Why Crystals Support Your Re-Awakening

Hi Boho Witch Babe, 

Today I wanted to stop by and share with you one of the many spiritual support tools that I'm using right now to help me Re-Awaken the Witch Inside.

I'm talking about CRYSTALS

I've been a believer and collector of crystals for quite a few years now, but there have been only a handful of instances where I've worked with crystals and thought "Holy Moly - That happened because of the crystals I used. But being a Boho Witch - Crystals were always going to be in my vibe right?

There was the occasion where a Black Tourmaline pendulum and Celestite cluster placed under my pillow helped me travel in my dreams back to a past life of mine in Egypt. 

There was the time that an Amethyst ring manifested a man into my life - not the forever one - but a man all the same who was right for me at the time.

Also, the three crystals which I can't remember for the life of me what they were called now that I placed on my upper abdomen area prior to an MRI scan seemingly made my 'gallstones' vanish overnight! (Please see your GP/Doctor if you have ANY ailments whatsoever!!) 

But right now as I face what feels like a tarot story that would consist of The Tower, Six of Swords and now the Two of Swords (Shit hitting the fan, coming out the other side, and now facing uncertainty!), I have once again been looking to crystal energies to help support this transition and change period in my life. 

With the help, support and guidance of my Sister Witch Rosie who happens to own a witchy shop, I have been working more and more with crystals lately - literally using them as a crutch at one point. 

First I was guided to Citrine for abundance and happiness - the joyful vibe to help me with my manifesting energy. I don't usually get on with citrine - I literally become angry and vile when I'm working with it, but I've bonded beautifully with a Citrine bracelet from Rosie's shop. Now, it's become one of my all time favourite crystals to work with! 

Then I was guided to Rose Quartz for...Looooove!!! Both self love and romantic love. I feel particularly close to the Rose Quartz vibes and have been carrying a tumblestone around in my bra, sleeping with it under my pillow, and have ordered pendants from the glory that is Ebay of it too. They've not arrived yet but when they do, be sure to check back on my Instagram account for piccies! 

I'm also really drawn to Clear Quartz and Amethyst right now - like amethyst is so freaking dreamy and powerful!!! I will share a pic of my Amethyst cluster on my IG account (come follow me on instagram - search for The Boho Witch) and in fact I believe my Amethyst pendant totally got me through college! So, I'm really vibing with those crystals too!

I love the fancy crystals as I call them - you know those Elestial Aqua Aura Quartz types - but Oh My Goddess do I love the beautiful and radiant power of the "Simple stones". 

I'm feeling this morning the urge to work with my Goddess Moonstone crystal today - so i'll give that a try and let you know how I get on with it - Moonstone sometimes can make me feel unwell as it triggers me - probably my fear of stepping into my Witch Power, but I keep on trying! 

I decided to work with crystals to support me right now because sometimes you can't automatically reach the energy or vibe you desire, so I like a little help from those who can, and those that can support me as I do this, which is why I freaking love crystals. They just know intuitively what it is that you REALLY need and they vibe with you. 

Do you work with crystals Boho Witch Babes? If you do, leave a comment below - I wanna know all about yours, if you're on Instagram - follow me, and leave a comment or tag me in your crystal pics - I wanna see your babies! 

Until next time, Stay True to You,

Review: Crystal Resonance by Kerry Nelson Selman

Title: Crystal Resonance 

Author: Kerry Nelson Selman

Publisher: Llewellyn 

ISBN: 9780738743943

Rating: 4/5 

Purchase: Amazon 

Crystal Resonance explores how combining the gifts from Mother Earth can enhance our connection to higher guidance, Higher Self, Spirit, or Archangels. Vibrational wellness and wellbeing are restored and we are empowered to embrace a life of purpose, grace, and wonder of All That Is.

