Brain Burn
Ok on this fine morning at 1:30am I am feeling rather overwhelmed and a bit confused. I have been working on doing a ritual for myself to ask Lady Brigid to help me with my weight loss . However, I have written two rituals so far, and still have not done it. I feel like there is so much to learn that my brain is one big mess. Along with going to traditional school I am studying my faith all the time. So I feel like so much information is being put in, but none is coming out. Does that make sense? :) The problem is there is so much more to learn. Aaaahhhh :) However, I am so excited to learn it. The first thing that I am really going to concentrate on is candle magick and essential oils . I want to be able to list what color of candle is meant for what magick, and the same for the essential oils. I read an article today that if you are having a craving for "bad" food, and you are not hungry but emotional, bored, etc then smell Peppermint oil and it will help the craving go away. So I am going to try this for sure. Hopefully I will get to go to the best little shop in town Eye of Nuit in White Oak, PA tomorrow and get the supplies I need. So, I'm going to concentrate on memorization of these, and once I have them down then I will move on to something else. :) Well I don't have any followers yet, but it's nice to think that someone is reading my musings. So goodnight all it's past time for bed. Blessed be. :)

Absolutely Marvelous Day
I had the best day today. Last night my fiance and I went out to a bar with a friend for karaoke. It was an absolute blast. I was able to break out of my shell, and I sang a few songs. I got quite a few compliments on my voice so that was a confidence booster. On top of that the owner of the bar came up to me as we were leaving and said that she just had to tell me that I'm a beautiful woman. Awe, that was so sweet. So I woke up this morning with a great attitude for the day. My fiance, our friend, and I drove up to the mountains today, and it was absolutely amazing. Today was a beautiful day, and we just sat and visited and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the mountains with the Goddess.
I kept asking my fiance if he could feel that. :) The vibration was so amazing. I could just feel myself connecting to the the earth and the air. I could sense every time a wind gust was coming, and I just closed my eyes and felt every part of it. Being at the beginning of my journey down the Wiccan path everything is new and wonderful, and every feeling is magnified ten times. Also, one of my goals in going to the mountains was to find a wand for myself. It was amazing because as soon as I sat down on the bench my eyes were drawn to the perfect one for me. I went over and picked it up and just knew it was the one. I was so excited that it came to me from the ground rather than having to cut a branch. I whittled away the top layer to reveal such beautiful colors underneath. I'm so excited to begin using it.
I came home this evening feeling energized and awakened to the fact that I need to dive in even further. My Teacher has a dream of opening a whole new world to the pagan community. Coming out of the shadows is her goal for us, and I want to dive into her dream with both feet and help us move forward for the next generation of pagans. So, my hope with this blog is to help even in some small way to help others understand what the Wiccan path is. Also to teach people not to view the world through their pre-conceived ideas and beliefs. Nothing bothers me more than someone spouting off about a subject that they are completely uneducated about. It's time that people take on the responsibility of educating themselves, and reach out for understanding from those who have already taught themselves.
So in this blog I will talk about things happening in my journey, and help pass on the things that I have learned and am learning. I want to end each blog with something I have learned in hopes that I may help others.
I've Learned:
That I can only learn so much from books. :) I love to read and read, but if I don't practice and try what I am learning then I will never be able to develop fully. So, my goal is to continue learning, but have the confidence to practice what I am studying.
