Of course, there those who believe blindly in Destiny and then there are those who vehemently deny it even exists. But what about those who are caught in between? Those whose lives are so bad that they are torn. After all, those who are molested at a young age and are scarred for life cannot go through life thinking they brought that on themselves. </span><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">It was said that our lives are what we make of them. So that child, who has been so scarred by this traumatic experience, who has to take medications and have therapy, this child grows into an adult having to believe that because they can't get past this experience then they are useless because they didn't have the ability to make something different out of their lives. To me this is wrong on every level.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">There are many in our country alone these days who are suffering from our declining economy, losing their livelihoods, their homes, everything they know due to someone else's miscreant behavior, is this destiny or did they create these situations by the decisions they've made in their own lives? Did they ask to lose all these things in their lives? I think not. And should they be made to feel as though it is all their fault because their life went into the shitter? I think not.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Now while one person can come from an adverse background and make something of themselves is wonderful, but to tell others, from their own experience, that life is what you make it and that many people are handed the "shit stick," it's what you do with that "shit stick" that makes all the difference, I think it is wrong.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">What about the mother, who is verbally abused by her spouse? She has 3 young children, no job, no money of her own, lives in a town where there is virtually no kind of help for her to get out of this situation. The spouse is now borderline verbally abusing the children and the mother has no where to turn for help except for those people that she's met in a social network. Should we tell her to stop whining, shut up and do something about it? What can she do about it? Didn't she make her bed after all, and now she should just lie in it and shut up? No! No! No!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Yes, we can all believe what we want in our lives. Whether or not someone else agrees with us or not is irrelevant, it's all in the way we handle how we talk to others. Your beliefs are not mine. My beliefs are not yours. Yes, some decisions we make affect the outcomes of our lives, but I will not go and tell someone who has had one bad thing after another happen to them to accept their "shitty stick" in life and do something about it. A person can only suck it up so many times before they break, especially when they've done everything they can think of to toss that "shitty stick" back outside. This is where I believe the Destiny part comes in. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Are some people...dare I say...destined to go through life struggling every day, hoping for a break, doing what they can to make that break happen for them, only to have that hope dashed every time they turn around by circumstances, not under their control, which prevent them from moving forward in their lives and on their paths. Or do they keep picking up the "shitty stick" and plod forward, day after day, working themselves to the bone for just a smidgen of what the "lucky" people have?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">I take offense to that because there </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;">are</span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;"> some things in life that we just can't control. Do I feel sorry for those who are controlled by what we call Destiny, yes I damn sure do! Why? Because I understand that every time they try to do something, something else will happen to thwart or even destroy everything they've already done. And it seems to happen time after time. Life is hard for these people and it's a struggle every single day to make things happen in their lives. So don't you dare tell me there is no such thing as Destiny and that we make our own way in life. Some people just aren't that strong. Does this make them less of a human being and it's okay to be told to stop whining and shut up already? Absolutely not!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">And there's this little thing called, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;">tact</span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">. If you want to shove your beliefs down someone else's throat, then it should be done with a little tact. Try helping them first before you put them down in such a way that makes them feel even worse than they already do. Explain to them how it was for you and how you overcame the obstacles and adversity in your life before you tell people that, "hey, you were one of the unlucky ones to get stuck with the "shitty stick," deal with it."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">I realize that this maybe off the beaten path of my usual postings, but then again, it really is right up my alley. Recently our family has been suffering some setbacks in our lives. This is nothing new to us or to me personally, as I have been "dealing with the shitty stick" for as long as I can remember in my life, not just as an adult. No matter what we do, we find ourselves falling deeper in debt, losing the simple necessities in life like electricity and gas, and the loss of employment. My faith in a Higher Power has been shaken from time to time, but never as deeply as this. I did not take offense at the things that were said for my own sake, because I know personally that no matter how hard we have been trying to control things in our lives here, we seem to keep finding ourselves taking 1 step forward and 3 steps backwards. