Define Witch

I dont know if I have ever done this before but I think I need to do it now.

From Merriam Webster dictionary

Witch: : one that is credited with usually malignant supernatural powers; especially : a woman practicing usually black witchcraft often with the aid of a devil or familiar.

From Wiki:

Cunning folk: an English language term referring to professional or semi-professional practitioners of magic active from at least the 15th up until the early 20th century. They practiced folk magic – also known as "low magic" – although often combined this with elements of "high" or ceremonial magic.

Comparable figures from other parts of Western Europe include the French devins-guérisseurs and leveurs de sorts and the Dutch toverdokters or duivelbanners and in German Hexenmeister or Kräuterhexen. In Spain they were curanderos whilst in Portugal they were known as saludadores. In Denmark, they were the kloge folk,[1] whilst in Sweden they were known as a klok gumma ("wise old woman") or a klok gubbe ("wise old man").[2][2][3][4][5][6] It is widely agreed by historians and folklorists, such as Willem de Blécourt,[7] Katherine Briggs and Owen Davies,[1] that the term "cunning folk" could be applied to all of these figures as well.

Now with this very basic information can you seriously call yourself a witch? do you harm people for the sake of harming or for personal gain? If you believe in the 3 fold law or Karma you are NOT a witch. You are a magic practitioner who has a good moral conscience and should be called a cunning folk or root worker. You can be a healer or anything or all of the above.

You cannot blame someone for not wanting to be around a witch if they believe in God, Karma, Ala, Buddhism, Hindu or any other social belief. Being a witch is NOT a good thing.

The new age think that because the church has defined witchcraft as anything to do with magic must be performed by witches, they therefore MUST be witches, giving the church power to redefine language.

I REFUSE TO GIVE THE CHURCH THAT KIND OF POWER! They will not dictate to me what is and what is not.

snobs

I don't know what I can say other than I am against snobs. I am tired of religious snobs, art snobs, money snobs, and social snobs. I cant stand the hypocritical nonsense that is going on.

I have been belittled in the art field because I stick up for the street artists who are being ripped to the core in the fine arts community. I am now sticking up for a person who created a group for a traditional religion and the snobs moved in and kicked her out of her own group. I am an outcast from certain social activities because I don't measure up.

What a snob is is a bigot. what they hold their bigotry on is up to them but that is what they are. I for one have decided that no matter the cost to me I will not be included in the friendship of r socialization with snobs. I am not a bigot. I wont be accused of being like them either.

Snobs are needy people with low self esteem wanting some sort of power. If they cannot take it they will create it.

So lets hear it for the so called common folks who do spectacular work in ordinary places! Who don't get paid nearly enough for what they do, and who shouldn't think less of themselves because of the snobs.

Happy New Year

As another year rolls into being, I reflect on the last twelve months. I have made some new friends and I am sorry to say a select few people have left me with a very bitter unpleasant memory of them. It has been a year of very high highs and very low lows. A sweet friend got married, the haunted house is moving forward, my house was flooded, an illness kept at bay one more year, the meeting place for many of my friends was closed forever. I watched lives come together and fall apart. I have both gained respect and lost it this past year.

All in all, It was a year of growth. Not good, not bad. Nothing overly scale tipping either way. I am wiser, colder, warmer, older and yet some younger in my thinking.

I am passing through another phase in life and will embrace this phase as I did the last.

Many blessings to you....always