The synergy of specific combinations of crystals, essential oils, flower essences, and practices facilitate our reconnection with all that we are in this life-enhancing book. Self-responsibility, self-determination, and self-worth are inherent in each of us as human beings, our birthright, and we get to choose every step of the way. The choice to enhance our innate connection with All That Is remains with each of us…for those who enjoy honoring the Spirit within, the synergy of the combined gifts from the Earth and Beyond are there just waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

What I think:

The book begins with a section on what I call the basics. These basics include; details on what energy is, how there is evidence backing up the energetic fields, chakras and how crystals come into it. I admit I skim-read this section as I am not new to the idea of working with crystal energy. 

The second section is where I really found myself devouring every word. Kerry really goes in depth detail on a few major crystals such as Amethyst, Citrine, Selenite, Black Tourmaline, and Red Jasper. I really enjoyed reading Kerry's own stories of the experiences she had with the crystals in each 'chapter' as it allowed the full extent to her guidance and recommendations come to life. As well as detailing the outline of each crystal, Kerry tells us about the flower essences, and archangels that work well with the energy. The most surprising part of the section was the charming yet powerful meditations (there are more than one for each crystal) contained at the end. 

I wholly recommend this book to both newbies and the more experienced user of crystal energy as after 10 years of working with these energies, even I learnt a lot from this book.

Amber ~ Pagan Blog Project 2014

The Pagan Blog Project is back! And this year I am attempting to take part as I re-dedicated myself in Samhain to take my pagan practice up a notch or two. I want to find that inner closeness I have had snatches of over the past few years. So this is my personal journey, and I will be posting about topics I haven't done before or that I haven't done in much detail. This week's post is the letter "A" and I chose to write about AMBER.

Amber is one of the most prettiest stones I have ever seen. I have to admit that it was my Mum who brought my attention to this amazing stone. Mum has always had a close affinity with Merlin, Alchemy and Nature. She still remains in awe at how this beautiful crystal is formed from tree resin which is what gives it that plastic feeling when you rub it between your thumb and forefinger.

Amber is a stone of courage, personal power and harmony - traits every practicing pagan and witch would benefit from and understand just how important they are to have. It's also a great crystal to work with as we approach Imbolc, as we each grow out of the dark and begin to emerge into the lightness of the earths cycle. Amber is also especially brilliant to work with when in our practices, wiccan or shamanic, we are aiming to connect between the realms, amber acts as the gateway.

It's long been associated with the Mother Goddess as it is believed to contain the essence of life - possibly down to the fact that some tree resin Amber's contain insects and the like.

Ways To Use Amber:

On a Healing level, Amber is good to wear upon you for self-healing, and relieving anxiety and depression. It's brilliant for increasing your self confidence and inner radiance. If you are a healer and work with many clients either physically or spiritually at a distance, wearing amber can help prevent you absorbing negative energies. It's a wonderful crystal to aid digestion, and speech problems, it strengthens the spine and encourages cell regeneration.

With Children and Animals, Amber is particularly self healing for animals who are older. I find my Cat like to lie on this crystal which is gentle and comfy and seems to ease her arthritis. For children, you may find it helpful for them if they are prone to being bullied, it creates a barrier against spite (sometimes us adults could benefit from Amber for this reason too).

Protection is what Amber is probably best known for, it gives you the courage to face your enemies be they people, situations, fears, etc. Roman Gladiators used amber for this too! If you place a piece on your altar it will offer power and protection in your rituals.

Money, Money, Money! Amber is a stone of prosperity and success. So it's great to keep some in your purse/wallet, on your desk at work, in your safe at home with your money and valuables, you can even pop a small piece in a money box. I like to keep a piece near my vision board and have even attached it to a vision board.

Spiritually Speaking - Amber is great to use for past life work. Burn an orange candle and hold this crystal whilst gazing into the flame with half closed eyes.

My experiences with Amber

My mum bought me a gorgeous Amber pendant for my birthday one year and it looks truly like a family heirloom. Many people have even asked me if it was my Grandmothers or Great-Grandmothers - yet it is totally brand new. It is just a very experienced stone - at least I like to think of it that way. I've always associated amber with High Priestesses and I tend to work with Jet too when doing magickal work. The deep richness of the colour, I cant help but be transformed to autumnal thoughts of cosiness, and warmth, which is important for self security and inner reflection.

