Hiding

All of my previous posts are, well, not here.  Not yet at least.
You see, I live in a VERY Catholic area....
       Very Catholic and very judgy....
And, to be honest, I've been scared to hit that 'publish' button.

 But then I got to thinking--why?  I sit here and tell kids that are scared to be who they truly are to not hide and not care what others think, as long as they are authentic.  And here I am, hiding, for fear of the thoughts of others.

 Well, not anymore.  I've started creating, in my home business that I've started w/art, wish jars.  Yes, they're spell jars and balls.  But yes, the community is more apt to the word wish.  Fine, I'll accommodate.  

 People who know me, know who I am.  And, if not being of the same beliefs makes them think differently of me, then shame on them.  But my view of them shall not change.  

 SO here I am, the newest out witch in SOLA.  I do rituals and spells and wish nothing but the best for the universe.  I am a healer and an empath.  I practice Reiki and energy work, and do believe in my soul that these things make a difference.

 I am a witch.  And I am proud to say that.

 Blessed be.  And be blessed.

Changing Times

Oh, how the world has changed since I started this journey.  I feel as though that's why I found this part of me when I did.  I needed to change myself so I could handle the changing world.  I know I wouldn't be so well off if I hadn't changed.  I just can tell my anxiety would be getting the better of me much more often.  Earthy-existence can be quite frightening right now.  But most days I'm calm.  In fact, I think I've had only one anxiety-stricken moment....   I spend most of my days at home now.  Lou is on her last week of online classes.  I spend many moments of my days doing and saying little things to keep The Boy and The Hubby safe since they are "essential."  I cook and read and learn to love the moments of nothing throughout my day.  I am spending a LOT more time outside just existing.   I don't craft as much as I did at the beginning of my journey.  I can't just go out to the store daily...

The final word?

 This will, most likely, be my last public post, at least for the time being.  I know I haven't posted in ages in the first place, but I'm just making it final. When I started this particular blog, I was just starting on my journey.  I wanted this blog to be my journal of the process of finding my way.  I've been working on myself, my journey, my spirituality, my craft for a year now.  And I have discovered so much yet have so much more to find. As of late, I have been writing here, but keeping it as drafts.  I find solace in putting my words down, yet them remaining only mine.  I don't call it a book of shadows.  I write many things down in various places.   In a sense, my words all around me are my book of shadows. I may someday write again for others to see.  But for now, I have grown to the point where I am selfish with my words.  They shall remain only mine to keep. Blessed be, friends.  Remember that magick is a...

What's been going on

 Just a few things that I've been doing: I did a manifestation ritual on 11/11.  It used candles that represented health/prosperity/love/protection/self.   Since Samhain I've felt a presence when I'm at my altar area.  It's always on my right side.  I have a friend coming one day to help me be sure it's a guide and not something dark.  I don't think it is, but it's better to be sure, and she's better at that part in her practice. I bought some new Oracle cards--  Dark Mirror, Wisdom of the Night, and Dream.  I'm hoping they help me grow in different aspects of my practice.   I've been so tired after work each day.  I'm so unprepared in the mornings that I haven't been writing down my dreams.  I need to make myself write down what I remember right away so I can add them to my log later.   I did a Reiki session on my mom the other day.  It felt good to use my skills to help.  It seemed she fully enjoyed t...
