A mile stone

After much thought, work, frustration, and faith I have found my magical name. It not only is equal numerically to my birth number but is also the plant that rules my star sign. It is a perfect fit for me. I am pleased to introduce my self to you as Mercury. Merry Meet my friends!

A little more about me

I remember from a young age I had frequent Dasha view moments. According to my mom it happened to everyone and it was nothing abnormal. By the time I hit high school I had just accepted it as something that happened to everyone. That all changed my sophomore year when I started having dreams about my grandfather dying. I just blew it off as something I ate because the dreams were completely weird and not even possible. For example in one my grandpa was driving a mini go cart on a roller coaster in large purple star glasses and he fell of the track. Then in March I had one again and when I woke up to go to school my mom said that they had taken my grandpa to the hospital in the middle of the night. In my last class the office TA told me that my uncle was there to pick me up. One of my best friends was in the class with me and asked what was up and I told her my grandpa had died. No one had to tell me I knew. Even if my dreams had seemed completely bogus one part wasn't. One day after everyone had gotten through their grief I said something to my mom and my aunt. My aunt told me that days before sep. 11 she had had a dream in which a lion attacked and killed a sheep. After 9-11 she made the connection. I am interested in ways to develop this talent. I think it runs in my family.

How I got started on the Wiccian Path

Though my parents claimed Christianity as our family religion we weren't religious people. We didn't go to church we didn't pray before meals or before bed. In middle school I became very religious even though my family wasn't. My cousin would bring me workbooks from her Sunday school class so that I could study the bible. I didn't go to church because I couldn't drive myself and my parents wouldn't take me. Though I was Christian I did not limit myself to religious media. I read and listened to many things most Christians wouldn't. I remember reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. This is where I had my first encounter with paganism. At this point I had always had a thirst to read about the Greeks and their gods and goddesses I could name them all from a very young age. In Rice's books Pandora and Blood and Gold it talks about how the Egyptians worshiped the goddess Akasha as Isis. The book talked about their practices and rites to Isis and I remember being mad because as a Christian I couldn't pay tribute to Isis. Later while reading the Da Vinchi Code I realized just how sexist the Christian religion was. I began to research Mary Magdalene and the holy grail and in my research came across many things about the goddess. By my sophomore year of high school I had converted to Wicca and I have been a witch ever since. In the Wiccian religion I find what Christianity could never offer me.

Handfasting

I brought up the idea of becoming hand-fasted to my boyfriend of two and a half years and he loved the idea, so did his roommate. So now not only am I trying to figure out what to do for my handfasting I am trying to help another couple plan their hand-fasting. At this point I would like to inform you that I have never done one before nor do i have an exact idea of what to do. Everything I can find is for a permanent ceremony and we both want the traditional year and a day ceremony as a practice run for marriage. This may be harder than what I initially thought.

Happy Ostara

Today marks the day when light and darkness are equal. Light will be the victor when it overcomes the darkness. Today would be a good day to do something to brighten the darkness in your own life. Spring cleaning and planting a garden are both good activities for today. Try to do something outside and appreciate nature's beauty. Today is the day the God comes into his full power and marries the maiden, impregnating her so that in nine months she will become the mother once again. So plant your seeds, rid your world of the darkness of winter and enjoy life.
Happy Ostara!
Blessed Be

Researching to Spells

I am currently working on two spells. I am in the beginning stages of both.
The first one is a spell to end unwanted feelings about someone. I know I have done it before but for the life of me I can't find the spell so that my friend and I can do it. She recently got out of a long term bad relationship and I want to help her dispel her feeling for him so that she can move on. I am doing the spell as well to sever the emotional ties I have to my first love who obviously doesn't care about me, so that I too can move on to better people. I think I may end up concocting my own spell to sever these ties and I am researching tools and things to use in the spell.
My second goal is to make a protection amulet for one of my best friends whom is like a brother to me. He is joining the National Guard and I want to give it to him as a gift. I have been reading up on stones, metals, and herbs so I know which ones have properties that would benefit a soldier. This is harder than I thought. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I will keep you posted on my progress.
Blessed Be!

Once in a Blue moon

This new years is going to come in with a bang. Tonight is a blue moon which means that the full moon tonight is the second one to happen in the month of December. Tonight is going to be very magical. The full moon is best used for spells of empowerment or healing. In lue of the new year and the resolutions we are about to set forth I will provide a spell of empowerment that is simple and easy and can be done where ever you are bringing in the new year.

A Spell of Empowerment
This spell requires no components accept a believe in magic. Visualize what ever it is you desire and say it silently to yourself. Pour emotion into your thought then say what ever it is you desire again with emotion to back it. When you have done this with emotion and believe forget about it. Release the desire into the world.

Use the blue moon to make your new years resolution extra powerful. Good luck!


Happy New Years and Blessed be my friends!!