Ring Ring! Hello? ... This is the Dark Goddess Calling...

 

Merry Meet Witchettes!

 

I have missed you so much! I have had a very serious call to answer this past week or so.

I had been called back to working with and discovering new pathways within my witchy soul as you are aware and I came across the Dark Goddess during my studies. I had heard of 'The Dark Goddess' but in all honesty had never really taken time to really understand what message she imparted. As I discovered more about the Dark Goddess showing up in your life and in my life I began to join the links together that showed just how she had been present in my life. I began to feel compelled to tell others via my blog all about my discoveries when the witchy soul inner telephone began to ring ...

RING RING!!!

 

Hello?

 

THIS IS THE DARK GODDESS CALLING....

 

Yep, she called and I answered the phone which means I had accepted on a soul level I believe the lesson I have now learnt.

 

Over this past week or so I have known the darkness of health and its made me appreciate my good health far more than I did before and I didn't think that was possible. I noted how I'd mentioned "The Call of the Dark Goddess" and was resonating with my past as I recalled times I'd been called by her, I know that I was called back to this pathway and my attention to the Dark Goddess was caught for a reason. The Dark Goddess called me again, and I have truly learnt how to listen to my body and the power healing energy has. I know there is more for me to learn, but positivity and faith in the Goddess will help me appreciate the light.

 

I have been in hospital (which has been a nightmare all on it's own) but I am home resting now. Mum called the ambulance Sunday and I was admitted. after first being discharged and then called back in within a matter of seconds to be told that I have gallstones and the pain I was in was caused by the gallstones passing through my bile duct and getting slightly stuck. Now blood tests show that my liver function is improving and returning to normal. I am armed ...with painkillers and can say that I have now experienced gas and air, morphine and been assured that if I can get through THAT pain, childbirth will be a breeze. Which coincidently I believe was a lesson from the Dark Goddess in matter of speaking as I am now 25 years old, in a relationship with the sheer love of my life, the man that I just can't imagine not waking up to for the rest of my life, the man I want to fight over the remote control with, and I admit it - I have had a fear of getting pregnant largely due to the childbirth aspect. Thank you Goddess for the lesson!

So I am just resting because I've had no sleep and really am exhausted. I have to go back Monday for an MRI to make sure the stones have passed., needless to say that I would appreciate healing energy to help these stones pass from my gallbladder easily, and in a pain-free way as I do NOT want surgery at all. Of course if needs must I will have to travel that route, but I REALLY want to try all other natural methods first! So along with the painkillers, I'm armed with Crystals, Herbal Drinks, Healing Music/Meditations and Angel Prayers of Healing. Oh and one more thing; I am SO glad to be home!!!

 

 

 

So what have I learnt?

Basically that as much as I live to GIVE to you and everyone I can help, I really do have to put myself first and rest more, help myself, listen to my own body, tap into my own wisdom. I have to stop putting my own needs last, especially when it comes to my health. I have to stop apologising and feeling guilty for taking responsibility for my life. I always manage to feel guilty when other people disagree with my choices which I make because I KNOW they are for the best for ME. I can say that I now know what it means to fully embrace my inner goddess and accept myself and my decisions, my choices. You can't make everyone agree or understand with why you do the things you do, but when you listen to your beautiful heart and do what feels right, no one, and I mean NO ONE has the right or the power to make you feel like you shouldn't do what's right for you.

 

So, if you take anything from this post I would like it to be; Stand up for yourself, listen to your heart and if you want to stop something, walk away, do something different, say NO, change your mind etc - you go for it! You listen to your Goddess Heart, and you feel PROUD!

Crystal Crazy Goddess

Hey gorgeous people! 

How are you? (grabs cuppa and sits in lotus position waiting to hear all your fantabulous news!) 

