I am so sorry for not posting as much as I should, it has been a tough few weeks that I am attempting to puzzel through but I am gradually feeling a little better. I thank you for keeping me in your thoughts, it is hard for me to express how I feel to those who offer support outside of this, I find that I can talk freely in here and that is the biggest gift anyone can ever give me at this point in my journey.
I have come to terms with the loss of my ally and although the loss of my baby is still a little much for me, I am trying to continue with my casting and rituals.
I do pray that things will eventually get better and I am able to help others, I will be thinking of you all on november 14th (Honey cakes and fires.) Although Deity worship was not really my stand-point, I have been talking to Maria Padilha recently as I find that I am shutting out my boyfriend a little. Also I find that I have been talking to Hecate a little more which I haven't really done in a long time, I have found some sort of answers and solice in feeling the earth around me, I have taken walks and talked in the hope that someone would hear me. I feel a little more at peace and I have cleansed my home again to keep the sadness at bay. All in all, I was solitary since my grandmother passed away. I find strength in knowing that you are all here. I hope that I can help you all at some point. xx
Lorelei, I talk with Hecate everyday. She is my inner peace and strength and I hope you find that for yourself. I have had you in my thoughts and I empathize with your pain. If you need to talk, I am here to listen, as I know other wonderful members of this coven are, as well.
Lorelei, i feel your pains. I hope everything gets better for u. I'll include u in my prayers. If u need somebody to talk with, feel free to pm me anytime. We are a family.. we are here for each other.
Sorry I have not been more active in this coven. Due to some unfortunate deaths around me, I have gone inward..and just concentrated on my children and family..the loss of my grandmother hit me the hardest, and now we are coming up to her birthday as the holidays roll in..I will try to make an effort to be here more...thank you- With Love-MM
I have made my honey cakes this evening, I made each in the image of the people I have lost, I made some in the image of the full moon and I have made some for you all on here. I pray for each of you and the kindness you have shown me, I will pray for each of you and Just so you lot know... They taste REALLY nice! Which is a turn up for the books, I didn't think I would be able to pull it off this year without Mince and with the going on in my life right now but it seems that they have come out just lovely. I personally think I have you all to thank, the warmth and caring nature you have all shown me has given me some peace. Thank you. xxxxx
Honey cakes-I love the ritual. Very kitchen-witch and homey. That always makes me better. I am so glad you had success with them. I know that every step helps. Thank you for your lovely wishes, Lorelei.
I am a fairly new member. Though I am qualified to share a lot of knowledge (and will if it is asked of me) in other areas, ie Native Medicine, Shamanism, Reiki, Tarot etc I know nothing about Gypsy Magick...so I do not post spells and other things I know of as I thought that would be distracting from the focus of this Coven.
I joined to learn, so my motto when I do not know about something is listen twice as much as I speak ;-)
Again, I am willing to share lots of things but they are not Gypsy in nature so they don't seem to fit here. If I can help or share things I know just ask :-)
I actually crave knowledge. I studied other areas of the art and found that romany traditions are from just about everywhere. Being travellers and all, they picked up a piece of culture from every part of the world I think. It is a bautiful thing, as with all areas of witchcraft, it evolves and moves with the times so saying that it is a stationary thing would be entirely inaccuarate. The mixed culture and comforting rituals always draws me back to gypsy witchcraft though. (that and of course how I was raised.) I do think that ALL aspects of witchcraft very colourful and amazingly estimated (Meaning that it doesn't go on EXACT ammounts of anything when casting.) I believe it to be the most delicate of all art forms and it makes me proud to be practicing and sharing with all of you.
