I suppose I should tell you a little where I stand with this stuff. First of all I am a Pagan and a Witch. I am not Wiccan.That's too much like an organized religion for my liking, which means that somewhere there is one person at the head of it who sees themself as being above everyone else. I have my own mind and do my own thing. Since I am not accepted by the Pagan community in the south of England because I am American, I work alone. People that reject someone else simply because of where they are from are not the sort of people I want to be around and they have nothing to teach me. It simply is a form of prejudice.
It's a shame people are still making movies that are so far from the truth. All it does is make Witchcraft "trendy". This is not a trend.
It is my belief that there is no black or white magic. It is simply the intent behind what a person is doing that determines whether it is good or bad, black or white. There are people who practice "black magic" but they seem to be concerned more with the physical than spiritual. That's just not my cup of tea. There are also some people here in the UK who call themselves "White Witches" and are on all the talk shows and radio programs just to boost their ego. I'm not into that either.
I hope that helps, in case some of you thought I worship satan or something. Satan is a Christian invention, an entity created to blame anything evil on and to scare people into this new religion. To read even more about this, you can go to this page.
Below are some of my favorite links to Pagan and Witchcraft sites. I am always adding something new here too, so keep checking back. Also, don't forget I change the page to fit the seasons and always have a few links to allow readers to find out about our celebrations if they don't already know. Enjoy.
Well, it's December. But I feel time is going too fast. It seems just a couple weeks ago that I was excited (as excited as I get) that it was October. Now here we are in December already. Sheesh.
The leaves are almost all gone. There are still some trouble makers hanging on. It's only been below freezing twice so far this year so that's boring. No snow, just fog and blinding sun in the afternoons. Since it's totally dark now at 4:30 it makes the days drag by. It would help if I wasn't alone so much but it appears there is nothing I can do about that.
The cows are gone. They took away some of the teenagers causing the moms to moo constantly for 78 hours. They must have moved the rest of them into the barns or something because they aren't around in this field anymore. I miss them. I wish they would put some horses or something in there. It's so lonely.
Still in a lot of pain. Need to get my kidney finished but I don't have the strength to get to London for a 20 minute scan. I wouldn't get an appointment until after the holidays for sure. I'm not looking forward to going through that anyway, no matter when.
Hoping to decorate for winter today. I can't do it by myself, mostly beause I'm too short but pain and other things keep me from doing much. I wish it didn't.
This will be the first Christmas without my mom. Even though I wouldn't be seeing her at least I could talk to her. I miss talking to her.
Anyway, enjoy the coming season. Simmer some spices or burn spicy candles. Decorate your house with evergreens and red berries. Put up some lights! Have fun!
