What a peaceful energy I have received tonight. It was very quiet, very calm, and very moving. I don't know if this is the energy common for a dark moon or if this is just my energy for a dark moon. I cast my first circle tonight. I had to do this indoors, of course, as it's cold and rainy in the Seattle area tonight... That never happens. I used the wand cast from Ann Moura's book, Grimoire for the Green Witch. Despite my practice prior, I stumbled a lot. Maybe the power would have been greater if I had been better prepared but I believe that this path is all about personal and practice. It's about coming up with words that work for you. It's about learning wisdom from others and making it your own.
I am planning to try again tomorrow night. I will practice, make some adustments. I want to make basic lines become a normal part of my vocabulary. I find that childhood habits of religion are difficult to break even if you haven't said the words, used the chants for years. I believe what I am doing, I believe in my spells and that the goddess works for me and through me and that with I will be free. She keeps me healthy, she can keep my happy, and she takes care of me. I just need to find may own form of celebration, sacrifice, and way to ask for help.
I will work on this and try again. I will practice, try different herbs, candles, oils, incense. I will find my way and love my friends and mentors along the way...
Thank you Maureen, Brigid, and Karen.You are blessings to me and I am glad you are my friends and sisters.
