I remember staring up at a starry sky and wondering what was out there. The field beneath my back bit into my clothing, sharp and jabbing because the staw was just harvested. My hands were bitter cold, but the stars painted a picture of a perfect autumn night. After several deep breathes, as the air moved in and out of my lungs in giant puffy clouds, I kept staring up at the sky. My eldest sister wanted to be an astronaught. She studied math and kept good grades... until one summer day ended her… Continue

I'm an audio learner. Unlike most people, I'm not dependent on sight to learn everything -- I need to hear it. Audio and then tactile are my two most active senses. Yes, I was tested for it. Thus, my magik reflects me. I use plants and stones over fire and or scrying because my mind doesn't remember what I see with my eyes (it made school a pain in the rear).

I'm best at stones and plants because they have a tactile quality to them (and I can't sing well). On the other hand, every Wiccan has so… Continue

I love the full moons. The yellow disk in the sky adds a silver tint to the trees and reflects on the owl's wings. I can't see the stars anymore, but the moon still shines through the city lights.

One of them nearly killed me. I spent weeks afterward researching various purification techniques and trying to sleep. Guess I should explain the event... (drags feet). I have tried to explain the event as asthma, a dream, or even a figment of my imagination. All are nice logical explanations for that night. (shivers)

I'm no expert on spells. Unlike most Wiccans, I don't use them often. The hubbub or excitement over changing the energy surrounding us can be overwelming. On the other hand, everything tries to find a balance. Good and evil. Light and Darkness. Death and Life. Once the balance shifts, things can seem a little overwelming. I've seen so many occult students lose themselves in spellcraft and forget why they want to cast the spells to begin with.

Energy exists and some of that energy is negative. B… Continue
