Witchcraft III

What in witchcraft makes me happy?

 

That there is an answer for everything.

Whatever problem I have, I can find/work up a spell to solve it.

And there are so many ways to do witchcraft. I have body scrubs, body sprays, candles, charms. It’s all magic and it all works.

I am not powerless. I can look over my books and think and find an answer for anything.

weekly update

i am 75% done for the month, 7% done for the year, giving me a F.

i am making forward progress on my weekends. i am cleaning and getting stuff done. what i am not doing is stuff during the week. i need to start doing something there.

i need to stop with the “doom scrolling” at night and just start reading in bed. i have too many books (just got 3 this week) and am not reading them. i saw a post where someone had a room floor covered with books they have not read, a foot or more deep.

i don’t want to be that person.

it also means i’m not going to the library for a while.

i also need to get on with working out and meditating.

and working towards the next level of my daily practice.

i did a post on Tumblr today that made me pause. it was about worshiping the Norse deities and said that start with what feels familiar/makes sense to you. after that, “Let your worship change as you develop a stronger interpersonal relationship with (and deeper understanding of) the deity you're venerating. You have complete freedom.”

i have fallen off the worshiping of Karpo that i don’t feel anything anymore. and last year made me rethink of how i ward my home and the adding of the seasonal oracle decks of Seasons of the Witch, i do have a lot of things in my head that i need to sit and work on.

but first, i need to clean this lair of mine.

maybe for Imbolc i can get the witchcraft rolling.

Witchcraft II

How do I see the divine?

 

My view of the divine have changed so much over the years I have been practicing.

Right now, I see the divine in the smallest of thing and the largest of things. Seeing the pray mantis in the fall, that is divine. The moon, that’s the divine. Sunsets and sunrises, all divine.

Nature is the divine for me.

weekly update

i am 53% done with my January goals, 5% done for the year, giving me a F!

and we are only 3 days into this year!

i got my bedroom redone and i love it. there is more space. is it perfect? no but it will get tweaked as the year goes on.

i started on my vanity drawers. gods smack me if i buy another handkerchief.

after i wash them all, put them back into the vanity, i want to clean out the rest of that area. i know there are things i just need to toss and recognize what i have.

my plan is to start on one end of the basement and work my way towards the front. maybe by the end of the month i’ll be done? it would be nice.

i want everything to have a place, and not just a pile. i want to remember where i put things so they are not lost.

i think other parts of my life are in order that i feel the need to get my lair in order. a prim and proper order, and not this pile is the jean pile.

Witchcraft I

What draws me to witchcraft?

 

My first memories of wanting to be a witch was wanting to be the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. If I had to be green and deal with monkeys, so be it.

It wasn’t till I found the witchcraft section of my small-town library that I discovered that witches were real, and I can learn to cast spells.

And then I found out about a goddess, Catholicism was way over for me.

I have been practicing for over 20 years now and only getting better every day.
