No feedback
Since im not getting any feedback or followers or anything as much as i was hopeing for i may just have to discontinue this anyway and put it on the backburner.With everything that is going on i just cant keep up with it like i wanted to when i started it.We will see though,i will leave it up for a bit and check it again and decide later.
Been Busy
Sorry i havent posted in a while,my girlfriend and i have taken up another new venture and plan to own our own Pagan buisness and we are making crafts to sell as vendors at Pagan festivals.We are trying to build up enough stock to be ready for Samhain at FPG (Florida Pagan Gathering)So please be patient with me and i will try to squeeze in some time when the muse bug hits me and post again,thank you and Brightest Blessings

Thinking about adding a few more subjects to this future book.
Depending on the amount of contributions i may add Sabbat prayers,affirmations,Wiccaning ideas,handfasting ideas,and passing on prayers and so on.Like i said this book is just in the idea stage right now and depending on participation and whatnot will tell me what is going to be in it.I am going to get some advise and some help on getting this project out there to the public more so i can get more contributions and maybe more ideas.I would like to see this project take off,not only because i myself want to contribute something to the Wiccan/Pagan community but i would like to give others a chance to do the same.I am no proffessional writer by any means and do not plan to make this a career or anything but i always dreamt of having something published so if i could do this one thing it would mean the world to me.I guess there is a very real reason for this and its kind of personal but i will share it with you.I cannot have children,i am resigned to that fact so i will have no family to carry on my name so to speak,although i am in a relationship with the woman that i love and she has a son and i know that thats all that is important i still want to leave something behind when i pass(hopefully a long long long time from now).So if i had a book published,something that would help people of my own path which is so very important to me i would feel happy about that.
I also would like to give others the chance to get their own writtings into a published book too.I always thought how cool it would be to have one of my poems mentioned or used in a magazine article or something or one of my drawings.So im hoping that this will go as i want it to and i look forward to reading your contributions.Thank you

My dream on June 18th 2011
I had a very disturbing dream last night.I used to be a bit of a party animal and to be perfectly honest with my readers i had on occasion(lots)used illegal substances.I can honestly say that i am not using anymore and have not for many years,thank you be to the Gods.Anyway i had this dream that i was doing a lot and in a bad way.I could feel it,touch it,smell it.....and i felt the effects of it even in my dreams and i felt the dissapointment in myself as i did it.I woke up feeling very mad and disturbed for the way this dream made me feel because its been at least 4 years now that i have had one of these dreams and i remember wondering"why am i having this dream all of a sudden now"?
Well i found out a few hours later when my dear friend called to tell me that one of her family members was in the hospital of an overdose and now in stable condition.Without devulging any personal information to you which would be insensitive and rude of me i will just say that i feel because of my closeness with my friend that i was connected in someway with either her or her family member,because the first thing i thought about after thinking this dream over is wanting to have someone to talk to about it or vent about it and i thought of my good friend.Im not sure what the point of it was except for one thing it made me remember how wonderfull life is as a sober,thinking man,enjoying happiness as my drug of choice now.But also on some deeper levels it showed me how i can be connected with the people around me and friends and family and that when you tune into your surroundings our dreams can communicate with us things we need to know or lessons we need to learn and issues we need to deal with to move on.
Anyway i hope this was a good example and im sure even though im not a great writter or anything that you all will have some very good contributions in this area.Everyone has dreams that have some kind of meaning to them.If you want yours to be read send it to me.Let me know if you mind if i put your name to it or not and i will do so or not but again please give permission to use it or do not send it,i only want stuff that im allowed to use.Thank you and Blessed be.

Dreams
Ok so everyone knows basically what poems are and that i want them to be either Wiccan or Pagan in nature.I also posted some examples of prayers.Now dreams are a little more complex to write and post and so on but im looking for anything,dont be afraid of the subject matter even if its disturbing or sex related,were adults and mature and everything is important in dreams.Now the way i want the dreams to be posted are (1)tell the dream(2)give as many details as possible with feelings,colors,images and so on(3)either give your conclusion on what it means to you or what you think it means or if you have already found the answer if this was a dream from in your past and it has already shown its meaning.Please dont just post a dream because you want help figuring it out because if this does get published it would make the book seem kinda funny to post a dream with no conclusion to help other people understand its meaning.Ill try to give an example in my next post.
