To Obtain a House

Well, as of May 1st, I will be a proud home renter. This will be my first home to move into, and it will be my first time to have a true space of my own. I hope to upload pictures from the first day, because I’ve never seen a house look more like a witch’s cottage than this place. Its a small two story cottage surrounded by woods. I found out quickly that the house searching and waiting process is a stressful one. For a while we didn’t know if we were going to be able to get the house due to other bidders, and even before that we were worried nothing would open up in our location, but after some careful planning and some waiting, we found our home. This process got me thinking though, there has to be something to make this less stressful, so today I’m going to share some secrets on selling as well as buying a home, pagan style. 

Step Right Up

Flash. Give me terror*. Curtain up.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
From Americans to Englishmen,
we’ve all got some time to spend,
so why not tune in tonight.

We have a special show for you,
a woman steps in the glass room,
so all of you may resume,
your judgment for tonight.

Flash. Give me brutal honesty*. Dim the lights.

Her hair is far too frizzy,
Her dress is loud and busy,
but her hips will make you dizzy,
with a girth that surpasses thirty-six.

Now don’t allow your feelings,
to be giving you the reasons,
just watch her as she weakens,
so don’t believe a second— her charade.

Flash. Give me malice*. Que the music .

Don’t ever for a moment,
think she isn’t asking for it.
just in case you haven’t noticed,
she clearly chose to take the stage.

So, as she’s glanced at by the people,
and you judge her as they mingle.
and whisper why she’s still single,
let’s not forget she’s the one who set the stage.

Flash. Give me envy*. And…scene.

Dream prophecy and Interpretation

So, I had a dream last night. It was actually a horrific nightmare that has caused me to ponder and pick apart the events very carefully today. Do you believe in dream interpretation? How do you view prophetic dreaming? This is actually a complicated subject for me. From all that I’ve learned in the scientific realm… dreams are either replays of different events that you have watched or experienced in your life time, or they are as Sigmund Freud has described, “junk dreams”. Junk dreams are when you dream of just random, for lack of a better word “psychedelic” dreams that really don’t make much sense. This I believe to be true, but I also know for more than one documented occasion, I’ve prophecized death. 

What’s This?

“What’s this? a college student planned to get work done not only on her homework but also on her blog? That can’t be so. Something must be done about this” Said Zeus unto me… and thus he made it so. I had lists and lists of things I was going to begin for this blog, and then a large thunderstorm mixed with straight line winds broke 2 power poles in half, sent my chickens tumbling in their coop down what can only be described as a miniature cliff down the side of our hill… Oh well. 

 

So what do we have to look forward to in the coming posts? Well, I’m going to continue the Kitchen Witch Series as well as start a new one. I’m a huge fan of Halloween in all of its forms, and have been throwing a huge Halloween party at my parents house for going on 6 years now. That being said, I want to start a series just about all of the prep and Ideas that I go through for the creative process. I’ll be posting deals that I find, cheap ways to decorate, as well as recipes that I love to use for the party. Who’s excited? I’m excited! I’m so glad I have this blog to share with everyone as well as to feel a part of this New Age community. The best is yet to come!

Dear Parent: So your son/daughter is pagan…

So, chances are that you’ve stumbled upon some book in your teen’s room, you’ve overheard a conversation, or you’ve discovered their search history and have come to the conclusion that they have an interest in the New Age movement. They might be using the term wiccan, pagan, witch, or simply neo-pagan (though there are a lot more names out there for us). I’ve heard all the worries before, and I’m here to tell you, everything will be ok. We don’t bite, we aren’t as evil as everyone says that we are, and we aren’t going to destroy your children. This post is specifically written for you, the parent, who is trying to come to terms with your teen’s recent developments as well as their new founded interest in a different path.

Beautiful Creatures: The Witch Next Door

I also wanted to share the newest blog that I’ve started with my boyfriend. We review movies, new and old but I particularly wanted to share with everyone this little pagan jewel. What does everyone think of this movie in the pagan society as opposed to the new Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunter (which I don’t mind at all… but I really love the Beautiful Creatures).

Dating from the Broomcloset

So, how does one date from the broomcloset? That’s a very good question. Though I have encountered lots of different kinds of people, I’ve found that the relationships I’ve been in have been…. religiously neutral? its proven to be rather effective in my lifestyle, but at the same time, I understand you can’t help but love who you love, and with Valentine’s day just passed, sometimes some sound advice is in order for those of us who are vexed with the question, how do we let the familiar out of the bag?

Channeling Yourself

Sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it? To channel means to call something without, within; but what if you want to call a part of yourself to the surface? Technically it could be hiding so deeply within you it may feel like you don’t even have it at all, or do you? And, what is this “it” that I’m speaking of? It could be self-confidence, it could be strength, it could be courage but no matter what “it” is, it is inside of you.
