Yule

Yes I celebrate the pagan holiday Yule, it is on December 21st. Christmas has the same customs as Yule to a point, they worship there God we worship your Goddess's and Gods. They decorate, we decorate. They give gifts and we give gifts the list goes on and on. I never thought it would be so wonderful in be a Pagan/Wiccan. I have so much to be thankful this year. I have a job , a roof over my head, and the most wonderful person that I truly care for. She is my life and would do anything for. The way I act, think and believe has change for the better, I never knew changing my faith would make me such a better person was I ever so wrong. I don't regret it. and I will never go back to being a Christian, for all my christian friends and family I am sorry I do not follow your ways. I was never motivated as a Christian. Being a Wiccan has motivated in such a way that I can't explain in words. I just know that I am happy and have found what I been looking for all my life. I have found complete happiness and thats is what most important it doesn't matter what your faith is, it is that you believe in something and are happy

I want to wish every one a the greastest of holidays no matter if you celebrate Yule or Christmas, may the holidays be of the greatest time for you and your family. For my friends here is my imformation on Yule as promised. This is Yule and what it means and why I celebrate it.

Yule December 21st

Yule, (pronounced EWE-elle) is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. Known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, much celebration was to be had as the ancestors awaited the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth and made her to bear forth from seeds protected through the fall and winter in her womb. Bonfires were lit in the fields, and crops and trees were "wassailed" with toasts of spiced cider.

Children were escorted from house to house with gifts of clove spiked apples and oranges which were laid in baskets of evergreen boughs and wheat stalks dusted with flour. The apples and oranges represented the sun, the boughs were symbolic of immortality, the wheat stalks portrayed the harvest, and the flour was accomplishment of triumph, light, and life. Holly, mistletoe, and ivy not only decorated the outside, but also the inside of homes. It was to extend invitation to Nature Sprites to come and join the celebration. A sprig of Holly was kept near the door all year long as a constant invitation for good fortune to pay visit to the residents.

The ceremonial Yule log was the highlight of the festival. In accordance to tradition, the log must either have been harvested from the householder's land, or given as a gift... it must never have been bought. Once dragged into the house and placed in the fireplace it was decorated in seasonal greenery, doused with cider or ale, and dusted with flour before set ablaze be a piece of last years log, (held onto for just this purpose). The log would burn throughout the night, then smolder for 12 days after before being ceremonially put out. Ash is the traditional wood of the Yule log. It is the sacred world tree of the Teutons, known as Yggdrasil. An herb of the Sun, Ash brings light into the hearth at the Solstice.

A different type of Yule log, and perhaps one more suitable for modern practitioners would be the type that is used as a base to hold three candles. Find a smaller branch of oak or pine, and flatten one side so it sets upright. Drill three holes in the top side to hold red, green, and white (season), green, gold, and black (the Sun God), or white, red, and black (the Great Goddess). Continue to decorate with greenery, red and gold bows, rosebuds, cloves, and dust with flour.

Deities of Yule are all Newborn Gods, Sun Gods, Mother Goddesses, and Triple Goddesses. The best known would be the Dagda, and Brighid, the daughter of the Dagda. Brighid taught the smiths the arts of fire tending and the secrets of metal work. Brighid's flame, like the flame of the new light, pierces the darkness of the spirit and mind, while the Dagda's cauldron assures that Nature will always provide for all the children.

What is Samhain

What Is Samhain


Samhain is known by most folks as Halloween, but for Wiccans and Pagans it's considered a Sabbat to honor the ancestors who came before us. It's a good time to contact the spirit world with a seance, because it's the time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest.
Myths and Misconceptions:

Contrary to a popular Internet-based (and Chick Tract-encouraged) rumor, Samhain was not the name of some ancient Celtic god of death, or of anything else, for that matter. Religious scholars agree that the word Samhain (pronounced "sow-en") comes from the Gaelic “Samhuin,” but they’re divided on whether it means the end or beginning of summer. After all, when summer is ending here on earth, it’s just beginning in the Underworld. Samhain actually refers to the daylight portion of the holiday, on November 1st.
All Hallow Mass:

Around the eighth century or so, the Catholic Church decided to use November 1st as All Saints Day. This was actually a pretty smart move on their part – the local pagans were already celebrating that day anyway, so it made sense to use it as a church holiday. All Saints’ became the festival to honor any saint who didn’t already have a day of his or her own. The mass which was said on All Saints’ was called Allhallowmas – the mass of all those who are hallowed. The night before naturally became known as All Hallows Eve, and eventually morphed into what we call Halloween.
The Witch's New Year:

Sunset on Samhain is the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The old year has passed, the harvest has been gathered, cattle and sheep have been brought in from the fields, and the leaves have fallen from the trees. The earth slowly begins to die around us.

