Hi Everyone,
This month Liz and Hanny are (eeep a week late!), but we are celebrating our 2nd anniversary! It's been two years since we started the podcast. This month Hannah goes first discussing ideas for house blessings and cleansings. Liz explores the sustainability of a popular witchy product - sandalwood. Particularly focusing on two main Australian exports. In the podcast we mention Dr Mitchell, but that's the ABC journalists' name. Please see Dr McLellan for the scientific study.
