Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is the place where you can leave your suggestions, comments, etc about the guild newspaper.

Tell is if you liked this issue, if you didn't like this issue. Tell us what you liked or didn't like about it.

Tell us what you'd like to see in future newspapers, such as which herb, gemstone, god, etc that you'd like to read about.

Tell us what new articles we should have.

Just tell us anything really. We love to hear our members' feedback. And don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings. We need constructive criticism and your ideas to be able to make this newspaper better.


Here are some ideas/suggestions that have been given so far:
- A beginner craft practitioners section (how to get started)
- An advanced craft practitioners section
- An animal totem section
- A magickal creatures section (dragons, unicorns, faries, etc)
- A current events article. What's going on in the pagan world that we, a smaller, more secluded, audience should know about.
- Featured author of the month. Maybe not even author, but book. Like a book review.
- An astral projection/bilocation section
- A newspaper staff
- A featured Pagan artist/album section

So, we've had some great suggestions/ideas so far. Let's hear some more! Or maybe you could just tell us your thoughts on the current suggestions.

Acorn flour... I actually have no clue. I'll have to look that one up. And I think I would recommend going to a park and picking acorns up, or in your backyard even. Although, if it's possible, I think that picking them straight off the tree would be better, but I wouldn't know how to tell if they were ripe or whatever.

We attempted to put the newspaper on a website, but, it just wasn't working... too many pop-ups and other ads, etc. So, we decided to place the newspapers in here. So, from now on (or at least for now, you never know) they will be located here only.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. And I'll get back to you on the acorn flour. biggrin

This issue was awesome! Hooray for all the people who worked on it! I am also interested in the acorn flour bit.

Oh wow!

I went and looked at the site Rainbow sited the recipe at and found this there:

http://www.prodigalgardens.info/processing acorns step by step.htm

It mentions that acorns do have tannin (which is why they are bitter) and gets some steps on processing acorns.



BTW; I forgot to mention I love the dream pillow idea. smile

I think we should actually have something for the people with ghosts problems. I mean sage is generally a good removal procss for spirits, but not once have I seen it actually remove a ghost. I also think you should start making a cook book! I mean some of the recipes are wonderful! And tannin isn't poisonus to humans unless consumed in large amounts. I mean the tea you drink has tannin in it as does grapes.

It's a very good warning,some people are allergic to it. And if your looking for acorn flour, I would suggest trying to find it already made. It's usually only made in specialty shops because humans don't tend to eat acorns much anymore. XD

You mean with the classified ads? That would be a good idea, but people would just post them in the guild which would be free. So, then no one would put them in the newspaper. So, it'd be pretty pointless.
