Frosts, Fridays and Thankfulness

Yes, I do realise it is Tuesday… lol

Hello Dear Friend,
As I write this I am swaddled in knitwear, hugging a radiator and a mug of hot tea, after the last couple of months where it was unseasonaly warm, we have just had our first frosts of the year. I do love seeing the frosted leaves and grass, there was even a little mist lingering at the bottom of the downs first thing. The world turns ever onwards and I watch in awe and wonder at the turning of the seasons. My friend Elaine shared some photos from one of her daily walks on her Instagram account @elaineatthecraftshed they capture the frosty leaves in glorious detail. If you like gentle musings on life, living as a vegan and a crafter, give her a follow, she is a lovely soul.

This Week

If your inbox is anything like mine it has exploded this past week with so many ‘offers you can’t refuse’ - really? Watch me. Alongside the legitimate emails, the junk ones have exploded too as everyone scrambles to get a piece of you and your money.

There are lots of initiatives to counter the ‘Black Friday-itis’ with some firms offering discounts or donations to worthy causes. Most are still after your orders though. My best advice for this year, and for Christmas is to support small, independent businesses. There are so many crazy talented people out there making and selling things from candles to notebooks and so much more. If you are in the UK - try looking at Folksy it is the UK based version of Etsy

Seriously, if you want to give the big companies a miss, shop local, shop independent, go to a craft show, there are so many out there at this time of year. Show some love to the folks who create their items by hand, with love and care.

Angels Hierarchy - The Third Choir - Thrones

Despite the name of Thrones, these angels are widely considered to be the actual chariots of God. Ezekiel, that ever present chap when it comes to angel descriptions has a lot to say about the third choir of angels -

And I looked, and behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

Ezekiel 1:4 - 1:6

There is a very long description following this passage, 1:7 - 1:28 which I will not transcribe here, but he describes them as having wheels. The description of these has aroused the interest of modern day UFO hunters, with some of his descriptions being very close to contemporary UFO encounter reports.

Named angles in Thrones include: Tsaphkiel, Oriphiel, Zabkiel, Raguel, Raziel.