Mother Earth In A New Light
Ive walked upon your soil for ages without knowing you,you were hidden from me by my own lack of conscience and awareness.Im sorry it took me so long to meet you,but im here now to let you know that i care for you and love you.I walk your ancient path now and see you in a new light.You have always been here but i only have just recently met you.I vow to treat you with the respect you so rightly deserve,and care for you as you care for me,your long distant child.I will cry with you,laugh with you,grow with you,hold you when your hurt,dance with you when your happy,and defend you when you are threatened at all costs.My eyes are open now and i see the magnificent beauty that you create in this world.Im like a child seeing color for the first time and i am amazed and in awe of you.Thank you for being so strong and enduring.Please accept my help and let me nurture you,it is my time to give back to you.With all my heart and love,your Pagan child.
Blessed be.

Angel In Isolation
Angel In Isolation
Why do you keep me here?
Locked inside of yourself,broken and scared......beaten.....ashamed?
Set me free so i can shine.
You hide me from the world,
Afraid to let my love free.
Dont you know that i am needed?
My compassion knows no bounds.
Take the chance,bare your soul,
Let them see your inner peace.
Dont hide,break out of your prison and sing your song loud and clear.
I no longer want to be locked away in this dark,
lonely,empty shell,my spirit forgotten,unshared,
An angel in isolation.
Set me free and live.

Old stuff
Ok so below is some old stuff in my notes section from facebook,sometimes i ramble or get mad at something and ill go on a tangent but then i get better and look at the stuff i wrote in the past and im like .....wow.I still have some things that i have written down on paper or in other places like old computers and such that i will probably put on here to but inbetween that stuff ill probably write in some new stuff too.Ill probably cut and paste stuff that i like too and put it in here but i will always give the credit to who wrote it.I can already see this is going to get messy and ill have to pick and sift thru this stuff to get to the main reason for having this blog which is for material for my book Pagan Poems,Prayers,and Dreams,but thats my problem lol.Im looking at publishing this book lets say within 5-10 years so im in no hurry lol.When it gets done it gets done and if it doesnt well then it gave me something to do in the mean time..
Feeling very thankfull today

Late night thoughts and ramblings.
Late night thoughts and ramblings.
People can say whatever they want about Paganism,Wiccans,Witch's,Spiritualists,Goddess worshipers,tree huggers,earth warriors or whatnot.The undeniable,unmistaken,100%,factual,unquestional truth is the path im on has made me a better man,a better person,a better human being for myself,the people around me,and mother earth.Everyone should be so lucky to have this.I only have one regret and thats that i did not find it earlier,but the important thing is that i found it.Now if you want to relate that as being saved?Then yes i have been saved,not by your Christ which i believe was a good man and do not have any ill feelings about him,not by his followers who are the ones who give him a bad name in my opinion but im sure there are "Good Christians out there....somewhere",but by my own willingness and openess to accept responsibility for myself and change what needed to be changed.To respect and honor the earth,the universe and everything in and on it.To acknowledge everything has balance to it.Light,dark,hot,cold,up,down,and male and female,which is why i pay honor to not only a God but also a Goddess.My actions,rituals,rites and everything i do in this honor has no evil intent and i am not evil,what i do is for the benefit of myself,my friends and loved ones and the earth,which also includes you.
If i were to have one wish,i would wish for everyone who is misinformed,misguided,and ignorant to what a Witch truly is to take the small amount of time it would take and read a book and be open enough to understand our ways,our symbolism,and why it is we do what we do.The only logical outcome of doing this would be that people would say "well theres no harm in that"Which is precisely what being a witch is about....Harming none.
Our path teaches to heal others and the earth,to honor the seasons and what this planet does for us to give all of us a home,to honor the elements to which if we did not have we would not exist.We honor Air,that which gives us the gift of breath,we honor water,that which gives us the gift of growth and keeps our bodies alive,we honor fire,that which gives us the gift of creation and heat,we honor the earth,the most sacred of gifts so that we have a place to live and grow food.We also honor our ancestors to whom our knowledge comes from,we honor a God and Goddess and whatever name is given to them they are there for us.You call him Jesus,we call him Pan,or Cernunnos,or the greenman,or Zues,we call our Goddess more than a thousand names and she answers to each one equally to any man,woman,child,or animal and plant in any country,any culture across time and space.
