My Love Affair with Bookstores
The saddest fact of my life is that I live in a county without a bookstore. True, we have a place that specializes in antique books , but particular editions of Gone With the Wind or bejeweled Victorian Jewish prayer books don’t fill the craving I get for the literary arts.
I can drive 45 minutes north, up Blood Mtn and over the Appalachian Trail, to the amazing Book Nook in Blairsville . A small store owned by really amazing people, it carries titles that always tempt me and I generally leave with a small handful of new books. They have an amazing selection and are always willing to order books, even for an unrepentant heretic like me. Not something I can say for Barnes and Noble.
Beyond that, my options are limited. Barnes and Noble, also 45 minutes away in Cumming, GA ( beat that, Intercourse, PA! ), is a huge warehouse. Though I love visiting, strolling the aisles looking at titles and browsing at random, their selection generally sucks. It is a sea of thoughtless stocking. No care is given to the selection. The Pagan section is a travesty and I generally only visit that aisle to sigh in exasperation. Yet they do carry SageWoman , Witches & Pagans , and sometimes Pentacle magazine. I used to get my beloved PanGaia there, whose loss I still mourn.
Yes, I know Kindle is ecologically, economically and spatially more viable. I don’t care. Call me a troglodyte, a Luddite, a Romantic, nostalgic or just plain stubborn. I am madly, passionately in love with books. They are physical entities that hold their own energy. Even when I have no time to read, just touching a Jane Austen, Bernard Cornwell or Byron Herbert Reece volume stirs my soul. Some of my books, dog-eared with notes in the margins, have been read so may times that I swear they are imprinted with my energy and I have a special relationship to that particular volume that outweighs my connection to any other copy of that particular book.
I have a bible my mother gave me. When I became a young woman, maybe 13 or 14, my mother let me pick out the bible I wanted. As a devout child it was the single most amazing thing my often-disconnected mother ever did for this lifelong bibliophile. I researched the different translations and editions of the bible and picked out the Scofield KJV study bible as my own. Long before I converted and had the experience of crafting a BoS and building an altar, this was the first profound instance of having my very own specialized religious experience. It has a note from her in the front and it contains a sweetness deeply in contrast with it’s contents. It was this bible I poured over, filled with bookmarks and eventually set aside as both irrelevant and insulting to my religious life.

How to Choose a Shampoo
A shampoo should satisfy all these requirements: highest quality natural ingredients, totally organic, non-detergent and containing no artificial colors or scents. Many commercial shampoos on the market – even those claiming to be “natural”— contain artificial colors, perfumes and detergents that dry and damage hair, clogging follicle openings rather than cleansing your scalp. Shampoo not only washes your hair, it keeps it healthy and strong. Make sure you’re using the best shampoo for your hair type.
How to choose a shampoo
Detergents and color additives leave harmful coatings on the hair. Synthetic scents dry out hair, damaging the shafts by making them overly brittle. The scalp becomes plugged up, disturbing its natural pH balance. Dandruff, itchiness, premature thinning and significant, eventual hair loss are the undesirable results.
In addition to harsh chemicals, shampoos containing such ingredients as berries, tomatoes, guava, etc. are wisely avoided. You need an effective natural shampoo for your hair, not a fruit salad! However enticingly “organic” they may sound, these not-so-naturally derived fruit and vegetable ingredients tend to plug up pores, dry out hair and disturb pH balance, which damages the natural texture of your hair.
Contrary to ‘conventional wisdom,’ it is not necessary to purchase special formulas for dry, normal or oily hair; or short or long hairstyles. In fact, these supposedly special-purpose shampoos contain even more harmful, toxic ingredients.
When selecting a shampoo, trust your nose! If the shampoo has no synthetic scent and smells wholesome and appealing instead, it is very likely a good, healthy shampoo for you. The ‘smell test’ is highly reliable and individualized. Each of us has a different chemical balance that changes with circumstance and age. There is no single shampoo that can be recommended indefinitely for everyone.
How to choose a shampoo – Short Instructions:1. Identify your hair type. Is it oily? Normal? Consult your hairdresser if necessary.
2. Feel lucky if you have normal hair. Choose a shampoo that is made specifically for normal hair, and make sure it’s meant for daily or every-other-day washes.
3. Opt for a moisturizing shampoo for curly hair, and a protein-based shampoo for kinky hair
4. Choose a gentle shampoo that is made specifically for oily hair and/or for daily use, if your hair gets greasy. Make sure it has ingredients like tea tree oil, sage oil and chamomile.
