I'm going to show you how to make a solar rowan cross with rowan twigs and berries and red thread and ribbon. You can hang these above any window or door in your home, or you can hang them near the baby bed to keep the bad faeries away. It can be hung over the pet's bed for pet protection or it can be carried for personal protection. They also make a pretty little craft.

I started thinking about the New Year custom of sweeping out the old year and letting in the new years with hopes of a better year. .......that got me to thinking about Cinderella. She swept the ashes and always longed for a better life. And BAM, she suddenly had one. With the help of a Fairy Godmother and wishing for the new life, she was living what she dreamed.
