I am not. I despise poetry, I dislike flowery prose, hell, practically every wiccan liturgy I have read and used I have had to rephrase because I couldnt take the endless poeticisims. I say this as I’ve been haunting one of my regulars, which is high on the imaginary demons front and new enthusiastic teen […]
Ok, tell me a decade ago that I would be a full blown witch when I grew up, I would have said you’re crazy. (Being ten, I might also have thought “damn, that’s cool”, but sadly witchraft aint as glamourous as the movies make it out to be). Tell ten-year-old Faeriedaughter that her spiritual life […]
A couple of weeks ago I was reading Phyllis Curott’s Witchcrafting and she talks about how it’s a good idea not to have electrical equipment in circle as the energies conjured tend to mess with the electrics and you end up with faulty goods. This explained a lot for me. My CD player is great, […]
I have been doing a lot of faery stuff lately – reading faery books, working on faery projects (my university illustration project is a mermaid-based faery tale, and my other project are illustrations for a book on faery) reading up about witch stuff and doing guided meditations and automatic writings. And eating a lot of […]
So, yesterday, busying myself away on the internet, figured, well, I need some illustrative guidance, so I went and got myself a book about illustration that comes very highly reccomended from a friend of mine. It’s thirteen good english pounds, but apparantly it is worth every penny. One thousand three hundred and ninety-seven pennies, exactly. […]
Well, I have burnt my faerie ass back top illness from silly amounts of partying, so this weekend has been unproductive on the faerie front, unless watching two Harry potter films count, which I think it does. Here is a faerie link – she is my inspiration for today, though I don’t think I could […]
A week ago I set a challenge to do 7 faerywitchy things this week. I think I got up to five, which is pretty good, I think. I did two ritual/spell things (with faerie help), asked and recieved help from the faeries and angels, did a stress-reducing pathworking to hang out with Finvarra, had a few […]
Here I am, meant to be writing about my experiences as a Faerywitch. That was my intention of the blog, so let’s do the business. I was a regular witchy/wiccan type person for a long time before I discovered the world of Faery and consequently decided to try and bring that into my practice and everyday spirituality. The […]
Back from my break. I am shattered, so I woke myself up with drum and bass and an impossible mission to draw a nice picture of myself to stick at the top of this blog (involving finding a rare good photo of myself on facebook, then finding one I can actually draw. Tired drawing is […]
…. but I havent mastered the ability of finishing it before it all goes cold. I have lots to say (as usual, I don’t shut up in the real world) but I am exhausted, so i’m gonna take a break and come back for faery related happenings.
Aaah its autumn. We all know what that means – a return to school. At last, my sleepy university town is repopulated, I have people to lunch with, to talk to and to party with, and loads of good intentions about how great my last university year is going to be. Alas, but for the freshers […]
Finally, I am re-motivated to get down and dirty spiritual-wise again. Not too dirty though. Slow steps, bit by bit. This has been motivated by depressive feelings. A long and lonely summer stretching endlessly onward does tend to get you down. The Guy has gone home for a few weeks, and I have the flat to myself. […]
I don’t know what’s going on really, but I cannot work up the motivation to do any spiritual stuff, like I think it’s all silly and useless. I know this may be a result of the fact I run away from problems, like my big Guy related problem at the moment, and have trouble expressing […]
After my ridiculously positive relationship-based post, I reveal to the world that I am no more together than anyone else by saying that The Guy has a new Girlfriend, and I am Not Ok with it, even though I said and thought I would be. I know this girl, she is lovely and pretty and […]
Nice lazy morning today – woke up and lay in bed daydreaming, it could have been any hour, and considering I am a jobless student time is not a construct that applies to me. Pleasantly discovering that it was only 14;15 I toddled along to the bathroom to do bathroom related activities. There are bluebottles […]
… or at least I believe so. Going through a bad romantic stretch, one would think that the last thing one would need is a film with a romantic-based plot. How wrong could you be! For a sad 20 year old, watching a film about strong independent 40-something women finding love and having trouble getting […]
Many moons ago I bought and read Z Budapest’s Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries. A lot of it I don’t agree with – free lady love under a moon, being one of them – but a lot of it is inspiring and feministly good. One subject she touches upon is the Slothwoman, described in other […]
As aforementioned, I am obsessed with House and Cuddy on House MD. Lisa Edelstein is just so beautiful, and even though I fancy him as House, Hugh Laurie himself is actually the kind of guy I would fall for in real life, my fantasy world being a silly place. But everyone, wise up! In all […]
On one of the sites I currently frequent, there is an influx of teen wiccans – some mature sensible types and many not so. One person there is adament that a Warlock is any witch who is not wiccan, that has “gone against their teachings” and subsequently gone down a bad path. Oh dear. Has […]
