If you are looking for a stress reliever, check out this coloring book. It was a purely restful hour, one of those peaceful and relaxing moments that bring back memories of childhood. Just the title page took me a little over an hour to color. The pages are whimsical and elicit thoughts of my own garden. Personally, I decided to use pencil crayons over markers because I found that pencil crayons come in many different shades of green and we had tons of them left over from when the kids were in elementary school. There are even pages where you can finish the drawings yourself, so be creative. The pages are beautifully drawn and the book is a kind of treasure hunt where you look for things hidden in all of the doodles. I'm not sure if the salesclerk told me that just to get me to buy the book, but it really doesn't matter what language this book is in - it is a coloring book for adults or really artistic and patient kids. I purchased the French version of the Secret Garden coloring book because my local bookstore ran out of the English version and as an added bonus, I was told that the French version also had 2 posters to color. If you loved DoodleArt, then you will absolutely enjoy the Secret Garden Coloring book. Are any of you old enough to remember DoodleArt? These were posters that you colored in with markers and if you were lucky, those markers lasted long enough to complete the entire poster.

Religious Witchcraft is not merely a system of magic, but is a Pagan mystery religion worshipping Goddess and God and venerating the Divine in nature. Media images often show Wiccans as teenage women, but in fact it is practised by males and females of all ages. When people in Britain describe themselves as Wiccan though, they generally mean that they are practising a form of religious Witchcraft. Wicca was used originally to distinguish the initiatory tradition of Witchcraft practised as a religion, but American popular television series have adopted the word to include what would once have been called natural magic or white witchcraft. However, although Wicca and Witchcraft are often used interchangeably, it is important to note that there are also Pagan Witchcraft traditions that are not Wiccan. Today, the name Wicca is frequently applied to the entire system of beliefs and practices that make up the spectrum of contemporary Pagan Witchcraft.
