Tarot Night!

I went to a local metaphysical shop for Tarot Practice Night. Fun & free! Most of the other people there had much more experience with the cards than I, and all were helpful and informative. I like other Witches/Wiccans! (Although there were all sorts there; all seemed bright & nice.) We had one person draw a card, then everyone there gave a quick read for her/him based on that card. Seems as if you have to just jump in with Tarot & let it flow, which is good for me because IN NO WAY do I know what all 78 cards mean yet! However, one older woman who did great readings for everyone else told me my take on her card was right on. Beginner's intuition!

My Tarot was designed by Paulina Cassidy, and it is richly detailed and exquisitely beautiful. It is not bright, so it's not an obvious deck, but I am loving it more each day.

Ready for Imbolc

I could call it Candlemas for my Catholic mum. The more I read about Wicca the more I see Catholicism as a crafty type religion. Just one that gives all the power to people with penises.

But I am getting ready for Imbolc as it snows. I have lovely pale pink tulips from a reasonably (100 miles away according to Whole Foods) local farm. They are so beautiful that it is spiritual to gaze at them. My pink quartz sphere seems to take on an extra shine right now. Tomorrow I will declare myself for the witchcraft path, honor the Goddess Brigid, eat a delicious dairy based meal, and start the Spring cleaning!

I had hoped to be able to find some snowdrops, but no luck with that on the Eastern seaboard.

I am really ready to walk the path now.

Baby Witch

OK, I have created my secret witchy identity here. I am just, just starting on the Path. I have exactly ONE person with whom I can discuss it. So, anonymously, I will discuss it here, beneath the naked night.
