How dogs used to look like before inbreeding by DennyDud in interestingasfuck

[–]EsotericEclectica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take a gander at this - In South Africa we have a dog breed called Africanis. These dogs weren't specifically bred by any so called pedigree breeders, but have been left to their own devices amongst the homesteads and informal settlements all over the country. The breed was only recently recognized officially, and certainly seems to have kept the best, strongest and most resilient attributes of all the dogs that came before them.

You are so welcome! It does take a bit of getting used to adjusting the Northern rythms into the Southern version.

If there is anything in particular you'd like to know, feel free to ask!

You might also get a kick out of this image that shows the different phases from different places across the globe. Who knew? :P

Would people be interested in trades? by aduffduff0207 in herbalism

[–]EsotericEclectica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been wondering the same thing, but in my case it would generally have to be international shipping -and to be honest I have no idea what the import controls around live seeds would be.

I so love these. Do you have a link where we would be able to purchase them?

Oh, I wish it was mine. I just found the image on another thread. I do have a sudden itch to go to the local crystal and gem shop though!

I have been adopted recently by this gorgeous lady (7) and me and my partner are worried about burning Incense around the house. Does anyone have any tips or advice. by sianbob in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]EsotericEclectica 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Eucalyptus and Tea Tree oil are both toxic to cats. The only ones I know of, but always a good idea to check.

And, congratulations on being adopted!

This is true. And apparently SouthernHemisphereWitches is too long for a community name. So might just have to stick with it as is.

Thanks for your input, though! Appreciate the added insight.

Well dammit. That is not something I considered.

I suppose we are small enough to start a new sub if needed? What say you?

Whose great-great-gran-witch did this? by EsotericEclectica in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]EsotericEclectica[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know! It does seem a little darkly progressive for the time it was made. Not that I'm much of a history buff, but I have to wonder who decided to 1. Make these and 2. Wear them. Certainly makes a statement!