Some of our ways may be starnge to you,yours are equally starnge to us,but we accept that and respect that,we only want the same in return.I will never change,i will only evolve.I am a Witch,and i am proud of myself for being so.

Personal thoughts on raising children in a Pagan path.
Personal thoughts on raising children in a Pagan path.
I hear people say all the time that"im gonna give my child the freedom to choose their religion on their own"Thats all good and very big of you...really.Its even almost the right thing to say and do.But if you think about it,religion has always been a family matter or passed down thru the family since time began,so bringing your child up Pagan,Wiccan,Witch or what not is a very benefital thing,especially since you know what good comes from it.Think about it in another way.Christians bring there children up Christian because they believe it is the one and only right way right?Why should you not be able to do the same?You believe in your path dont you?Eventually your child will make a decision when old enough to do so anyway,but giving them the knowledge passed down by you will make your child have a better informed decision when that time comes and you can still honor your child by accepting their decision ether way they go right?
I believe you should teach your child your path,and also teach them that there are other paths to chose from if they so chose....thats what were about isnt it?Freedom of choice?Being who we want to be.Can you imagine the positive impact you can have on a child and what they grow into by teaching them your path?Even if they were to chose another religion they would still have the benefit of that upbringing to take with them on their own path.
I say teach them at the earliest age you are able to,do not force them no, but give them the tools to make an informed decision.Be proud of your path and hand that down to your children.Its probably the most important gift you can give to your child.Your setting there own spirituality free.I only wish that i was given this as a child,i know that if i was life wouldnt of had to be so hard.And i would of had the tools to cope with it in a better way than i did.
I would love to have my own children and be able to teach them the joy of Balanced God and Goddess religion.To see my own child raise his or her hands up to the moon in a circle would give me such pride and joy.To hear them utter the words of a Pagan prayer or invocation,or in thanks to the Gods for their blessings just give me goosebumps thinking about it.
Well anyway,i saw this as a discussion and wanted to give my two cents worth on it so here it is lol.

Rambling again
Rambling again
Goddess worship has brought so much......more...into my life than just having a mentality that there is only one god and that he is male,and there are all these rules and crap that limits us and our potential of being true spiritual beings.Is it really that hard to understand that there is balance to EVERYTHING?I mean really?Hot,cold,light,dark,up,downright,left,black,white..........MALE-FEMALE.....ok,this is just MY opinion so dont any of you self ritchious people start getting offended and all,if you dont like it so far.......DONT FUCKIN READ IT.I myself think it is rude to say that there is only one male god that rules all,who made this shit up?Not a woman obviously,and yes this is comming from a man(go figure)No i wont say the old debate lines like (who gave birth to god)and all that,i mean i really just want to understand why someone would give all the power and responsibilty of creation to just one man.Ok (he)so to speak created all of this along with procreation right?Do you think He never tested his own creation?Would a God that could create all of this be a lonely God with no significant other?
I am not knocking the religion of the Christians or any others but im only trying to look at this in a mature,realistic way.....not a zealous,psychotic way.I am actually trying to work out my hate for lack of a better word for the christians and its not really even for the MOST part of the christians of today but of our past and the wrongs that were commited on us (other)people.Im working it out and trying to be a good pagan and having the mentality that all people have a right to their own religion,because i do honestly believe that they do.I guess i just hold a grudge and i know i need to let it go,but honestly my grudge gives me comfort right now.it helps me understand that the crimes of the past were wrong and horrible and im sure everyone goes thru this at some point and then gets over it but i myself have a strong tie to our Pagan ancestors and well i guess everyone takes on a certain view of something wether it be the Jewish Hollocaust,The IRA,war,or whatnot,my thing is the Burning Times and i am very passionate about it.Its like the people of color fighting for their equal rights,or women for theirs,my fight is albeit different but it is real and important to me.