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">No, I took offense for the woman with the abusive spouse, who has no where to turn with her 3 young children. Did either of us ask for this kind of life? No, I can't imagine anyone who would. Have we done what we can to change the events taking place in our lives, yes. Sometimes, you just can't control these things and yes, people do get the "shitty stick" and just can't get rid of it. Yes, what you do with it is up to you, but when, at every turn, you just find yourself deeper and deeper in the shit, what do you do then? You go and tell yourself to stop whining, shut up and deal with your "shitty stick!" </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">That is my spiel for today.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie!</span>Witchie's Cavernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08146920565746364338noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-64362328101712225592010-06-30T04:28:00.004-04:002010-08-18T10:35:29.717-04:00Shaken Faith<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">On Monday of this week, I had my faith shaken something awful. Without going into details, I had time to reflect on whether or not I was following the right path, not to mean I was contemplating following a different path of worship, so to speak. Just as to whether following any path was logical, reasonable, feasible or simply worth all the faith and effort I put into it. I even considered becoming an Athiest. I play by all the rules. I often give worship. I've even gone as far as to pray to other faiths' deities, to no avail.<a name='more'></a><br /> <br />I'm not a devout follower of any religion, whether it be the Christian/Catholic faith, Wicca, or even praying to the porcelain god. Instead, I incorporate quite a few different denominations into my daily life. I have a cute Buddha statue and a Mother Mary statue on my altar along side of my sage smudge stick and my pentacle drawn on a marble slab. I celebrate (as I stated in my last post) all of the Wiccan or Pagan Sabbats, as well as Christmas and Easter (these two mainly because they were what I was raised on). And I'm continually scouring the internet to learn as much as I can about other religions. Why? Because I like to believe there is something/one out there for us little humans, I think we need that and in these times, I think that many of us <span style="font-style: italic;">need</span> something to believe in to keep us going day after day.<br /> <br />I know in some religions, it is said to worship anything other than god, is to pay homage to a false icon. Well, that I don't believe because there are so many religions out there and there <span style="font-style: italic;">can't only be one</span> deity to pray to, talk to, worship, or even tell jokes to and no one faith is the best one or the be all, do all of religion. But my faith in any Higher Power out there was sorely tested on Monday. I am still coming to terms with whether or not I want to deconstruct my altar or center of worship, I'm not sure. Once instilled in you, it's a tough thing to let go of all the learning you've accumulated over the years, I'm not sure that I'm ready to let go yet, which is why I said my faith has been shaken and not just gone entirely.<br /> <br />I have a great many Christian/Catholic friends who continually support me and my precarious emotional state when things happen to me that make me question why I even bother to pray, meditate, or even just say hi to whoever is out there listening to us poor pathetic humans...yes, even those cold-hearted bastards on Mr. Olympus! LOL I ask them, purely from a respect aspect, not to tell me to pray to God or anything like that and they don't. I'm thankful that I have friends that don't try to "shove their religious preferences down my throat."<br /> <br />So while I try to come to terms with my anger, my disappointment, my confusion, I will also be deciding whether or not I will continue on this path I'm on now, or just let go of it all completely. Which, if I do decide to let go completely of any faith, that will be the end of this blog because you cannot do magick if you do not have faith, faith that there is something out there guiding us, helping us in someway, believing in us back.<br /><br />What are your thoughts on this? And please don't try to convert me to your belief system, thank you.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie!</span><br /></span>Witchie's Cavernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08146920565746364338noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-88871831353195696322010-06-27T11:56:00.014-04:002010-08-18T10:36:00.427-04:00Many visitors, so few followers...hmmm?<span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I've noticed through my <span style="font-style: italic;">sitemeter</span> that I may get many visitors, but yet I still have only 3 followers here on this blog. (which, btw, I thank immensely for stepping out of their comfort zone to follow me). It got me to wondering why. Could it be the name of my blog, Witchie's Cavern? Could it be the content isn't interesting enough for others to want to commit to following the blog? Could it be that others are afraid to step out of their box and learn something new and different? Could others be thinking that I'm out there? Different from them, so not worthy of their time? That because I'm not a "God-fearing" individual, my blog isn't worth their time?</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">(you can click on any picture to see it bigger)</span></span></span><a name='more'></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhraVxwk_ZfEL7oL2HYYKrFNsnyR8tOJ6fshxP_HKPrstJiYVsWPGXGfZijwUMv8PEa-qjLl3HtzCYNsNFIJSNl1ncKFH7w2-VKOqEds5L1BaoOxlSMwEiptJjv15BnstpLLfbmf2-EuZLf/s1600/Wiccan+Rede+bec+challenge.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhraVxwk_ZfEL7oL2HYYKrFNsnyR8tOJ6fshxP_HKPrstJiYVsWPGXGfZijwUMv8PEa-qjLl3HtzCYNsNFIJSNl1ncKFH7w2-VKOqEds5L1BaoOxlSMwEiptJjv15BnstpLLfbmf2-EuZLf/s200/Wiccan+Rede+bec+challenge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487501155047609426" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-size:85%;">A portion of the Witch's Rede, generally called the Wiccan Rede.