***

WOW! That's awesome! I am so happy for all the good stuff in your life right now! 

We'll as you know I'm busy rocking my style over at my coaching page a lot lately, really amping up my biz and enjoying the twists, turns and cartwheels that occur there - not to mention the fan-dabby-doozy-ness of Miracles that occur in my life right now. I kid you not that I experienced 8 miracles in 3 hours!!! 

Any way, I've also been spending time OM~ing with my Inner Guru to discover what spiritual love really rocks my chakras right now and I've discovered that i'm experiencing a re-birthing of all things Crystal, Chakra and Angel related! Seriously, it's been too long since I gave a damn about my whizzing chakras and felt such bliss at the thought of "ANGELS" but it's back! 

So, I decided that to embrace the NEW fantabulous me I should celebrate by starting a NEW crystal collection. All my other crystals I will display nicely in a cutesy fish bowl and drop a couple of floating candles in there to amplify there power. 

Yesterday I actually completed the goal I set for myself by kick starting my new collection with 11 new crystals - basic ones but heck - why over complicate things? 

So I have new shiny energy rocking babies that are currently being cleansed and empowered in Mother Nature. Do you collect crystals? When did you start collecting? What's your fave Crystal Baby to work with?  COMMENT below - I Love chatting with you  _Gush_ 

***

Do you want to know what else has been rocking my inner goddess guru? YOGA!! 

I used to stretch my soul with Yoga quite regularly once but I dropped out of it and gained weight (Which I am so pleased to say that I have lost 3 stone of it now - WOOHOO go ME!!!), but I rolled out the Yoga Mat and pressed "play" on the YOGA DVD and I did 75 mins of pure blissful goddess yoga. I freekin' LOVED it and it loved me right back. That's the thing with life - Love it and it will Love you right back regardless of your shape, size or age! Rock your Yogi Goddess! 

So I have a few fave poses which I shared with my Friendies on Facebook; 

Warrior Pose (Great to boost your confidence and Power up your day when done to greet the Sun) 

Tree Pose (Super cool at helping you find balance) 

Cobra (kinda my go to pose for YEARS - Set's my back into good shape and easy flexibilty) 

A practice that I've really become addicted to is OM~Chanting 

I find that it calms me, centers me, and grounds me in a awesome way! I found myself getting slightly stressed yesterday on a phone call and said to the guy who was spinning my chakras the wrong way "Sorry hun, but you are freekin' stressing me out - give me 10 mins I need to OM~Chant myself in prep for talking with you" 

So I did my thing regardless of what a freak he may have thought I was because to be perfectly honest - my Inner Bliss, My Inner Goddess Guru, My Inner WowNess deserves LOVE and plenty of it. 

So LOVE on yourself BIG time Gorgeous! 

and

Don't forget to comment below and let me know all about your crystals, angels, chakras, Yogi Goddess, or anything that rocks your chakras! 

(There's a magickal Goddess who's going to be rockin' this blog in the next couple of days with her Herbal Magick for Psychic Development - so swish back soon!) 

Book Review ~ Crystal Healing by Adrienne Dumas

Crystal Healing by Adrienne Dumas

This charming E-book written by Adrienne Dumas is so beautiful I cannot express it well enough. It details beautifully how we can work most effectively with 10 of the most common crystals, with hints and tips on using Citrine, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, and Diamond  to name a few. 

In my opinion this helpful guidebook is perfect for beginners who are just getting acquainted with working with crystal energies, and also more advanced practitioners as sometimes we can forget some very simplistic and key methods in working with such wonderful energies.  

It took less that 3 minutes to print out after being instantly waiting for me in my email account immediately after purchasing, and I couldn't put it down. I have since put it in a beautiful ring binder and keep it handy on my shelf with all my other crystal guides. 

