True Test of Who I Am...

November 26, 2011

These final tests, in these final hours
Truly testing my strength, and my inner powers.
Power of knowledge, gift of true ‘sight’
Are guiding me well, this late darkened night.
Some fear the truth, but no, not I
For what is the point, of living a lie?
Anger, fear, fanciful fables…
Only consistent authenticity will ever turn tables!
It is human to fear, it is human to doubt
How we HANDLE these feelings, is what gives us clout!
Ego, sloth, and greedy expectations,
Have no place in a life, without limitations.
Magick is power that we study and achieve;
Not found in a candle, but in what we believe.
I walk my talk, every night and day
Following through on all that I say.
For if we don’t commit to live fully and true
Then what do we expect the Divine to then do?
Give and reward unbecoming behavior?
Not make us learn, and still act the savior?
Magick and wisdom are one and the same
A commitment, a path….not just a game.
So as old issues come knocking, and wait at my door
I look them square in the eye, unlike before.
This song has been danced to, I tripped and I fell
I learned lessons the hard way, I detoured through hell
Be who I am, fully without reservation
Do what I must without hesitation…
So if you find fault, and find it too much
I fully understand…wish you well…and good luck.

Harvested Lessons

September 25, 2011

 

This past summer was quite a journey for me. I met some of the most amazing people and learned more than I had even hoped to.

It took just a bit of time for all the new info to stir and brew in my mind, before it was ready to be shared as a finished product.

Then  ~ as is always the case in life ~ my mind, body, and soul said “STOP! Weeks on overdrive, ambition fueled….time to slow it down to a simmer.” Some of that was about getting some rest, yet more so it was to truly let what ha...

Oils Every Witch Needs - The Absolute Essentials

September 25, 2011



 

I am often asked what oils a magickal practioner should always have on hand.

The following is what I would recommend as a ‘basic oil set’, as it can be used diversely to cover the most basic and frequent of needs.

There are certainly ways to achieve the same results using household basics such as olive oil and herbs.

Some metaphysical and magick shops and companies call their oil blends by varying names….for example….Attraction oil may be called ‘Come to Me’….it is importan...

Methods of Aromatherapy

May 21, 2011

Methods of Aromatherapy

There are two basic methods of utilizing the beneficial effects of aromatherapy:


1) Inhalation ~ When inhaled essential oils trigger the olfactory nerves which are directly connected to our brain's limbic system. This is the part of our brain responsible for controlling our reactions, breathing, emotions, and more. Our bodies react to an aroma before it can even be identified. Additionally, tiny molecules of essential oil enter the bloodstream through the normal respirat...

My Tarot & Oracle Collection

March 27, 2011

My Tarot Collection

As an Intuitive Tarot Reader for the past 13 years, I have often been asked what deck I read from. I actually have a rather large collection of Tarot and Oracle decks. While I cherish each of my decks, I usually only read from two of the Tarot decks and two of the Oracle decks.  I live seeing the portrayal of basic concepts and messages by different artists, through different art mediums, different genres of magick…just shows us that the same messages can reach us all r...
