I ran across this saying on my witch site...it struck me & I thought I would give it a try. "Someday you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through, and it will become someone else's survival guide."  Brene Brown My first memory was when I was 2.  It was the house we lived in that was very creepy even to my young mind.  I remember talking to beings that no one else...

There are so many symbols, rituals, feasts, and ways to work Magick.  There are many ways to practice: Coven-Based Witch Solitary Witch Hereditary Witch Crystal Witch Cosmic Witch Green Witch Hedge Witch Plant Witch I am a Solitary.  I perform my rituals alone.  I use Tarot, pendulum, candles, crystals, and my Book of Shadows. I have an athame, a chalice, ceremonial bowl,...

I hear this when people find out I am Wiccan.  I get tired of it.  The truth is most Wiccans are more tolerant, kind and giving then some Christians I know. 

My favorite feast day approaches. Samhain (pronounced Sow-wen) is the third harvest of the year.  It means summer's end in Gaelic.  It is the end of the Celtic year - it is the last feast on the Wheel of the Year.    On this day, the great God of the Sun dies, and leaves his widow, the Goddess Crone, to mourn him until Yule (Winter Solstice) when he will be reborn, and light will...

I have been away from here for a while.  When I did check in it was so disturbing I stayed only briefly.  I have found myself questioning on what is truly important as I watch women's rights get flushed and maniacs running for office.  And worst thing - people I thought were "normal" supporting these wackadoodles.  I just fell into a place where I couldn't deal with this.  I was actually...

Lughnasadh occurs every August 1st.  It is the first of three harvest feasts.  This one has fresh veggies and grain as its mainstays.  The tradition is to shape bread into a representation of the Green Man (Lugh). About the God Lugh Lugh is a Celtic god who was once worshipped across Western Europe and the British Isles. Other names for him are Lug, Luc, Master of All Skills, and The...

I am worried.  Normally I can shrug things off more easily than I am able to at this moment.  Everything appears to be crashing around me & I have gotten caught up in the wave. My husband, daughter and I are joining in on a family trip (my sister, one of her daughters and her family, my nephew and his family) to grand old Kentucky to see my 87 year old mother the second week in August....

Litha was beautiful.  A gorgeous day.  We even got into the pool.  I have a few pictures of my baked goods.  I never got a chance to get the main course.  They attacked with a vengeance. and de kabobbed my kabobs before I could snap any pics. My pineapple upside down cake turned out PERFECT for the first time in my life. My Fairy HoneyCakes.  There were six, but one for the fairies. So...

Another Feast Day is upon me.  Midsummer or the Summer Solstice is the most powerful day of the year for the Sun God.  It is a Fire feast so bonfires will be lit.  My hubby's favorite part (after the feast food of course) is the bonfire.    Summer flowers  all through my house and  summer berries adorn my dinner table. Bright colors of green, blue and yellow flow throughout my...

                                        This Beltane I will be working on my Summerland garden area.  I will be putting up my shepherd's hook with my 2 Hummingbird feeders, my bird bath, and my gazing ball in a triangular pattern and then I will be planting colorful blooms to attract butterflies and hummingbirds in a triquetra pattern. I have my trellis ready and my little garden...

Ostara celebrates the spring equinox. Ostara symbolizes fertility, rebirth, and renewal.   Deep within the cold earth, seeds are beginning to sprout. In the damp fields, the livestock are preparing to give birth. In the forest, under a canopy of newly sprouted leaves, the animals of the wild ready their dens for the arrival of their young. Spring is here....