This is a good time for us to look at wrapping up the old and preparing for the new in our lives. Think about the things you did in the last twelve months. Have you left anything unresolved? If so, now is the time to wrap things up. Once you’ve gotten all that unfinished stuff cleared away, and out of your life, then you can begin looking towards the next year.

Honoring the Ancestors:

For some of us, Samhain is when we honor our ancestors who came before us. If you’ve ever done genealogy research, or if you’ve had a loved one die in the past year, this is the perfect night to celebrate their memory. If we’re fortunate, they will return to communicate with us from beyond the veil, and offer advice, protection and guidance for the upcoming year.

If you want to celebrate Samhain in the Celtic tradition, spread the festivities out over three consecutive days. You can hold a ritual and feast each night. Be flexible, though, so you can work around trick-or-treating schedules!

So for you all my special friends, may this day no matter if you are Pagan, Wiccan or non believer of the old ways have a Happy Halloween and Awesome Samhain

The American Dream

The American Dream…Does it exist anymore, or is it just a figment of your imagination? What happen that it is beyond or reach? We grew up expecting to achieve your dreams. But those dreams have vanished and very few people can achieve it. Is it all lost? Can we bring it back in your lives? I would have never thought living in a free country that something so easy is so far out of your reach. It is not all lost though. I have always been told that if you set your mind to something it will come to pass and I still believe this. We make your own decisions and we are your own person, and the choices we make are of your own making and we have no one to blame but yourselves. Everyone wants to blame someone else but their selves, mostly the government, ok maybe the government isn’t perfect but what government is. We want to blame someone else besides yourselves, not saying that things that happen in your lives is always your fault and many times it is of another source.
To be the best we want, we must take risk in life and with them risk comes ups and downs. To live the American dream we must take many risk and them risk can hurt us financially and emotionally sometime, mostly the government, ok maybe the government isn’t perfect but what government is. We want to blame someone else besides yourselves, not saying that things that happen in your lives is always your thought and many times it is of another source.
To be the best we want, we must take risk in life and with them risk comes ups and downs. To live the American dream we must take many risks and those risks can hurt us financially and emotionally sometimes. In the end it is all worth the sacrifice and risks. Life is full of dreams, we have to act on your dreams and not blame others on your failures. It’s not the government, your neighbor or even your boss’s thought. It is not the thought of your God or whoever you pray to. If we don’t act on it, it will never happen so in the end it is your fault and no one else’s so quit blaming others of your failures, it’s not all lost though. Only you can change your current situation, no one is going to bail you out of your troubles and such. If you want self pity don’t lay it on me because I will be the first person to tell you that I don’t feel sorry for you. So get off your duff and change your situation and follow your dream. Live the American dream the way you want to live it.