She may not have been with us for the past 10 years, but yet I'm sure she is <span style="font-style: italic;">still</span> with us. So, today during a ritual I plan on doing, I am calling on my mom for her aid. It's the perfect kind of spellwork to do seeing as she loved to shop and spend money! Not only is it her birthday, but it is also a <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">Full Moon</span> a perfect time to perform the spellwork that I plan on doing.<a name='more'></a><br /><br />What does this mean? It means that it's an even better time to perform my money growing spell. There are a few people in my life that are experiencing financial difficulties at the present time and with the aid of my Mom and the Goddess, we are going to do a spell that will alleviate those hardships somewhat. I've done this spell before and its worked wonders for those who have needed the extra help.<br /><br />I call it my <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Marigold Money Spell</span>. This particular spell calls for some shiny trinkets, some real or fake coins representing money, a planting pot, some soil and some money growing seeds...I use Marigold seeds because for 1, the plant is a money plant and 2, I just love Marigolds!! What's going to make this spell extra special and even more powerful is I've already got set aside on my altar everything I need in the way of the trinkets and coins from an earlier working. They are already all fired up and ready to go!!<br /><br />I've seen this spell many times, called many different things, in many books and on many different sites. It's one that takes a bit of time to manifest because as the seeds germinate and grow, so does the money in the lives of those I'm working for.<br /><br />So, I'm off for now to get all my housework and errands done so that I am completely available to perform this work this evening. Happy Spellworking!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie!</span><br /></span>Witchie's Cavernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08146920565746364338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-75409798897865528382010-06-21T12:55:00.002-04:002010-06-21T12:56:29.690-04:00Badge Is Fixed!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">YAY!!!

First, let's address the intuition part, because we all know what color is. Intuition is that "small voice within," it's an insight that comes to you from out of the blue without rhyme or reason. It's the thing that happens when you receive information that turns out to be right.<a name='more'></a><br />Now, Color Intuition? This is a way of defining the process by which you use your intuitive faculties to understand the deeper meaning inherent within color. Some use color intuition to discern conditions, imbalances or illness in the body and the human electromagnetic field. Some use it for creating elegant works of art and in the process, makes others "feel" good when viewing the art. Many people can "see" color as a child, but society has a way of driving anything natural in a child out, by deeming it "weird" or "unacceptable."<br />Color Intuition is closely linked with the Chakra System. This is a marvelous system of energy pathways that run through our bodies. There are seven specific colors associated with the seven Chakra's and each color is related to the resonance of a particular thought or consciousness. The frequency of energy is dictated by the level of consciousness and therefore, precipitates the hue or color of the Chakra. The Chakra's move up through your body from the base, which is called The Root Chakra, up to the seventh, which is called The Crown Chakra. Here are their names, where you'll find them in your body and what color is associated with each Chakra.<br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE3qTsuhwnEG4ufALth8ftQl77mvIaM3GnfgW5QxjJwpz4NnCQB5nfJCjQD3n2Mo7uku7X-qEZdPWxNaSsZxpa8XkGuX5AIJswPT3oz1HLfv0qBYlFUmNuohRdBBISPLE_Z-CxUYI3iXTo/s1600/chakras.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 129px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE3qTsuhwnEG4ufALth8ftQl77mvIaM3GnfgW5QxjJwpz4NnCQB5nfJCjQD3n2Mo7uku7X-qEZdPWxNaSsZxpa8XkGuX5AIJswPT3oz1HLfv0qBYlFUmNuohRdBBISPLE_Z-CxUYI3iXTo/s200/chakras.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484169536665842754" border="0" /></a></span></span>1. The Root Chakra - Located at the tailbone and extends down from the body between the legs. Its color is Red.<br />2. The Sacral Chakra - Located in the abdominal area of the body. Its color is Orange.<br />3. The Solar Plexus Chakra - Located between the solar plexus and the stomach areas. Its color is Yellow.<br />4. The Heart Chakra - Located in the chest area. Its color is Green.<br />5. The Throat Chakra - Located at the throat. Its color is Blue.<br />6. The Third Eye Chakra - Located on the forehead between the eyes. Its color is Indigo.<br />7. The Crown Chakra - Located at the top or "crown" of the head. Its color is Purple or White.