I’ve seen three different websites, the first three that pop up when I google “honeysuckle Wicca” with the same exact word for word information that you have here. It’s a shame people can’t put some inspiration into their works! Quality not quantity you know?
ReplyDeleteI do understand what you mean - I do run into a lot of the exact same words at websites as well - a lot of time of cooking websites as well.
DeleteHere it would be surprising if you saw the whole post somewhere else though. I did list (3 resources) where i found most of the information, and then compiled it together.
Thank you for your comment though - it's good to hear
I don’t mean to be rude I love what you are doing here but I’d really love to hear your personal experience with the herb as well