The Dark Lonely Twisted Road

My Life, My Darkness, the twisted road to nowhere. I try to be a good person and I am most of the time, but some people have put me down that I am not what they expect me to do. To be that law biding American Christian Citizen. What I have to follow what people expect me to do? So I do not trust the government of the world, I don't go to Sunday school and I dont attend the monthly city council or go to PTA meetings. My taste of music of Bjork, Godsmack, Lacuna Coil, and Pagan's Mind. I am me and I am not here to make anyone person in my life happy. I am here to make myself happy and thats the problem, when I make myself happy then I make everyone less happy. It seems everytime I think I am doing something right that it actually isn't right. I am scared to fall in love, I am scared of my own shadow. That If I do something that once again it will come back and haunt me. I am a Wiccan I wear a Pentacle necklace, I am put down by other Christians and non-pagan religions. I am a Witch I am going to rot in hell, when we all know that the devil was a fanstasy made up by the christian faith. The greatest story ever told is just that but a fantasy. I am sorry I am tired of people trying to preach to me, saying Wiccans is not a faith but a cult. We Pagans and Wiccans know that it is a religion, so we don't celebrate the christian God we believe in the Old Ways, ways I believe are the right ways. So I will stress my religion openly and for you Christians who saying I am sinning, that your way is the one and only way, the fact is Paganism is one if not the oldest religions known to man. So please respect my religion as I respect your religion.
So I am hurting, not know if I am making the right decision, does my darkness continue. I have visions voices and out of body experience on a daily basis. There is no switch I can turn the darkness off. I am me. I Jale, Jeff, Dale or whatever name I prefer to use at that particular moment. I want to feel love, I want to feel what life is suspose to feel like. I want to know what it is really like to live. For people to respect me, to not try to change or control, not to judge me for my faith and beliefs. The darkness falls on me like a tidal way. Is there any hope left for me, is there any spark left in my life, is there anything to live for. I know this blog is a bit negative and positive at the same time. I am tired of the bullcrap, that I must hide who I am to make other people in my life happy. Yes I am dating and I really like this person, but I do not know how to go beyond the dating part. She is very special to me and she is someone one I really adore and want to get to know more but I don't want to get hurt or hurt anyone ever again. So how does one person begin to enjoy life, I am happy with myself but I don't know how to begin to enjoy life. Is there any life left for me. Is there that special someone for me, is this lady that person. What I do know that the darkness continues, but at the same time I am happy with myself that I beleive the way I do and that I am my own special person. So I love life, but I need advice in how to enjoy it to the fullest.

Do they work? That is the real question, that is what this blog is about. Let me Know what you think, what your experiences are and whatnot. Let Jale know your feelings on this subject or just your feelings on relationships in general

Well, as you all know I am back on the dating block once again going to try my luck again. As you all know I have not had much luck here in the Desert....The Land of Enchantment....I have been rejected and stood up, does that mean I am going to give up heck no. Was even told maybe I should try to date online, I have tried that in the past with little to no luck whatsoever. So someone suggested I should try a long distance relationship. Well I was a little shocked, knowing from people that this is a tough relationship to get into, then have heard people that it has worked for them. Even heard people that it got so serious that they moved to live with that person. All I can say is WOW. I also think if it works great and even if it means packing up and being with that person even though you have never met that person? Can it work? Will it Work? With anything in life there are risks to take, rivers to swim and mountains to climb, could I personally do this in my life. As a lot of debate with family and friends and a lot of thinking. I know I could do this if there was someone I was really close to, a person I could call my soulmate, my other half. In life you have to take some risks, some are bad choices and some are good choices so I could do this if I felt she was the right person for me. It will be getting out of my comfort zone, but I have always said that I strive on being out of the zone, and doing something out of the ordinary. So could you all do this, could you do something that takes you out of your comfort zone. Could you date some thousand miles away from you and if it became serious could you pack up and go live with this person.

I never thought I be the one to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to relationships, yes I have some rocky relationships, but I have also have some great ones, and I have experienced a lot in my 43 years on this great earth. I laugh when some one says they can't date that person, or they are too scared to ask them out. Come on the worse that can happen is he or she will say no. So you rinse and repeat. Life is to short to be stuck in your shell. Even though I am stuck at home besides work, doesn't mean I am dead to the world. I do get out even if it is just at Wal-Mart and working with the public it gives me the chance to meet new people even if it is for only a few minutes a night. So what you all waiting for get out and mingle, step out of your comfort zone, let no one say you cant date a certain person because they are out of your league, I have dated many women who most guys would think I would not have a chance with. Grow some balls and ask that person you have a crush on. Let no one say you can't, do ther unusual, the twisted, be yourself and let no one say you can't do anything.

Life is too short have fun at everything you do, and relationships should be fun, I have been said I am a very fun guy to be with, I am silly...so with that said I am on the block again ladies and If I think you are someoneI like to date or get to know more I will let you know and of course I will ask for your number so for some reason you get more then one email from me, that means I am interested in you and like to know you more.

Please let me know your thoughts?

