the Flu is a power of 3 illness

Yesterday and again today I have been battling a case of the flu. My elixir of choice for this lovely event has been ginger ale, but I don't stock it and I'm too sick to get up, get dressed and drive to the store, so I've decided to suffer in (not so) silence.

I have always been of the belief that the flu/a cold was 3 days coming, 3 days here, and 3 days going...3 being the "magick" number that it is....maybe I will just mix up a potion of Jose Quervo and kick some butt!

As I look out over the snow covered roads and fields, I am having thoughts of how much of my life I have put on hold for someday. I realize that now is someday, and hopefully with Her blessings, my path will lead me to a peaceful and contented place. I will burn white sage and meditate tonight, but for now...it's off to work!

A witch by any other name

I would say, the whole maternal side of the family had a little witch in them, but they never would have admitted it was so. I remember my grandmother would work with herbs and holistic healing, but credited it to being a "farm-girl" but the more I look into it, the more I see that is not the whole story.

So, I bought a few (well, a lot of) books and began reading up on Wicca and witchcraft. Then something clicked. I was like coming home. I am drawn to the Celtic because of our heritage, and it is going to take me years until I feel totally confident, but as they say: "getting there is half the fun!".

It's been 9 years now, and though still a novice, it feels right. I like talking to the trees, the birds and the small critters, and they seem to allow me my idiosyncrasies, and we live in harmony, for the most part.

I am working on my Book of Shadows, calling down the moon, etc., but ....I have a long way to go. I guess that knowing that you don't know is something.

At work Saturday, someone was telling me about a friend who, though only practicing 3 years, opened a portal...CAN YOU SAY DUMB!