The layout, detailing, and wonderful pictures add to the magickal charm of this guide and is one that I will refer to again and again. Adrienne writes with a passion, and it clearly shines through the pages of this guidebook, and makes you want to find out more; more about crystals, more about Adrienne's work and more about the wonderful Faeries and Angels Network which features Videos, Pod Casts, Magazines, and Online articles to name only a small amount of the fantastically magickal work that Adrienne brings us along with Andrea Dombecki 

Available to Purchase from the link above (Under the cover picture) for a wonderful price of $3.33

 (Just over £2!)

Re-Opening the Broom Closet!

Merry Meet,

I'm going to be honest with you all. I haven't been myself lately. I've had days where I've been *me* but on the whole, 9 out of 10 days I've been someone I'm not. Let me explain.

When I created this blog I was at an all time high on my Witchy Pathway, but then slowly my energy depleted and my posts began to show that. Yeah you know the wingey, whiney, moany ones! yep they're the ones. Well, it wasn't really fair of me to post them, but my blog was my little room in my witchy house where I could moan until my heart was content. I did try to moan until my heart was content, but that was the problem...moaning doesn't please me! Yes, guys! Im afraid MOANING does NOT PLEASE me :D haha

So I have been under going a form of therapy... it's called Loved Ones! Well My Man, My Friend and My sister have been working with me tirelessly over the past couple of weeks to help me finally look in the mirror and see the Mess I got myself into. (NO I have not turned into an alcoholic, depressed dirty housewife - for one thing, Im not married...YET!)

Well, Yesterday while my Man was busy and my Sister was out shopping, I stood up and looked in the mirror Not an actual mirror...c'mon you know me by now! I'd break it! I don't need another 7 years of bad luck :D And I took my time to process all the things my loved ones had said to me. They were concerned that I'd literally turned my back on my Witchy Roots...(yes My Man is from a Catholic family... he's Italian..but he was concerned I'd not practiced Magick for a while)and that I'd let my work with Faeries rule my life. Not to mention the fact that I wasn't my normal chirpy (CRAZY!) self. Counselling was mentioned... but I have decided not to go down that road... not unless I really need to.

Anyway, Something sparked an interest in me. So I looked back at some of my old hang outs online *Children of Artemis* being one of them, and even though some of the posts were either old, basic or too advanced for me, I felt such an immense feeling of calm and *homely-ness*. So it got me thinking, what about books I used to read... when I was a teenager... and I thought about when I began working with Tarot professionally..."I haven't used the tarot enjoyably for ages!!!". I can't even tell you the last time I enjoyably worked with Angels...it had all become a chore and a 9-5.. ok a 24/7 job that was weighing me down :( As a Libran, balance is important to me, and is one thing that I'm here in this incarnation to acheive - balance in my life.

So I made a decision. I will continue with my work with the Faeries, they are a huge part of my life, but they do need to stop being so much in the forefront of my life as I have no room for working with the Angels, Goddesses, Tarot or anything else. OK this sounds a little bit hard to take in doesn't it?
Let me see if I can explain a little better.

I want to embrace facets of myself that have been pushed to oneside and hidden in my Broom Closet for the past year. I want to work more actively with crystals, spells, Moon Magick, Herbs, The God & Goddess, Angels, Tarot. They are all a side to me that has been neglected this year which has caused me to be unbalanced and unhappy. I really enjoy my work as *The Faerie Whisperer*, I get to connect to so many wonderful people and of course my column in FAE Magazine is a blessing and well, I'm very grateful for that aspect of me. But what about *The Witch Inside*?

So my target for 2012? To become a more balanced witch and person.

To give me a helping hand I have created an additional Facebook Page called..... *The Witch Inside* where I will post Goddess Magick, Candle/Colour/Crystal Magick, Moon Power, Herbal Hints, and so much more.

Why create an additional page?

Good question! Well, I wanted something separate to my faerie whisperer page where I could share with like minded people my Witchy Ways. Now I will still post SOME elements for my Faerie Whisperer page, but I'd love it if you would *like* my New page too... Pwetty Pwease! <3 xxxx

So onto other areas in my life...