<br /><br />To learn how to use Color Intuition in your life, you first have to learn to see color. I'm not talking about looking at your clothes and seeing the brown pants and pink top you're wearing. I'm talking about seeing the "color energy" in every living thing around you. I am in the process of putting together a pamphlet of sorts on PDF that can guide you through the process of learning how to do this. When I complete this work, I will make it available to you. There will be exercises you can do to help you "get in touch" with your intuition, reference points to help you pay attention to the many qualities of energy as you experience the energetic properties of color and instructions on how to make color cards and use them.<br /><br />Happy intuiting!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie!</span></span>Witchie's Cavernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08146920565746364338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-20259339261143625652010-06-12T02:10:00.002-04:002010-06-12T02:13:04.615-04:00Ugh!

If they follow you around everywhere you go and cause mischief, where a bracelet or an anklet with bells, they hate the noise! Jingle it frequently to keep them at bay.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">If you find they're wreaking havoc in your yard or garden, Windchimes will do the trick here, especially on a windy day! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Personally, I love Faeries! I have yet to find any that cause mischief in my life, but on the off chance that they want to get frisky at, say, an important meeting, I wear my anklet and wiggle my foot every now and then. It doesn't create a din that's distracting in the meeting, but it does have the Faeries covering their ears and scrambling to get away!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;">Much Luvz, Witchie!</span>Witchie's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707025806861973870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-87276001162396016002010-06-10T19:32:00.000-04:002010-06-10T19:33:28.680-04:00Witchie is doing Promotions!You may have read over at Witchie's Place that I am an affiliate for a few different products.

Helps separate thoughts from feelings, more centered, less emotional. Tiger's Eye allows us to recognize both our talents and our faults. It can reveal your true needs without our self-serving or rigid mental attitudes getting in the way...</span><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >This stone helps change anxiety, fear and obsessiveness into practicality and logic. Has the grounding energy of the earth, but is embellished with a glowing warmth. A stone for people who need more confidence to accomplish their goals. Draws helpful people and material things to the wearer. Centers energy and mental focus. This stone helps us to find our closest version of perfectionism without obsessive behavior."*</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">So, one can easily see where I got my confidence from, how I tamped down my anxieties of an interview and gave me the energy and mental focus I needed to succeed at the interview! The only thing I recommend with either of these stones is to not carry them around with you continuously. For me, I was on a "high" for the rest of the afternoon and evening. These stones can have a powerful effect</span></span><span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" > and can draw a lot of energy</span><small><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">If you choose to wear them or carry them with you, be sure to do a cleansing at least once a month, generally around the full moon for the both of them separately in a bowl of quartz...do not cleanse with water!</span></span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.peacefulmind.com/stones2.htm"><span style="font-style: italic;">*Courtesy of: http://www.peacefulmind.com/stones2.htm</span></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie</span>!</span><br /></small>Witchie's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707025806861973870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-77109019700042423942010-05-16T14:48:00.000-04:002010-05-16T15:03:02.247-04:00Balance and Energy...<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">If you read my other blog, Witchie's Place, you'll know that we visited over to my sisters house yesterday to attend a 1st communion for one of my nieces. You'll also read that I seemed to be a very happy camper as well without the benefits of cannabis or some such happiness-inducing drug. Here is the reason why:<br /><br /></span><p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">**Hematite, also spelled Haematite, is the mineral form of Iron Oxide.</p> <p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">Hematite grounds and protects us. It strengthens our connection with the earth, making us feel safe and secure. It endows us with courage, strength, endurance and vitality. A "stone for the mind", Hematite stimulates concentration and focus, enhancing memory and original thought.