Cajun Witch

Strange things I've said/done since starting this journey: ~collecting yarn, even though I can't sew ~transferring herbs to and from my room/kitchen ~Saying good morning to the tree in my yard, the plants my daughter is growing, the spider that I'm terrified of in my mailbox ~Saying aloud, "Damn, that was a sign," hours after something happens ~mentally debating if I should get a jar for the rainwater when it's falling ~changing clothes just to do something witchy and then back again ~arguing with myself about whether there's something in my dream that's important ~taking pics of random grass and weeds to look up if they're important ~going to the store for one thing, and leaving with many many others.  And, when questioned, simply saying, "because witchy." I'm sure there are more...I may add more as I go.  These just popped in my head while reading another's page. Be blessed.

Yesterday was strange. First off, from the moment I woke up, I heard voices (in my head).  Something/someone was saying something....almost muffled yelling...but I couldn't understand it.  I tried meditating.  I tried mindful sitting.  I just couldn't get it. To be fair, I have been asking lately that my guardians come to me in my dreams.  Instead of that happening, I've been having repetitive dreams from when I was younger.  I used to have these 3-5 same dreams all the time.  They're all about people in my past/past relationships.  They're all fictional events.  But now they're back. I can't shake this feeling that something is calling to me.  Something or someone is trying to tell me something, and I don't know how to hear it. ~~~~~ Now, for the "signs" title.  We were taking the boat out yesterday for the first time.  It's an old boat that The Hubby has worked a lot on, and Saturday he got it up and running fin...

You ever get that feeling?    That feeling that, and you have no idea why, but something is a GREAT idea you MUST do NOW? I got that this morning. I pulled out a pot and filled it with water.  I then added orange and lemon slices as it started heating up.  I then went to my herbs and pulled rosemary, thyme, and sage and tossed them in!  While this process began, a song came on KPPR Pure Pagan Radio  (in case you want to check it out).  I looked it up,  Firebird's Child  and had to upload it to my playlist.  It moved me, and I put on some "witchy" clothes I've scrounged up.  I danced and sang.  I lit sage and spun around in the smoke.  I chanted and told any bad vibes in my home to be gone.  It was wonderful! I haven't moved like that in a very long time.  I feel so free and happy...and sweaty (But that's what happens when you don't move much).   I don't know if it was a witchy thing to other, o...

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...

So my day went better yesterday once I vented.  Thanks for that. After my blogging, I went outside and did some weeding around part of our driveway (it's HUGE, so I couldn't get it all done in one day).  I then drank some tea, meditated, and cleaned around the house some.  And, in that time, made peace with all that was troubling me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I ordered some witchy things the other day.  Once every couple of months I add to my collection.  I am SO glad these things came in when they did!  I'll post links and pictures once my phone gets off of punishment (it hasn't been keeping a charge at all). The place I ordered from is here --  Magick Planet So, I ordered two ADORABLE little dragons to add to my decor around my altar space I FINALLY bit the bullet and got myself a mortar and pestle.  I am SO stoked about this purchase.  I've looked for months for just the right thing. I got a new Oracle deck!  I have only heard thing...

Let's take a moment off the topic of witchery... Instead, I want to tell you something more personal about my life.  I have a sister....technically a 1/2 sister, but I didn't know that 'til we were adults.  Anyway, she's about 6 1/2 years older than me.  She didn't like me growing up.  I was the annoying little bother.  Once she was an adult and moved out, we became closer, but never really close.  I always wanted to be close.  But as the years have passed, she just never reciprocated.  I was always one call away--but the call was always when she needed something. I could go into more detail, but I'm working on release all the hurt, so I just won't.  In November, she and her family moved 5 hours away.  It made sense for them--her son is in college there and her daughter went to my daughter's school (she dropped this semester).  I try to stay in contact with my niece and nephew, but they respond about as much as she does. ...