In my perfect world or fantasty i see streets like in the old days of greece or something where the streets are lined with temples to all different types of gods and goddesses.I mean wouldnt it be so cool to be walking down this street with a friend talking and say ok,this is my stop,the temple of Aradia,ill meet you at the town square when im done with my devotions and your done at the temple of Isis and then we can go get a coffee together.ok i know its funny but hey....i daydream a lot lol.Anyway,i guess i started out talking about Goddess worship tho so i will try to get back on track here.It has opened up in me so much more and taught me so much more about myself and what im capable of doing and being.Im so much more better than i was,i look at the world differently and feel more at peace with myself and who i am.Im not afraid of showing compassion because it is not weakness but love for others that make this world a better place and the sooner everyone realizes this the better off we will be and our mother earth will be.I know a lot of people look at Pagans..I.E. (tree huggers,earth warriors and excentric wierdos)as being ....wel wierd ,and to be honest i used to be the same,i used to look at people like this as being wackos and like something was wrong with them.Im glad i do not anymore,i am one of those wackos.But honestly i am the same person i ever was.....just better.I still wear jeans and a t-shirt,smoke,and eat pizza and cuss up a storm and all of that.To look at me and talk to me you would not guess that i am one of these people who call themselves witches,or pagans,or wiccan,but i am.I am so much that i am a High Priest in my coven and my religion or path is the most singular important part of my life.It keeps me pure of heart,it keeps me sober,it makes me a better person to all even to myself.
I mean what is really so wierd about wanting to take care of this planet we live on?Do you clean and take care of your home?What is so bad about taking care of people who are sick and doing rituals to help people and spells that help people?Isnt it the same as wishing somebody well?The witches of old were prosicuted and put to death for healing people with medicines made from the earth.Most all of our medicines today are made from plants and minerals.Shouldnt that make somebody say hm i guess we were wrong,dont we owe somebody a very big apology?I personaly would like to see the Pope get on his big old gold encrusted chair in front of the world and say that the christians are sorry and that they were wrong.Will this ever happen?No,are you kidding me?They are good christians but not that good.lol.theres as good a chance of that happening as there is me sitting down to smoke a crack pipe with that guy Jesus they talk so much about.
Ok i do understand that some of our words or saying might sound a little darkside to some,i admit that i thought so at once to............untill i read and learnt about it,lol yes i actually picked up some books and read on the subject to be a more informed human being on the subject.Now if the rest of the world could do this we wouldnt have so many fuckin problems.I mean yes.........witchcraft and witches,and rituals and pentagrams and all that sounds so sinister,but most people dont realize that Witchs were the wise people and leaders of communities and the conscience and advisers of kings,and witchcraft only means that what a witch does,it is her or his craft,and rituals are no more sinister than going to church to honor your God and our Pentagram is just a symbol like your cross is,no it is not a satanic thing,witches do not believe in satan and or doing harm to anyone or anything,that is why there is no such thing as a satanic witch,witches do not recognise this thing.Satanists are just that...satanists,not witches.Now dont get this next part all wrong,i am not bashing you but the honest truth is the christians and hollywood are the ones who made us into this satanic devil worshipping lie,its not bashing its just the truth of our historic past.Ok people were simpler and stupid back then,i get it but these are modern times and people should be more smarter than that now,i would hope but honestly they are not.So my description of a "good Christian"and the ones who i call my friends and can accept are the ones who can understand this.And yes there are a few of them that i have met who can do this,and these are the christians that i can respect.Now there are some people(pagans)who get on me about christian bashing.I dont do it as a religious zealot or like im a hate monger or something,but yes i do talk my shit about them from time to time and i know its probably something i should not do being a high priest and all,but you need to understand that i am not trying to cause hate and discontent,i am only making some points clear and yes i do like the little bumper stickers and jokes because its funny to me and to all pagans,thats why we have them,its humorous,and im sorry if it gets under your skin but if it does ,like i said dont read it,i will not change anytime soon,i may change somewhere down the road but like i said im comfortable in my skin as a Wiccan High Priest and most people who really know me understand who i am and what is in my heart.I made no pretense of being something different than what i am so if you do not like it this is your problem not mine.When i am in circle as my role dictates i am a good teacher i think and my views on this does not spill over into my coven,because that is not the place for it and i know this and respect it.but in my personal life be it here on facebook,or talking with