All I can say right now is WOW, WOW,WOW! So many changes in my perception since the shift. I feel as though I was standing on the side of a pool contemplating and was abruptly thrust into the water!

I believe we try too hard most of the time. Remember to live in the moment. Breathe it in. We control every minute of our every day. We always have the choice to participate, assist or walk away. The power is ours to do with as we please. No one has power over us unless we relinquish it to them, period. It is when our own doubts and fears leak through our auras that others can attach and begin to drain and control us.

I've been watching Youtube videos of late discussing people changing religions and Youtube channels.

My thoughts on this.....

We are an extension of Source experiencing all of the wonder that is being human. History is rich with many different spiritual paths and for many hundreds of years it was not an easy thing to study all of them or even know of their existence. Through the internet, we have all of humanity's religions and spiritual beliefs throughout the ages at our fingertips. Now with some, we do not know everything because they still possess some mystery but we still get a sneak peek at them. The more mystery, the more tantalizing it is to us.

For some this is the same as being a kid in a candy store and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this in my opinion. We are Source gathering knowledge lost to most of us on our journey back to this most wonderful world. We drink it all in. All of the Love, magic and insight into our true power.

Our inner knowing ignites within each of us at different times, in many different ways.

Many Blessings,

The Self Righteous Witch

Oh yes they do exist. Just as there are the self righteous in all walks of life. Unfortunately, we witches are no exception.

One would think that the modern witch would possess the knowledge that each persons spiritual and/or magical evolution develops at a different pace and would wish to either assist them in a positive way or just " be silent " instead of whopping them over the head with his or her broom with every chance they get.

Tainting the well that we all draw upon benefits no one.

Blessed Be,

Free Will

We all have it but I believe for most it has become a distant and foggy dream. I myself have just recently remembered what a wonderful thing this Free Will is and that I possess it. We either are this person or know of one.....The person that has worked for the same company for years and years devoting themselves to someone elses reality when it really no longer serves them to be there but now they feel only fear of leaving such a place. They are controlled by the fear of losing their material possessions and not being able to provide for themselves and their families so they stay and are unhappy. We/they always have a choice. Choosing to move on away from that which makes us unhappy will only move us closer to our happiness. Why is it that we turn control of ourselves over to others and then wonder why we are unhappy? We are able to take back our control at any moment and we will be alright. We will always be alright if that is what we believe. Why should we blame someone else for our own weakness and fear to leave?

Every morning, remember to consciously fire up your heart center. Radiate confidence, love, kindness and happiness. Every where you go pay close attention to how your presence affects your surroundings and those in it. You might be very surprised at the awesome power you have.

Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy didn't merely say he supports traditional marriage. We do live in America and do have freedom of speech I do believe. However......Dan Cathy said if you support gay marriage, you "are inviting God's judgment on our nation," and that we "shake our fist at Him" when we do. Dan Cathy also said same-sex marriage is the result of a "deprived" mind and called it "twisted 

up kind of stuff."

I have a bit of news for those that subscribe to this mentality....You are so far from being in alignment with God Source it's very sad. Do not live in judgement and try loving everyone once in awhile and then you will enjoy a glimpse of the true magnificence of God.

The last time I checked, no one person or religion has trademarked LOVE. Why do you fear those that are different from you? Why do you think you own God, Love and marriage? Your book and interpretation of it is only one of many of this world. You are no more special than any other precious person on this planet so stop behaving as though you are.

Now I am off to ♥pray away the rampant ignorance♥ affecting this beautiful world.

I would like to chat a bit about this Spiritual burnout that some are experiencing...

Everything is God Source energy. We are God Source energy currently experiencing Itself here on Earth. We, through our thoughts manifested each and every God, Goddess and Deity throughout time so therefore we are all of these. Each God/Goddess is a different aspect of the Divine, of us... so again we are all that is Divine Source Energy. 


At different times upon our path in life, certain Gods/Goddesses call to us because we are needing those aspects and strengths of ourselves at that particular time. When Earthbound, we need these reminders. This could be why at certain times we experience this so called Spiritual burnout...or perhaps why some are unable to really connect with any one specific God or Goddess...we already know on some level we are Divine so it becomes something like spinning our wheels so to speak. This is why even though our tools and visual aids are very helpful in holding our focus, we really do not need physical tools to perform Magick, we are the tools. The only thing "needed" is to remember.


We have a tendency to seek outside of ourselves for everything we desire, when all along, every aspect of a God/Goddess has been within us from our beginning. 


