Connections

I have found a great connection to the world around me.As a witch my history goes back to the beginning when the women directed the tribe.



It was due to our knowledge of what was around us.What we used to cure the ill and to protect our people from what was around us.We saw the sky,the wind,the flames of the fire,the rain ,the changes of the earth and we understood.



As time went on we were pushed in the background due to the fear of the emerging hierarchy with in the tribe.



We have been in the background but have aways had the connection to the surroundings and the power.



What I have seen is that we as women and witches have reclaimed our power and brought forth our knowledge and connection.



When I stand and gaze at the moon in the dead of night I heard what is around me.

I hear the voice of the Goddess

I hear the voices of my Sisters

I hear the voice of my past

I hear the voice of the elements and I am one with all

Frogs

I would like to speak tonite about something that has been going on since April 7, 2009.

A young friend of mine was assaulted in a hospital while working.She went to the police, reported the assault and has been going to court since April 2009,

Today the judge found the man not guilty.I will not spend this time writing how are system makes victims of crime,victims time and time again.How the victim is on trial not the criminal. We all that and as women it is one of our fears when we report assaults against us.

What I do want to speak about is the absolute courage and conviction of this young women.she has had to stand before strangers and in great detail describe what happen to her.She has had her case delayed for almost 1 year,yet showed up every time as indicated. She has had the defence attorney attack her in preliminary court appearence and at trial.She remained stearn and steadfast in the details, regardless of what he tried.I have been amazed to watch her at this extremely painful time in her life.
The fear that crept up each time she went to court. She still went...

The case did not go as expected for her. She was hurt and disappointed that she could not find resolve in the court system.For me, I saw a young women gain her strength and power. Know one can take that from her. I applaud her for what she did and note the strength she carries within herself.

I also know that right now she would like to turn several people into frogs, but that is for another day...

Witch,Witch Your a Witch

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I heard the word ...Witch, Witch your a Witch

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep ,I heard the cries of pain from my Sisters long past

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep ,I hear the pleas from the innocent for mercy

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I see the flames as they engulf my Sisters

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I see the tree where their bodies sway in the wind

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I feel the fear as they are locked in the dark

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep ,I feel the pain that my Sisters experienced

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I feel the chains on my hands and feet

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I feel the cold on my skin as I wait for judgement

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep, I feel alone ,even though my Sisters are there

In the dark of nite as I try to sleep... the light comes through and I feel the embrace of the Goddess and I am safe...

Out of place

I have always felt out of place. Even as a child I knew I was different.I looked different from my family.We come from German and Italian decent and here I am red hair,green eyes and freckles.
Could I look any more Celtic ?

I would feel things before they happen.Dreams that were so real. Knowing who was at the door before the bell rang.Who was on the phone as the call came through.What TV shows would be shown....just alot of that.

The feeling that I had done this before was the strongest of all. I just keep quiet and to myself. For years I kept going to find my place especially in the religious community. I tried just about everything but nothing fit. I had come to the conclusion I just did not belong any where. I would sit in a church filled with people and be alone.

One day I was a Boarders Book store and picked up The Goddess Within, then came The Women's Spirituality Book. Read both and I was on my way. Not quite sure but I knew I was on to something and something very remarkable....self direction and self control.The church going stopped and the reading began.Slowly I found myself entering the great Sisterhood of the Goddess.I had not yet used the word Witch .

That would be awakening that was a change for ever. At that early point I had not given myself that freedom to use the word.To me the word Witch is very powerful and respectful for all those who died for that word and those who were wrongly accused and killed as they were proclaimed a Witch.

I am a Witch and one with great reverence for all those who have gone before me,who stand with me now and those who are coming...

As time goes by....

Had an experience that has shown me that I will and need to practice alone. Have a friend that asked her circle to invite me to join. I meet with the women who runs the circle and it seem alright.I did have a feeling in my stomach and as it seems I should have listen.

Had the first ritual this pass holiday and some incredible things happen that I will explain in later writings.thought all went well with everyone also.I knew she had control issues but not to the extent that I experienced last Friday when she +"summon " me to her house to talk.

The long and the short of it she wants control over my daily life also...not going to happen in this or any other life time.She even went as far to say that when she calls I have 24 hours to return her call. Please...the only women that can expect that is my mom and she id dead.so that means know one has that power over me...

So that is off...I will continue to practice with me and who better to understand me than the Goddess and myself and the journey continues

Just me

I am not famous as Laurie Cabot or the many others in Wicca.What I am is one women who has found her way and is exploring it daily.

There are many rewards and concerns.Yesterday I was wearing my pentagram and a women asked what it was around my neck.I told her it was a pentagram and she asked if I worship the devil.when I went to answer she answered her phone and that was the end of the conversation.

As a Witch I know that this belief is common among those who are not aware.
How much time do you share with someone who already has a preconceived idea...plus she is not the brightest bulb on the tree.

I will deal with it when it comes again..

The Journey Begins....

It has been a struggle to make the decision to come out and let the people around me know who I am.

Yes...I am a practicing Witch. This will be a diary of my journey along the path. Thoughts,practice and the growth of one women to become who she was born to be.

It has been dark in that closet and so very alone. I am Blessed that I have found the courage to open the door and step into the day.

It has been stated , Once a Witch always a Witch....this is so.
