The "8 of Cups" and Being a Witch

Tuesday, May 5, 2015.  I took it easy yesterday, as easy as I could make myself take considering I have a hard time sitting still.  But I was feeling under the weather so I chose not to go to the gym.  So I read a few pages out of two issues of Witches and Pagans magazine which gave me some much needed spiritual lift and encouragement.  I felt spiritually awesome going to bed but had a bit of a nightmare where I subconsciously said that I was a "failure".  Luckily though, I had spiritual kick in the butt and was told that I cannot think that way then I quickly fell asleep.

I awoke feeling a bit lethargic and unprepared to get out of bed let alone open my eyes however that's what I did.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the “8 of Cups: Farewell.  Moving on.  Leaving behind a person, a situation, or a part of yourself"

How fitting to see the “8 of Cups" and how thankful I am to identify where I need to make changes and what I need to let go of and let slip into the past.  Pessimism, self-doubt, and revolving worries, and anxiety over things that are done and over with.  I have to move on.  Also, I need to move things in the direction I want them to go.

The first move I'm making right now is to acknowledge and declare that I'm a "witch", the second is to move away from my lackadaisical and lazy approach to Wicca, Witchcraft, Tarot, and magickal practice and take up a more focused, real, and spiritually enriched study and practice of each of them.  I believe and have faith in being a real and practising witch and wish to embrace this through living and breathing the energy, spirit, and magic of the witch.

The goddess and god I identified with more than a decade ago are Freya and Bacchus, more recently enamoured with a gypsy goddess and god as I really believe that I belong on the road travelling with no clear destination in mind only knowing that I need to drive and interact with people I meet along the way.

I still feel that way but for now I'm a model railroad building witch.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