The other evening while at Marshall's browsing, who is sitting on a display table waiting just for me? Pan! A 15' tall ceramic statue marked down half price to $12.99! The furthest God from my mind currently so I swooped him up and He is sitting proudly atop my bookcase and I am anxiously awaiting to find out what this aspect of myself has in store for me in the near future!

This crystal found me and OMG is it beautiful and.....I just learned that it is very likely a Lemurian! Ladder rungs galore!

YouTube Sister judedirect posted a video "Paganism and Love". Is there an expression of love within the pagan community? Is love experienced in our rituals?

This is in response to her video.

I can only express my own personal experience and feelings on this subject.

First of all, I believe the Divine has appeared to humans throughout history in a guise that would be most accepting and understandable of the people, their region and their time.

This is why there are so many different Gods and Goddesses. In other words, the One Divine has many faces and therefore there is no one true path. There are many long winding paths that are all connected. For me being raised Catholic, Mother Mary and Jesus are who I connect with the most but for me it seems they are faces that the Divine knows I am connected to. There are so many aspects of the Divine and I appreciate all that I come to learn about each of them. They each hold precious gifts and insights into the Divine and humanity.

I experience such great love when connecting with others in the pagan community and especially during ritual when all is quiet and I am surrounded by the Divine and each of the Divine's gifts. Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Each is a gift to be accessed and cherished. We have been given such great power that most will sadly never come to know.

Sometimes the love is so overwhelming during ritual it brings me to tears. This doesn't happen every time but quite often.

I believe that in human form on planet we must experience the dark in order to fully ascend into complete Love and Light in the next realm of consciousness. It is a test, a lesson, a weapon, and a challenge to conquer.

When I am sitting at home watching YouTube videos posted by those that are of like mind I smile, giggle, sometimes get all warm and fuzzy. It depends on the person and the topic but I can tell you this...there are several that you can't help but feel the love that comes through the screen. The fact that they take the time to share their experiences, their lives, their sadness and joy is a gift to be treasured and to be grateful for. I believe that we are all coming here to connect because of love and the understanding of others that are of like mind.

That is what seems to be overlooked these days by some. People want to judge and be critical because they see the light that shines from so many of that which they are lacking. So what do they do? They project all of the negative junk that is brewing within them at everyone they come into contact with. Be it online or in person. I learned a long time ago that if someone has a toxic personality....stay clear of them. This is why the block and delete buttons are so useful. If everyone would ignore the behavior they would be forced to stop. They feed off of the arguing and negativity that it can breed.

I have seen over the past week or so, people getting upset and leaving YouTube because of the few hateful people trying to unleash their own negativity upon us but in reality, in the pagan community all that was truly unleashed was even more love and respect.

So my answer is clearly yes to "Is there an expression of love in the pagan community and in our rituals?"

Love really is all there is. The very reason I do my best to "Harm None" is because I love everyone. If you truly believe we are all connected, how can you not love all? Don't you love yourself?

That is not to say I don't get angry. I get VERY angry at times but I do not waste my energy or time on those that wish to destroy love. So, what can be done you may ask? We shall gather, stand tall, side by side, hands clasped, eyes open, mouths closed and when they are met by a wall of silence they will either open their hearts to love or retreat. The choice is theirs.

Blessings of Love

Dealing with negative, bitch picky people....Simply don't.

YouTube is evidently brimming with these folks and always will I suppose, just like the rest of the world. My opinion on this is.....It's comparable to a high school student bickering back and forth with an elementary school student. They will not understand a thing you say or try to explain. My personal choice concerning this is the following....If I begin to read an email or comment for approval and see that it is negative in any way shape or form I take a deep breath, smile and hit the trash can button. I don't even make note of the senders name. They are gone...bye, bye. Scoot along to someone else because I will not participate in the madness. 

Also, I don't give the option for people to like or dislike my videos because I feel if they don't like what I have to say, don't watch me and don't subscribe to me, they DO have a choice. I will not waste my time or energy on such nonsense and disrespectful behavior.

There are so many wonderful, people on youtube that are truly spiritually awake, awakening, teaching and learning that wish to share their experiences and it's simply not fair or acceptable what these others are doing. If they had a lick of sense and truly understood witchcraft they would know better than to intentionally piss off a true witch.

I read somewhere once that all witches draw from the same well, so why would one wish to taint it in such a way? Those doing this are obviously oblivious and should seek a different path until they mature and learn respect for this one.

What they send out returns, they will get what they deserve, one way or another, sooner or later. Being the Libra that I am, I desire harmony. I believe in being Love and Light until it is time to not be. There are those times and I do not fear them.

