Witchcraft, Wiccan, Paganism





I finally decided to share my journey here...




This is not something I would normally share online but I feel the time is right ....




My Journey began a long time as I realized I was missing aspects of my life.. through addictions, bad habits and bad choices I found Christianity did not have the answers I was seeking ... '

Even though I went through Confirmation as a teen I went to Church regularly even as an adult, it was part of my life....as I listened to the Sermons I felt it did not fit with what I believed... I did not believe there was a God as such, that this was not masculine or feminine but a Universal Deity that was neither yet was both ... To find wholeness within .. It was not mean or nasty or non-forgiving, it was not full of wraith it was All That It Was.... It was Inner Peace, Inner Bliss, Inner Joy, Inner Happiness... It was ONE! ... Where to find something? I had this need to belong I went to the library and read book after book relating to Christianity, maybe there was a branch that would suit me , but nothing seemed to fit, One day I picked up a Book on Green Witchcraft by Ann Moura... Omg Suddenly my life made sense... suddenly I felt I belonged... I understood the journey was an individualistic perception ... as the perception was whatever I held onto for that moment.. That perception can evolve, change and grow...




I began a journey that was one of self-discovery .. I read Witchcraft magazines (Australian magazine- now not on offer) ... read loads of different books, to learn from other people and to bring in my own.. Silver RavenWolf asked questions to make you think .... Practice in Rituals by self ... I developed and grew, expanded within myself... I found "Witchschool.com" and did some study with the theory behind the practical aspects of Magick .. Over the years I joined a Coven, found people of like-mind, went to Pagan Festivals, read and read, practiced and kept a Grimoire, a Book of Shadows, Journals of my thoughts, spells, rituals etc.... Had a partner for awhile that joined me in Ritual until we went our separate ways ... Worked Skyclad with self and with a partner... There have been many Transformations in my journey .... I have taught and mentored with Wicca, Witchcraft Practices.. allowing those to move forward in their own individual journey... Sharing the knowledge and the teachings I have learnt. the Use and understanding of Tools within Ritual... The sacredness of each of us ...




There is so much information out there I want to collect some links that you may find helpful... I also want to share the knowledge I have gained over the years .... , My Thoughts, beliefs, some myths and legends, some that may be true and some may not be... let us discover a path that is a lifestyle, something hat is not a weekend belief, or something I do sometimes and not on others but this path I journey everyday.... every moment I am living my life ....




Blessed Be ....

I am having so much fun, being creative, discovering new decks online to share for fun, for learning and developing own intuition, ability to receive the guidance from Tarot and Oracle cards.. My Recommendation: Download The Orphalese Tarot and Oracle Software.... Choose one of the versions available... Comes with 2 Decks and 3 Spreads.... Version 10   ... (limited usage )  if you want to  add more decks  either register which is quite reasonable  or go back to version 9.... Then you can continue .... Now comes the Fun Part....

How I Connect With The Cards...

The Way I Connect with the Cards, the messages as individuals for each person. Knowing that each person is so different from another... I understand that everyone is different, All Readers read differently. They may use tools or no  tools . They may use Cards, Runes, I-Ching, Tea-leaves, palms and crystals.. You may even find a reader that connects with jewelry. There are so many ways a reader will read for a client. Even card readers read differently from each other, Some use Tarot, Oracle, or even Lenormand Cards, Others will use playing cards, they use specifically for Readings. You may find some readers read the cards to set meanings and others use them as Gateways to connect with their Spirit Guide to receive individual messages.  There is no One Correct way. There are no blanket rules in regards to how a reader should read.  You may find some readers connect to the Angels and Archangels before and during the reading.  You may find  Tarot and other Card readings sim

There are many ways to read this Spread.. Trust in how you choose to read it . This is one variation ...  Let us begin  by looking at the centre card 1) The Rider - News .. there is some news on it's way, what type of News, let's see what the other cards say, to modify the card related to the News ...  We look to the Left and we see Letter - so we know the news may be written .. To the right A Woman - is the written news from a woman or to the woman?    Above The Stars - maybe it is Spiritual  News on some level ...  Underneath - The Bear - Could be related to a Mother or are you the Mother... Is the news in regards to strength or protection on some level ?   Now let's look at the four corners-  The Scythe  With the Rider and the Road  So maybe it is important you let go of something so you can make a decision in regards to the news?   You have Key Rider and Clover ... T he News may be the key to some Good fortune .. ..  Let us look at the

Angel Tarot by Travis McHenry

 I wanted to revisit this Tarot deck. I have had it for awhile but really not worked with the Angels and Archangels in this deck So I wanted to begin by getting to know each of them slowly .. Taking my time  to explore  each card ..   Separating the deck into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana into their suits I began by looking at the Six Archangels with Gold Typing for the Archangels ... These cards are not in any particular order but resonate for the creator with those energies .   Then Day Two   I pulled out the cards 0 The Fool  to 7 The Chariot .... and looked at the Angels of these cards and how they connect to the tarot Meanings ... the way I can use these cards directly with knowing the Tarot keywords or  by looking at the Archangels and Angels  and looking at the keywords and using what  stands out in that moment ... Doing a spread and seeing how the cards merge together in a reading ...  Before I continued with Cards 8- The Strength to 14 Temperance and finally finishing
