Excuse Me...

I have to say this. I wish not to offend even though I know I will. Some things just need to be said. I have a pretty extensive library on the occult, witchcraft, and pagan beliefs. I hide this library when guests enter my home. I also break down any and all altars that some folks may not understand or take offense to. The work that goes into having guests in my home is extensive. I love having friends and family to my home. I always have. I love to cook for people and entertain. That being said I tire myself out for at least a week before anyone gets here so I wont offend anyone. I think its time I just say enough. I dont hide what and who I am. My home should reflect that. If someone comes to my house and is offended, maybe they misunderstand who and what I am and what it is I do. I will post it here so I can clearly and concisely state the facts for future reference. What I do is much like a doctor except that I work in the spirit realms. A doctor can be good and heal or bad and harm. Medicine is the name of his/her practice. Medicine itself is not good or bad it just is. Its the doctor that practices that counts. Magic is the same way. What I do is study and practice magic. I am good at it. The books I have are for study. I learn different types of magic to know how to deal with it. Voodoo/Hoodoo is different than Norse. Norse is different from Hellenic which is different from Golden Dawn which is different from Cornish and Romany. To help people cursed by different beliefs, I must know the beliefs they are cursed with. That means I have to study them all. I guess in the magic world I would be the general practitioner. I have cursed a couple of people in my day but not to harm. More like a lesson to be learned.

Question of the Day

Do you think your house is haunted? Someone asked me this question today. I was explaining to them about the odd things that go on in my house. My answer is yes. The person tried to argue that if I had God in my life this wouldnt be happening to me. I was once a devout church goer. I got saved and baptized and went to Sunday school. I sang in several church choirs. I have NEVER not had a haunted house. Before you resign to my insanity let me explain. When I was a Christian, I saw spirits. I even talked with the holy spirit. I saw an angel hold a 17 year old young man as he wept in glory. I heard Gods voice as he told me to tell others his message. Would that make the church haunted by scientific standards? You bet it would! So having God in my life only gave it a religious purpose in the house of religion. I still have spirits near me and I hear them sometimes. I have different names for what I experience thats all. I have come to learn that my talent is my talent. Nobody can change it I was born with it. I know I cant be like everyone else. Why to others want me to be like them?

All For One?

In another site I visit, it was posted that the pentagram stood for one kind of person. Wicca is laying claim to the pentagram as if their religion invented it. I have nothing against Wicca. I adore most of the people who follow it. To each their own. But please please please lets set the facts straight. Wicca is not the only belief system to use the pentagram. There are those who use the pentagram who DO worship Satan. There are people who use the pentagram who do place curses and make blood sacrifices. Wicca is a calm gentle religion who mostly deal in healing and love. The pentagram is not just for Wiccans. Never has been.

strange happenings

I woke up this morning as I normally do. I climb out of bed, get dressed, let the dogs out, then go to the kitchen to feed the dogs their breakfast. Routine normal. then I turn on the TV to catch the weather and morning news and go back to the kitchen to make my coffee. here is where it gets a little weird. The routine for making the coffee is done the exact same way every morning. 1. grab coffee pot 2. rinse pot and fill with water 3. place pot back on the burner 4. empty filter container 5. get new filter 6. fresh grounds 7. put fresh grounds and filter in place 8. turn on maker pretty simple right? Well I went to get the filters and they were gone. I looked everywhere for them. I figured maybe my husband took the short stack to work because he was running low. So I went into the cabinet and got another short stack. I turn back around and BEHOLD! there was the filters sitting in front of the coffee pot. I thought to myself "ok, I must be tired and over looked them." After all people always miss the things right in front of their noses. So then after the coffee is done, I grab a cup and go to sit down. Just as I sit the living room light flickered out. It took me aback because it didnt just "go" out. It literally flickered out. I thought for a moment about the mornings events and said out loud, "Turn it back on! that is rude!" It came back on for about a minute and went out again. I dont know what to say at this point. I dont want to be one of those people who just have a normal relationship with people who arent there but it would seem that is what is happening. I am not ready for a rubber room with pink walls. I went through my pink stage in the 80s Victorian decor.
