Nevada

First came the fire, quickly ignited and quick to make things uncomfortable. Destruction of the life I had once known, but was no longer flourishing within.  Fire, of course, is a metaphor. Betrayal, which for me was the straw and I was undone.
My cousins, who live in Las Vegas and knew something was wrong, came and got me and brought me here.  I left my babies, but they are all grown and they are all in Missouri, so it's not so bad.  I miss hugging them.
I thought the desert would be barren, desolate.  It is anything but that.  There is such strength, wisdom and beauty in the desert.  The sky goes on forever.  The desert is teaming with life, most of which scare folks, but they are just out here trying to live, just like everyone else.  It is an amazing land.

taken from A Witch Alone by Marian Green

"Another valuable task certainly carried out by the witches of old, as they served their communities, was that called, in the Celtic Church, 'Soul Friends'.  These people, men and women, were respected for the way they lived their lives and would be freely consulted by anyone in trouble, of heart, mind or spirit.  It was possible to discuss spiritual or emotional matters with them, in a lonely grove or quiet garden.  There was no offering of forgiveness by an unsanctified preisthood, but gentle comfort, support or guidance.  All these things have been sadly neglected in our hurried world."

The Many Faces of Witchdom

One conclusion I have come to, there are many different faces, all are witches.  It's safe to say, that we are not all the same. Also, it's not fair to say witches only wear this or that particular face and no other. I love diversity, I love that we are all individual, we approach things differently, we problem solve differently. I can't imagine what the world would be like if we all did things the same. Would it be like a NASCAR race where we all go the same direction, and do the same thing only we look different?

Juicing

This makes 2nd day of juicing. Just trying to stay calm, stay real. I love it! It's not cheap. For now I am juicing for breakfast and lunch and eating dinner, which is whatever we are having. I just don't go back for 3rds and 4ths. I eat sunflower seeds during the day.

A Thought

Is everything conspiring against our connections with spirit, Goddess, our Earth, the elements, each other?  When I say each other I mean all beings of Earth.
We construct houses for shelter, to keep us safe and warm. And to cut our connection to Earth.
We slaughter our planet to grow food, both plant and animal and we are careless (without care), and thoughtless, only to ingest our creations that are void of ... of what?  What would you call it?

PEACE

Such a simple thing "Peace" goes without saying one of the most beautiful things to have . Some of us have inner peace others can make peace without my dream is to be able to give peace.Think about it we can (some better than others ) find inner peace others can show an outer peace .This dream is not without consequence as to force peace upon those that do not wish it is still wrong, No my wish is to have the ability to offer a peace that would flow out and allow those that do not wish it thrust upon them to see that it is the better path . Now some will say that is already here all others have to do is reach for it ,Yes i would agree but people are intelligent able to make complex decisions even under pressure .The problem we face nowadays is too much information in some cases (regrettably not vetted or researched enough) so many have been drawn down the wrong paths and get frustrated in trying to sort the good from the bad. Therein lies my deepest wish to be able to offer peace and understanding to all without compromise or added untruths just to make it "Pretty"   .So in turn I can only answer those  who ask of me as I will not push my truths upon any.

Breathe

Breath, that piece of life that is very hard to do without . all things considered this should be easy I mean you do it all the time ,only stopping for things like sneezing and swimming. To be honest this will be the hardest hurdle to leap. First not all have a place to "tune out" or get away from distractions
so the best some can do is not to scream for everyone and everything to give some peace(where this might work the aggravation level you would create within is not good for calming oneself),so a time that you have no reason to move or have to chase children is time to practice breathing.The process is simple in action just hard to master, most do not take a full breath normally so we start with this ten to twenty full (not fast ) breaths once this is started and you are comfortable with this now the mind must relax try to empty your thoughts if this is difficult try thinking of your favorite color and fill the space with this . Some say you must do this as long as possible myself I advise just enough time to relax and purge your energy . Once you have cleansed your energy anything you do now will be more effective and it will just feel better .
