Personal Bio

***If you are applying to the Coven Practical Witches, please explain WHY you want to join, and what you have to offer. Thanks!*** ***I see a lot of people on this site acting like magic is all about D&D. If you are of that ilk, please don't bother messaging me. I do not believe that one can become a vampire, physical werewolf, or any other fantasy nonsense. Do not tell me you are an ancient Vampire, Demon, or Elf, or a super powerful mage. I will give you a verbal lashing! I am willing to share information, and help people who are truly interested in REAL witchcraft.*** Name: Aelwyn Daeira Meaning: Knowledge of the Hearth Occupation: Disabled/Makeup Artistry Student/Artisan Path: Hellenic Hard Polytheist and Haegtessa, Hoodoo/Conjure learner Age: 29 Time Studying Witchcraft/Occult: over 20 years, now Divination Forms: -Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle -a specialized crystal reading (similar to Runes) -scrying (crystal ball, black mirror, candle, fire, smoke, etc) Magical Interests: -Faery magic -Night flying/crossing the hedge/astral travel -meditation -Reiki -kitchen magic -wortcunning -tapping the bone -trancework -Hoodoo Fave TV Shows: -NCIS -Supernatural -Ghost Whisperer -Criminal Minds -Bare Beauty -Castle -The Mentalist -The Listener -True Blood -Eastwick Fave Music: -Wendy Rule -Heather Dale -Reclaiming -Laura Powers -Lisa Thiel -Dragon Ritual Drummers -Emerald Rose -Omnia -Korpiklaani -Tyr -Better Than Ezra -Matchbox Twenty -Finger Eleven Fave Holy Days: -Samhain -Beltaine -Nemoralia -Feast of Hekate -Night of Hekate Fave Ritual Tools: -blasting rod (small willow wand) -stang (forked staff) -lamb's skull -censer -mortar and pestle -glass knife used for herb cutting (just got this for my birthday!) -Masonic cane (handmade by a 4th level Scottish Rite of Canada Freemason) -bone handled knife Hobbies: -makeup -baking -cooking -loom knitting -crafting -writing -reading -learning -watching bad horror movies -witchcrafting -makeup Websites: http://hedgewitchhollow.blogspot.com http://aelwynshalloween.blogspot.com http://www.youtube.com/user/Aelwyndaeira I am a Hekatine Haegtessa, who recently began practicing Hoodoo (or Conjure). I have an interest in wortcunning, Cornish Witchcraft, Sabbatic Witchcraft, Cunningfolk, Hoodoo, divination, and working with spirits and Otherkin. I have worked in Wiccan covens, and was initiated to Dedicant status, but did not take my 1st degree, as I decided that was not the path for me. Wicca is an INITIATORY MYSTERY TRADITION. If anyone says otherwise, I WILL argue with them. Hekate is my Matron, and Pan is my Patron. I work mostly with Hekate, as She seems to be the dominant Deity in my life. I honour Mary (Mother of God) as a throw-back to my past life as an Irish Catholic Nun. I am happy to help anyone--new to the Path or old. I will never call myself a mentor or a teacher, but I do have a lot of information I can share, and also a lot of contacts in the Pagan/Occult world so I can find information you may need, so feel free to ask. ***WARNING: I believe strongly in ''mundane before magical'', and am strongly opinionated. If I smell bull-hockey-pucks, I'll call it. PLEASE DO NOT ''SPELL BEG''!!!!*** I am also a copyright fanatic---so if you don't post copyright on something that you haven't written, expect me to call you on it! As an author, this is my BIGGEST pet peeve. Most of the time I can tell just by looking at an article where it is from (since I am quite well read through the 'net and books).
