Figs and Wine

So today I'm going to talk about why I"m a Wiccan. I've been a Wiccan since I was around twelve and even though I had to leave the path, or at least make it look as though I had, I still had Wiccan beliefs and I still did things like meditation and focusing my intention. These things you don't need tools to be able to do, but you need to practice and grow. And that does take time. I'm a Wiccan because that's what I feel connected with and what I love to practice. I see the magic in everything and I feel that Wicca is a path that recognizes that and honors that. Now there will be things that I don't agree with or doesn't feel like they mean anything to me. I don't follow the Rede, I believe in balance, and I don't believe in archetypes. I believe in things that can be proven and not just because it's something that others think are great. I love Wicca, even if I don't agree with what other Wiccans believe. And that's just fine.

So I've decided to lose some weight. The reason for this is that I want to be healthy and not end up like my mother. So the first thing that I did was cut out the Starbucks and just drink regular coffee. I'm also going to get something to help me lose weight. Will be interesting and an good offering to Artemis/Diana.

Summer is only a couple of days old and I'm really glad that we finally have some cool weather. It didn't feel as though the gods were hitting us with hot weather. Of course that's not the case in all the parts of the United States, but, at least, we have some relief. Of course I'm not a fool to believe that it will last.

Sometimes nothing will happen and I won't have anything to talk about. Makes me wonder how many times that will happen.

Tonight I celebrated the New Moon and I enjoyed the peace and quiet that comes with it. I honored the gods, gave thanks, and gave offerings. No magical workings, just honoring them.

I decided to spend some time outside, even though I chose the morning when it was still bearable. The weather has been acting like it should, though I do feel sorry for those in Louisiana that's been hit with tropical storm Cindy. I sent energy down there to help those out.
