kaleidoscopethighs asked: Would it be possible to just have a few dreads? Better yet, would it look stupid?
thefirebirdschild asked: I don't have a very big budget for extras right now, and I want to get clip-in dreads so if I don't like them, it isn't a commitment; do you know of any good quality, affordable dreads?
thekindthorn asked: I love your blog both for the witchy things and for the dread info, but I'm gonna hop on this bandwagon as well: I have really long curly hair and I love my curlies, but I also love dreads! What kind of hairstyles have you seen that combine dreads and undreaded hair? Thanks, love! <3
seahopes-deactivated20120116 asked: Hi! I just wanted to ask if you think it would be ridiculous and/or silly to have just one or two dreads? I've wanted dreads for a really long time, but I'm also incredibly partial to having loose hair because it's the longest it's been since I was 6 years old, and I really love it. I also live in an area where I question being able to get a job anywhere besides Mellow Mushroom...
neversayineversaid asked: I'm newly OBSESSED with your blog. It's so beautiful! I'm really sorry to have read that the natural/neglect community has been hatin' on your super individual and lovely locs. As a part of that school of thought, I would like to deeply and sincerely apologize for my peers. Dreads are like religion; we all have to choose our own path but they all ultimately take us to the same...

Dreadlocking with Passion and hope
“Why did you decide to do dreads, and how were you enlightened to making it magickal?”
I was asked this question recently, amongst some other questions, and I decided to leave it out, answer it later. It is such a huge part of my magical and dreadlock journey, that I wouldn’t have been anble to answer it well enough, it needed to be it’s own story.
So, here goes.
When...
thefirebirdschild asked: asamatteroffact; I do (; other than dreadlocks and The Craft, what do you do for you? I've seen your daughter on here and she is BEAUTIFUL, and I can see you do everything for her. Is she a witch? What does she think of Christian dominated public school? What do you think of the Christian dominated work place? How do you handle the reactions you receive to your hair? Why did you decide to do...
Anonymous asked: I'm a black male and I've had a close haircut my entire life. I have decided to start my dread journey for the new year. I'm am very nervous about it all because I've never let my hair just grow out completely. Do you have any tips for me?

dykehaggis asked: I've had my dreads for about eight months now. Before I dreaded up my hair I colored locks of hair orange and purple. The purple dreads came out fine and one of the orange ones. The other orange dread was really weak and brittle, also about five inches shorter in length. The hair healed, and stayed orange for a long time but I never got the length back. I also colored my dreads about two...
Anonymous asked: So I'm really really really considering making 2012 the year I start my dreads, but I'm really scared with going through the ugly phase I guess. Do you have any advice or tips to make this process as easy as possible?
Anonymous asked: is it bad to dye dreads?
Anonymous asked: how many dreads would 1oz of roving make?
Anonymous asked: Hi~ I love your blog! :) I have a dilemma: I want to dye my hair red but I still haven't got the money to get it done; I also want dreads and I want them as soon as possible. Should I dye my hair before getting dreads? Would that be the best thing to do? I don't know anything about dyeing dreads. I bet it would be a hassle. :/ Thanks~

Forget your perfect offering...
forget your perfect offering, ring the bell that still can ring.
There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in:)
(I am reposting this, because it is coming up again in the dread community. :/)
I am at a loss. The dreadlock community is being divided in the most absurd way I could never even have imagined. The way we put our dreads in is the deciding factor for some on...

abracacarrie asked: I work at a pretty well known restaurant in which any sort of deviation from the"norm"is strictly prohibited. I have a few dreads that I've managed to hide but the entire point of dreading was to do my entire head. I don't believe the tiny paycheck I get every week is worth sacrificing a part of myself to benefit a company that doesn't care about its employees. It's...

sylvanshadows asked: I want to start out by saying that I admire you and your strength. I am trying to find myself, trying to find something to believe in. From reading your older posts it seems that your religion is more celebrating yourself and improving you so that you can improve the world around you. Do you have any advice, I've always been more spiritual than religious. I've researched many religions...

Be true to you
Ok, so I have been blogging here on life, dreads, and magic, for a small time now. But I am still amazed at the amount of people that feel less then others, that feel worthless, or like no one understands.
I don’t know why I think it should be different, this was how I felt as a teen, but I guess I thought others had it easier then me.
But now that I am middle aged (am I middle aged:0) I...

treewithtoomanybranches asked: Hey! I absolutely fell in LOVE with your wool dreads on your Etsy! I was just wondering if it is possible to put them in my hair even though I don't have real dreads? I would want to wear them all the time but I want them to look some-what realish. Any suggestions? I am seriously in love with your work! Are they hard to make? Thank you so much!

kittykitty--meowmeow-deactivate asked: Thank you for your suggestion! With the twist and pull, do you back comb it first? And what does aloe and salt water do? I've never heard of using those for dreads, but you are the dread goddess, so they must be for something useful. :]
daisy-chain-x asked: Hiya, I've been making some needle felt dreads and the only problem I'm having is how to attach them. I've been using little rubber bands but they're awkward to take out and it's impossible to brush my hair with them in, any ideas? <3
