Reference: I see the waters at her feet and the earth of the budding trees and raised roots.

Numerology Reference: 1 - Leader, Independent, Original, Determined, Self Assured, Creative, Ambitious.

Keywords: Creation, Confidence, Magic, Channel, Intention

Possible Meanings: Making one's dreams a reality, being a pure channel for ideas, having the confidence to create change, knowing one's intentions clearly.

Reversed: Making mountains out of molehills, Using one's power unwisely, creating chaos, feeling powerless to "do" anything about a situation.

El sendero torcido

The Road Not Taken - El Camino No Escogido

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

VIII. Where is Witchcraft Found?

Witchcraft and Sorcery are both found in that mysterious space between a person and his or her familiar spirit. It is found in that strange place between the witch or sorcerer and their spiritual allies, those powers that they turn to when they invoke and conjure. What makes a person "that sort" of person? A person who is open to the mysterious spaces of the Otherworld, and capable of being a "witch" or "sorcerer"?

I don't know. It's not possible to define it; it is a quality that some people have, a strange mystical quirk, and which others don't have and likely never will develop. Many modern traditions of Witchcraft believe that humans were given a mystical gift by the Witchfather or Master, or by ancient Daimon-spirits of light and fire that descended from the heavens. These mythical ideas help to explain why some people are mystically inclined and others are not; the sleeping seed-pneuma of the Bright Master snakes through human bloodlines and awakens in some people at different times.

That's just a story, one common pattern of belief which can be traced back as far as the Book of Enoch. I think it has much merit. But for straight answers, you won't find any on "the crooked path". I don't know what made me attracted to and obsessed with the occult and witchcraft. It was Fate; some would say that I was a scion of the house of Azael, others would think I was just a kook. I myself don't know, and I don't think I need to know.

I do know that for these weird types of people, witchcraft is found between them and their otherworldly contacts, but in other places too- in primordial symbolism that is native to our deep minds and inherited from generation to generation, stretching back to the beginning. It is in sleeping "spiritual forms" native to the land upon which they live and their own minds and bodies.

And it is found, in final analysis, in the practitioners themselves- in the people who unconsciously pass on customs and traditions of great antiquity that have hidden numinous power, in those who recognize these things, regenerate them, and share them, and in those who have tradition "handed down" to them.

***********************************************************************

La Brujería y la Magia se encuentran en ese misterioso lugar que existe entre una persona y el espíritu de su familiar. Se halla en ese extraño lugar entre la bruja o el mago y sus aliados espirituales, esos poderes a que recurren cuando invocan y conjuran. Pero, ¿qué hace a una persona ser "esa clase" de persona? ¿Una persona que está abierta a los misteriosos espacios del Otro Mundo, y que es capaz de ser una "bruja" o un"mago"?

No lo sé. No es posible definirlo; es una cualidad que algunas personas tienen, una extraña peculiaridad mística que otros no tienen y que nunca desarrollarán. Muchas tradiciones modernas de Brujería creen que el Padre de los Brujos o Maestro regaló un don místico a los humanos, o que fueron antiquísimos espíritus o daimones de la luz y del fuego que descendieron de los cielos. Estas ideas míticas ayudan a explicar porqué algunas personas muestran una inclinación hacia lo místico y espiritual y otros no; la semilla durmiente o pneuma del Maestro Brillante que serpentea a través de estirpes y linajes, y que despierta en algunas personas en diferentes épocas.

Ésta es simplemente una historia, un patrón común de creencias que puede ser rastreado tan atrás como El Libro de Enoc. Creo que tiene mucho mérito. Si buscas respuestas directas, no encontrarás ninguna en “el sendero torcido”. Yo no sé qué es lo que me hizo sentirme atraído y obsesionado por lo oculto y por la brujería. Fue el Destino; algunos podrán decir que fui un vástago de la casa de Azael, otros podrán pensar que soy simplemente un chiflado. Yo mismo no lo sé, y no creo que necesite saber el porqué.

Sé que para este tipo de personas extrañas, raras, la brujería se encuentra entre ellos y sus contactos con el Otro Mundo, pero también en otros lugares - en el simbolismo primordial que habita nuestra psique más profunda de manera natural, y que ha sido heredado de generación en generación, y que se remonta hasta los orígenes. Está en “formas espirituales” durmientes, naturales de la tierra que pisan y de sus propios cuerpos y mentes. 

Y se encuentra, finalmente, en los propios practicantes - en las gentes que inconscientemente se pasan entre sí costumbres y tradiciones de gran antigüedad que guardan un poder numinoso, en aquellos que reconocen estas cosas, las regeneran y las comparten, y en esos que han “heredado” la Tradición.

Casa de la Henna

Samanta 30 septiembre, 2013 a las 7:24 pm

Hola – En esta receta se propone aplicar primero la Henna de Marruecos durante 2

horas, enjuagar, y entonces aplicar el Índigo de Rajastán durante 45 minutos, PERO

según el modo de empleo que se explica para el Índigo de Rajastán, se deduce que

debería mezclar en el mismo bol la Henna de Marruecos y el Índigo del Pack Castaño,

es decir, aplicar conjuntamente y no por separado. ¿Es así? ¿Existiría alguna

diferencia?

Muchas gracias.

Un saludo,

Samanta

casadelahenna 1 octubre, 2013 a las 3:33 pm

Hola Samanta. La henna y el índigo se puede aplicar de ambas maneras, en un

paso: añadiendo diferentes proporciones de índigo a nuestra henna ya reposada, o

en dos pasos: aplicando primero la henna y una vez enjuagada ésta, aplicar el

índigo. En esta receta, nuestra clienta ha optado por hacerlo en dos pasos ya que

tiene un porcentaje muy alto de canas y le gusta más el color que le queda

haciéndolo en dos pasos. Normalmente, salvo en cabellos con muchas canas, el

sistema de dos pasos porporciona tonos mucho más oscuros de castaño. Para

castaños medios y rojizos es suficiente el sistema en un solo paso. Esperamos

haberte ayudado. Un saludo :)
