Tarot Tuesday

Ok, so I know, it’s not Tuesday AGAIN!  I’d start calling it Tarot Wednesday, but then I’d end up doing it on Thursdays… and it would just continue down the week until it was back on Tuesdays.  So we’ll just pretend, whatever day I actually post these on, is, in fact, Tuesday.  LOL!  I am posting more often though, and that’s what the whole idea is all about.  So here is today’s Tarot Tuesday!

I’ve decided to make Mondays a weekly issue here.  I want to give you the spiritual meaning of some term or object every Monday.  I’ll go over tools, Sabbats, spiritual aspects, Gods/Goddesses, and just about everything else I can think of that you, as a Wiccan, Pagan & Spiritual being, needs to know the meaning of.   I hope you’ll like this weekly article and will come back often.  This is the first one, enjoy!

Dwellers, in the magical sense, are those inner demons that throw obstacles in your path to keep you from moving forward.  Usually you’ll know you’re on the right path by how strong the dwellers are.  If you’re going through hell, and you’re on a path of spirituality, then you’re dwellers will come out in force to try and keep you where you are at.

I just got this feeling to pull a tarot card today.  I’d like to say that I’m going to do this every day, but if you know me, then you know that as soon as I decide to do that, I will never do it again.  So, instead of saying I’m going to do this everyday, I’ll just say I’m going to do it when I feel like it… which may be once a day or maybe once a year.  LOL!  Sorry I can’t be more steadfast and consistent, but I’m really not good at sticking to something for long.  So i hope you’ll enjoy it while it lasts!  hehe Read the rest of this entry »

I changed my store page and added some widgets.  The store is through Amazon, which for now, is the easiest way to add books and other items to my site.  So I hope that you’ll visit it.

The first thing you’ll see, underneath the link to the main store page, is the specials that are available.  It’s four books that are on sale for around 35% off.  I don’t know if those are randomly seleted, so you’ll have to check it out often.

Under that little widget, you’ll see what I consider to be the “Best of the Law of Attraction” & “Books No Pagan Household Should Be Without”.  Most of these books are ones that I personally own and has guided me on my own personal journey.  Some are ones that I would like to own, but haven’t had a chance to purchase them yet, however I do know enough about each of the books to recommend them to you!

Lastly what you will see is a lovely slideshow of different products for your spiritual journey.  Jewelry, altar accessories, herbal products, and much more.  I’ve selected many things that I hope will inspire you and help you along your journey or at least will make your journey a little nicer.

Brightest Blessings

I was asked by someone, to answer the question “Why am I a Christian Witch?” My
first thought was that I am because it fits me. There’s really not much more to
explain than that. After all how do answer the question “Why is a rose a rose?”
You can’t, it just is!
 
But then I let it stew in the back of my mind. I realized that there is a lot
more to it than that. My beliefs aren’t just arbitrary beliefs that I just came
up with on a whim! The beliefs I have today are because of all the learning and
growing I’ve done my entire life. And they will continue to change as I learn
and grow in the coming years.
 
I was raised Christian, but with an extremely open minded ideology. My mother
taught me and my siblings to question everything, including the bible and her,
and figure things out for ourselves. When I was a teen ager, my mother, my
sister and I started learning more about Christianity and other religions and
beliefs.
 
I started reading about using crystals for meditation, and about past lives.
things started clicking and making sense to me. And all of it fit into
Christianity. I never believed in trying to be a perfect person.. I always knew
that you couldn’t fit that mold.. you could try, but being human meant NOT being
perfect. I believed in Jesus, and I knew that this was all that I needed to hold
onto, and I did.
 
So I started exploring more and more into “New Age” stuff. Reading everything I
could get my hands on, practicing the things I found. There was so much that
spoke to my heart and soul. I discovered some books on witchcraft. I devoured
every page. This touched my heart like nothing ever had!
 
Now I realize that everyone talks about how the bible says tons of things
against witchcraft. there are several ways to look at that. One main thing is to
recognize that not everything is supposed to be taken literally. So why start
with witchcraft when there are plenty of other things in the bible that are much
better to take literally. And really if you’re going to take one verse literally
then you have to take it all literally.
 
Another thing most people talk about is the whole commandment of “Do not worship
any other gods before me”. Ok.. first of all, right there God is saying there
ARE other gods!!! OK, so I do ALREADY believe that the Christian “God” is what I
call “The Universe” which is that higher being that has no limits and no gender
and is *ABOVE OTHER GODS*. So I am following that commandment.
 
No, the commandment does not say “do not worship any other Gods but me”, it says
“Before Me”. And THEN the commandments say do not worship “false” gods. Yeah,
that’s like money, drugs, sex, ect. Things that control you that shouldn’t have
control over you… even religion can do that! Which is why you should take
EVERYTHING in moderation!
 
Anyway, the more I learned about witchcraft the more I loved it and felt like I
was coming home to it. I never felt like witchcraft and Christianity were in
opposition. I felt like they combined beautifully, and I still feel that way. So
basically I’m right back where I began this little entry, I *am* a Christian
witch because that’s what fits me.