The Norse,and My new Ways

The Gods and Goddess's of The Norse, yes it has been rumored that I have had a vision and several out of body Experience from Lady Freya, it is no rumor, it is no fantasy, and you are not ready no fairy tale book. My path is clear now, more clear then anything else in my life. A year ago I had no clue what life was going to bring me, there were times that all I wanted to do was to give up, to drink my sorrows away, and that was when my Out of body expereince or as I call them trips to the unknown. My visions and voices are so detailed today, and I know I must follow my Goddess's wish, to serve her to the very best of my ability. I have sacrifice everything in my life for her and will be proud to call her by name and to tell people she is who I serve. So I do serve Freya and I could not be any happier, ok maybe just a little. My life in these last few months have been great and I now know what my Goddess wants from me. To help people with love, peace, happiness, and compassion and help people in the words I write, how I going to do that she will tell me that in due time. So I had to drop out of school because she has shown me that I must not be in school to serve her purpose and that I need to show people that my words and and who I am is more important right now then being in school, she has said school will come later. So life is good and I have came a long way, not feeling of pity or being negative anymore, there is nothing but love and compassion here. This ole boy is having fun in life and I do not regret anything I have chose to do, because the simple fact its not about me its about my Lady Freya and the less fortunate people of this world.

Norse and Freya and Idea of Sacrifices

Today I wanted to talk about this Mythology...There is a discussion on a different site and as you know the Lady Freya has called upon me in my visions and voices and my Out of Body Experiences. I was told that Freya is not a Wiccan Goddess and that I can't be serving her and she would not call upon me knowing that I would not do a animal sacrifice...I guess under the old Norse religion not sure what it is called right off atm, that once a year you have to sacrifice a animal in the name of the Goddess and God. But back to my issue, why would the Goddess call upon me if I was not ever going to sacrifice a animal against the Wiccan Rede. I have not had any more foresight from her but will ask her once I communicate again with her. I Eclectic Wicca and I believe in many different ways, and I do not know if Freya is my one and only Goddess, and who knows she might not be, she is for without a doubt here for me, and I know she has called me for a purpose and I do not know what the purpose is yet, but when I do I will know more, and after that purpose is served I might not ever here from here again. I am just confused when someone comes and tells me to worship her I must A. Can't be Wiccian and B. To server her I must sacrifice in her name. What I do know this I will not do a sacrifice and if she wanted me to, knowing I would never do that don't you think she would pick some one else...so I know she has pick me for a reason and a sacrifice is not what she has in mind.

The point is to this whole post is actually, if she wanted someone to server her and to sacrifice at the same time, I really believe she would not have picked me. I believe in the Eclectic Wiccan ways, which I adopt many ways from many different paths, as long as I harm none and that means animals...So if Freya has picked me she knows I am here not to sacrifice and she has other plans for me.

My Wiccan Ways

I know a lot of my friends are not Wiccan or Pagan and are of the Christian faith, and I know you all respect my new faith, as my Year and A day ends on November 27 and with my dedication ritual being written as I speack...ok not this very moment, but it is being written. These last nine months have been very moving and motivated. Last year at this time I wasn't even working at the VA hospital and you all know that didn't pan out and all, but my new job and starting school, and I have less then a year to graduate from school and all. I do sense I was brought on this journey by the Goddess, I have no particular Goddess or God I worship them all, and once I see the light to a particular Goddess let it be Isis, Diana or whoever then I will let you all know which path I am taking

Honestly this place is mainly for my writing and most my writings are about Love, Peace, Happiness and Compassion, and I also have many Christian friends and I do write about Wiccan and Pagan issues and beliefs. That is not going to change, and I do hope that does not offend my Christian friends, and if it does I am sorry if it does. My life is for the Goddess's and Gods, Please respect my faith as I respect yours. If you are here to turn me back to the Christian faith you are wasting both your times, it just is not going to happen. If I see any one trying to change me back to that faith or any other faith in that matter I will email you telling you to stop, if it continues I will delete you. I will only warn you once. I love everyone no matter the faith. So sit back read, email, post and have fun. All of you are my dearest of all friends, I wrote this post for the people who email me telling me I am sinning and going to rot in hell, well in the first place I don't believe in a hell. I walk this path because it moves me, and I do not want to make anyone made off at me, I am sorry I could never walk the Christian faith due to it never moved me I have been in 20 to 30 churches in my life and was even asked to leave some due to my gifts. Let it be my visions, voices, and out of body experiences, I was or will never be excepted in a church. Oh I been told it was just the church I was in, now that just excuse I was told that in every single church I ever been too. So I went somewhere, where I knew I would be excepted and that was Wiccan. I have never felt so moved in my life as I am now. I have people who except me for who I am and I do have many Christian friends and they all except me for who I am, I just am happy now, that I have found a faith that is my life, my existence and my Love, peace, happiness and compassion. So Life is good....no life is great living the Life of a Wiccan and A Witch

