For example, the word etymology itself comes from the Greek word etumología broken down into two parts. Etumon which translates to “true sense” and logia which means “the study of”.

Seriously, what is it about this time of year that make people think that they are inadequate human beings that they not only have to kick old habits and start new ones but, that instead of changing a few little things, I hear people saying ” a whole new me”. What was wrong with the whole old you?! Nothing that’s what!!!
Glastonbury Festival was started by founder and somerset dairy farmer Michael Eavis back in the 1970’s. Michael apparently had the idea to create a festival while watching a Led Zepplin gig at the open air festival ‘Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970’.

There is enough granite in the buildings to give them a lovely silver sparkle when the light hits them. Lovely!
So what exactly do I mean when I state that there is non authentic hippy clothing on the high street? Well, to be honest, I mean exactly that – the clothing that you will find today in your high street shops are a very mainstream version of what it should be. Some of you would have noticed the sudden influx of high street companies coming up with their somewhat watered down version of our much loved hippie clothing. In recent years we have seen some quite major chains try and cut in on the trend.

After a day at work many people like to get home and change out of their work clothes. For many of us this means changing out of “normal” people clothes and into our normal hippy clothing.

So, just what are chakra’s? – this is a question that lots of people want to ask but just don’t. Chakra talk is everywhere and some people just expect others to know exactly what they are talking about when discussing them. Rubbish – we all had to start somewhere right?!