How's the Kabbalah?

Really good actually. I'm wearing my Red String, in fact I had it tied to me by my Mum last night and then I had crazy dreams... my spirit guide visited me and to cut a long story short...he's looking after me.

I have recieved 2 more Kabbalah books I ordered from Ebay, I didn't purchase them brand new as I figured if this turns out to be something Im not interested in, I'd like to have not spent tons of money on books. So I got them all for under £10!! One is about the Red String, and basically helps you notice what could be attracting negativity into your life and the other...is called *God Wears Lipstick*. Ladies.... Buy a copy! Seriously. It doesn't matter what religion you are, you can benefit from this book! it helps you work on manifesting your life as you want it but without engaging your EGO into the manifestation process, it also works with your romantic life and relationships. I LOVE IT!!!

Also One thing to note! I have a stalker! Yes, they may even be reading this right now! Freak!

You see, Since I became *The Faerie Whisperer* I have been CONTINUOUSLY copied by this person and to be frank I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT! They need to grow up and stop being so damn SPITEFUL! Yes that is what you are! Spiteful because someone else is succeeding where you want to! It is NOT FAIR, it is not GOOD, and it certainly is not adhering to the AN HARM NONE!!!! Rule!
You have literally ruined for me what should be a wonderful pathway! You consistently copy, use my work to inspire *your so called original* work... darling, there is nothing ORIGINAL about you!

I have readers of my work EMAIL and MESSAGE me about you and your copying of my work, but just because you word it slightly different to how I have done so, or you literally take my idea....SNOW QUEEN, JACK FROST, CUTTING TIE WITH FRIENDS, READING NEW BOOKS, FAERIE MESSAGES, FAERIE GUARDIANS....do you want me to go on... because I can.... I have a whole year's worth of your copying off me here! ... Leave Me Alone! Stop Stalking! Stop CYBER BULLYING me! and STOP using my personal experiences to massage your ego so you come off sounding good using my insights!!!

Seriously DARLING!!! You have picked the wrong Witch to P**s off! So do everyone a favour and just QUIT IT! Its not good!

No doubt you'll crawl back to your page and blabber on about "being original... and not copying others... and that your the victim... and your being copied..."BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Seriously! Grow up, Admit you're in the wrong and STOP IT!!!! ©

Happy Christmas!

Oh and another thing STALKER!!!! ALL MY WORK IS COPYRIGHTED!!! © <<< See COPYRIGHT!!!! And TIMED!!!!! So everyone can see who wrote it first!!!!!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Au Revouir!

My Journey in Kabbalah & Life

Well I had better tell you what's been happening in my life in the past month. Writing it down might help me process it.

I've been on a rollercoaster journey in my relationship with my man. It was a nightmare. Not his fault, all mine. I accept full responsibility for everything that happened. Im not going to go into depth about it, it's far too personal. Needless to say, the past week or so has called me to really look at my life.

As you will be aware I have hardly blogged this year, in all honesty I haven't had the time to blog which breaks my heart. I have had less time to practice Wicca and something I am quite fond of is Moon Magick and Candle Magick. They too have been neglected. Actually the only part of my life that hasn't been neglected has been my work at the school, which has of course caused *imbalanced* areas in my life. :( This makes me sad!

Well, over the weekend My man & I went shopping for Yule/Christmas and I came across some books in a bookstore. He knows me well enough to not let me pass one by without browsing. He purchased a book on crystals for me that I haven't got which now lives at the side of the bed at his place, for when Im there. The other book that caught my eye was called "Total Kabbalah" by Maggy Whitehouse.

Now Kabbalah is a topic that I've heard about, witnessed in the media with the likes of The Beckhams and Madonna, but I've never actually read about it other than a quick read of a website page where I was introduced to the *Power of Money*. It encouraged us to actively question "Who or what gives *money* power over us?" After all it is merely paper and metal.... what if I gave you a blank piece of paper or even drew on it that it was a million pound/dollar note... would you believe me? Why or Why not? Its still paper.... !!! I loved this terminolgy and viewpoint.