friends on my personal time i will speak my mind openly because i am open minded and openly Wiccan and i am outspoken and passionate about my beliefs and i do not say things just to spout hate,if i say something,its pretty much a historic fact,such as paganism has been here longer,or christians stole our holidays to bring more pagans into the churchs,or turned our gods into the christian devils....................things like that are not just bullshit,they are facts and any christian priest worth the collar he wears will admit to that and there are those who will.So please dont have any delusions on changing me or my views or where or who i talk to about this because you will only succeed in losing my friendship.I dont pretend to be the best Pagan/Wiccan man but i am a good one and those who know me know that im not going to get on a roof with an Ak-47 and start guning down christians,the most i will do is throw up a warding sign or maybe flip them off lol.You also need to understand that i have a wicked sense of humor and i can use it like a ninja uses numchucks.So from now on if you see me post something like a friggin jesus dude holding up the middle finger or a pagan saying making fun of the christians,take it in stride and try to laugh,life doesnt always have to be so serious that we cant laugh at ourselves and if your sense of humor is not developed enough to handle it then keep your comments to yourself and off my page becaue you will only succeed in gettin deleted,and then i will talk shit about you anyway lol.I mean really,i have some pretty hard core christian friends on here who laugh there ass off at some of the things i say and they know not to take it personal(here i would like to say thank you to Amber-you know who you are and i love you so very much because you are an exceptional human being.....muah).Its people like this and my very own High priestess that i have mad respect for.Its people that come on here and say .....oh could you please not say those things because it offends me?That really pisses me off and gets under my skin honestly and just makes me want to do it more and pointedly to offend them further.This is my page,my view and my life and it offends you then go away,dont read it or work it out yourself,or hate me and dislike me or whatever .....i dont care,block me or whatever your dislike for me is not going to change the way i talk,the way i believe or what i do and where i do it,you came into my life by chance and you can get out of my life even quicker and easier.
that being said i just want to say love and light ,brightest blessings,and may the goddess hold you ever safe in her loving embrace,and to all you christians.......um........peace......i love your misguided people too lol
I am not knocking the religion of the Christians or any others but im only trying to look at this in a mature,realistic way.....not a zealous,psychotic way.I am actually trying to work out my hate for lack of a better word for the christians and its not really even for the MOST part of the christians of today but of our past and the wrongs that were commited on us (other)people.Im working it out and trying to be a good pagan and having the mentality that all people have a right to their own religion,because i do honestly believe that they do.I guess i just hold a grudge and i know i need to let it go,but honestly my grudge gives me comfort right now.it helps me understand that the crimes of the past were wrong and horrible and im sure everyone goes thru this at some point and then gets over it but i myself have a strong tie to our Pagan ancestors and well i guess everyone takes on a certain view of something wether it be the Jewish Hollocaust,The IRA,war,or whatnot,my thing is the Burning Times and i am very passionate about it.Its like the people of color fighting for their equal rights,or women for theirs,my fight is albeit different but it is real and important to me.

(tree huggers,earth warriors and excentric wierdos)as being ....wel wierd ,and to be honest i used to be the same,i used to look at people like this as being wackos and like something was wrong with them.Im glad i do not anymore,i am one of those wackos.But honestly i am the same person i ever was.....just better.I still wear jeans and a t-shirt,smoke,and eat pizza and cuss up a storm and all of that.To look at me and talk to me you would not guess that i am one of these people who call themselves witches,or pagans,or wiccan,but i am.I am so much that i am a High Priest in my coven and my religion or path is the most singular important part of my life.It keeps me pure of heart,it keeps me sober,it makes me a better person to all even to myself.
I mean what is really so wierd about wanting to take care of this planet we live on?Do you clean and take care of your home?What is so bad about taking care of people who are sick and doing rituals to help people and spells that help people?Isnt it the same as wishing somebody well?The witches of old were prosicuted and put to death for healing people with medicines made from the earth.Most all of our medicines today are made from plants and minerals.Shouldnt that make somebody say hm i guess we were wrong,dont we owe somebody a very big apology?I personaly would like to see the Pope get on his big old gold encrusted chair in front of the world and say that the christians are sorry and that they were wrong.Will this ever happen?No,are you kidding me?They are good christians but not that good.lol.theres as good a chance of that happening as there is me sitting down to smoke a crack pipe with that guy Jesus they talk so much about.