As you all know by my last post "Women of Color" that I did receive a email, a person with a very bad attitude. So today I want to write on the subject of Attitude. It makes me mad or more irritated I guess when I come across people who have a bad attitude, but in this case it was through the email. I wasn't expecting, I was not in the wrong, I was just minding my own business. Why do we as humans have a bad attitude? I think mostly because it was the way they were brought up in life, or they are having a bad day, Being negative also triggers it and goes hand and hand with it in my personal opinion. I know most people I come across have a good attitude and they all try to be happy and positive. At the same time there are people who have it made in life, don't have to worry about anything, but why do these people have a bad attitude, it is because they they were brought up. I am not trying to blame there parents or whoever raised them. You know the saying if you are a Alcoholic then more then likely you will, is it the same with bad attitude. I you were raised with it day in and day out I guess it can wear off on you, but I am one to beg to differ on that. Especially when you are adult. we are humans and we know from right and wrong, it just we have a attitude I don't care and it is my life and if I want a bad attitude then that is my choosing and no one else, they are right we are not here to change any person attitude. I for one will tell someone if I think they are having a bad attitude, and if it is directed to me, I think it is my choosing to tell that person that especially when it is in my space and what I mean space, you know the area where someone is talking to you way to close for me if they are coping a attitude within 3 feet of me then that is way to close and is the area that triggers my brain to stand up and speak how you feel.

So you are thinking people with attitude the hard case ones, the ones who have it 24/7 all year long that it can be changed. The thing once a Alcoholic always a Alcoholic is not true in moods, I class a bad attitude as a mood swing and can be avoided and changed if the person who is feeling this way, other then having this mood, think of something happy, something positive it only takes a few second and stop and think. "I am having a tude today, who do I change it before it gets bad, easy done think of love, peace, happiness, and compassion of others this always helps me not to be in a bad attitude or any bad mood. This might not work for everybody, but use something that will turn it into something good and you be surprised how good your bad attitude will change.


Peace, Love, Happiness and Compassion

Women Of Color

Well today I got the most, disrespectful email any person could ever get, As you all know most my friends are women, and yes I do have some tagged guys but are mostly women. Today I open my email telling me that I am a lover of women of color, it went on to say that if this person was here in my state that they would hunt me down and harm me. So I basically deleted this person account, and went on with my day. So today i wanted to write a piece on Women of Color and for you ladies who are not of Color please do not take this post offensive.

First off I love every woman no matter there color, race, culture or what not. I do not judge women because they are not white or whatnot. It really ticks me off that after years and years of this most right down most stupid reason that because they are of a certain color that they do not deserve to live like others in this society. Isn't it time we treat each other like humans and not of color. That everyone should be treated as humans, I mean what makes a person different is not of there color, but there attitude. I be first one to admit that I have dated and have many friends of color, and have dated women who where not white like me, so what if a woman is black, Hispanic, Oriental, Indian or whatever color they might be, if I think I am attracted to a black woman I will not hesitate to ask her out on a date. I am sick and tired of people saying oh crap I am white and I can only date white people. Bull crap, when are we humans going to stop thinking that way and realize that people of color are just like any other color, it is simple we are all human and should be treated as such. I treat a black person the same as I treat all colors. Lets get pass this racism bullcrap and finally be human and quit playing the color game, because it is getting old and stupid. We are human, and as human we are all created equal and should be treated as such.

