On The Lookout

for sculls,

for rocks,

for oysters (especially ones with pearls),

for eagle feathers,

for mushrooms,

for owl feathers and

An Herb: Kava Kava

This is a Kava Bowl that was used to mix the elixer. Here's traditional recipe for the Kava kava root beverage:

Put Kava Kava Root powder in a nylon satchel. Use 2-4 Tbsp of powder to about 4 cups of cool water. (Never use boiling water as it reduces its potency.) Put the satchel in the water and knead it and squeeze it with your fingers under the water. The longer its in the water the stronger it gets, leave at least 5 minutes kneading regularily. Then drink it down with gratitude and enjoy a relaxing night.