Ok i do understand that some of our words or saying might sound a little darkside to some,i admit that i thought so at once to............untill i read and learnt about it,lol yes i actually picked up some books and read on the subject to be a more informed human being on the subject.Now if the rest of the world could do this we wouldnt have so many fuckin problems.I mean yes.........witchcraft and witches,and rituals and pentagrams and all that sounds so sinister,but most people dont realize that Witchs were the wise people and leaders of communities and the conscience and advisers of kings,and witchcraft only means that what a witch does,it is her or his craft,and rituals are no more sinister than going to church to honor your God and our Pentagram is just a symbol like your cross is,no it is not a satanic thing,witches do not believe in satan and or doing harm to anyone or anything,that is why there is no such thing as a satanic witch,witches do not recognise this thing.Satanists are just that...satanists,not witches.Now dont get this next part all wrong,i am not bashing you but the honest truth is the christians and hollywood are the ones who made us into this satanic devil worshipping lie,its not bashing its just the truth of our historic past.Ok people were simpler and stupid back then,i get it but these are modern times and people should be more smarter than that now,i would hope but honestly they are not.So my description of a "good Christian"and the ones who i call my friends and can accept are the ones who can understand this.And yes there are a few of them that i have met who can do this,and these are the christians that i can respect.Now there are some people(pagans)who get on me about christian bashing.I dont do it as a religious zealot or like im a hate monger or something,but yes i do talk my shit about them from time to time and i know its probably something i should not do being a high priest and all,but you need to understand that i am not trying to cause hate and discontent,i am only making some points clear and yes i do like the little bumper stickers and jokes because its funny to me and to all pagans,thats why we have them,its humorous,and im sorry if it gets under your skin but if it does ,like i said dont read it,i will not change anytime soon,i may change somewhere down the road but like i said im comfortable in my skin as a Wiccan High Priest and most people who really know me understand who i am and what is in my heart.I made no pretense of being something different than what i am so if you do not like it this is your problem not mine.When i am in circle as my role dictates i am a good teacher i think and my views on this does not spill over into my coven,because that is not the place for it and i know this and respect it.but in my personal life be it here on facebook,or talking with friends on my personal time i will speak my mind openly because i am open minded and openly Wiccan and i am outspoken and passionate about my beliefs and i do not say things just to spout hate,if i say something,its pretty much a historic fact,such as paganism has been here longer,or christians stole our holidays to bring more pagans into the churchs,or turned our gods into the christian devils....................things like that are not just bullshit,they are facts and any christian priest worth the collar he wears will admit to that and there are those who will.So please dont have any delusions on changing me or my views or where or who i talk to about this because you will only succeed in losing my friendship.I dont pretend to be the best Pagan/Wiccan man but i am a good one and those who know me know that im not going to get on a roof with an Ak-47 and start guning down christians,the most i will do is throw up a warding sign or maybe flip them off lol.You also need to understand that i have a wicked sense of humor and i can use it like a ninja uses numchucks.So from now on if you see me post something like a friggin jesus dude holding up the middle finger or a pagan saying making fun of the christians,take it in stride and try to laugh,life doesnt always have to be so serious that we cant laugh at ourselves and if your sense of humor is not developed enough to handle it then keep your comments to yourself and off my page becaue you will only succeed in gettin deleted,and then i will talk shit about you anyway lol.I mean really,i have some pretty hard core christian friends on here who laugh there ass off at some of the things i say and they know not to take it personal(here i would like to say thank you to Amber-you know who you are and i love you so very much because you are an exceptional human being.....muah).Its people like this and my very own High priestess that i have mad respect for.Its people that come on here and say .....oh could you please not say those things because it offends me?That really pisses me off and gets under my skin honestly and just makes me want to do it more and pointedly to offend them further.This is my page,my view and my life and it offends you then go away,dont read it or work it out yourself,or hate me and dislike me or whatever .....i dont care,block me or whatever your dislike for me is not going to change the way i talk,the way i believe or what i do and where i do it,you came into my life by chance and you can get out of my life even quicker and easier.
that being said i just want to say love and light ,brightest blessings,and may the goddess hold you ever safe in her loving embrace,and to all you christians.......um........peace......i love your misguided people too lol
Pathways and magick.......just thinking out loud and rambling.
