A Witch’s Trials and Tribulations

Tips for Other Idiots

Learned (again – because I had forgotten the last time) that incense cones and candles don’t mix. As in don’t sit an incense cone on top of a burning candle. It will create a fire big enough to cook over.

“A wise man must be wise before, not after.”

-Epicharmus, Sicilian Greek comic poet

 

. . . I said after Bathroom Fire #1,
Kitchen Fire #s 2 and 3,
and various other magickal feats of excellence.

 

Rainy Car Windows

Sitting in my car before work.

The word “CARE” has the word “car” embedded in it.

Interesting.

Life looks different when seen through the lens of a rainy dropleted window-shield.

When a tree like this is framed within a photograph, it becomes all that is.

Life becomes beautiful.

What if – we could train our eyes to do what a camera lens does?

Walnut

This day, this moment, I am doing nothing but sitting outside under the walnut tree, relaxing.

This is my view.

This is all that I am, in this moment.

Flowers

When at last I took the time to look into the heart of a flower, it opened up a whole new world; a world where every country walk would be an adventure, where every garden would become an enchanted one.”

-Grace Kelly, actress/ Princess of Monaco

Flowers – one of the closest beings to Creative Source, Eckhart Tollet says in his book The New Earth.

Extraterrestrial

Lonely extraterrestrial
Leans her head against the tree
Thinks of all she is
All she’s yet to be

Cold choices, colder fates
I feel I wasn’t consulted!
“In the beginning . . . “
In the beginning, WHAT

When we sat. Can’t this be halted?
Stalled?

We’ve had this discussion before
Says the tree, basking

Silent in its solitude
Decades ago, remember asking?

“Who am I?” Who do I want to be?
And now you know. Yes, I know.
Not just what they want to see
But Me and All of Me.

Lonely extraterrestrial
Feels ground beneath her seat
Wonders if it’s worth it
These planetary feats

These promises she’s tendered
“Til Death do we part”
This lifelong commitment
That excludes her heart

Lonely extraterrestrial
Looks outward to the sky
To the stars feels the wind
Whispers . . .

. . . Goodbye.

Each of us has the power to shift and realign with the heart,
as we let go, forgive, ask for forgiveness,
and move through our collective grief
to our seat of personal power within the heart of love.”

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
-John 1:1-3

A Study in Verticals

(whichever sounds more impressive)

Saw 2017 final

 

“I’m cutting tree branches off to build my log cabin” he says matter-of-factly.

“With my saw.”

I was alarmed, a bit.

Especially when he kept referring to his “saw” that Daddy gave him,
or that he found in the garage, I can’t even remember how it went now.

Until I saw what he was talking about.

(Not the one in the back.)
