Paths I Walk

For about 20 years I've been a Wicca/pagan/witch off and on, depending on what was going on in my life. I feel much more at home on this path though then any other I have tried. I'm more centered and the world around me means more to me then when I walk any other path. I'm home here with Goddess's arms around me, I'm safe here.
Silver Ravenwolf is my favorite author when it comes to all things Wicca in nature and she is such an amazing teacher that I've never failed to learn from her and grow with her books in my hands. I have quite a few of them and they are very valuable resources to me. I couldn't leave them behind.
I'm having to rework my book of shadows for now as the one I had was either taken by my ex husband or tossed out by mistake by my mother. I have a ton of 3 ring binders in the house I use to share with her and she gets tired of my clutter and rather then looking inside would toss things. This time I will have a back up on the computer, which I use to have on my old computer before it died, and another on my jump drive, I'm also thinking of having a second hard copy broke up into several different smaller and more manageable books. Only time will tell with this adventure.
Being an empath makes life hard at times, hence the need to meditate to keep me grounded, and is even harder to manage when life is crazy as it has been the past couple of months. I find myself with Insomnia and restless energy that I can't balance out, followed with bouts of exhaustion and nightmares. My fiance goes back to work next week though and things should start to level out again.
I had a crazy dream yesterday when I napped that I was a person that had a spirit animal in the form of a white kitten and there was this decrepit old wizard type person that kept trying to kill me and because of the kitten he could not and there was a voice that tormented him and made do the evil things he did. He would use his power to blow people apart and send little bits of then flying in every direction. The voice told him to kill the kitten and then he would be able to kill me so he came after the kitten. I saw his decrepit twisted hands with long fingers and even longer fingernails reaching for the kitten when i woke up.
I was very shaken from this one but nightmares are nothing new to me unfortunately as I've had them most of my life.

Meditative Review

I do realise that it is quite late, so late that it is almost early but I wanted to get this post out of the way as I'm running late with my series as well as late with almost everything else. This was suppose to be a review on my meditations and what method I'm using this week. How things are going and my insights and observations and the like.
I am forced to admit that I'm rather failing at meditation right now, there is just to much going on for me to be able to set aside time to try this and the two times that I did try it I fell asleep so I know my timing is off. I hope to have better news and more information next week as well as more time to do these mediation's but I will post the meditation here for now and see how things go next week.
I stated a mediation journal so that I could post observations and the like in it but have only written on one page ATM. I'm rather discouraged about that but I just haven't had the time nor the quiet in order to meditate though next week my fiance goes back to work and I will have a few hours of the day in order to get things done easier and still devote all my time to him when he is home.
The meditation I'm using is in To Ride A Silver Broomstick by Silver RavenWolf. It is the fountain meditation, the first of the three part meditation to clear and clean the chakra centers and cleanse the body. That is something that I need right now as my health has been off and the pain in my stomach is back again. I'm on pain killers again to keep the pain under control.
The good and bad thing about that is that the sell ibuprofen with codeine over the counter here. I can keep the pain under control easily enough with these but it is easy to take to many. I have been working on not taking to many and only taking 2 every 4 hours as recommended but its easy to take more and get more when the pain is overwhelming and I can't get it under control. More on this next week, I have to sleep.

A New Commitment.

I have decided to start a new blog series and to commit to writing something at least 6 days a week on all three of my blogs. I hope that it will go well and I'm going to post my ideas and schedule here and see how my writing everyday boosts my confidence and creativity and spirituality. We will just have to see how it goes. I need to see if I can post my other blog links on my pages so that they are easily accessable.

My schedule is:
Monday - Meditation Review
Tuesday - Paths I Walk
Wendsday - The Moon's Beauty
Thursday - Garden Goodies
Friday - Almanac Magick
Saturday - Never ending search for supplies

My other blogs are

Until tomorrow.

Memories

Its been a while since I've been able to worship and it makes me think about the things I've done in the past and what I've been through. I remember the first ritual I ever did, it was with my boyfriends guidance in Detroit MI. He would never let me do ritual with him when he did it but for me he was always there. He was my intro into the craft. I was 17 and smitten like a kitten.
I remember one night when we went out to pick rose petals to make rose water and he told me to thank the plant and I told him that I've been doing that all my life when I pick flowers. He looked at me with round eyes. I didn't even know what I was doing when I did it but when I was little and would pick flowers for my mom I always thanked the plant it came from. It just felt like the right thing to do.
After that boyfriend that entered my life left it I still stayed with the craft and was happy to. I have strayed away from the path from time to time but its always felt like home to me.
I remember when I got my cat Smoky Joe and how he would sit right outside the circle when I would worship or do something in circle. Then I started letting him in and he would lay under my alter and watch me and purr the whole time. That was an interesting addition to my ritual.
I have many books and have learned a lot. I want to learn more and am always pulled this way and that when it comes to what I want to learn. I also write stories, some Wicca in nature. I will hunt some of them up and post them here. The are very nice, maybe I should write more of them.
I think I will post one now or maybe tomorrow as I can't figure out how to copy and paste into this stupid thing and I'm to tired to think about it and say goodnight. Its late and my pain meds are kicking in so my eyes are getting heavy.

And the walk begins.

I will put a bit about myself here but I do have 2 other blogs that have been going on longer so if anyone is interested they can check those out and get more of a background on me.
I started this blog to keep track of my Wicca path as of late. That and I'm getting into blogging and wanted a new one. *smiles*
I just moved to Australia from the United states so I'm still getting use to how things work with the wheel of the year here. I was hoping to find a magical almanac with the seasonal switch but no luck as of yet. I'm also searching for a supply store that sells the wonderful tools and goodies that I need and again no luck. I will post more on that later and I find things.
Right now I'm reading the 2011 Llewellyn's magical almanac and finding the articles very interesting. I'm also getting involved with Witchvox and seeing if there are some like minded peeps here in Perth that I can be friends with. Again more on that later.
I moved to Perth from New Mexico in the USA to be with my fiance, soon to be husband, Peter. We have been seeing each other online for over 2 years now and have decided to spend the rest of our lives together. Peter will be my 3rd husband, (3rd time is the charm), which explains why I've been so cautious and put things off for so long. He isn't religious but he is interested in my path and we have fun talking about some of the things that I know and believe in. He asks great questions.
He is a bit of a hermit and I don't mind that but I'm not. I'm shy when it comes to meeting new people but I'm also very social and like to be around like minded people.
We are both gamers, we play computer games, PlayStation and the like, board and card games too. We also love books and movies and our interests run parallel so that's great.
I'm crafty and a writer too more on those later on the other blogs as well. I will post some pic's and the like later on.
Well I guess that's enough of an update on this new one.
Blessed Be
Lady Wolf
