Gnosis makes you free
even in body bound.
In the swirling, sucking masses,
by gnosis you are found.
My friends, my equals,
my family, my people.
Finding your way home at times
inside this age of desperation
requires that you claim
what's yours,
the transcendental education.
With gnosis you can be
surrounded but free.
In it lies the power
of ancient philosophies.
Search for yourself.
Search for your answers.

Can you understand
a young mystic like me,
with cautious footing
and careful analogy?
Consider mysticism.
Left brain female anima.
Translucent flesh vehicle.
Living, breathing moonlight.

In our modern era of witches just the mention of the word sacrifice, brings to mind the paths covered in blood.I just stopped myself from stereo-typing them as darker faiths.Blood Magic is one of the more potent forms of magic out there it is also dangerous.People get very unsettled about animal sacrifices to begin with and not to mention in this country it is illegal.Besides I never saw the point of sacrificing an animal for my magic, it's not like the poor creature can speak up and say he's… Continue

This question does not to be answered for me, but for someone else. There is a lady that asked, "Who is Grimaldi?" and that her real name was Sandra or Sarah Matthews.
She had a dream about her and the lady in the dream said she was important to the occult world. I looked the name up and all i found was pizza, some kind of island (i think) and a families' names. I don't know why, but i really want to help her find out who this lady… Continue

Title courtesy of Dreadful Shadows' "Twist in my Sobriety". Interesting song.
Anyway... been up to a lot lately, I guess. I've most definitely ascertained the name of the Goddess I've been praying to. None other than Miss Hekate herself. Figures, doesn't it? =P
Other than that, I've been spending a lot of money, reading a lot... Man, speaking of spending money, I totally blew 190 bucks on lingerie today. I was pulled in by Victoria's Secret's semi-annual sale. =( It was… Continue

for the most part I am a very trusting person I try my best not to judge other people. Because I have a kind heart I tend to get taken advantage of. though normally I don't say anything unless I have to. Today I went to pay my share of the rent. with one of my roommates. Now mind you we have a very nice landlord, and she tolerates a lot. I have been under the impression from someone that I have known for three years that never lied to me. Only to find out that now I am very close to loosing my… Continue
Saturday I was one of the people profiled in an article about people who need to sell their personal possessions in order to cover medical bills. The comments made by people to the article scared me. Pure hatred. And they did not even say I was a pagan!
I wanted to share my good news : I had been having some bad times with lure coursing—Braedie my Deerhound, stopped running, my greyhound Wicked was hurt, and I didn’t think Penn would run. We went to the Winter Challenge Lure Coursing Trial in Georgia after Christmas, and KICKED BUTT!!! Wicked acted like she had never been hurt, winning two firsts and a Best of Breed (BOB); Penn acted like she had been coursing all her life and took three firsts and two BOB’s. And Braedie decided he wasn’t done… Continue

Its more than the words the flow out of my mouth.
Its more than the lonely bird that flys south.
Its the degree of the pain you see.
Its the way of life.
Its the knife that pierces the light.
Its the way you see it.
Its when you choose to believe it.
Its what you live for.
Its the ocean shore.
Its more.
Its crazy minds.
Its mankind.
Its abusive people.
Its the steeple.
Its where they come to… Continue

Tonight i go out to smoke a cigarette and discover that my car has been egged and written on it was the word "Witch"! Gee, i wonder why I was targeted???? I am really disapointed. I moved to a small town six months ago. I have good friends here now but still notice people giving me dirty looks because of my piercings and visable pagan tattoos. But i expected that. not all people are judgemental but some still are and i knew i had to deal with that!! But for somebody to come to my house and egg… Continue
