MM,
My Darlingz, ................ " Witch or Wizard ",

You have probably heard the saying ' there is a little bit of witch in every woman'. Well, that is absolutly right... { smile'z } and there are a few gorgeous Goddesses thrown in for good measure too. Every woman has been equipped since birth with her feminine intuition and witchy goddess power.
These are natural instincts that directly align with a woman's highly devoloped emotional awareness and the necessary 'all-seeing' eye of the future mother elder.
But lets not forget our gorgeous males of the species, who are also called 'witches' ( 'Warlock' is a misunderstood name and is rarely used now). Men sometimes --- well, often, actually--- get the short end of the stick when it comes to recognition of their own natural sensitivities, intuition and power. Being a female witch who has studied with a real live man of Magic and met some very sensitive and intuitive male witches, sometimes one consoders that Witchcraft is not nor has ever been an exclusively female domain.
Men and Women are equal in the practice of the Craft, We need to accept and love male energy as part of the important duality and natural laws of life. Without it, true Magic is only half as effective. Just as a man needs to discover and strengthen his femine side and nurturing side,a woman gains power by discovering and strengthening her maleness and assertive masculine energy.
There is duality, male and female, yin yang, black and white positive and negative , in everything.
When it comes down to it, however, your ancient heritage is far more important that your chromosomal make-up in the world of Magic.

" Whatever awakened your spirit as a seeker and set you on your path and whatever first insired your journey into Magic is correct and perfect for you "

[' NATASHA ']

" Don't Just Believe it can happen, KNOW IT, and see how that it already has "

' GOD and GODDESS POWER '

Lift the veil of superstition when you talk to gods and goddesses. Losing yourself to fear or superstition is magically disempowering. We can still commune and feel at one with all inspirational magic of the ancient gods and goddesses without bowing down or feeling less worthy than they are.
There's also no need to look at the god/dess energies as if they are completely seperate from you, because that is phychological 'giving up' of your personal power.
Knowing you are responsible for your own thoughts and actions is magically empowering. A real witch is a lead player in her own game of life. You are just as much a part of the cosmic order as are the god and goddess energies. Summoning the ancient gods and goddesses is a summoning up of the natural forces and the different personas within youself, which helps connect you with the myriad of archetypal energies throughout the universe.

There is quite a huge difference between praying to a great goddess and just saying ' please help me' and saying " DEAR GREAT Goddess, I am you, you are me"

Saying it without arrogance and knowing that you not only communicate with and are a part of the gods, you are the goddess and gods, you are the rain, you are the rain, you are the earth, the sky, YOU are thaaat big, that all knowing.
'And even if the realisation, that knowing, is just for split second during ritual or while simply meditating and connecting with your Magic, thats okay, because that is true magic--- knowing that you are all that is.

MM,
My Darlingz,
My topic today is " PREPARING for DIVINATION " .... Enjoy....

If you are new to divination, or in a confused state of mind, spend a few moments preparing your-self for the experience. Although you can divine in any state of mind, you woll probably have more clarity if your mind is quiet when you start. If you find it helpful, you can also use a divination spell or maybe charm to help focus your mind and find the correct answer.

.........................
Meditating To Quieten the Mind,
If you are too focused on your-self and your surroundings, you may see the answer youo want to see rather than the correct answer,
Follow these steps to let your Unconscious, Intuitive mind come forward before divination,

@ lay a cloth, { if you are using one } and place the tool on top,
@ Light a Candle, or Incense,
@ Close your eyes and breathe slowly.
@ Count your breaths from 1 to 10, then repeat untill your mind is still,
@ Let any thoughts drift by, If you become distracted, start counting again.
@ Continue until you count from 1 to 10 a few times without becomming distracted,
@ You are now ready to start.

..................

DIVINATION SPELL'
Use this spell for major questions, or just help yourself get into a propper state of mind.

