As we head willy-nilly into Lughnasadh and the decline of the year, I am still quite busy in the garden. And if I can't be gardening, then I like to read about gardening. Here are a few good links:
As a DC native it is nice to see a focus on urban agriculture. I have since been transplanted to Richmond and we have some catching up to do, but we do have a urban agriculture symposium scheduled this August, and I just helped to create the first community garden on city property. Have you seen the plans for the urban farm in Detroit?
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
