The Energetic Home

The Energetic Home


“And what is a man without energy? Nothing – nothing at all.” ~ Mark Twain

“Energy and persistence alter all things.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

If the home is a place where we can feel safe to draw the shades, put on some music and dance around in our pyjamas, then surely it is also a place where we can pull down the shades, put on a drumming CD, and dance ourselves into a trance.

A home is filled with energy, from people to pets to sentimental objects, from spirits of the land, to plants and trees, household spirits, the odd god peeking in and ancestors watching out for us, the home is fairly bursting with activity on all planes!

The two best places for any witch to practice connecting with the energies and spirits of the universe are in the wild, and in the home. In the wild we are taken out of our comfort zone and immersed in nature and the wild, surrounded by the spirits of the land. Home is our comfort zone, and here we are surrounded by the energies and spirits we spend most of our time with.

Before a witch can hope… Continue reading

Its That Time Again

My life operates in cycles. Surprising right? heh

This week has been a tough cycle, not horrible and shattering, just stressful and tiring and tough.

And now the Moon is full, and you know what that means my dear female pagan readers … I hate cramps and headaches.

To make it up to you, here are some quotes. Quotes are fun.


Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. ~ Anon


Black magic operates most effectively in preconscious, marginal areas. Casual curses are the most effective. ~ William S. Burroughs


Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche


Conceptualizing reality is pointless, as its all a matter of perception, which is based on the knowledge and experience of an individual. For example, I will probably totally disagree with myself tomorrow. ~ Juniper of Walking the Hedge


We ought not to treat living creatures like shoes or household belongings, which when worn with use we throw away. ~ Plutarch


There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his ~ Helen Keller


We can welcome responsibility

Scattered

I lay scattered in the abyss
The creatures I had trusted
tore me apart and left me in this mess
The shock and horror of their betrayal
Is now forgotten
As I contemplate the blackness
And the fact that though torn asunder
I am still capable of self and thought
I realize that in these pieces
I cannot be more than self and thought
I begin to cry, then to beg
A figure beyond the black looms
And offers me a deal…

The Moon is Back Tonight


The moon is back tonight
I say
To a beagle named Lacey
Who races out ahead of my sled and I
As if in perfect agreement

In a crisp and clear winter-y night
A thin silver sickle illuminates the sky
The snows down below
Where I’m walking you know
Glow in a soft pearlescent white

My little hound, my blue sled and I
Raise a hand and a snout and give a shout out to
The hunter and the bull upon southern skies
The stars and the moon hang low and close
When walking upon my mountainside

The glow is so clear and so bright
I do not bother with my flashlight
From her journey around the Earth
Silver moon once again returns
And acts as my guide

In the cold and the snow I cannot help but to smile
And decide to go with the feeling
It can be rather difficult, you know
To dance in the moonlight
When pulling a loaded blue sled
In new moon light