</p> <p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">Hematite utilises the magnetic qualities of our yin-yang energies to balance the meridians within the body and to provide a stable equilibrium between the ethereal nervous system and the physical nervous system. It focuses energy and emotions for balance between the body, mind and spirit.</p> <p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">Dissolves negativity and prevents you from absorbing the negativity of others. Haematite is strong, supporting timidity, boosting self-esteem and survivability, enhancing willpower and reliability, and imparting confidence. It helps to overcome compulsions and addictions, treating overeating, smoking and other forms of overindulgence. </p> <p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">Haematite restores, strengthens and regulates the blood supply, aiding blood conditions such as anaemia. It supports the kidneys and regenerates tissue. Stimulates the absorption of iron and formation of red blood cells. Treats leg cramps, anxiety and insomnia. Hematite aids spinal alignment and fractures.</p><p style="font-family: lucida grande;">I had placed a small piece of it in the little pocket of my shorts before we left yesterday and the whole day was just wonderful! Hematite is inexpensive and comes in a variety of carry-along sizes.</p><p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">**Courtesy of: <a href="http://www.charmsoflight.com/hematite-healing-properties.html">http://www.charmsoflight.com/hematite-healing-properties.html</a></p><p style="font-family: lucida grande;">Take a visit and learn more about gems and stones and their healing properties!</p><p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie!<br /></p> <p> </p>Witchie's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707025806861973870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-75953403546743304832010-05-13T01:59:00.000-04:002010-05-13T02:01:28.680-04:00Help Is Needed For a Beautiful Little Monkey...<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">While blogging through the blogs of the people I follow I came upon a post that broke my heart! A beautiful little 16 month old girl, nicknamed Monkey, has been diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. I do not know Monkey and until tonite had never even seen her Momma's blog before, but thanks to a wonderful friend of their family and the blogger I follow, <a href="http://thedailydoseofreality.blogspot.com/2010/05/mission-monkey-it-has-begun.html">Ian</a> (from my Monday Minute), hopefully this family will get all the help they will definitely need!<br /> <br />Ian has begun a fundraiser to help this family in desperate need. I am now a follower of <a href="http://www.mypixiedreams.com/2010/05/07/neuroblastoma/">Monkey</a> and her family and have donated so far what money we could afford at the moment and a free ad spot on one of my top ads. I am asking everyone that follows me to please go to Ian's page using the link that I've provided here for you and make a donation for this little <a href="http://www.mypixiedreams.com/2010/05/07/neuroblastoma/">Angel</a>. Or click on the picture of Monkey at the top of my blogs.<br /> <br />I have posted this on my Facebook as well and I hope many or ALL of you do the same!! </span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;"> I will continue to repost this on my Facebook as it is very late and not many of my friends are on. </span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Send your donations, your prayers, whatever you can that will help!<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br /> <br />IF YOU HAVE HEALTHY CHILDREN...PLEASE HELP! IF YOU KNOW OR LOVE SOMEONE WHO HAS/HAD CANCER...PLEASE HELP! IF YOU HAVE A HEART...PLEASE HELP!!!!!</span>Witchie's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707025806861973870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962686509335586280.post-33357785030417883042010-05-12T13:27:00.000-04:002010-05-12T13:40:55.497-04:00Hello, Muggles!<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Welcome to my Cavern, now this is the place where you'll find everything and anything about my Witchie World. I'll be talking about only Witchie things here, so if you're not into "that kind of stuff" it's okay, just means it's not your cup of tea. I am not a devil-worshiper, nor a heathen because I believe in the world of Magick. I am a nature-loving, tree-hugging, friendly person who loves to laugh, take long walks (when I can breathe), and I love to meet new people, even those of you with a different idea of how I should live, lol.<br /><br />I hope you come back often and with an open mind!!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Much Luvz, Witchie!</span><br /></span>Witchie's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05707025806861973870noreply@blogger.com0
