Pray for Japan

I had been so horrified by the devastating events in Japan and felt helpless seeing fellow humans suffering as most people here have.

I went onto picbadge to wear a badge to spread the word of positive prayer for the people affected by the quake and tsunami as it’s the least that we can do. I was sickened and disgusted to see businesses and brands using this horrific situation to promote themselves. Have people lost their minds?!

So I decided to make my own badge with no ties to anything apart from spreading the word of prayer. I’m pleased to say that since it’s been available and thanks to you all on Facebook and twitter it has now reached over 5511 supporters and continuing to rise in just 2 days.

I will be adding a link to official support sites for donations to help aid and truly putting this badge to good use in spreading the word of support and hopefully raise money for aid. If there are any reputable organisations out there that are taking donations please leave the link to them on the comments or my page and I will endeavour to link it up with the badge.

Thank you all for supporting and continuing to spread the word of prayer, whichever form it may be or from whichever faith you follow or path you walk.

Peace ♥

Tarot – The Moon

I’ve always been intrigued and fascinated by the tarot. As a child my aunt used to do readings for my mum and her other sisters. When no one was looking I would often go and sneak a peak at her cards. I was and still am today very much a day dreamer, and just looking at the cards used to send me off into a little adventure deep in my mind.

As a teen I decided I wanted to learn tarot and was lucky to have been gifted a deck with an instruction booklet. For months I sat and tried to memories each card with no luck whatsoever. I have an appalling memory and often forget even what day it is, so you can imagine how quickly I fell out of the idea of practicing tarot.

Now as an adult it finally clicked with me that I didn’t really need to try to remember each and every card but could try using my cards in a more intuitive way. I’ve always been able to scry even as a child images would come to me, whether it be a cloud in the sky or some rice on a plate, images would pop out to me and often the meanings were significant.

Surely the tarot was created and its interpretations were of someone elses intuition, why couldn’t I just use my own?

Not long after joining the YouTube community, I met some dear friends who have helped me in some way with my tarot. Before I set up my channel I had been geeking behind the scenes watching people’s videos and my friend Sy had some amazing videos on tarot and watching them really opened my eyes on how I could approach my readings, she also suggested a book which I have just bought which has greatly helped me too. I will post a review of this book soon peeps!

Also my friend Alexia had purchased a deck of cards that I just fell in love with so had to rush out and get them.

The cards just “spoke” to me. Each and every image resonated with me on some level and i felt it finally click into place. I still use the deck to this day so I am ever so grateful for her sharing with me.  So being an intuitive reader there are some cards that just shout out to me and to be honest I have not looked into what they “mean” as the feeling i get from them mean so much more to me.

One of my favorite cards has to be The Moon. I just love the feelings I get from it, I feel calm, nurtured, guided and magical. Just love it! The pics in this post are of the moon from 2 of my decks, the first being “The Golden Tarot” and the other being “Tarot of secret forest”.

I hope you enjoy the eye candy

My favorite book as a child

I had many books that I loved as a child.

To be honest anything that had a wee witchy in it, would be my favorite. When I was at school as a child we used to have our own library. I used to sneak in there on my own at times and hide amongst the books with my favorite read.

One of them was a book simply called “Witches”. It was my favorite book! Since I was going to a Catholic School at that time looking back I am quite shocked that they had it to be honest. This book was great, it showed witches in a good light, instead of the evil stereotype that I was used to in the movies and fairy tales.

I hate to admit it but, when I left that school (moving home) I did take the book with me – Yes I was a wee thief! lol

Apart from that book I had many others that I liked but my  ALL TIME fave was a book called “La bruja aburrida”. My mother used to read it to me as a bedtime story. “La bruja aburrida” translates to The Bored Witch. She had a pet owl and used to travel all over the world on her broomstick whenever she was bored. She had many adventures with her little owl, and filled my head with amazing thoughts and wonder.

For those of you who don’t know I’m half Spanish and spent my childhood living there. When I moved to Scotland my Spanish family used to send me the latest “La bruja aburrida” book, so I built up quite the collections

These book holds a lot of special memories & to this day I still have them.

Here is a wee video I did on some of my books:

Autumnal Bliss

I am well known amongst my friends for being rather random. I have a bad habit of vocalizing my thoughts, and in this instance it has been something I’ve never been able to live down!

