A Solitary Witch's Life

                  I am so over Commercialism !  The holidays no longer bring joy to me like back in the good old days .  Back in the day (just a few years ago ) seasons came with the anticipation of knowing what holiday was coming and the excitement of what magic awaits ahead .There in knowing with not only the fact the the season changing  but soon you would see commercials for the coming holiday at hand . Now a days one season is hardly over and commerce therein commercialism  is cramming in multiple  seasons and therefore holidays together . Which to me kills the spirit of the holiday . I mean it is Summer and I went to town last week to get supplies and turned the corner in one store and seen School supplies , Halloween decorations , Thanksgiving  and Christmas all together at the same time . WHAT?!! My head almost exploded .  ( Times like this I am so grateful I am Wiccan we celebrate the season...

 In my travels here on the internet I am apart of a few groups just like many of you.  The questions that I come across most frequently are '' How do I begin ?" or " Where do I start ?" , and my answer is .... Well , at the begin of course . If you find yourself asking these questions .Which many of us at some point or another do . I can simply ask what are your interests? One should start there . That is your beginning . I mean  when you narrow down your interests that can alleviate a lot of ones stress. Let me share with you a story of me and my journey at the beginning . I have always, always been intuitive to the divine even at a very young age . My mother would tell me that the fairies had taken your child and left me for her to raise . She always excepted my idiosyncrasy with my abilities of   communicating with  Spirits or foretelling the future or telling her what people would say to her before she spoke with them. ( She was always asking me questi...

   May Love and Light Guide all your                       days..... Welcome to My June page I hope this month finds you well . . I find I am enjoying this Summer more than I have in the past for some reason I have not yet. figured it out yet . These are a few Pages out of my Book of Shadows . I just thought I would share a bit of myself with you . I hope they are not to difficult to read as I have designed each page myself .                     Fonts ,                                Color                                          and Images .... I just Love the internet and all that One can access to create and design something completely original to suit Ones own style . I ...

                              I had a page setup on a very popular social site to share This and That and it worked for Oh , a hot minute and now it has just gone crazy ! So , I say to heck with that site . This is my site . With blessings from the higher powers that be .... You will be able to find me here .Just as you found me before with one exception , I will be putting all of my focus here instead of trying to be some computer wiz and streaming all across the galactic internet highway .  Screw that social website ! (Man , Ahhhh....! as soon as I said that my music stopped playing .) Weird ? I think not . It is just a brief moment of recognition from the spirits that I was getting a bit wound up for no reason at all and I needed to stop and take a deep breath and  calm down . So , as I did so I rolled my chair back got up from my desk and walked over to the Coby stereo system and seen that the G...

                        It is a chilly Autumn morning and I find myself setting in front of the computer writing in a journal listening to Pandora , an Irish collection of instrumental music waiting for inspiration to strike.  Waiting for those creative juices to start flowing from me like a rushing water fall and , as of yet I have only moved from writing in personal journal to writing to you .  I find that sometimes through my writing I can at times reach out and touch someone in away I could never do in person . MAGIC ! . You know what I am talking  about reading something and getting that warm tingly feeling inside you like some one has touched your soul . Well , I have experienced it from things I have read and I am sure so have you .  I started copying a few things I had on my computer screen a few Fall bucket list ideas . I thought it might be fun . I shared a few of the lists on different soci...

Thank you ............ For coming here if only for a moment .  I am in the process of setting up shop . So , One can find wonderful things and learn how to do the things I do or to just get an idea to alter an idea One may already have.      That is one of the great things about OUR craft ...Is... Make it your own .  I will be going through things I do and  how I do the things that work for me. Being Dyslexic .  I think and process things in a different way than most (witch) giggles ...is not a bad thing by no stretch of the imagination just different and perhaps it  may help your creative juices to flow like a babbling creek and or stream .... ( same thing different words ) see what I mean ..... Anyway , I am collecting , creating , sewing , stitching , mixing , bottling things for you . And I also will be  photo blogging these things so you will be able to do all these things in your own way...  For only you h...

                                                            Making Recycled Candles  USED WAX AND SUPPLIES  Okay, to begin this is how I do my recycled  candles . I have use  many of those wax infusers around my house that use those little wax tart-lets you can buy pretty much any where and from the wax that is left over from other candles.   I keep the wax tart-lets after the scent had been extracted from the wax . You know when it gets that waxy smell I remove the wax and store for a later time . It takes a bit of time to gather enough wax to recycle into Candles . I do this about    I keep all of my glass containers that the candles came in and after I get the wax out I clean and sterilize the containers and reuse them for different things . (Mostly for my herbs mainly if th...
