New necklace

I got my new necklace in the mail today! I'm so excited, because I think it is really pretty. It came with a little black pouch. It's a pewter pentacle with an ivy circle and a wooden star. I also ordered small pentacle earrings, but haven't received them in the mail yet. I don't think I'd wear both at the same time, because that might be a little overkill.

Pagan Headcovering?

As of late I've become very interested in the concept, of Pagan head coverings. I'm going to be doing a five part blog series on head coverings, covering the history of it, Christian head covering, Muslim head covering, Jewish head covering, and end with Pagan head covering. I found a group on Facebook called Covered in Light that is about Pagan head covering.

While I know you can't wait to hear more about this very interested topic, and I'm very excited to continue my research and write the blogs, I thought I'd leave some links for you to visit to learn more about Pagan head coverings.