I was sitting in a room full of people at my work. We’d had a pretty hot summer that year, which was somewhat rare for us here in Scotland, but summer was over and autumn had finally crept in. We were all talking about our everyday lives, what we were doing for the weekend and what we had been up to the weekend before that and as usual customers were creeping and lurking in every corner.

I slipped into a daydream as I stared outside of the window, watching the leaves of the trees implanted in the concrete grounds of the city centre, turn to endless shades of golds and burnt oranges. People were walking past with their shopping bags packed to the brim with the latest must haves, flicking on their phones and playing with their iPod’s.

For me time stands still when I day dream, it is very indulgent of me but when it happens it happens. I was swept away into a blissful daydream of trips to the beach at twilight and strolls in the park, kicking the fallen leaves in the air when I uttered the words out loud.. “I LOVE AUTUMN”…

Silence was shortly interrupted by mass laughter as I soon realised that I had blurted it out in the midst of everyone’s conversation. Trying to redeem myself for the rather random outburst was just not happening and since that day whenever there is an awkward silence my friends happily fill it with a rendition of “I love autumn”.

So what is your favorite season? And have you ever blurted out such random things?

Please comment and let me know that I am at least a little bit sane lol

My Bad!

I’ve been very very very bad!
I bought myself something on Friday

I know I know, it’s very bad of me when I should be getting gifts for everyone else. But! In my defence I am making ALL the gifts I’m giving this year, all individualised to each person, so you’ll let me off? Lol
Ok well, I never treat myself but I had been doing some cleansing rituals during the New moon and I saw this Beautiful Broom online and HAD to get it. I’ve always wanted to make my own but where I stay there are laws against taking plants/twigs etc from our forests, so when I saw it on sale I thought it was meant for me!
It’s a Silver birch twig bristle broom, with a hazel handle all handmade.
I was meant to have got it today but due to the poor weather it didn’t show up, so I’m super excited about it arriving!
I have had loads of trouble with my camcorder so aint been able to get any vids up on my Youtube channel, but hoping to get it fixed in time to show you guys as I open the package!
Anyways will let you all peek at it as soon as I can get my vids working, if not I’ll post some pics
Speak soon

Weird Dream

Ok so It is normal for me to have weirded out dreams… i often do!

But NEVER do they stick with me like this one has, unless I have to learn from it.

So my dream:

I dreamt that I woke up to the next day… (hate it when i dream that! lol)
As I got up (in my dream) I wandered into my kitchen to make a sandwich. My mother was their throwing out half of a cooked chicken that she had made the night before. I asked her why she was doing this to which she replied “otherwise it’ll go bad”.

I then went to the fridge to get out a steak, I made some food then sat down to eat it. As I ate I realised that I wasn’t as hungry as I thought so left the rest.

I went to the trash and emptied my plate.

All of a sudden, I had a flash in my mind that froze me still. It was the animals that provided our food. They spoke to me through thought, they were disgusted and saddened by the state us humans are in. Our food; whether it be chicken fillets, or a rump steak, is all prepacked and presented to us in pristine condition. But we have forgotten where that food came from.

If an animal died or was killed, is it fair to strip it of all its dignity and throw it in the trash as it has “served its purpose”, in a way – disposable life?

Now I’m not saying that we should all be vegetarians, but I think its important that we respect where our food comes from. Don’t be wasteful, think about the life that has been sacrificed to stop our hunger, give us fuel, energy.

From now on I will make sure I eat less meat/poultry and be grateful when i do.

Hey Everyone!

Hi everyone
I’m thanks for visiting my blog!
I consider myself pagan (if you have to brand me) a solo practitioner and have been for 6 years (and still learning and growing)

Here I plan to share with you  my journey and knowledge as I “walk the path” and have some fun along the way!
During these 6 years I have seen my beliefs tested, my interests alter, my commitment vary, but this year however has been a bit of a breakthrough for me.
For a while I had been studying many faiths, from Wicca, Hinduism, Christianity and found myself asking questions. I began to realise what i did and did not believe in.

Anyways enough about me!
Im sure you will hear all about what i have to share soon

But for now I wanna keep this short, just a quick hello to say I’m here and if you wanna stop by and message me please do!
