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.
Wow. A lot has happened since I last wrote. Unfortunately nothing good.
My brother Curt, the youngest of my four brothers passed away two days after his 54th birthday of an enlarged heart. There are no symptoms for that so he never knew it was happening. I still can't believe he's gone. We were the closest in age, the two young ones of the kids at very close at times. Unfortunately a huge fight broke out between family members, mostly drunks and now the family is divided. He's probably watching it all from where he is and shaking his head in disgust. I don't blame him. My family is much smaller now.
We finally got a couple of pheasants in here. Two males. I don't know where they all are but they're not here. At least I have one faithful friend who comes by every morning. I think it's one of my friends from last year.
We had a lot of stormy weather that took the power out and heavy rain that caused a lot of flooding up north. It seems that all the leaves fell at once and then were blown away by the strong winds. Crazy!
Winter is in the air here. It got down to 30 the other night which isn't really all that cold but it was in this house with such little insulation. So we're doing our best to stay warm.
Yule is around the corner. Time is going by entirely too fast for me. I don't want this part of the year to be over so fast. Here are some links for Yule. I hope you have a good one!
