Doing the Witches Weekly!!

1. What is your favorite herb, it’s use, and why?
Lavender lol and so many things!! For one it’s relaxing lol you can cook with it, toss it into a tub, make a tea from it… anything really. I love it because of the color, scent, and the relaxing properties.

2. What was the first herbal concoction that you ever made?
Hmm… I think it was for a bath, mixing all the herbs into some cheese cloth then tossing it into the tub. I think it was a healing bath for a cold.

3. What is your favorite flowery/herbal scent? (I.E. Roses, Patchouli)
Violet, Lavender

What is your favorite pagan related website?
WitchVox and Pagan@OSN hehe

Do you have a ‘Magical Name,’ if so, what is it and why? If not, do you think they’re necessary?
I don’t have one right now and I think it depends on if each individual person feels it is necessary. To be honest I have not given it much thought!

What element do you think best represents you as a person and why? Do you feel that multiple elements represent your personality?

Air and Fire!! Fire because of the drama, passion, temper lol and Air because of my perkiness (lightness so to speak) the ability to just go with things or dramatic change… if that makes sense!!

Which sabbat or holiday is your favorite and why?
Mabon (which is today!) and Samhain. Mabon because it is the start of the glorious season Autumn which I just adore, Samhain because it is the new year and a time to reflect and respect our ancestors.

What form of divination (if any) do you prefer and why? If you haven’t used divination before, what form most appeals to you and why? (Tarot, Runes, Tea leaves)
I adore and respect the Tarot even though I currently do not own a tarot deck.

What pantheon most appeals to your magical nature and why? (Celtic, Sumerian, Native American)
Greek, Celtic, and Native American. Greek because some of the Gods and Goddesses just speak to me, Celtic… just is starting to feel right in a lot of aspects, Native American because it is completely facinating!

Who is your favorite pagan musician? If you don’t have one, do you have a favorite pagan song?
I don’t have a favorite right now, I do adore a lot of the Pagan chants though

What type of music or what sound do you like during meditation? If you don’t meditate, what sound relaxes you the most?
Hmm… it just depends… what a bad response lol but nothing too complex, something with a repetive sound helps!

Does music create images/feelings for you, if so, what is the most memorable image/feeling you’ve had?
Yes! Love, hate, missing, wishing, sadness, happiness lol everything!

Do you prefer solitary work or coven work and why?
I’ve yet to experiance anything except for solitary work! It’s been very difficult finding anyone to do anything with heh

Do you prefer casual rituals, or strict formal rituals and why?
Casual for the most part as I don’t have a lot of time for a formal ritual

What is the most important and meaningful part of a ritual for you and why?
Hmmm, I would have to say when I am just… OPEN… my mind isn’t saturated with all of the bad problems that are in my life right now, just… that connected feeling

Do you prefer to create your own rituals or do you use rituals from books?
My own rituals, the ones in books tend to try to make it sound all fanciful lol

How did you first discover witchcraft, and what made you decide to follow that path?
Hmm I really don’t remember! I do remember finding a lot of information online when I was about 13yrs old.

Are you in or out of the closet? If you’re out, what was the initial reaction of friends and family?
Out… inital reactions? No idea lol. It was never a big announcement or anything. The only problem I have come across family wise is my father making little “Can you do a magic wicca spell” out of nowhere to win the lottery or some other weird thing.

What was your first contact like with others of the pagan faith? How did you find them?
Oh geez, I guess online. For the most part most of who I have met are awesome but a few of them… cracked out.

What do you take as the first sign of springs arrival?
The air… I’m at a loss of words on how to describe it. Just that freshness.

Do you plan to take on any new personal activities/duties this spring? If so what?
Many things! Finding a better job, working out more, spending more time with my son and boyfriend, learning to cook different cuisines, a lot of things lol

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you hear “Spring?”
Renewal

Air -  Lapis Lazuli
Water — Moonstone
Fire — Citrine
Earth -  Smoky quartz

How do you tend to aquire your crystals (ex: online shop, regular store, in nature) ? mostly normal shops at this point

Rambling

I just emailed Gina pictures of the magazines and crystals I am willing to sell. I really should go through my books again.

Matt took the wee chublet outside for a bit, my dad took chubs out earlier for a walk so Matt and I seized the time for a frisky session.

With Beltane just hours over, I am already focusing on Litha! 

Mother’s Day is in just a few days… I really want some herbs to grow, or clay, or watercolor paints. I wouldn’t mind some cards either.

I feel like an awful friend and hostess lately. I never IM or email anyone lately, or IM… I just feel like I have nothing to say. It is not personal, I just feel like my mind is muddled with stress right now.
