E is for Eagerness

I don't know why I chose the word 'eager', or 'eagerness' for that matter. But I do believe it has a lot to do with my path as an eclectic pagan and a witch. In order to be able to learn new things within my path, with zeal and vigour, I believe I need to be eager as well.

Also, I believe eagerness is a key to be successful in any endeavor, including spirituality. If you are not eager to learn and expand, then how on earth do you plan on growing in whatever path you have chosen for yourself? With eagerness comes the risk of having your spirits dampened by something you were mistaken of, but hey, that's life, right? It's full of disappointments and happiness, we can only accept that.

But what am I going on about? Eagerness is very important to have in the craft, I believe it is one of the essential driving forces within seeking knowledge within our own paths as Pagan, Wiccan, Witch, etc.

BE EAGER FOR LIFE! <3

D is for Diviniation

Okay, so this is my first for the pagan blog project lol, I have been bad at keeping up my blog, so I figured that stating this would help me along. :)
So, D is for Divination!!
I chose this word because it is something I am trying to irk in. I used to be very good with my Tarot deck, but ever since I have stopped to irk on my herbs, it has been hard getting into Tarot again. I have been working on it though, and I am starting to get better at it again, I am trying to use my oracle deck less and my Tarot more.. And I even made my own time set, perhaps I am in over my head? Perhaps, but I don't have a time book.. But I hope Roger one eventually.. There are a lot of books I need. But I am starting to work in my Tarot, I have there sets so far. One of them is a really rare set I got for 60$.
I am really excited about working with my Tarot deck
I also have a pendulum bit I have yet to work with that. In fact I have two, one amethyst and the other being metal. I have worked with the metal one a few times and I find that it works well for me. :)

Okay, Let's Do This

Yeah, I'm really bad at keeping up with my blog.. I Blame it on the fact that as an English major, I am reading books and poetry all the time. I'm taking 4 literature classes, there of which are upper level.. Whooo.. But anywho, I had a meditation with Hekate last night because I felt like sh e has been growing distant the past week or so , so I decided to meditate her to see what's up. When I did meditate with her, she told me it was because she knew I would come to her to see what was the matter. She knows me all too well. Another reason why,she purposefully distanced herself is because I haven't made enough time for her either. Well thanks to her, I was spurred to find,the time. She had a message,for me. I have this thing bothering me, that has been bothering me and haunting me since,I was 14. So about 6 years now. She told me it was time to banish it once and for all on the night of the dark moon. She said she would be there with me, to lend,her power and protection. She also told be that my patron Shiva would be,there to destroy the stagnant thing thRu is blocking me from getting in touch with my higher self and bring about the new, more psychically attuned me. Also, that my deities of the month, Isis and Wepawet would be there too. I had a feeling,that,this is what she wanted to talk to me about, since I,have this feeling of blockage and she,has been,showing my spiritual path as being,disrupted by large boulders. So we will see how this goes!! I orders some spell candles, black and,drsgonsblood resin for the incense,I will be making. This,is my second,banishing I have ever some and the first,one,went very,smoothly. Wish me luck guys!!

I'm Back!

I apologize to anyone who reads or follows my blog, as you can tell I have been absent for a long while. This is mainly due to issues concerning my laptop, lots of bugs and viruses and hardware issues, it was just one giant mess but it is fixed now!
There have been a lot of changes in my life recently, and I think that they are all for the better, I am going to a new university that is larger, cheaper and offers a lot more than my other college did so those are all good things, though I admit I will mist my friends as well as some of my professors. I am currently going through a time in my life where I am trying to get a job, but to no avail. No worries, I will get one eventually. :)

Just recently this past Thursday, I went to temple with my very wonderful and close friend Susan. It is a place that houses many religions, though the ceremony we had attended was the Tibetan Buddhist one that follows the path of Chenrezig, or otherwise known as the lord of compassion. I was astonished that each type of Buddhism, especially Tibetan, had its own minor sects, or tracts one can practice. The one we went to followed the teachings of Chenrezig in particular. I was also surprised that there were different form of Buddhas other than the Chinese and Tibetan forms, there is also a female Buddha as well who has many different arms and comes in two different colors, green and white which stands for longevity in life. I know I will be going back next Thursday to learn more and to see what it is like, though I admit I don't think I would ever become Buddhist or stick to any one religion, it makes me feel too confined. I like the spiritual freedom of being able to pick and choose what I like.

On another note, I am working with two deities this month and have already learned a lot from them! This month I am focusing on the Sumerian deities Inanna who is the great mother goddess of fertility, love and war, along with Utu, the god of the wind and the sun. I have already done some meditation with them and they have very clear messages to say to me. Inanna telling me to go one with the banishing spell I have been meaning to do and she tells me to stick up for myself more often. Utu as well is a god of activations and tells me it is time to start my projects.

This will be a very interesting month!
