Hello all! Wow. Again - I disappeared. Haha I tend to do that do I not?
So, this time around I'd LOVE to get into a few things. First of which, my recovery - then I'll move onto Witches Weekly and I'd like to end with a discussion on the new TV Series True Blood.
I'd like to think I have fully recovered from my Wisdom Teeth extraction. I still have two holes in the back of my mouth (the other two were stiched up - no holes left) - but I've been told that will fill within time... For the first few days I had a horribly hard time chewing anything! Which was beneficial for my finger nails. I have a horrible habit of biting my nails - impossible to do if you can't chew though. So, I've been babying my nails recently - trying with great struggle not to bite them now that I can chew again.
Moving on to Witches Weekly:
What is one of your own personal creative elements that you like to add to rituals? Something that is uniquely yours.
I don't think I have done enough of my own personal rituals or group rituals to fully answer this question. Any rituals I have taken part in - the only creative thing from me ever brought into a circle has been my own energy. Although we are all connected each persons energy is unique. That is about as creative as I get...
Have you all been keeping up with the new TV series popping up on television lately? I added a new show to my list called True Blood. At first I must mention I was a bit skeptical on this show - and sure I think I may still be... This show is a little cheesy. It brings to life the idea of Vampires living side by side with humans. I think one of the only things that keeps me interested is the ability to replace the word Vampire with pagan, witch, lesbian, etc and you are living in present day United States (as this show is set in the US). You have a culture doing all it can to survive in an uneducated, bias world.
I was extremely exited when I heard the follow dialogue between the two main characters of this TV Series. It's probably the best way I would every explain magic(k) to anyone. In fact, I have used something similar to this scenario to try an explain my idea of magic(k) - hence my excitement to see it in the show.
Bill Compton: I have no heart-beat. I have no need to breathe. There are no electrical impulses in my body. What animates you no longer animates me.
Sookie Stackhouse: What does animate you then? Blood? How do you digest it then if nothing works?
Bill Compton: Magic?
Sookie Stackhouse: Oh, come on Bill! I may look naive but I'm not, and you need to remember that.
Bill Compton: You think that it's not magic that keeps you alive? Just 'cause you understand the mechanics of how something works, doesn't make it any less of a miracle...which is just another word for magic. We're all kept alive by magic, Sookie. My magic's just a little different from yours, that's all.
Well, thats all the intelligent conversation I have to share for today. Until next time. Slán go fóill

Updates, and Positive Thinking
Whew! I'm working hard to make this a once a week thing... Gosh, how hard could it be?
Well, for some updates - I've added some groups/listings etc. Just to give me a bit of a boost. My plan is to add a few more topics of discussion every time I post a blog. You know, book reviews, recipes, pagan news, a god/dess or the week (maybe), etc. I added Witches Weekly - which I'm kind of exited about I must say. So I may also add something of the like to my blog. I answer a question from them, and then maybe ask a question of my readers (to answer in the comments).
As you can see, lots to think about! However, whats been going on in my life? Well, I started my business class two weeks ago. Its a one day a week class - so you haven't really missed much of anything. The intention of the class is to help me learn how to run my very own small business. So far, we've learned nothing about opening a business. My teacher, however, has still seemed to keep my wandering attention due to his ability to be exceptionally intelligent and to be on the same wavelength as me! I'll let you in on what I mean. I think a few weeks ago I posted a blog on the movie The Secret (or at least touched on it). If you haven't seen the movie I highly recommend it. The movie is all about the ability to bring anything you want into your life based on your thoughts and emotions. What I mean by my teacher amazing me is that he is a very old man (no offense intended) and so he shows very old movies. The other day we watched a movie whose intention was to show us the basics of bringing the positive into our lives so we can successfully run a business. This movie was obviously made in the seventies or eighties (mind you, I was born at the end of the eighties - so that's a very long time ago for me) yet what it had to say was not very far off from the movie "The Secret". I almost wanted to raise my hand and ask why he doesn't just show "The Secret" instead as it is a new and better quality movie. However, it was not just the movie that he showed that amazed me. This teacher is all about thinking positively to better your life. His first question to us was "How many of you know you will get an A in this class?" A few of us raised our hands (myself included) and he said "and as long as you keep that positive thought, you will."
His point when asking that question was to see how many of us were thinking positively about the class. How many of us wanted to be there to learn. He then went into explaining this to the class and asked the question again. More than half the class raised their hands the second time around.
I do believe his thoughts on the law of attraction (even though he may not call it that) is what keeps me going to his class every week (despite the fact that it takes a lot of my gas and a good portion of my night.)
Well, now we shall get on to Witch Weekly:
"Where in your list of roles do you place your role of a pagan? By roles I mean, mother, brother, daughter, son, worker, democrat, American, lover, caretaker, etc. We all have a lot of different roles we play and usually they all fall into an order of importance. Is being a “pagan” at the top, or is it somewhere in the middle?"
The question itself is simple, but I tend to bring the complicated into the extremely simple quite often.. I am a pagan, daughter, sister, friend, worker, American, lover of all things celtic, lover of music, writer, reader, lover of turtles, closeted hippie, etc. Of all those I would rate them in the following order.
I am my mother and fathers Daughter
I am a sister to my brother and two sisters
I am a Pagan
I am a friend
I am a worker
I am a lover of all things celtic
I am an American
I am a reader
And a writer
I am a lover of turtles
and of music
I am a very closeted hippie
Etc.
Well, thats a wrap for today. Hopefully I will post again very soon, until next time!
