To be WICCAN is to be free!

Religion is one of the freedoms. People are born with here. It was one of the reasons the Puritans traveled from Britain to America in the 1600’s. Historically, the Puritans did not want to convert to Roman…

A letter to a friend

Dearest Friend, (nameless)

Why is it we always fall for our best friends? Is it because we know we can trust them? Is it because we know them so well? Is it because of the way they know exactly what's going on in our heads? Or is it because they are there any day, anytime, anywhere without the promise of kisses, intimate touches or whispered sentiments of love? I think we love them because they are there when there is nothing in it for…

Such a beautiful tiny flower

Is the forget-me-not

How could I ever forget my true love

I think of you every hour

Soft blue petals just like your eyes

Somehow they keep me mesmerized

When I hold you time stands still

I'll love you forever and you know I will

You throw your seeds of love everywhere

Some call them weeds but I don't care

I just can't help but stare

at my tiny flowers in my garden

I'll forgive the world and…

I know how to smile and laugh
And I know how to cry
As I remember you and all that we had
I thank you for that photograph

When I miss you
And I'm feeling blue
I know just what to do

I look again at the pictures of you
Some old and some new
Beauty isn't just skin deep
It's you in my dreams when I sleep

I held the hand of a little girl lost

We walked for awhile together

She told me about her life

She lived her life so fast

And now she had to pay the cost

She said she was lost in the dark and in her past

I said I'll hold your hand and help you find your way

Slowly the clouds blow away and she saw the sunshine

I could hold her hand tight enough

She was drawn into the light

She had too much pain here

So she took flight…

Show me the way to heaven I cried

But my angel said no

Free me from my chains

My angel still said no

Please I need to be free I begged

My angel said no

What must I do I cried

You know what to do she said with a smile

No I cried I don't have a clue

My angel looked at me with tears in my eyes

She simply said live

I cried no I don't want to anymore

It's too hard without you near

She smiled into my eyes and…

My memories are like chocolates but instead of emptying the box

I am filling it

All our time together goes into the box

All your giggles and your smiles so sweet

Your beautiful soft voice melts away

Your sparkling eyes always leaves me wanting more

Your annoyed with me again sweet and sour

All the loving hours that never fill me up

There is no lock on this box

Every time I open it

I smile and I cry

So many mixed emotions …

Now is the hour I wait for each day

I lay here quiet and still

I think of you

And always will

How your eyes hypnotize me

They make me dream only of you

You fill my nights with happiness

Then you're gone

You've flown away

And you are free

When I wake from my dreams

I wonder where you have gone

This happens every night

I long to be with you next to those flowing streams

In the garden of happiness…

Bright eyes shine in the night

Awake again waiting

If I close my eyes will I see you

My dreams are always the same

No matter what distractions of the day

When I'm with you it's pure delight

With you I find my love while the world spends it's time hating

I look deep into your eyes

I'll kiss your soft lips

My hand in yours

I hear your soft sighs

The sky darkens with the moon's eclipse

As the seas rise and fall and wave…

Darkened Angel

Jillian

Her wings are black

From the charcoal

That she rose

From like a phoenix from the ashes

She is beautiful

And…

WICCA SYMBOLS

Various different symbols are used by Wiccans, similar to the use of the crucifix by Christians or the Star of David by Jews. The most notable of these is the pentagram, which has five points, each representing one of the five classical elements in Wicca (earth, air, fire, water and spirit) and also the idea that the human, with its five appendages, is a microcosm of the universe. Other symbols that are used include the triquetra and the triple Moon symbol of the…

Wicca Afterlife, Wiccan Life after Death Beliefs

Beliefs in the afterlife vary among Wiccans, although reincarnation is a traditional Wiccan teaching. Raymond Buckland said that a soul reincarnates into the same species over many lives in order to learn and advance one's soul, but this belief is not universal. A popular saying amongst Wiccans is "once a witch, always a witch", indicating that Wiccans are the reincarnation of earlier witches.

Typically, Wiccans who…

Renee’ leaving

Poetic License (Alexandra leaving)

Suddenly the night has grown colder.

The Goddess of love is preparing to depart.

Renee’ hoisted on her shoulder,

They slip between the sentries of the heart.

Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,

They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;

And radiant beyond your widest measure

They fall among the voices and the wine.

It's not a trick;…

A poem by My Sweet Renee', Rest in Peace, I miss you so....

An Angel’s view

By Renee’

Standing on this roof top

Staring at the dark nite

How calm the sparkling lights look

The city spreading herself like in a book

How cold is this nite!

How fair are your starry skies!

This gentle breeze

How it my dress does tease

All seems at peace

But what lies under thee

Is not beauty

Its…

A poem by my Dear friend Renee', I miss you Renee'... Rest In Peace

A Trail of Tears

By Renee’

A trail of tears we leave behind

To find a better life we strive

A trail of heartbreak

A trail of hardship

Our journey is long, but our hearts are true

If we stay together we are strong

Once our lives were full of Happiness

But now it’s all gone



Are our Spirits Broken?

No!

Yet they are full of…

A Bringer of Sadness

By Renee’

(Old but relevant)

Oh Saturn, come ... devour me

Safe in your Darkness I long to sleep

I'll make my heart a sword of steel

I will not doubt, I will never feel

Although petrified, I shall not fear...

Although petrified I shall not breathe fear

Oh Saturn, come ... devour me

Safe in your Darkness I  shall be…

Dearest Friends,



The colors of the leaves have changed and the nights have grown longer. The weather has turned colder and we all take a…

Life sucks sometimes it's true

But make the best of things that's what you have to do

Take what you have and make it better

If she thinks she's going to win don't you let her

Learn life can be beautiful just the way it is

Even if you don't have champgne with fizz

Love a little, laugh a lot

And don't worry about the things you aren't got

'Cos stuff is just stuff

It will break

Success isn't material things

Diamonds and rings…

Young lovers say forever when they mean tonight

Their love and lust rages with in their bodies

An old woman remembers the love she has lost

She thinks of how life is to short and longs for

the love and lust of her lover who has now past.

But their love was not just for a night

It lives forever and a day

The love in her heart keeps her warm at night

Happy in her dreams

No, there will never be another lover for the old woman 

She needs no other…

I miss this site.  Have not been here for a while.  I got asked a question the other day by a "new" younger Pagan and it is a question I get asked on a regular basis, so I choose to post the answer in this blog and thus have them refer as needed.

Why am I pagan?

First off I was never Christian.  I don't have an understanding of that way of life and I was not raised in a Christian home.  I am happy for this for a few reasons,…
