THE CELTIC WHEEL:
I wanted to put this here as you know I am am Celtic and I thought that you would like to see the Yearly Wheel.
As you know almost all of our holidays are Pagan and as you can see on the Wheel that the Yule being one of them.
I am Catholic, BUT my father is part Native American and my mother, God Rest her Soul, was Irish and there is a long line of them in the family as well as my husbands family is Irish and Scotts.
I find a deep love for the Celts and what they loved and felt for their land and if you do believe in reincarnation, well I guess some where along the line I lived as a Celt!

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN 
INCENSE:
Materials:______________
Heat proof dish
Sand
Charcoal Block
Dried herbs or Spices
Place sand in heat proof dish.
Place charcoal block on sand. (You can break these in half if you don't want them to burn as long.)
Light the edge of the charcoal block with a match or taper. (DO NOT HOLD THE CHARCOAL IN YOUR HANDS WHILE LIGHTING!)
Once the block is glowing and the saltpeter in it has stopped sparkling, sprinkle a half-teaspoon or so of the herb or spice on the block.
Use a small spoon if you wish. It will immediately start to burn, and in doing so, release fragrant smoke.
Use just a small amount of incense at first. When the smoke starts to thin out, add more. (If you dump on a large amout of incense at once, it will extinguish the charcoal block, so use a small amount.)
Don't knock off the ash that forms on top of the charcoal unless the incense starts to smell foul. If that happens, scrape off the burning incense and the ash with a spoon and add a fresh spoonful.
The Charcoal block should be left to burn out and cool in the sand.
To extinguish a block before it has fully cooled, quench it in a container of cold water. (DO NOT PICK IT UP WITH YOUR HANDS!)
DIFFERENT SPICES TO BURN:
Here are some herb incenses that can be burned on charcoal blocks as needed.
They are instant incenses, needing no mixing or measuring. Simply grind them before use.
1) Allspice: Burn to attract money and luck and to provide extra physical energy.
2) Bay: Use a small amount for purification and protection of the home.
3) Cedar: Smoulder for purification, protection, to speed healing and promote spirituality, and to obtain money.
4) Cinnamon: Burn to sharpen psychic powers, to draw money, speed healing, confer protection and to strenghten love.
5) Clove: Protection, exorcism, money, love and purification.
6) Fern: Burn the dried fronds indoors to exorcise evil, and outdoors to bring rain.
7) Juniper: Exorcism, protection, healing and love.
8) Pine: smoulder for money, purification, healing and exorcism.
9) Rosemary: Burn for protection, exorcism, purification, healing and to cause sleep; to restore or maintain youth, to bring love and to increase intellectual powers.
10)Sage: Smoulder to promote healing and spirituality.
11)Sandalwood: For Protection, healing, exorcism, and spirituality.
12)Thyme: Health, healing and purification.
EASY WAYS FOR YOU TO MAKE OILS:
Materials:
Fresh or dried herbs/flowers
Jar (any size you want) with a tight fitting lid
Place mineral oil and herbs in jar, place lid on tightly.
Store it in a dark cool area.
Once a week for 2 weeks, shake the jar.
On the third week, strain the herbs out using cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
At this time add more herbs and oil (if needed)and follow the same procedure for another two weeks.
Smell the oil as you go along to determine the strength of the scent you want.
When you have achieved the scent, strain the herbs out again, and store the oil in a dark cool area.
This process may take awhile, but if you can't afford your own oils, it is definately worth the wait. Oils are very expensive!