We the human race of this great world we call Earth have to get past this, to live in a world were everyone is created equal, no matter the sex, race, religion, disabilities, or sexual preference. When is that going to happen. Where everyone is created equal. Where a black man can walk down the street and be created equal, where each and everyone of us can overcome this weakness in the human race, where the hatred for color can once and for all disappear from the human race. Will it ever happen. I do pray that it does happen in my life time. People tell me there is no racial differences anymore and we all know the truth, that there are issues many issues when it comes to issue. So lets stand up and treat every single person as a equal, and treat people of all colors, races, cultures, disability, and sexual preferences as one, treat them as you want to be treated. W e are Human isn't it about time we treat each other as such.

I am sorry this is the way I feel, that women of all colors are human, and I will date or be friends with women of color. I am a white boy and there is no room in my life for racism. So all people of all colors are more then welcome in my life. I love all, and all I shall love them as I want to be treated myself.

Compassion To All

We are all of the human race, we want to love and feel love, and I am not just talking about love to a girlfriend or boyfriend, a husband or wife. It starts with having compassion to everyone in your life, if it is your next door neihbor, the boss you have always hated, to the policeman that just gave you a devastating traffic ticket, It starts with compassion to everyone, even if you hate that person with a passion. So what if they have treated you badly, is it really go to make you feel better treating them bad like they did too you. It makes you just as bad as them. We are humans and we should treat everyone as we want to be treated. Yes there are times I want to just slap them on the back of the head and maybe for a short time I will feel better, but in the long run I am going to feel terrible. To love and to be love it starts with compassion, can you have compassion in your life? Can you treat people with compassion even though they would not do the same to you? Treat everyone with this respect and you will be suprised how they will react in return. Oh I am not saying they all will return the favor, but most will. So why have all this anger, why hate people because they did not give you the time of day. To start receiving love, we must be compassionate to all, not to have revenge, not to hate, and not to get even. We must start this in your lives now and bring the compassion to yourselves and the lives of others. Bring the compassion back so we can learn to love and be loved.

My New Job and Life

After months and months of depressing filling out applications, to the bottom of the pit I saw myself going, so I prayed to the Goddess to give me complete happiness, peace, and love of myself. So she answered my my prayers and gave me all this. I found happiness, love, and peace with myself. Oh I so wanted to give up some few short months ago, and my year and a Day ends on November 27. My feelings I am having are the best I have felt in many years, when everything seems impossible that is when all the doors open. As of today I gained a part-time job at Circle K here in New Mexico which I was told will turn into full-time, My school starts up at the end of August and with all the credits I have I will have less then a year to graduate with my Associates degree in Information Technology. I am seeing and hearing nothing but good things, there is so much possible energy that surrounds me today. So the small things are working out, and the big things are coming together. I see my life improving for the better, I see getting my own place soon, and get a computer job after I graduate from school, I also see myself traveling somewhere besides New Mexico, but my work here is not finished in the desert, when that is finished the Goddess will show me my next stop on my journey. I have also been told and shown to help save the world in bring back love, peace, and happiness with as many people I can. My life is so much more interesting now then it was some months back, and my plate is full, oh and I now have decided to put myself back into the dating scene, I know my true love is out there somewhere and I know the Goddess will put her in my path, I just have to patient. So to make a long story short....LIFE IS GOOD.


Blessed Be

The Girl Who Silenced the World

After I saw this video all I could say was wow, a girl so young silenced the world, if all humans could think like her. This world would be such a better place to live. We sometimes take life for granted, many of us are blind in what is happening today in the world, we must demand to have your world back, so I children can grow up in, to be safe at your parks, your schools and church's. We must make a stand, we must change the world, not tomorrow, but we must demand for the change today. So please enjoy the video and let me know what you think.

Save the World

I started this blog, for the people of the world, who want to live in a better world. To Help Save the world. My first edit on this as I was told sounded more as bringing violence to the streets, that was not my intention. I am all about love, peace, and happiness. My goal for this project is not to bring any harm to anyone. What my goal is to get people interested in bringing a world of happiness, love, and peace. A place were our children can say life is good, and that we as humans can live what we dreamed of as when we were children, were there is no world violence, were we can teach everyone about love and peace. Where we are not scared to take a walk at night, where we can keep your doors unlocked at night. Oh I know not all that will be possible, but the more people we get interested in saving the world from destroying yourselves the safer this world will be. Were we can bring back the humanity in as many people as possible, were we are not judged by your color, race, sexual orientation and religion. Were all humans should be treated as equals...That is what most important to bring humanity back into the world and have the compassion to treat others as we want to be treated. It is a big chore, but I strongly believe it is possible with the helps of others we can save the world.