1] Lay out the divinatory tool on the cloth or alter, then cast a circle and call upon the quarters,
2]Invite the goddess and god to join you, saying ' Lady of the Light and Wisdom, Lord of Knowledge and insight, illuminate the path for me, Guide me to the answers I seek. Let your insights be mine,'
3]Hold the tool in your hand, Close your eyes, Imagine White Light surrounding the tool and infusing it with pure energy.
say: This Tool is Blessed with correct Insight.'
4] Form the question you wish to be answered in your mind or say it out loud, open your eyes and perform the divination ritual appropriate for the tool you are using- for example, lay out a spread of tarot Cards or Runes. Open you mind and find the answer conveyed by your chosen tool.
5] When the divination is complete, thank the deities, saying ' Lady of wisdom, Lord of knowledge, thankyou for providing me the answer I have sought. Farwell and Blessed Be.'
6] Release the Quarters and open the circle.

.......................

If you do not need or want to do a full spell, but feel a charm is necessary, repeat these words,

' Open my vision, clear my Sight, Bring the Answer into Light.'

Blessings,

one wise council, is worth the strength of many..
you got that and more, GODDESS NATASHA!!!!

[wiccan pride]

Your words you have written has given me chills.burr!!!(sorry for caps,i would never yell at you)lol!!!!
GODDESS NATASHA,
When i had went into meditation to bring from the dormant state the gifts i wanted@believed were dormant
(i already possessed them)i had unlocked the gifts of spirit.which is telpathy,clairvoence,precognition,
and i am currently doing experiments with others on telekenesis. I only asked for to be more sensitive toward what others were feeling.when i did this in meditation i opened my mind wide open (as a wide open door)to receive all things.. After i had a very bad headache (not a migrain)thank god/dess,but it was painful..the pain went away the next morning , but the dull temple throbbing lased for weeks, then it went away.but i notice now when use the gifts i recieved, the feeling of dull throbbing comes back again.

And then things started happening, like the dreams that came true, or to see auras in others(state of health, ect.) then i would hear voices in my head of screams from children, and mommies (like when one station is overlapping another station thats in and out static)..when i went to hospital for a friend, i went to her room and was overloaded with grief, i could see the paitent in his state of health before, and could describe his feelings /thoughts before he passed on.. That was really creepy.so i dont go to hospitals unless they let me kick and scream first.premonitions of events that have been taking place, like 2 women in a wooded area one on the ground digging a hole with her hands, and the feeling that was there. The hate, it was evil..the sights ,sounds, the smell of the wooded area. It was so lifelike, it scared me. It was so real.
Getting back to the voices, the screams of mommy please dont, or daddy no, or why mommy why, these voices had a distinct echo to it .so i gathered it was the past talking to me.
That was crazy,,,, but i have learned to take the good with the not so good.you know as above,so below.i dont want others to think im omnipotant ,i am a ordinary guy that has been gifted. If others want to recieve gifts from spirit,these gifts are already there ,they just have to be awakened, and positive to their life path.. But there are some that think what i say is bs, thats okay, they dont have to believe in me, but until it is proven otherwise i think i should have the benifit of the doubt..but i feel that you believe in me ,somehow i know...i thankyou for that.. And thanks for smiling..lol

Natasha,
so true your words.
the worship of the Goddesses/Gods is a personal one: that should be,
if we as practioners of magick view it that way then, our magick will boon.
yes we are, arent we all. i think most dont know that we are the incarnates of the Goddesses /Gods.
with the Goddesses/Gods all things are possible. but here is the catch phrase.if it wasnt for our belief in the Goddesses/Gods then they would not be....they need us just as much as we need them.THE MAGICK LIES WITHIN US ALL, EVEN THOSE FAITHS THAT THINK WE ARE DOOMED,HAVE THIS SAME POTENTIAL; AS DO WE...
BLESSED BE YOUR WISDOM; MY IT BE A LIGHT FOR YOU WHEN ALL OTHER LIGHTS GO OUT..
MY BLESSING TO YOU GODDESS NATASHA;
BLESSED BE,
WICCAN PRIDE
