Several years ago my friend Sue ,told me her experience one Halloween night. She was taking her grand daughter around that night for trick and treats. Sue was dressed as a witch,which she is ... a young girl around 6 or 7 came over to her and wanted to ask her a question. Sue knelt down to her level and the young girl ask " are you a real witch, Sue replied yes and so are you my little sister". The young girl smile,nodded and walked away.Sue had given her a great gift, early recognition of who the young girl is... a witch.
I have had conversations with 2 very wise witches. My mentor and my guide. Both have spoken about the fact that witches are born and not made.That one witch can recognize another even if the other does not know she/he is a witch.I have done this once with a close friend. When we met I knew she was awitch as she knew there was something " different" about me.I a matter of 2 weeks from that meeting I disclosed what I am and also that she is one... a witch.
I agree with both of them.We are born and not made. My guide ( a very wise male witch ) encourages me constantly to listen to myself that the answers are there.What I find astounding about our relationship is that he does not give me an answer me makes me find it in myself. He has given me the freedom to be me...a witch.
What I have given myself is the courage with the grace and support of the Goddess to follow the path and become greater in myself. I have found myself and that has brought me great contentment.

Surprise "He " is a Witch
I first would like to start this entry with an apology to all my male counterparts. I have been remiss to leave them out of Blessings and Prayers. They, my Brothers as so important to us.
I was recently reminded of this after meeting a gentleman who is a witch. Not a magician or sorcerer , but a witch.
I had forgotten the duality of what I practice. The God and Goddess, The Lady and The Lord, The Ying and Yang. I do hold my head in shame and ask them to forgive me.
This Witch has enlighten my understanding and practice in a short period of time. He has been open and sharing in his beliefs and practice. I thank him for that.
Our male counterpart is so important to our practice. They bring to us and me their history. Their experiences and their views.
The balance needs to be kept and I am glad he has joined me to bring that balance. I am sure we have met on the circle that is our life. The thoughts that we share in common has shown me that. I look foreword to more conversations and exchanges, so that I can gain with his assistance in my craft.
He is a true witch. One connected to the land, wind, fire , water and spirit. I thank him for that and again send a apology to all my male counterparts for " forgetting" how important they are to the balance of myself, my craft and the world.

A Prayer for Healing
As I stand humbled before the Goddess, I marvel at the beauty of her creations. But all is not well.
As I stand humbled before the Goddess, I can hear the cries of the children as they are starved and beaten.Held prisoner by their circumstances.
As I stand humbled before the Goddess ,I can feel the pain and fear of the animals.Their cages man made.
As I stand humbled before my Goddess,I can sense the loneliness of the elderly who have no where to turn and do not find compassion.Their isolation has made them a prisoner of their fear.
As the day turns to night and the moon shines on me I send my prayer to the wind to be carried to all.
I ask my Goddess to protect and free those who are held against their will.
I ask my Goddess to lend comfort for all those in pain.
I ask my Goddess to fill the hearts of the sad with love.
I ask my Goddess to extend her knowledge to a world that lacks the desire to learn about they they do not know and fear
I ask my Goddess to wrap her arms that shine so brightly with love around those who are lonely.
I ask my Goddess to fill the bellies of all who are hungry.
I stand before the Great Mother of all of us and I thank her for the compassion and love that she has shown me. For the path that I follow I know she walks with me as do my Sisters and Brothers ,each in their own way. They bring to the world such compassion and concern that they make each day worth living. They have brought change to what they touch.They find in their hearts the drive to protect those who have no one to protect them. For the weak and the vulnerable.They have become the voices in the desert and they will not be silenced!
