Dont mind me

Please do not mind me playing around with my blog. I have no idea what Im doing so its all trial and error. By all means if you have tips let me know.

Self Control

The hardest part of knowing the potential we all have and the ability we share to mold or create the future. The knowledge one gathers of the powers that lay before us is so tempting to use against those who have harmed us. What drives a person to intentionally cause harm to another. Is it the same feelings that dwell deep inside me for the past two days anger, hate, frustration and impotency. 

Yet I have this knowledge which I can use against them. What holds me from doing it? Knowing its wrong, knowing Im not like them, knowing that to harm another they too must be feeling all the emotions I mentioned above. Im perplexed because this persons lives harming others does that mean that they live in a permanent state of hate, frustration and all those negative emotions. 

I was told by a very wise wizard I should help them, I should be nice. I told him that at this moment I am unable to do that as Im using all my energy not to hurt them and take vengeance upon them. I think of the three fold rule, some say its 7 and Ive also read 10. Who knows, I do know what goes around comes around for sure. At this point I know I will not act upon my thoughts, what I would like at this point is to have self control to stop my thoughts from running wild. How do I stop my self from wishing another harm?

I have a beautiful family and life it can get challenging which only makes me be grateful for all the good in life. I do not dare put my happiness in peril or my family in harms way.

My Book of Shadows

I've been working on my Book of Shadows for several years now. I first found the book, as soon as I saw it I new it was meant to be my Book of Shadows. I've actually have worked on a few books.

I have my first Book of Shadows which I began right after I dedicated my self. It was a gardening book which had nice page decorations of the seasons. I still have it and it was wonderful working on it. I also have an internet Book of Shadows composed of printed material I found on the web.

But this is my favorite, it is truly special, as you can see. Each letter has been hand picked and carefully crafted. So far I have the title page as seen in the picture. The Books protection spell, and a couple of pages which are still in the drafting stages.

I have 300 pages in the book and so I have taken the time to draft an outline of the chapters and material I wish to cover in my book. I want to focus on goddesses around the world and Santeria/Orishas, herbs and crystals.

Last night I picked it up for the first time after a full year. It seems that just around the winter time I find the need to work on my book. Not sure why, maybe its because the sun is the farthest from the earth and I can get in tune with the moons energy. Im an Aries so I think that the sun being a male energy and Aries being a male energy might have some influence in me, dont know just a thought.

My four year old helped me glue some decorations, he was so exited. I explained to him that one day this book would be his. Wow, isn't that amazing.

Telepathy

There have been a handful of life experiences, which have shaped my way of thinking. Today I share with you one of those experiences.

It was 1997 the year I graduated from high school, it was towards the end of the year and I had just received my panorama picture. Class days where short and that didn’t matter much because I tended to ditch a bit. That afternoon we decided to go to one of my close friends home with his brother, a friend and my cousin.

There we where sitting in his living room, after smoking some natural healing herbs, when he decides to roll up the panorama picture and hold up to his ear. He smiled at us and said, “you can hear the ocean” as he passed it to my cousin. She too held it to her ear and said, “wow! you can hear the ocean”. I was next, so I held my hand out to get the panorama picture and I too attempted to hold it up to my ear.  However, I was so far gone that I couldn’t find my ear, that of course created lots of laughter between us all. After the laughter settled and I finally found my ear, I too could hear the ocean.

The sound of the ocean took me far away to a place right by the seashore, with waves crashing in some large rocks and I running along the shore in a long white dress, I could see my long beautiful hair blowing in the wind as I jumped over the rocks.

Then I hear my name from a far, Ana, Ana. My cousin and my friend had been calling my name. My cousin asked “what happen, we where calling your name and it was like you where gone”. My friend looks at me and while smiling tells me, “I saw you, I know where you went”. He goes on to describe the exact vision which I have just shared with you down to each and every detail.

It’s been fifteen years sense that event took place, but it is one of those events which one never forgets. I haven’t been able to find reasoning to how or why that happened. I only get to keep that unforgettable memory shared with a friend.

Monsanto

A few years ago I was informed about Monsanto the largest international Multi-corporation in the field of seed production, GMO production and fertilizer. I could not believe what I was being told, they control more then 80% of seed production around the world.

Ever think about seedless fruit? Seedless watermelon, seedless grapes, seedless orange, seedless.....the list goes on. Have you thought of what will happen when you want to grow something your self? This process has been taking place very slowly and most people have not even thought about the questions I present to you today.

Monsanto has its agents in very powerful places, like the US Supreme Court. Justice Clarence Thomas started his career in Monsanto and has ruled in favor of Monsanto in many cases.

If the New World Order is in fact true as I believe it to be, this is just another way of how they will have total control over us. Food!  Can you tell me what would you do to feed you child? Just about anything I'd say.

For some time now I have been extremely upset and afraid of their master plan. I think of an armed revolution, but that makes no sense at all as it will only great more violence and despair. The answer is to create a new reality, we dont fight or waste our energy fighting them, we simply create a new better reality where there is enough food for all, where we all respect our different beliefs.

Where do we start? By growing a garden with food you can eat and herbs to heal your self, your family and friends.

On a Blue Moon

It was a summer night on a blue moon (the second full moon in a month, happens every two to three years. It is said that a blue moon has more power then a regular full moon.)

I was told by a Babalao (an African priest I see) that I should make an offering to Ochun (the goddess of the river) as she takes care of me. Because he knows there aren’t a lot of rivers in LA he sent me to the ocean as all rivers end in the ocean.

