why i chose witchcraft
Growing up, it was hard. Life was hard. Being a tad overweight, confused about who I was, and what I wanted out of life. It was hard. I was angry, I was hurting, and confused. I was finding myself constantly in a state of stress, and at the time, I internalized all of it. I struggled with self-esteem, bullying, hating the place where I grew up, blaming everything and everyone for the way I handled the world around me. There was no understanding on my part, it was all black and white. Either I loved someone, a friend or family member, or I hated them to the core of my being. It was extremes, in my emotions, my opinions, my interpersonal relationships. And in those extremes, I made a lot of mistakes.

Free Weekly Reading #4 2021 Mirror Dragon Tarot
Free Weekly Reading #4 for 2021 Mirror Dragon Tarot Reading for 1-25 thru 1-31-21 Each week when I do these readings I set up my reading space with black fabric, (for the photo, mostly but it also allows for and smooth, calm space to focus on the cards) make sure I have undisturbed quiet time; dogs are out, husband is at work/play/store/whatever, phone is off, etc… I begin with a quick grounding meditation and settle into a centered peace to ask for guidance in choosing the cards which will be most appropriate for the week ahead. I shuffle the cards with my intent in mind and spread them in a dealer’s “ribbon spread”. Then with eyes closed, I ask for the Center card, the West card and finally, the East card, reaching out to the spread, touching the cards and choosing the one that feels most fully under my finger tip, then sliding them into their positions. Before opening my eyes I return to a calm, centered state and do my best to sense whether the three cards I’ve chosen are the most fitting for the highest and best for all involved. Only then do I turn them face up and photograph them for the reading. There are times when I see the three cards before me and groan or breathe a sigh of relief but I always use the cards I’ve selected ”blindly”.

Spiritual Bullying
I recently experienced a situation where I was indirectly involved in a spiritual healing practice. During my nearly year-long experience, I was learned some amazing lessons relative to my own gifts, one which included an uncomfortable realization that even amongst the so-called healing leaders, there is very much alive the practice of spiritual bullying and hypocrisy.

So You Want To Be Wiccan
In 2014, the Pew Research Center conducted a survey that estimated 0.4% of Americans identify as being part of a pagan or Wiccan religion. That is around 1 million people. Neopaganism, as it is sometimes called, has flourished in the past 20-30 years.

Congrats guys, take a moment to pat yourself on the back. "Treat every small victory as if you just won the super bowl!" - Lewis Howes

The Grey Space We Fail to See...
Some people underestimate spirituality or see it as a trend, but as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin said: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” Rumi explored that truth in his poems. We don’t just live in the spiritual realm, but we are the spiritual realm. To see beyond our physical bodies and realize our true essence has been our purpose since the beginning of time. Rumi wrote about it eight centuries before the extensive spread of spirituality.

The Knotted Empress
Night after night you have found your Soul at the bottom of the Ocean’s floor. Growing up you have been taught by society and religion alike to avoid those who read and guide through the sight of the third Eye. Historically it’s been their plea that the wisdom of a Night Owl is only full of witchcraft and signs of misery. Then comes a moment you enter into a darkened space out of everyone’s view, because soulfully you desire a solitude of hiding in plain sight is where your vibe feels the most right; you come in connection with the energy of the Eye of a Knotted Empress, this horribly beautiful glow and her spiritual energy as she begins to calculate the numbers within the unexpected exchange. Before you know it you find comfort in her light and insight is of great wisdom and never ending vision; hiding in plain sight has now been exposed as nothing more than an illusion of your lost soul. In the darkness of the night she shines with the moon rise and an unexplained light strengthens as her Eye follows your every move; just as the mystical energies of a Night Owls grove, the same owl tattooed on her neck. Many fear her soul piercing gaze because of the truth that can never seem to be hidden in the shadows of each passing day. Now faced with what’s on the other side of the illusion of having anything to fear as you reluctantly embrace the facing of your fright as she takes your hand and the two of you are now walking within your shadow side. Without hesitation, you now find yourself standing in love with her wisdom and guide, as if it was a warning or sign of the hoots of a Night Owls cry. Her guidance is that of an unconditional love, like feathers of a warming and protective touch. The third Eye view of this Knotted Empress, is the greatest sniper of an evolutionary truth that only can be appreciated by a chosen few, as the rest cowardly run away in fear towards the light of their own death. Divinely guided by her strength, the only signs of survival against her predators attack have been in the form of the pellet that she leaves behind, a silent reflection of One’s fate of their own chosen path; an unfortunate truth of their own intentions from the very start. The beauty of her eyes as you find yourself lost in the haze of the window of the reflection of your own soul as you look into hers; an energy of fear and a vision of your journey that then becomes more clear. The clarity of her truth is your truth that you now wish neither of you somehow knew, because it is within that truth that One’s ying and yang come out to play. Which side will ultimately win? The burning question that seems to master your mind, not realizing that the power of choice is divinely yours and only the side of you that you feed the most will ultimately have the crown of victory in the end. The only way out of the nights shine is through the light of the Knotted Empresses Eye, as you embrace the guidance of her frequencies flow. Which path will you chose, only your Soul knows. The only advice available to give, is to meditate as if you’re bathing in the warm truth of the moon, while floating in her Oceans blue and releasing all control as your Spirit Guides direct you along the valley of the shadow of death with the silent flight of the her Night Owls Soul being your true night light.