Pathways and magick.......just thinking out loud and rambling.
Although i may not be able to walk my path the way our ancestors did,i do walk my path according to our ancestors messege to us.These modern times makes that path a little bit harder to see but it is there.I know this because i am there.I am a witch in the truest sense of the word.I am Pagan,i am a spiritual being,and i am Wicca.Im a child of both the God and the Goddess in balance with all.My bible is not a book but an organ protected in my chest,it is my heart.These things i hold sacred-The elements that which we would not have would be the end of all life,nature that teaches us the truest lessons of life,the spirit within me,love and compassion for all things in the cosmos,the magick which is life and more real than is comprehensible to man,and the Gods and Goddesses who make all this possible.
My path is one of selfishness,i am selfish in wanting peace and love for all things.I am selfish for wanting a world for us to live in harmony with each other,i am selfish for wanting my own life to be one of happiness and good fortune.I am selfish for wanting you to be happy.I am selfish for wanting all people to see and feel what i feel so that they might understand the Joy that is being on this path or similar paths.
Yes these modern times have made our vision impaired but if you search hard enough you can find it.If i can find it anyone can find it.I have not always been on this path,but i was on one that lead to it as we all are.If only you could glimps or get a taste of what i feel i know you would see things differently.Years ago i would of looked at you like you were a nutcase if you told me this,i swear i would of.Now the people who i would of looked at crazy are my best friends.
I see things in a different perspective now and my life has changed dramatically.No longer is love and compassion words that stick on my tongue like poison but i use these words freely and openly.I do not just pay lip service to words like honor,respect,loyalty,love,compassion,and empathy.I live and breath them and they are a part of my very existance.If i did not have these things in my life i would not truly live.Without these things i am just a lonely shell of a man.I may not be loved by all but i do love all and thats where my power comes from.Love,the most powerfull magick in the universe.
How could one not believe in magick?Magick is life,it is birth,it is also death and renewal,it is nature or shall i say natural?It is the earth that gives us life and the planets that surround us,all the little things that come together that make life possible.If that is not magick i dont know what is.
Take the time to observe the magick of life,i dont mean to just think on it and move on but really ponder the essence of it and if you do this you will see what i mean about magick.Water,air,fire and earth is Magickal,take one of these things away and you do not exist....Literally.Now think of all the little things that makes these elements possible.Whatever you believe made these things possible.....a creator....a big bang theory......the right circumstances whatever it is is magick.People hear the word magick and instantly think of smoke and lightning and shimmering spells and things appearing out of thin air but that is not what magick means to me or anyone who knows the joy of the Pagan life.Magick is LIFE.Look at it this way and every parent will agree.Magick is certain ingrediants coming together to bring something into existance such as a man and a woman joining in union together creating a baby.......is that not magickal?
Magick is real and has so many different forms,magick is science that just hasnt been explained yet.Magick is in every single person on this planet,and in every thing on this planet.You are just so used to it that you dont see it as magick,its taken for granted.Magick is in how someone created a microwave to cook food,or a car to drive,or a house to live in and shelter us,its in the weather and storms and destructive energies that change our world and form it and reform it.Its funny that you can say magick is in the destructive energies but its true.Earthquakes are destructive but over the eons they have formed our planet,fire is destructive but it also allows us to create as in metals that give us so many things that we use today.I guess its all in how you look at it and therein lies magick again.Lol
Or look at it this way,magick is in the power of healing.Ages ago women were burned and put to death for putting herbs together to make things that would heal someone.Nowadays the greatest amount of our medicines are made from herbs and its just part of life now.Dont take this the wrong way but shouldnt that alone be grounds enough for apologies from the church to all the wrongs commited in the name of Christianity?Im not bashing them so dont take me wrong but really.I wont go into the whole Christian thing,this is not about that at all.Its about ignorance and misconception to be honest.
