Focus on hold

Legend has is among the charismatics that just when you are about too turn in the right direction, ole Satan throws a wrench in your pipeworks.
Or, as the Witches say....when the seeker needs one, the teacher would come.
But are you teacher, or distraction?
How do you know when a thing is in your best interest, especially when it feels so good.
Especially when it gives you encouragement to raise beyond your self and push your own boundries. And especially when the world seemslike your Genie is waiting to hear your wishes, and snap everyone of them into being.?
Whatever the purpose, there is no doubt in my mind that Fates are smilining on this chance encounter. That my mind was enriched by such a happening.
Every once in a while, you need to broaden your focus to see where to zoom in on next.........
broadening may be a good thing for now.

Love Bytes

The pictures says it all. I shall have to experiment in Astral travelling to go any further.

The last three days were mind changing. I felt more alive than I have felt in ages.

I feel a new direction coming on, one that is full of possibilty. One that has All Potential surrounding it.

I will never be the same.

..and I am glad.

My Magick is better than yours!

Right….so Young Lady White Magician keeps sending messages to my Facebook persona with the tenacity of a little child who has a secret to tell.
“I practice Magick” She confides.
“Oh”, I retort….”
“White Magick, not black Magick”, she responds.

Little does she know that this is dead giveaway number one that she has not been practising for long. Magick, being a tool, cannot be good or bad. It just is. Your use of it is the “good / bad” issue. Like using a knife to cut the food to feed your family, or using same knife to kill a person.

“I am in a lodge” she confides again.

Dead giveaway number two. Lodge members are not supposed to divulge that they are lodge members. Only newly recruited neophytes with egos all out of wack will let loose such information.

At this point I feign surprise that there are still lodges here. But then my ego gets the better of me as her whole conversational direction screams that somehow she things she is better than others in the group.

So like the mischevious devil that I am, I respond “Perhaps then, you could give me more information on the “Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram?”

The silence that is there for a while is punctuated by the blipping cursor on the chat screen.

“Heavy stuff there.” She answers. “Don’t you have any books to read about it?”

“Been there done that.” I respond…. “ Really though, have they began any classes on the local plant associations?”

“Oh, we don’t do that.” She replies “ Our magick is much higher than that.”

Dead giveaway number three. Lodges teach magick slowly, grade run from 0=0 then proceed slowly to 1=9, 2=8, and continue. No one has ever reached the end. At some point the instruction switches from the psychopomp rituals that the neophytes experience, to real magick which involves learning associations from Crowley’s Liber 777, and combining it which Enochian Magick, which I was never partial too. This she obviously did not know.
There was more to the conversation, but lets leave it here.

I logged off and left it at that. One of the things they warn you about when you begin Magick is exactly what Young Lady White Witch is experiencing. The Ego Trip. The “I am better than you because I practice Magick and you don’t know what you are doing” behaviour.

Ms. YLWW better check her swelling ego, or she will never go from Neophyte to Zelator level, at least not if the Lodge Master are even worth their 5=5 grades.

Blessed Be Guys, Blessed Be.

Crafting a BOS

These Books of Shadows are absolutely beautiful. I would rather love one for myself. I was checking around the craft stores the other day for little trinkets that would fit into a Book of Shadows for me. I loved the Green and Blue metallic Leatherette at Samaroo's, and began to envision an embossed metallic Dragon on my cover. Haven't bought it yet.

It got me thinking? How come our Carnival crafts have not trickled down into our everyday creativity. I mean, enough with the bikini and beads, but can we flourish

our homes, everyday things with the same creativity that you find at Carnival.

Why do we box in everything? ... Carnival should be this! Homes should be this! People should behave like this! Worship like this!
Maybe one night I shall drag my Altar and Candles into the little park in our neighbourhood, light a witchy bonfire and shock the be-bumbums out of the neighbours........
Who will probably call the police.... or leave a little note on my gate about worshipping eveil spirits. I know for sure that all the Jehovah Witnesses will find themselves at my door!
He he he..... definately will put the pentacle on the front door now..... "Come get me my pretties!"

Information Needed

What we need in this country is reliable Religious information source. This would squelch all the stoopid rumours about Pagan Faiths, and the dumb things people send around about Wicca. A Wiccapedia is a great idea...... how do we start one?

The World Tarot Card

Mental blocks

I am too psychicly open, if there is such a thing. I practically bounce off the metal limitations people put on the world here. Yeaterday, a gentleman came into the office where I work, a sort of chiropactor/ new age massage therapist. You should have seen the crowd around him...like to guy was giving out money. Anyways people came away from him after having their back "cracked" swearing it was the best thing ever. One woman wondered how to keep it feeling this way. I suggested Yoga. Immediately the walls sprang up " Nah..I hear dat does bring spirits into yuh body." I wanted to comment,"That's a Catholic conspiracy." but I kept my mouth shut. Yes it brings spirits. Spirits of Peace, Spirits of alignment etc.......... good spirits.... spirits that will keep your energies flowing.

Of course the conversation ended there. There is no use arguing with people, since any spiritaul investigation on their part will lead them to "Spirits"

I wonder what will happen if I told them that you can catch a "spirit" just by shaking someones hand, or standing too close to someone. Everyone must have felt the power of Laughter...of sadness. There are more subtle ones which people don't realize like hope, encouragement, suggestion etc......they are just as catching.

I, though will rather face and feel than hide in fear............after all, I am Master of my Soul.
