3rd graders finished their Egyptian sarcophagus', Egyptian self evaluation, and then made these toilet paper Egyptian cuffs! I told the students DO NOT CUT the toilet paper roll UNTIL it's completely dry. The reason being it will loose it's shape and just flatten out on it's own. So simply paint with metallic gold, decorate and glue with sequins, and let dry. Then give it a spiral cut for the cobra cuff or just s single cut for the normal cuff. Students finished working on teamwork skills and their tableteam, patterned, life-size sarcophagus', complete with heiroglyphic cartouches, gold metallic paint detail, and then cut them out. We drew straws for who got to take the treasure home!

Robert De Jesus has made a name for himself by offering a service that works similar to the street artists who caricature people on the spot. Except that you don’t have to leave your house and this artist doesn’t draw caricatures, he just references the photos. So if your hand-drawn portrait is an exaggerated or humorous version of what you see in the mirror, you should probably turn to that mirror once more.

BORDERLINE [BOOK ONE OF FIVE] ✧ Harper Verum agreed to help her best friends find a dead body a little too willingly the night before their first day of sophomore year. If she had known the consequences of sneaking out into the preserve, she would have kicked Scott and Stiles out of her house the second they showed up with hopeful grins. However, that didn't happen. Now, the three of them find themselves with a whole lot of drama on their plates on just the first day back at school. Crushes, enemies- some supernatural, some not.

Catch Me a Catch: Chronicles of a Modern-Day Matchmaker

Of the three Goddesses that form the triple Goddess Morrigan, Badb seems to be the least understood. She calls to us from the misty battlefields of legend, disguised as a hooded crow her shrill cries heralded doom for warriors. She is the banshee, a battle furry, a prophetess, and guides souls to rest and rebirth. Badb stands before us with one foot in the mortal realm and the other firmly in the realm of spirits. Badb’s name means “crow” or “one who boils”. “One who boils” refers to the Otherworldly cauldron she was said to preside over. It was believed that the world would end when her bubbling cauldron overflowed, its brew spilling upon the earth. It seems odd that a cauldron, a symbol of life and the womb, should be used to bring about dead and destruction, but this story reinforces Badb’s connection to both life and death. As the dark Goddess she destroys to create anew. Badb is specifically connected to the hooded crow, a member of the corvine family with a dark gray chest and black wings, head, and tail feathers, giving it the appearance of wearing a hood. In the form of a crow she flew over battlefields inspiring battle frenzy, causing confusion and striking fear into her enemies. Battlefields were once referred to as the “Land of Badb”. When she was not watching over warriors as a crow she wandered across battlefields in the shape of a wolf. Badb’s connection to both these animals, is most likely because both animals would have been found scavenging for food on battlefields. By consuming the flesh of the fallen they were symbolically taking in the warriors’ essence/spirit. Gathering souls in animal form Badb would bring them to the Otherworlds and to eventual rebirth. As the Washer at the Ford, Badb appeared as a phantom who washed the blood soaked clothes of those about to die. Although we would assume in this dark aspect she would appear as a hag or a crone, Badb appeared just as often as a maiden as an old woman. When she appeared to the infamous Queen Maeve she is described as a “white lady, fair with brilliancy” (Leahy, The Courtship of Ferb, p.78). While today we connect black to mourning and death, white remained the color of mourning up until the time of Henry the VIII. White represented the purity of the soul and during medieval times the mourner’s hope for the soul’s entrance into heaven. As Badb often appears lamenting future deaths this is a fitting color for her. The Irish Banshee maintained both a similar appearance and function in folklore, and most likely Badb evolved over time into this faery. Like Badb the faery Banshee was also a death messenger, whose mournful wails heralded a death in the family she watched over. At first glance this phantom washer woman seems like a being to be avoided, but once we shed our fears surrounding death and change Badb can become a powerful ally. She does not cause death or disaster, but instead warns us of the consequence of our actions and guides us through transition and change. Badb teaches us that death is a part of life, and shows us how to part the veil, and draw on the wisdom of our ancestors. She can also teach us to conquer our own self-made phantoms, and confront our shadow-selves, the aspects of ourselves we fear. She speaks to us of death and destruction, yet also guides us toward healing and rebirth. Call on Badb for protection, learning about past lives, releasing negative habits and emotions, communicating with the dead and divination. The best time to work with Badb’s energies is during the new or waning moon. Dark red wine, symbolizing the blood of death and birth would also be an appropriate offering to Badb. Colors: Red, White Sacred Times: New Moon, Winter, Fall, Dusk Tarot Card: Death Badb Invocation The beginning of this invocation is based on the prophesy Badb delivers at the end of the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. Peace to the sky, Sky to the earth, Earth beneath sky, A cup very full, Summer in winter, Spear supported by shield, Bring your blessings to me Badb! Battle fury, Crow Goddess, Both Maiden and Crone, Cauldron keeper, Fate weaver, Badb, lead me towards rebirth! Dumb Supper to Honor the Ancestors This ritual can be done as part of a dumb supper (alternatively it can be done in front of you ancestor altar). If honoring a specific person who has passed create a dinner featuring their favorite foods. Some people prefer to do this on either the loved one’s birthday or the anniversary of their death. Place a white candle in the center of the table to represent the ancestors/ the deceased loved one’s spirit. Pictures of the ancestors or loved one should be placed around the candle. Before serving dinner light the candle and welcome the person’s spirit to the table by saying: Badb, Lady of the Land of Shadows, Open the Veil between life and death, Tonight we gather here to honor the ancestors (or name of specific person) and invite them to sit among us for a short while, and to know that they are remembered and loved. Reminisce about the person who has passed or tell stories passed down in your family about the family’s history/culture. If you wish to speak directly to the ancestors/desceased loved one do so. When you are ready extinguish the candle, saying: Badb, Lady of the Land of Shadows, Draw back the Veil, Close now the doors between life and death, Ancestors and beloved dead (or name of specific person), depart in peace with our love and blessings.
