Witch


~ The 21st Century Witch ~


Standing in her kitchen, she ponders her life
Her never ending job as a mother and wife
She thinks back to the days of Olde
And how the witches lived as the stories are told
So much has changed throughout all these years
Fear for their lives replaced with new fears
Do we let it slip at work of the path that we follow?
And face friendships replaced by words that are hollow?
She stirs a pot that’s simmering on the stove
Thinking back again to her ancestors in groves
Gone are the cauldrons and cast iron pots
Replaced by microwaves and thousands of watts
Gone are the secret circles under the trees
Replaced by online covens and groups with fees
Gone are the herbal remedies prepared with love and care
Replaced by drugstores selling remedies by the pair
When she thinks of what’s been lost, her heart grows heavy with grief
But before her heart breaks she remembers one detail with relief
The witches of Olde and their way that was wise
Are not gone completely or buried with lies
The greatest lesson they taught and passed down through the ages
Was to hold inside the wisdom and safeguard the sages
They taught us to blend in and adapt to the times
So that we may survive, grow and pass along their rhymes
So while she may not use a pot made of iron or stir with a branch from a tree
She takes pride in the knowledge that a witch she is now and will always be!

Faeries


She sees faeries
And talks to her herb garden.
And everyone laughs.
She feels colors,
And says there is magic in the moon.
And everyone laughs.

She never hurts anyone
And loves her oak tree like a child.
And everyone laughs.
She always helps a stranger
And the neighborhood strays adore her
And everyone laughs.

She sits and cries
And mumbles to the shadows,
And no one cares.
Once her hair was long and bright,
Now it is a matted mess
And no one cares.

She used to dance among the trees,
Now she can't find them
And no one cares.

Dreams of magic fill her days;
Magic she can almost touch.
And no one cares.

The day she died her herbs did, too.
And her oak tree bowed its limbs.
A single candle burned in her window
With naught there but the cats.
And no one understands...

Candles


The Gazing Technique

This is to be done when going to bed. You need something to focus on; if it is in view the moon, the stars, a crystal, a favorite doll will work well... Use whatever you like.

Just not a Candle or anything that burns!

This method involves the body falling asleep, and you should never leave anything that burns unattended. I usually use my crystal ball for this. 

Place the object within your view and lie down in your bed. Just stare at the object as you doze off. The first few times may be frustrating. You may just fall asleep and that's it. But after a few tries, this worked for me.

Keep staring at the object. As your eyelids become heavy, keep staring. Eventually your eyes will close, but you will still be able to see the object. You will still be staring at the object. Sit up or stand up, and don't be surprised to see your physical body sleeping peacefully in your bed!

This works fairly well for me. When you are out of your body, do whatever you wish. I am still getting used to the out of body feeling (I achieved my first one only a month ago ), so I have not travelled any farther than the roof of our apartment building yet.

This time is yours. Just tell people that you are attempting this and don't wish to be disturbed.

Change your luck



Nutmeg Bath to change Your Luck-

You will need:

6 tsp. ground Nutmeg1 cup warm waterCoffee filter

Place the nutmeg in the coffee filter. Pour one cup of warm water into the coffee filter and let the tea brew. When the liquid is cool, run a warm bath and pour the tea in the bath water. Soak at least ten minutes. This bath will cleanse the aura and dispel any negativity.

Dream Catcher


"According to Native Americans, dreams that humans have while they sleep, are sent by sacred spirits as messages. According to their Legend, in the center of the Dream Catcher there is a hole. Good dreams are permitted to reach the sleeper through this hole in the web. As for the bad dreams, the web traps them and they disappear at dawn with the first light. For some, they try to determine what messages are being past onto them and what the message represents. 

The Dream Catcher represents several meanings. All of the decorations and materials used to decorate them, all have a special meaning. A single bead in the middle may represent the spider that is on the web. Scattered beads throughout the web may represent good dreams that may have been caught throughout the night. A feather represents a symbol of breath or air which is attached so it hangs from the center of the ring. It is essential for life. A baby watching the air playing with the feather on her cradleboard was entertained while also being given a lesson on the importance of good air. 

This lesson comes forward in the way that the feather of the Owl is kept for wisdom (a woman's feather); & the Eagle feather is kept for courage (a man's feather). This is not to say that the use of each is restricted by gender; but that to use the feather each is aware of the gender properties she/he is invoking. (Indian people, in general, are very specific about gender roles and identity.) 

The use of gem stones, in some of the ones we make for sale, is not something that was done by the old ones. Government laws forbid the sale of feathers from our sacred birds. These include ALL Birds of Prey and include Hawk feathers, Bald Eagle feathers, Owl feather, Turkey Vulture feathers, and so on. Incorporating four gem stones into the Dream Catcher, is used to represent the four directions. Nature represents the spiritual inspiration in each. 

When researching the long traditions of oral histories, storytelling has been passed down through the generations; from parent to child, grandparent to grandchild, or from one person to another. This is how the message continues to be passed on to future generations." - what a dream catcher is copied and pasted from History of the Dream Catchers, you can find more about it by going to the link that I will include as my source.
