STUFF!

[mynewplace]

I have stuff!    And I want to give my stuff away! 

On the suggestion of my friend seroquelsI signed up at Paperbook Swap, and listed the books I wanted to give away, as well as a couple of books I wanted to receive. I did the same thing at a site called Swaptree. Paperbook Swap has contacted me six or eight times already compared to Swaptree's two, so I'm going to be quite successful in unloading my books and maybe getting a few new ones in exchange. 


However, that isn't why I'm posting.  I have some things that are a bit more special.  I feel I've gained great education from these books (etc) and I'm ready to move them on to someone else.  I want to offer these things to you first, faithful readers.  I'm listing them here, and if they aren't claimed within a week or so I'll add them to the lists at the book swap sites. 

#1 - A lovely tarot deck.  I bought two or three at once and gently used them all to determine which "felt" right.  I've decided to keep my All-Saints deck, and the deck entitled "Quick & Easy Tarot" remains. It needs and deserves a home. It's SO beautiful, and the explanations on the card are quite interesting.  They show no signs of wear, but there is a teeeeny tear on the bottom flap of the box. And I do mean teeny. 

#2 - Mugworts In May: a folklore of herbs is a lovely little book written by a woman who lives in Harpers Ferry, WV.  it was a gift from a friend who tried to encourage my fey tendencies. I've enjoyed it, but don't feel it meets any current needs.  

#3 - A Witch's Runes Another book by a West Virginia author. It gives instructions on making your own runes, and I've made a set.  I tihnk it's time for this book to move forward in the world. 

#4 - The Goodly Spellbook. Absolutely Beautiful Volume, with the dustjacket intact and the spine still stiff.  I loved looking at this, but I don't feel I use it with the frequency it deserves.  She needs a new home. 

#5 - The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft.  The cover on my book is different from the one you see in the link.  And it has a very small tear in the upper right hand corner. This is a great book! Again, I don't feel it gets the use it deserves.  I have learned a great deal from it, but don't feel the need to hang on to it.  

#6 - Linda Goodmans Love Signs Volumes I & II.  These are 1978 vintage and the dust jackets show it. They are two of her classics, and probably should be in a library or something.  I got what I wanted from them and now they need to be with someone who loves Linda Goodman and all she wrote.  The picture you see on the website is of Volume I.  Volume II has a white dust jacket.  


NOW.  I am not getting rid of all my witchy stuff, merely culling the herd that's accumulated.  I don't want money for any of these things, not even for postage. That will spoil the karma, I think.  If any of you are interested drop me a comment (which will be screened) with your address, and I'll send your preferred item(s) to you.  Unless you're one of the locals. Then we'll work something out.

Anita, if someone hasn't already claimed The Goodly Spellbook, I would love to have it. It's on my wishlist at Amazon! :)

[sapphirescarlet.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! You would be a great home for her. We'll get together.

[skyearthandsea.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll see you next Saturday. We need to look for it in the paper, because I need the time so I can post it on Myspace and LJ. She didn't put the time on the sheet she mailed out *eyeroll*

Also, I've been talking to a guy in Gainsville who has a poetry group that does slams and readings at a local bar and they are planning to hit the road in the spring. We are going to try and make Charleston one of their stops. I was thinking Taylor Books might host, or Capital City Roasters (have you ever been there?)

And the UUC has offered their facility for readings and workshops. We are planning to do something in April. I might have told you that already though!

I've never been to CC Roasters. I saw the guy on Myspace from Florida.

I don't know if I can come Saturday. That's my weekend with Scarlett and she was pretty tortured last time I took her. I am planning to go to the art sale at the UU Church that weekend, tho.

Good thing about http://www.swaptree.com is that its cds, dvds and video games, so not just books.

heres a video of swaptree that does a good job of showing what it's all about:

Yes, I like that. But I also like paperback swap because it accepts books on cassette as well.

Mugworts in May if you please.

I would be more then happy to pay costs or what have you.

[sapphirescarlet.livejournal.com]

You may certainly have it. If you'll comment again with your address, it will remain screened. Mugworts is quite small, won't cost much at all to mail.

Re: address

[sapphirescarlet.livejournal.com]

But I don't know your name. :-S

"A lovely Tarot Deck" Please? I would love to have this one if it is still available. May I?

[sapphirescarlet.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Comment with your mailing address, and I'll drop it in the post.