Anyway, I spent a few sessions reading this kabbalah book and what ive read so far (which is minimal!) has really struck a chord with me. It's offering me a way to address, focus and find the areas in my life that are stuck and *fix* them. Now I know I don't need the permission from *kabbalah* or any other belief/life system to sort out my life, but at the minute with how *low* I am feeling, Kabbalah is giving me the strength to move forward. I have a new awareness and fresh perspective on life. I've ordered me some additional books on Kabbalah too, so Im looking forward to those arriving, and having a read. Im particularly looking forward to *God Wears Lipstick*.

Don't get me wrong, I haven't read a few paragraphs and suddenly life is perfect, far from it! I Have lots of issues that still need to be worked on, ones you'd probably not expect me to have, but Kabbalah has given me *HOPE*. So much so I have already sent off for my *Red String*. I don't necessarily belief a piece of red string is going to protect me from harm or the evil eye, but what I do believe is that it will help me focus on my life and creating a better life for me, and my future.

I know that as I walk into 2012, the Chinese year of the Dragon, the year I was born in, I know things will change, like never before. They have to because I will be in the driving seat. And Im not interested in driving down the highway at 80MPH, but Im happy to take the country roads at 20-30MPH for a change. I am NO longer the person I was when I first started this blog, for better or for worse, but I am who I am! People grow, people change. Its only natural. People come into your life for a reason, but sometimes they don't stay. They might out of a feeling of pity or because they feel they have to. But they/you/I shouldn't feel like that, there really is no need. So I am cutting strings. I have to. I can't grow otherwise. I thank those connections for what they have shown me, taught me, given me, shared with me, I bless and release us both!

My pathway with Wicca has changed. I'm not ready to let it go completely, but I will have to try again with it. I will have to take a day at a time and try to organise my life. I also need to allow myself to attract new friends into my life. I really do have hardly any. I have spent so much of my life holding back from trusting people that many have become people I speak to. I can't say that there is one person right now who truly knows me as a friend. Life happened and we drift apart, but the only reason we have drifted is because neither of us (multiple friendships im talking about here!) have taken the time and care to stay in each others lives. Not really. It's a case of being civil and polite, but the magick is no longer there, no freiendship chemistry... this happens in life, it's happened to me before, it'll happen again. it's a sign that we're growing as spiritual beings.

So maybe my next blog will inform you of more Kabbalah updates, and perhaps some Wiccan ones too.

Onwards & Upwards ~ Ascension Style

Merry Meet my lovely little Witchlings,

Well You will be pleased to hear (at least I hope will be) that since I decided to take back my own power two days ago, my life is getting truly amazing!!

I got up this morning with such a spring in my step I haven't been able to stop smiling! Seriously. I even texted my Sis Pixie Allen over at Pixie's Musings this morning with my excitement at how positive I am feeling. <<< Did you see that? I said "I AM FEELING" not "I was feeling" !!! Seeeeeeeee I told you I was feeling fabulous, bet you didn't believe me did you??? Ahh well anyway, It all began when I started reading a Law fo Attraction book, And I really read it. I even stuck post it notes in the best parts. They are still stuck there to be honest. Then I decided that I wanted to not just teach about Faeries and nothing else. Yes Faeries are huge part of who I am, but not the whole complete package. I wanted to teach about crystals and herbs and ascension! So I took back my power and started doing just that on my facebook page. (Which by the way you are all most welcome to come and join. Click here to *like* my page and join)
Since this my own personal energy has dramatically improved to the state im at now. I can't wait to fly higher on this wonderful energy Im experiencing right now. Im attracting more and more people to my page & profile, new friends who are of the higher spiritual energy. Then it clicked *CLICK* (LOL) I'm not supposed to teach all the basic stuff... of course I can drop the odd bits in to help those of the Lower-Higher energies, but I'm supposed to teach about the Ascension Process and how all these spiritual beings are there helping us. To do this I HAVE to incorporate my Faerie Wiccan pathway. All this equals a hugely happy me. In fact when I say I feel happy, *happy* doesnt even touch it.

