Everything Under the Moon

I actually have a lot of "cauldrons." I inherited all of my grandmother's cast iron pots, and I love them all. I have a very small potbelly cauldron that I use for incense. I have one that I use for water scrying. I have an antique cauldron (which used to be an old fashioned firestarter) t...

If that then you don't need anything at all except for the intention? Bingo. The props and ritual are only to help you focus your intent, your willpower. If you can do that without the toys, then go for it. That's how I've always practiced. I actually find the props distracting. I prefer to cast em...

Thanks to everyone for all of your advice. I have been pondering all of your responses. I think I'm going to have to stop sitting at the crossroads, get up off my butt and start walking my path again. I hardly know where to begin, though. Years ago, I had been a Wiccan, but I don't really know what ...

I guess the guilt comes from a number of factors. I willfully chose not to do my job, which is like watching someone drown and choosing not to throw out a life preserver. And it could be that I'm feeling the guilt of all the other premonitions that I inadvertently ignored. I've had premonitions wher...

Hi Vendredi, I know I should let go of my guilt. He's tried to convince me of that ever since the very first dream. The problem is that I know I'm guilty, and no amount of rationalizing can change that. He's argued that he had free will and made his own choices in life, and it had nothing to do with...

Hi Lady Lilith, How have you confirmed this besides being told about it? I'm not sure what you're referring to. Are you talking about his "present?" He actually didn't tell me anything. All he did was give me a tiny hint, but it was enough to help me finally put all the pieces together. In...

Hi Becks, I guess whether or not to call it "dating" is a matter of semantics. To me, dating is when you're just getting to know someone. I suppose the early dream phase could qualify, but that's not where we're at now. There's a deep spiritual bond between us, and I wouldn't be at all sur...

Hi Lady Lilith, He is in the otherworld. He's not earthbound. And I don't think I'd call it "dating." It's not like we go out to dinner and a movie! He's my guide and protector, and keeping me safe is part of his job. I don't really think he's a plain vanilla ghost, either. Just to give an...

Wicca was kind of the springboard that introduced me to the world. I was interested in paganism, so I started reading about ancient paganism, myths and legends, ancient history and culture, ancient philosophy, and I even took a pagan pilgrimage to Egypt, Greece, and the UK. I delved into my own ance...

When I saw the title of this thread, I just started giggling, because it brought back memories of my own dedication "scare." I had been an atheist for several years, when I had an epiphany about finding Divinity through Nature, and eventually I stumbled upon Wicca. I was still a little ske...

Hi nicola, Thank you so much for sharing that with me! It's always reassuring to know that other people have gone through the same thing. I'm glad to hear that my experience might have helped you in some way. :) I found it fascinating that your "friend" changed his appearance, because mine...

Hi Vendredi, Thanks for the reply. I'm sure you're right that I'm blaming myself unfairly. I always tried to do what was right, and I didn't knowingly reject him. I think that's why finding out the truth blindsided me so much. For all those years, I had no clue. Part of the reason why this bothers m...

I have a very long and very convoluted story that would probably take a novel to explain. I've been trying to figure out how to tell it, so I'm just going to try to boil it down to the simplest parts. 1) Years ago, I had a premonition that a guy my age was going to die. At the time, I was thinking a...

So, I have a little confession to make. I'm not currently a practicing witch. Years ago, I had a fairly traumatic experience involving my premonitions, and I've been a little twitchy about magic and spirituality ever since then. I still have the premonitions, but I'm honestly kind of afraid to keep ...

Much better. Thank you so much!