These are my personal opinions that I am entitled to, so don't go gittin your knickers in a knot....okay? hehehe

Raw Food Life Force Energy by Natalia Rose

The beautiful Joanna Devoe recommended this book in one of her videos and I have started reading it and Ohhhhhh....It makes so much sense! If you can, please please read it. I found it on Amazon but if you have a Half Price Books close to you then check there first.

Now I must say, take it slow and don't cut out all animal proteins from your diet at once. Just cut down because it could have side effects as Joanna mentioned in her video, she started losing her hair. Sooooo my friends....everything in moderation and listen to your body. Just begin by making wiser food choices and this book is a wonderful guide. Do I agree with EVERYTHING in this book? Well of course not! I pick and choose what makes sense for my health and spiritual needs. :)

I had already begun changing my diet to more organic foods and products about a year ago and boy is it tough to make changes! But these changes are for the better, I promise you that and what does a powerful Life Force Energy create? Well....even more powerful Magick of course! 

Lately I have been watching videos about how to make herbal tinctures, oils and salves for health and healing. I have always trusted and used store bought herbs but after seeing how easy these items are to make, I think I shall make my own. We should all know how to do these things to care for ourselves and our families.

My thoughts today...
There are those that remember and delve deeper, tapping into and harnessing the power of the Universe and our beautiful Mother Earth.

Most that truly understand the magnificence of this power are humbled by it. Then there are those that are unable for one reason or another, to believe that something so wondrous is even possible.

We are all connected and this is why we are able to cast spells that manifest and affect another and our realities. Those of us that know this, are able to harness the power and manipulate it most effectively.

Those that know, are a beacon, a light, holding the torch, directing the burning flame into the darkness lighting the path of those that seek Source.

There is a reason all those years ago certain people in power attempted to banish magic from the masses. The reason is simple. The reason is because magic exists, magic is power, and magic is a threat to those that wish to oppress and control the populace.

Everyone is magic but you must believe in yourself and that you are powerful or the magic lies dormant like a dusty old book up on a top shelf just out of reach. The knowledge is there but you must desire it and then take the book up, blow off the dust and open it.

The world wide web is exactly that. A magical web that reaches every corner of the world and draws in all of those that seek to remember the magic. It connects all of us that remember who and what we really are and that we are to be kind, loving and share what we know. I believe its true design was not meant for commerce but to connect the world, breaking down walls and untruths and that it has. Just look at the uprisings around the world and how the leaders that terrorized, tortured and killed their own people were not able to hide. They were forced into the light for all to see. Personal accounts on youtube and internet news of people willing to die for their most basic right...freedom.

The shift is well upon us.

New Moon in Taurus
Now is the time for new beginnings. Watch for previously planted seeds to sprout as well as planting new ones! Make a wish, start saving, plant seeds in your garden....yay!  )0(

Received this in the mail today and I'm soooo excited!!! 1MoonMother recommended it in one of her videos and I found a used copy on Amazon.com. I have a feeling this is an awesome read! 

Blood use in ritual...
This is not a practice of mine but the subject has come up on youtube and I find it quite interesting and feel compelled to share my thoughts and feelings. I posted a video response to avalonmoon's "Must I Be A Blood Witch" video on my channel and one of the comments appears to be posted by a witch or wiccan, the first among many I suspect, indicates that it is harmful and dark. I find this quite confusing coming from a supposed worker of magick and here is why...

Within the sacred circle, unseen forces are called upon for assistance and or protection to aid in the work of the witch, walker between the worlds. This very act in itself does still appear to be dark to those that do not understand it.  Our tools are the properties and powers of water, salt, herbs and crystals just to name a few.  So how could it be that we consider the use of our own blood the life giving force that flows through our veins nourishing our bodies to be dark? I personally believe it is out of fear and ignorance along with the worry that there would be those that would and do abuse the practice. We allow others access to this most precious part of our physical being for medical testing and donating to save the lives of others therefore it makes no sense to me whatsoever that we would purposely deny ourselves the use of this most magickal life giving essence. It is in no way dark, it is life.

I am not implying that this is right or wrong. The witch chooses their own tools that they are individually guided to and that is as it should be. However, it would seem clear that the most powerful tool is one that is not one separate from the witch but a part of them.

I am not condoning anyone hurting themselves in any way. No cutting, slicing or such nonsense. You are a gift to this world, you should always treat yourself as such and great care should always be taken in all that you do as to cause no harm to yourself or others.

Let us remember the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty...it was only a prick of the finger that allowed the manifestation of the spell that caused the entire kingdom fall into a 100 year slumber and it is always love that breaks the evil spells. hmmmm...I think there just may be a few carefully hidden in plain sight truths in some of those old fairy tales.

Take care, be kind, be loving and always Blessed Be!