Today I was thinking about ascension before having a bath (as you do!) and I found myself becoming aware of all this new faerie energy, more powerful and elightened that I'd experienced before. They were of the Elemental Masters Soul Group and they communicated to me all about the ascension process and how they are helping us and Mother Earth to ascend. So I'm going to write about it. Not just yet, but when they ask me to.

Right now, Im refreshing my memory on all the things I know about ascension and am teaching people through my page on facebook and through my writing. Thoth visited me last night to tell me that he's here when I need him to help me with my writing. I feel so peaceful knowing that The Goddess is looking out for me, and that Thoth is there guiding me.

I will tell you the 5th dimensional chakra colours that you can meditate with instead of the *normal* colours. If you feel ready, you can now open the related chakras to the following colours;

Base Chakra ~ Platinum
Sacral Chakra ~ A luminous Pale Pink
Navel Chakra ~ A glowing Orange
Solar Plexus Chakra ~ Gold
Heart Chakra ~ White
Throat Chakra ~ Royal Blue
Third Eye Chakra ~ Transparent (like a crystal ball)
Crown Chakra ~ Crystal of the thousand Petalled Lotus
Causal Chakra~ Pure White (located above & slightly behind the crown chakra)
Soul Star Chakra ~ Magenta
Stellar Gateway ~ Gold


On a more normal front, yesterday was my beautiful Princess Pepsie's 12th Birthday!She had a gorgeous Pink Princess tent bought for her and even her very own star wand. No im not crazy... or a parent... Pepsie is my little Kitty!! So Happy Birthday to her!!! She had a fabulous day and is all party pooped out! To be honest, we're all quite tired. Im tired because Ive been up since half 5 this morning. I slept downstairs you see... oh don't ask, it involved a huge black moth flying around my room the night before that I happened to have thought was a bat!!

Ahhh well, there you go, another update into the Witch Inside's life.

Random Ramblings

Didn't really know what I wanted to discuss on here tonight, so thought a Random Ramble might be in good order. I just wanted to connect with you all again, and as my super sis said, I just wanted to *Write from my heart*.

I'm working more with crystal energies which is fantastic as I havent felt comfortable with them for a long time, but now, Im discovering a new love for Tigers Eye, Lemurian Seed Quartz, Moldavite and Black Tourmaline. Oh and Moonstone. I cant seem to get on with Rose Quartz at the moment, I'm very receptive to it right now which is a shame.

The past few nights, I've been having strange dreams, last night I dreamt my postman (who is very friendly) decided to send me a note to let me know he wasnt doing his rounds for a week or so cause he'd got Man-Flu.... seriously what was that dream about?!! LOL Crazy Faerie Witch!

On a hugely positive note, University have contacted me today after like 3 months to tell me I can in fact resubmit my last assignment to gain another 30 credit points!! WooHoo!! That has seriously cheered this witch up.

Mum & I are getting on a heck of a lot more, not that we have huge rows, just that we can get quite ratty with each other. We're making plans and having a laugh now.

I got a new WormWood plant too!!!! Im in love with this beauty. Its definately male, and is coming along lovely, so quickly. I am hoping to go back and get another one... no not for me, Im not greedy, but to send in the snail mail all the way to Blackpool to my lovely sis.

im becoming a lot more domesticated of late too! I know, thats a tough one to picture isnt it? I can now boil a kettle and switch the washing machine on LOL

I feel that I want to work more with Ascended Masters, and have been *playing* with my Ascended Master cards, and jotting down writing ideas for articles I want to write. I now need a good kick up the witchy bum to write them lol.

Right well I hope this blog has been of interest to you, and that you're still awake, if you are, well done!!

Blog Soon!!

Witchy Blessings,
