Have Faith

Many religious groups talk about having faith. Being pagan I share the concept although it's having faith in the universe.

Last spring I lost $10 when I went to the gym and dropped my id. A few days later, my partner went out to get his usual morning coffee and money fell out of his pocket in the truck. The $10 bill was gone. I had faith that there must have been someone in the world that really needed that money.

Now we're hurting for money. This morning, going about my usual day, I found a beat up $20 bill on the ground.

It just means the universe thought I could use it now, and someone else needed it before.

I always try to remember when I am forced to go without, it is just the way the Goddess and God want it to be.

I have this wonderful opportunity to sell my handmade soaps in a store. I finally found my packaging that I really like. Of course, I cannot easily find the paper I want to use for my wrap. Although, I did get the stickers! One step at a time!

In the meanwhile, I have an etsy shop. I have to make more soap, order more labels, and get the paper so I can get my soap into the store front I have been offered. Now's the time to act!

Witchy.Woman.83 on Instagram

Six weeks ago I started an Instagram account for all my witch themed images. I felt like my personal account was getting a bit more confusing than I wanted. I also want a ton of followers and none that can see pictures of my family.

This account started when I took a bunch of informational images I found useful to the witch community and shared them. Now I'm slowly getting a little more personal. I started posting images of crystals with different lights to help you identify your own, and putting in a description of the stones. I also do 3 card tarot (same basic layout) asking how my day will be. I don't do this every day, and sometimes the cards are not layed out "correctly." But... The information is there to help learn the cards and share what images each tarot deck has.

I currently own 10+ tarot/oracle decks, and countless gemstones and crystals. The gemstone photos will likely take a long while for me to share all of them since I'm limiting myself to one per day. (Can I schedule them to post later if I create a few at once? I will look into that)

If you have time, please go check out my Instagram. I'm sure it will be a little more fun than my blog.

Have a beautiful day.

Friday The Thirteenth

Friday the thirteenth can be a good or bad day depending upon the power you give it.

For me personally, its usually a good day.

Yesterday I woke up for work feeling energized before my alarm went off. I accomplished more than I expected to in the time I had between work. I think I got into overtime again in my "part time job." My ex made a childsupport payment. <I>he's a bit of a deadbeat father...</I> my honey and I had a great night together and got to visit without feeling exhausted after working 6am-8pm for each of us.

Just a whole bunch of little things that added up to a good day.

My partner and best friend, would say the day was not so good for him. He stepped in doggy poo for the first time in 6+ years. He smacked his head on the cabinet, got a splinter... All minor things that could have ruined his day until he realized what the day was and I fixed his outlook.

Friday the thirteenth is special for witches because there are 13 full moons every year. 13 is the "perfect" coven size. Friday is for the goddess Freya. I'm sure there's much more in the reasoning for the day to be magical.

Many people I know and care about just think of nightmare on elm street when its Friday the thirteenth.

It all depends on your viewpoint.


I hope you had a blessed Friday the thirteenth.

Kneeling NFL Players

I'm sure everyone in the US have heard or seen the NFL players who are kneeling during the national anthem.

I am angry about their choice to disrespect our country.

People have their lives so that we, as Americans, can sit home watching NFL games, or believing in our own things. People died so that black people wouldn't be slaves! So women could have equal rights as men.

Yet there are people who don't know what the national anthem represents. There are people who don't understand the price people have paid to give us the freedoms we have today.

If millions of people didn't fight the wars they have, many giving their lives- I wouldn't be free to write this blog. I wouldn't be able to say "I dont believe in Christ" and I wouldn't be able to openly say I don't have faith in Christianity. For those simple thoughts, I could be hung, or shot.

Men and women gave their lives for people like us to do what we want to do. My granddaddy was in world war 2. He lost many friends to the war. My uncles fought in Vietnam. They lost their friends! My friends fought in Iraq. The few who made it home are changed!

They gave up their lives for us! So we could openly say we don't like our president, or to have religious beliefs of our own. For men, women, black, white, gay or straight to have equal rights.

And how does the NFL players show their respect for the soldiers who lost their lives and gave up everything for us? They kneel. They say they don't like our country so the best thing they can do is kneel during the national anthem and show all those generations before us what kind of asshole our country has become.

In my opinion- all those who kneel during the national anthem, should be forced into the service and made to fight at least one tour.

Those men need to understand what that song represents.

When I was a kid we spent 2 or 3 months going over WWII and reinacting it. We drew cards with our names and descriptions of the people we were to become during that time. I was a white soldier. If we were really who we were except in the 40s, I'd have been a nurse.

The point is- we spent months learning about those people who gave their lives for us. We dissected the national anthem. We learned the meaning.

And now? My son is 14, he had no idea what the words are or what the song represents. He didn't understand why I would have such strong feelings.

And those men, kneeling? Its like they're spitting on our dead soldiers. Stabbing the veterans in the back.

I can only hope our future generations learn the importance of the soldiers and what they've given since the current 20-30something people obviously don't get it.

Saying Goodbye

Last week I drove 22 hours to get my mother and myself to my grandmother's wake and funeral. I haven't been there in over twenty years.

I love and miss all my family and I honestly wish that was a trip that could last much longer and under better circumstances.

Now I'm hoping I can bring my children and partner there to meet the people who helped give me happy memories during my childhood.

These are the people who taught me to work hard for what I want and everything will fall in place.

The drove home took us 37 hours. It was much more difficult to return home when both places feel like I belong. 

I left a piece of me down south. I am broken.