Misconception is a Pagans enemy,and if people would take the time,i mean really take the time to understand the whats and whys of what we do then we would not have the problems we do now.I mean paganism is really truly the most gentle religion in the world.We are all about caring for the earth and nature and healing and preserving and happiness and joy andlove.Its just crazy the way people fear and judge us.It makes me insane to think that people really think that we are evil and satan worshippers and all that nonsense crap.If i wasnt Pagan i would slap these peple lol (thats suppose to be funny by the way)lol.

So im thinking that i might go through some of the stuff ive written in the past and post it up here so i can have it all in one spot and then ill start working on new posts and such after that but please feel free to post your stuff here and remember to leave consent to use it with your full name.Pretty much if your posting it on my blog im going to take it as you are already giving me consent since i dont want anything on here that i am not allowed to use anyway.Please keep the subject matter to poems,prayers and dreams though unless your commenting on a random post that i made.Thank you and brightest blessings.
My conversation with Aradia todayby Kanefer on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 3:40pm
by Randy Olynick on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at 11:59am ·
ok so my day started out rough,so i says to myself"self,what can i do?"I got an answer,yes i did.Self said "talk to the one who is always with you and loves you enough to help you through anything".So im like "Hey self,your pretty smart,ill do that".So i sit outside and begin to talk to my Goddess Aradia,guess what?She answered on the first ring.She said "Hi my little one,im here for you,talk to me and confide in me,i will hear you".So i told her im having a bad day,one of those days where everything you touch seems to fall apart and i dont know what to do except to call on you my loving Goddess,can you help?She said(yep she said this)I can help you help yourself.I was like huh?She then said"Write to me,no not email silly,write to me".Im like jeese im already talking to you my lady wont writting make this process take longer?She said "trust in me"Well of course i trust you,your my Loving,caring,gentle,nurturing friend so i will trust in you and write you,even tho my handwritting may be sloppy.And yep you guessed it she answered me again and said"your handwritting will be fine, ill understand it because it comes from your heart straight to me by a special means of transportation.Im like wow thats so cool.So i get a pen and begin to write and this is what i got.
A Prayer To Relieve Stress
Dearest Lady,My beacon of light
Queen of witches ever so bright
My day evolves slowly into stress
Maybe because of a bad nights rest
I ask of you on this day
To help me along my way
And see to it that my stress departs
With your vast array of magickal arts
My day begins ill without warning
But your prescence in me is calm and warming
I feel my woes lift when i think of you
And my day changes as if anew
Thank you my Lady for being here
Every second,every day,throughout the year
Im filled now with joy thinking of you
My nightmares replaced with dreams of you
Fair thee well upon your way
We will talk again throughout the day
My stress is gone and put to rest
Your love fills me within my breast.
I then looked up in amazment,She was right and i could trust her,when i was finished writting to Her i felt better.Thank you my Loving Aradia,your the bestest.Guess what?She answered again,i was like wow shes really talkative today.She said"I have my bad days too,but when i have them things happen like earthquakes,volcanos erupt,and these big old waves and such.So me being curious i ask"well what does a Goddess do to get rid of Her stress?And She said,"well my little one i think of you,and the love that you give me and tears of happiness fill my eyes and you can see it in the rains upon the earth.I was like oh that is so cool,then i looked at her and said"I love you.Guess what?yup she answered again too and said "I love you too.

Comfort In The Arms Of The Goddess
This is my first entry in my new blog and it is a poem i wrote quite a while ago,i had in mind a version of the Christian prayer"Now i lay me down to sleep".
Comfort In The Arms Of The Goddess
Blessed be,the loved ones ive known
Blessed be,the wonders ive been shown
All my troubles layed to rest
Place the star upon my breast
Blessed be,the knowledge ive learned
Blessed be,the wisom ive earned
Happily do i leave this realm
Burry me under a majestic elm
Blessed be,my sister and brother
Blessed be,my beautifull lover
No fear,or hate in my heart
Do i this world as i depart
May my life be celebrated
May the tears be ebated
No regrets do i hath
I found solice in my path
No request do i demand
Only take me to the Summerland
Where i may rest and renew
Among my kind and forest dew
A place of love so pure and sublime
Where Wiccan spirits dwell and shine
Only there shall i possess
Comfort in the arms of the Goddess
