A Journey into Tarot
So, I tried out my new made cards last night and this morning. All I have to say is amazing stuff. Last night I asked about my future in my current job, anyone who knows me knows that the days are definitely numbered. Not only did the cards confirm what I already know has been happening, they also told me what I knew the future was going to be. And, in addition, they told me about how my future holds something new. I am going to be changing directions in my norm and it was going to finally find success in my new endeavor. Yay! Makes me happy. This morning I asked about my possible job at the University where I will be attending starting in the fall and they told me that I already know where I am going, I just need to make it happen. I am so excited!!! Yay! Thank you all who are supporting and helping me. My friends both local and on here and especially my children and my mom. I love you all.

Bringing creativity into the picture
Ok, so I am reading everything I can find and I really wanted to try the tarot. I have been talking to my wonderful new friends and reading books, websites, and posts by other witches and I decided that rather then buy the Rider-Waite Tarot cards, I was going to make them. I found printable cards online and used most of my ink printing them in a size of about 4x2 (I didn't measure). They were printing on card stock but I didn't feel that they would thick enough to be durable. As my first deck, I want them to last forever. So, I went shopping before school/work this morning. I found sticky designer cards for card making. A little bit coincidental? hee hee. Now I have the most decorative Tarot cards to be found anywhere. They are so cool...

Peace, Tranquility, and Power
Last night I cast a spell for help in my own home. It was amazing. I was able to focus, meditate, and the feeling, the spiritual connection I felt was the most amazing thing. While I was gazing into the fire, concentrating on my spell, my desire, my need, I could feel the peace enter me, fill my body. I could feel my sense of spirit and fulfillment. I felt like all of this energy had entered me and was moving throughout every part of me. I have never felt anything like it. I sat very still not wanting it to end. I wish there was a way to describe what I felt and make someone else understand. I have found my calling, my place in this world and i want to share it with everyone. All who read this, I hope you find a way to feel this feeling in yourself.
Peace, love and happiness to all.

Dreaming of a time when...
Dreaming of a time when I can be who I am and that's ok.
Dreaming of a time when I can look at someone and know that what I can do will help them.
Dreaming of a time when I get ready for bed at night and know that all is well with all of mine.
Dreaming of a time when I wake up on a sunshiny morning and know that on this day I am going to make a difference in someone's life.
Dreaming of a time when I have the ability to know something is coming and that I can do something about it.
Dreaming of a time when I am content in my own skin.
Dreaming of a time when I I no longer have to worry about silly things like money and bills.
Dreaming of a time when I can work in my garden, play with my animals, and invite my grand-kids (which I don't really have yet) over for dinner.
Dreaming of a time when I can dream a dream, cast a spell, and get my wish.
Dreaming of a time when all is right in the world.

Full Moon
I am so excited. We have a full moon tonight. I wish that I was ready to cast a circle but I'm not. I am enjoying the evening though and I will be ready for the next one. And, the weather should be warmed then this one and maybe I can do it outside. Yay!!! Love it!

Petition Spell
Moon at the North Pole
During my studies, I have met several very helpful and kind hearted people on facebook. In discussions I learned about a petition spell and was excited to try it. Last night before I went to bed, I performed one to help relieve the stress and negativity at work. I lit my two candles, one white and one blue for happiness, good luck, and all of the normal good things to happens stuff. Then I prepared and etched a white candle with three runes, difficulties now, please bring happiness, calmness and happiness in my classroom. While visualizing the results of the spell, I wrote a note on a piece of parchment stating what the spell is for. I placed it under the candle and lit the candle, all of the time visualizing and and emanating what I want from the spell. i said a little chant and concentrated hard on my visualization until the candle burned completely out. When this was finished I burned the parchment and blew it into the wind, and we had big wind last night, and noted the spell finished so mote it be. Today, for the first time, our principal actually came into my class when called and after asking me what to do, helped me with two students who were boarder line fighting. It was amazing and hopefully broke the tension between us.
I think I have a flowing closing of the day blessing that I can remember and not stumble over. I have researched several different things in an effort to help me sleep, which without medication, I do not. I work on meditation every night before bed and then give a days closing helping to quiet my mind and body and prepare myself for sleep. At this point, I am still taking my sleeping pills but am practicing the relaxation and meditation. I will practice without my meds, at first, on nights that I don't have to go to work the next day. I couldn't handle my students without sleep and I know this of myself. Me without sleep is not a pretty thing.
I spoke with Jaime today. He wants me to do something for him to help him keep from being depressed. I might try sending him a dream message. I have read about it but have not tried it. It seems simple enough. However, I am trying to get him to understand that it doesn't work by itself, it helps him along. He needs to get out and find a job and fix things along with the spell for it to work.
I think that is all for tonight. Sleep and be well to all who read this.

Newby to the path
Hello all who happen to come across my blog. I am writing this to share my path into what I see to be the path of the Druid as from the ancient beliefs. I am a 41 year old with two grown children who are and will always be everything to me. I am a teacher, special education and am a students finishing up my masters degree in education.
I have always been drawn to the past but was raised in a Christian house by a survivor for a mother and a hypocrite for a father. Over the years I have worked hard to raise my children to be kind and caring people who will be and are great assets to this society we call our world. Over the years I have tried a few things that have produced results that were a bit scary. I have the gift if reading people and feeling/seeing spirits. I have been in many buildings, houses where I could see horrible violent things that had happened in someones previous life. These are gifts that I tried to ignore but it was always there.
Now my children a grown and in college, my new career of the past five years has not turned out the way I had hoped and I am looking for a new path for the rest of my life. I have done a lot of reading and research, seriously, over the last month and have decided that my experience, beliefs, and gifts fit best into the Druid religion and I plan to embrace this completely, as much as I can.
I have done a few small spells for luck, peace, and tranquility over the past few weeks. These seem to have worked and I can feel the power in me. Monday I plan to do my first blessing, consecration of an area, my classroom where I work. The tension is high because of a new supervisor/principle who seems to be unfit for this particular position. The tension between everyone at work is high and it is cause a great rift among the staff. I am not knowledgeable enough to know what to do for the entire community we try to uphold but I am confident that I can make things easier and more tranquil in my own classroom. We will see what happens. I need to be up early and at work long before anyone else arrives as getting caught doing witchcraft would probably not help my job at all.
Tonight my mom and I planted herbs and foxglove for the first time with the blessings of the goddess and the light of the moon. We have not been successful in the past at growing herbs and such in pots but I am hoping this year we will be more successful. The herbs will be used for cooking and spells and teas as needed. We have planted spearamint, sage, lavender, and foxglove as a starting point for their magical qualities. We will be planting more indoors over the next three or four weeks to be moved to large pots and planters outside when the weather warms up in April. Yay! I hope it all goes well.
Well, I am off to bed. Time to meditate, or practice anyway. Meditation is difficult for me as my mind tends to run continuously. Wish me luck as I need to accomplish this to properly cast my first circle on Monday.
Blessings and love.
