I am a free spirit. I am strong as the strongest wind, but yet am also as gentle as a breeze. I am an American married to the most wonderful man that has ever walked the face of Mother Earth. I am a witch. I do not worship Satan; I am not interested in Satan. Satan was invented by the Christians. Satanism is a form of Christianity. I am not a Christian. I don't go to church on Sunday. Jesus is NOT my savior. He was simply a holy man who lived 2,000 years ago. I am not afraid of going to Hell because I don't believe in Hell any more than I believe in Satan. I believe in reincarnation; that I will come back to this world or another and live out another life. I am not evil. Telling people I am a "good witch" or asking me if I am a good witch implies that there are evil witches. There are evil people in the world and there are people who choose to work with the forces of nature in a way that harms others; those people are NOT witches. The central law of being a witch is: "if it harms none, do as you will." Please don't ask me about sacrificing cats or desecrating churches. I love my animals!, and have all the respect for the churches, just not my place to be there unless invited by someone for a wedding, funeral, etc. I do not need to be in a so called “House of Worship” to speak with my Lord & Lady. Wearing my pentacle is no different than wearing a cross, crucifix, or Star of David or any other symbol of faith. The five points of the pentagram signify the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire & Water, and the fifth point is Spirit; encircled by the Universe. Please don't ask me if I'm in a "coven. I personally do not like coven’s as to me they are another type of organized religion. To belong to a coven, you must believe in their ways and not independently, therefore a coven is NOT for me. I am an eclectic practitioner; I have no coven to discuss. In any case, our rituals have candles, food, drink, poetry, dancing. Don’t condemn me for my beliefs and try to convert me to your ways. I will never ever try to force mine upon anyone else. You either accept me for whom and what I am or you don’t. Sometimes I wear black because it keeps negativity away! If you want to ask me something related to MY religion, ask me when the next full moon is. Or what a blue moon IS! Ask me about herbs, Crystals, or Healing. I don't cast spells on other people and I won't cast a spell on you to make you prettier, thinner, and more desirable. Trust me, you don't want that, you don't want the Karma that involves and neither do I! That's a form of manipulation, taking away someone's power, infringing on their free will. I also won't cast a binding spell to make someone STOP doing something to you. Spell work is about co-creation. A witch works with universal energy, with the gods and goddesses, to tilt the engine of probability somewhat. Spell work infringes on NO One’s free will. Don't try to make me ashamed of who I worship and what I am. Please don't try to convert me or "save" me. Witches are proud of the fact that we don't recruit people to become witches. We simply are what we are and those around us see how we think, how we act and our inner peace. I am not asking you to convert. I am only asking you to please understand. If you don't want to understand, well then that is your loss.

I follow no path per say. I take some from here and there and what works for me and my beliefs and that's the way I am. I study various pathways, including Wicca, Native American, Shaman or any that gives me the answers which I seek. I am a WITCH and proud of it.