I planned it all out, and invited one of my best friend, who is a Christian but has an open mind. I told her to shower before we went and to wear white. We both did that. We planned to drive to Arizona that weekend to have a personal reading with the Babalao, so we drove from LA to San Diego. Stopped on a beach near there.

As we got out of the car and began to walk, I remembered I left my offering (white flowers). I turned back, while my best friend slowed down. As I walked back my friend was about 30 feet ahead of me. As I looked down the path way I saw a lady looking onto the sand the ocean being in from of me, she was looking to the side into the darkness. I remember thinking “what is she looking at, is her family there?”

As I came up to the place where she was at, something inside told me to look, because I had forgotten Well, there was no lady there instead there was a sign with the name of the beach. At that moment I called out my friends name and told her “I just saw a lady standing there”, she turned and said “no way, I did too.”

We told each other what we saw, a lady with long hair in dark blue or black dressing a skirt or long dress.

We went ahead and did all that we where there to do. And left. On our way to Arizona, we could not believe what we had seen and tried to explain it but couldn’t.

I told the babalao about it. He said that was Yemaya (the goddess of the ocean).

And that is the closest story I have to a ghost story. Was it a goddess or ghost? I don’t know.

Feronia

This morning I woke up and began a search to find Feronia, she called my attention right away. Ive always thought we are currently in a process of being enslaved if we havent been already. I believe our human rights are being stripped away from us, hence, the reason I will be a Peoples Lawyer once I pass the BAR. Oh, I havent had a chance to share with you, I received the results of my BAR exam in July 2012 and I was not in the list of names which passed the test. I will be taking the exam again in February 2013. Back to my finding, once an attorney I will be fighting for the freedom of those who have been enslaved by our unjust economic and social system. 

Feronia calls to me for all that she represents. 

Feronia—her name is also sometimes spelled Ferronia– is an ancient, pre-Roman, Italian witch goddess. Ruler of the marketplace—a place traditionally associated with witches—she exerts dominion over magic, freedom, and prosperity. Once upon a time, if slaves managed to sit on a stone in her shrine, their freedom was gained. Feronia’s themes are fertility, abundance, earth, freedom, sports and recreation. Her symbols are fire and coals.  This Roman fire Goddess provides fertility and abundance during even the harshest of times. When boredom sets in, she arrives with arms bearing festive energies and earth’s riches as a ‘pick-me-up’. According to Roman tradition, She is also the patroness and liberator of slaves, or of anything that allegorically enslaves us.

Feronia is to set you free from the chains that bind you. Free from stress, worry, tension, insecurity, doubt, blocked emotion and any other limitations that enslave you and prevent you from achieving your true potential.

Every November 13, the Plebeian games opened in Rome with all manners of sport competitions. This festival also honored the Goddess Feronia and her liberating nature.  Mirroring this theme, get outside and do something physical to release any anger or tension you bear. Give it into Feronia’s care so She can transform it into healthful energy.

Carry a piece of coal today to generate a little of Feronia’s abundance in all your efforts. Keeping this near your stove (or any fire source, like the heater) maintains this Goddess’s energy in your home year-round. If a day comes when you have a really pressing need, burn the coal in Feronia’s liberating flames to release the magic for fast manifestation.

If you find your inner reserves waning with the winter’s darkness, light a candle sometime today to invoke Feronia’s vitality. Better still, light it for a few minutes each day until you feel your energy returning.”

White Magick

Magic is love. All magic should be performed out of love. The moment anger or hatred tinges your magic you have crossed the border into a dangerous world, one that will ultimately consume you. - Scott Cunningham

My Magick wand

I went camping with my family a couple of weekends ago. As we go hiking, biking, camping and fishing when ever we get a chance. On our hikes we take some time to look at rocks, leaves and twigs. Every once in a while I pick up a walking stick to carry with me along the way and my 4year old does the same. There are times I pick up smaller stick to give them a swirl as if to command it to give me a sign, but they never did. Not until our last camping trip, when I picked up a long thin stick and gave it a swirl. I could not believe what I felt it was like a jolt of energy, the hairs in my harm raised and I felt the energy travel my body all at once. So, I tried it again, sure enough it happened again. I quickly told my husband, "I found my magick wand". He turned and ask me what I said so I told him, he responded "really". I handed him my wand and he felt it too. My wand is currently sitting in our alter in the entrance of our apartment. I look at it as I wash the dishes, I wait for a day I will have time to dress it and make it my own. It must be a special day and I must put a lot of thought into the making of it.

One Day at a Time

I have so many ideas going threw my mind. I want a whole line of beauty products made with natural herbs and material. I cant wait to have my site and goods ready for you all. I wish I can leave my 9-5 and do this full time. Im a witch there is not way around it. 

Have been working really hard putting together my website and this blog. Im not computer savvy, so Im learning as I go. But Im really exited to be in a new chapter in my life. In addition to finding out if I passed the BAR Exam in a little over a week. Not, sure Im ready to hear the results. I think thats one of the reasons why Im focusing so hard on my other passions. Then again my creative side comes out during the winter solstice, not sure why. This is also the time I start to work on my Book of Shadows.

The time has come

Its been a while, I know. I have been thinking long and hard about what it is I love to do. The truth of the matter is that I love magick, I love teaching, I love helping others. I want to be free to be able to do all of the above. I have made a decision and that is to dedicate all my free time to freeing my self form a  9-5.
