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.

Nomadic, Wiccan RVer

2:14pm.  The day is flowing along nicely.  The Goddess, God and I are getting along quite well and my thoughts, dreams, goals and ideals are solidifying into my keenest passions and desires.

I took a walking along the Fraser River her in New Westminster along the quay and what is now Pier Park.  As I was walking the thought came to me that my ideal situation is to be, that I am, to speak in the present tense, a Nomadic, Wiccan, RVer.  I want to be of no fixed address and never have a clear destination in mind.  I just want to drive my old RV along the old highways and bi-ways of this continent we live on and just “be”.

I want to and expect to meet like-minded people along the way and find ways to pay my way whether it be to sell handcrafted cards, perform ventriloquism, do Spiritual Readings or to accept donations “just because” or to help me complete a yet to be named hobby I plan to take up in my RV.

Maybe there are some folks out there who need or who are willing to “hire” a witch”? 

Anyhoo, this is what is now calling out to me, always has been really as I’ve always longed to be on the road driving, driving to nowhere yet always arriving somewhere important to me.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

IV The Emperor

I had an enjoyable day yesterday.  I spent the day mostly relaxing and reading.  However, I did get a couple of loads of laundry done, made breakfast fruit squares for my partner and I assembled a few crafting items together that I purchased long ago but have never used.  I will try my hand at selling them on Craigslist.

As I was reading all things pagan, wiccan, and witchy I thought to myself that I’m all three of these if I must wear a label and in fact I dislike being labeled in such a way because it is so limiting and constricting of my much larger identity as is for any of us.  We are all multifaceted and unique individuals such that specific labels cannot really capture who we are and fact should only be used in a very general sense so we are not bound to the perceptions such labels evoke in others.  For instance, in addition to being pagan, wiccan, and a witch, I’m also a craft's person, RVer, amateur ventriloquist, model railroad enthusiast, and (blog) writer.
Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “IV The Emperor: Sometimes one must be a benevolent despot.  Organization.  Taking charge.  An authority figure.  Utilizing discipline to provide a structure for creativity.”  As I started to go through my crafting tools and supplies yesterday to sort through them I felt a great sense of relief as I added many items to a pile of things I intend to sell and get rid of.  I have much more to go through I’m sure and this heavy anchor I’ve been lugging around for many years has finally disappeared.  De-cluttering and organizing sure has a way to lift weight off of one’s shoulders and lighten the mood and improve the energy of a place and/or space. 

I owe my efforts to reading the archived posts of a new blog I discovered over the weekend, “Wiccan Writes”.  Thank you Robin Larkspur for your encouraging words and calm and gentle spirit.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
