An Introduction to Me and My Magical Life
|
Merry Meet! Thank you for showing an interest
in me! I call this site Mistic
House which
is a term for a special private
magical place
in my life used for ritual. This
site is
essentially a hobby, so it will
be an ever
changing one. Unfortunately my
work is demanding
and time consuming sometimes
which is always
going to prevent me from my "creative
playtime". So sometimes
I've slapped
things up on it to quickly just
as my own
"design gesture" or
to figure out
exactly how I may want it to
look. Over time
it's going to evolve into something
different.
I'm not spending much time promoting
it yet
because it's still a work in
progress.
I'm 38 years old and I was a witch before
I really knew what it meant.
I was raised
in a non-religious but spiritual
home, so
I understood very early the unique
qualities
to different belief systems.
My childhood,
like many others, is full of
obvious signs.
Believing in and knowing about
past lives
was truly my first independent
spiritual
belief which came from some experiences
I
had. As a child my family traveled
a lot,
and we spent lots of time at
many beaches
on the East Coast. The beach
remains a special
place to me because of it's magical
qualities.
But my childhood was far from
pleasant.
I'm the child of a severe alcoholic and the
family suffered spiritually,
financially,
emotionally, and intellectually
from my father's
alcoholism. When I grew up I
suffered the
effects, and I knew it didn't
HAVE to affect
me. I was naturally rebellious
and a deep
thinker so it made me search
for answers
inside and out. I discovered
my spiritual
side very early, at a time in
life when most
people are still living the party.
I had
my moment of enlightenment in
my very early
20's and it was a profound experience
for
me. Now, as an adult I know and
fully understand
that my childhood adversity was
really a
gift. It made me work harder,
it made me
want better, it made me smarter,
and it made
me strong.
Over the years I studied philosophy, psychology,
sociology, spirituality, various
religions,
divination techniques, and the
like both
personally and through various
courses. I
eventually settled on Wicca as
my personal
belief system. I have been devoted
to Wicca
as my path for over 13 years
now. I consider
myself an eclectic solitary non-fluffy
bunny
wiccan and I follow the Aridian
Path of Stregheria
primarily. Learning never ends,
so I will
continue to learn and grow.
I am a born rebel, I am a non-conformist,
and I believe that life is meant
to be questioned
and that the walls of normalcy
are meant
to be broken down. Many of my
interests,
even since childhood have been
"alternative".
Yet I have a strong set of morals
and ethics
that also lead me. I'm also extremely
playful,
witty, curious, smart, and I
have a remarkable
memory. I also have the ability
to see through
people and situations easily
which allow
me to get to the bottom line
quickly. My
natural ability to 'see the Forrest
for the
Trees" has also always helped
me by
guiding my senses to literally
see what lies
ahead. I want to note that I
consider that
very separate from my empathic
talents, because
I use them differently.
I believe religion and spirituality are extremely
personal and private, between
you or me and
our gods. I also believe that
not every single
moment in life is meant to be
spiritual,
I don't believe in "new
age" pop
psychology in my religion. I
believe that
there is a time and place to
pay my bills,
to have normal conversations
with others,
and to have moments even away
from it. Too
much over indulgence of any kind
keeps us
from facing our reality, and
my reality is
a part of the mundane world where
my actions
affect others. I keep religion
a non-topic
with the people I work with,
or even with
several friends that I have.
For me, this
is a more practical way to live
a full and
balanced life. I am, as they
say, "in
the broom closet" however;
it is by
choice. I choose not to flash
my religion
everywhere, not to do it for
appearance's
sake by showing off. I am not
looking to
win an "I am more spiritual
then you"
contest nor do I want everyone
to notice
how "cool" I am.
I also believe that to know light, we must
also know some darkness and all
of us have
some primal darkness buried deep
inside.
Denying it or hiding it means
we are not
experiencing our true selves.
Buried within
all of us is a core being that
we never fully
experience or show to others,
and the traits
of that core come out of us in
small pieces.
I have always been naturally intuitive and
always a truth seeker. I've always
easily
seen through people, and able
to cut through
smoke screens to find that truth.
I studied
Tarot, Astrology, Scrying, the
Pendulum,
Meditation, healing techniques,
through every
method you can imagine. I was
a member of
the ATA - American Tarot Association
where
I completed the classic courses
and certification
exams (as a Professional Tarot
Reader). I
was asked to be a mentor. My
work is demanding
and time was a concern, however
I regret
missing out on an opportunity
to grow as
a "teacher". I highly
suggest this
program to anyone wanting to
learn how to
read the cards. Their code of
ethics is absolutely
essential.
Many years ago I worked on the major psychic
lines that were advertised on
TV in the 90's.
I very quickly became discouraged
with it
because the advertising and marketing
tactics
were a little "cheap".
I enjoyed
working from home, but there
was a moral
conflict for me since I do not
believe I
should personally "charge"
someone
for a reading. My readings lean
toward spiritual
conflicts and are my favorites
to give….
so the place I was at mentally
during this
time was not at all suited for
it. For me,
it was just a bunch of "fortune
telling"
rather then true guidance or
help. While
it is something that is not suited
to me,
that doesn't mean I find all
"psychics
or readers as negative. Not at
all! To each
his own and we all have our own
paths. My
personal path just doesn't include
charging
to read the cards, to do spells,
or to teach
the craft. (please don't ask,
I am asked
too often) Also I live in a state
where old
law still exist that considers
fortune telling
to be "illegal" if
you charge for
it. I did get something of value
from working
on those tacky psychic lines,
I learned many
new things from it, and that
still made it
worthwhile to do.
I've always been creative and far more intelligent
then I gave myself credit for.
It's been
a part of my growth. I've got
a crazy twisted
sense of humor and the ability
to get along
with any type of personality.
I'm well traveled,
educated, and well versed on
many topics.
I've been married happily for
15 years and
childless by choice. My marriage
and relationship
with my husband is something
I am extremely
proud of. It's a true partnership
that expresses
maturity and responsibility....
yet childish
fun, and it's supportive on both
sides. I
have an active social life and
I am usually
busy with my business and my
family. I do
still have my childhood best
friend in my
life, a gorgeous "god"
daughter,
my crazy animals, assorted friends,
yearly
travel, and lots of personal
hobbies.