Full Moon Blessings to all

Twisted Journal

Yes I know this use to be when I had my gotee, not so long ago about a year or so. Oh and Jale has decided to grow another one of course. It is in the early stages only about four days or so. Wow what a week!!! When you think things could not get better, it does. Well first off I start school in August, I am so excited, my first task is to get my Associates degree in Information Technology. So the process at the school has went smoothly like it did back in March so I am happy with that. I have a interview in the Morning at Circle K, maybe this is a sign of good things to come in the near future, I was bummed that I lost my cell phone service, but I still have my moms land phone and the Internet so that is cool. I have been really happy with life, even with all the things that I have encountered over the last year or so, I have truly found happiness with myself. So I have found what I have been looking for to. To find happiness I had to be happy with myself and I found it. I did get food stamps and that will help for time being. I have learned to be strong and have found a new change in my life, I have got rid of self-pity, negativism, and self worthlessness and replaced it with a positive outlook on life. I think positive, I talk positive, and I act positive. So even though my situation has not really changed, my thinking and has. I am stronger today then I ever have been in my entire life. Just a few years ago I wanted to give up, to end my life with crank and I was one it for almost two weeks non-stop, today I am surprised that I didn't die. It wasn't meant to be or I would have died. I know my purpose in life now, I am to help people and to write what I feel and believe and I will continue to write and share my stories with all my special friends and family. Life is a happy one for me, and I know once I get back on track and get a job and a place of my own that everything will be great. I am so happy today, I think I could get use to this feeling, thanks to everyone that has supported me in my journey. Thanks for being my friend.

Pan Am Flight 103 Lockerbie Scotland December 21, 1988

Well it was the Christmas holiday and I was heading home to meet the family for the holidays. It was December 21, 1988. I was scheduled to take Flight 103 to NYC. I was so excited to get home, to spend time with the family. I was sitting in the airport in London waiting, when something hit me, something was telling me to take another flight, to not take this flight. Something inside was telling me to get up and take another flight. Years later as I think on it now it really scares and hurts me that I cheated death in away. Who or what was telling me this, the next flight I was taking was a little cheaper, that was a plus and it was a half hour earlier departure and would land in Boston which I would get a connect flight to Atlanta, with a few hour layover, which would put me in my final destination of Omaha, Nebraska. You know I didn’t think nothing of it really back then, I landed in Boston and didn’t have much time to get to my next flight had like a hour, as I was running my but off to the next gate, I saw many people standing by TVs, which is not uncommon in Airports. but at that moment I had a bad feeling, so I kept running not thinking about until I heard the news halfway to Atlanta. The rest of the flight I felt sick inside as I did have a few Navy friends that were on that flight. Things were flying through my mind. Than as we were making your decent, into Atlanta. It hit me like a tidal wave, I never called my family that I was switching planes. They had to be a wreck, so I called once them, the relief was lifted. I still feel after all these years that I cheated deaths so many nice people and friends were on that plane and the Citizens of Lockerbie Scotland. It was my fate, my destiny to not be on that flight, and my vision, my voice, my other sense was not to be on that flight. I sometimes think I was not to be on that flight for some special purpose that the Goddess has stored for me. She has plans for me I do know that. I still have visions and voices today. Some seem like they are face to face, like if I am in a conversation right now. So every time I have a vision or voice i take them serious. Welcome to my world. Just wanted all my friends to understand and tell you a real life story, that if I didn’t have them I would not be here today.

I am a Witch

Well wanted to write a small section here, well it might turn out large who knows. As you all know I am a Wiccan, and I do also practice the Craft. The Craft of Witchcraft, I really hope that doesn’t scare anyone, and if it does I am sorry for this is who I am, and will never changed. Oh I am not evil, it is against everything that Wiccans believe in we harm none and do as we will. Yes we do have witch haters, the people who say we are sinning, well thats there life not mine.So I wrote a bit here so hope you enjoy it(well i saw this somewhere so not actually written by me) When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, They call me Witch When I stood up for the people I loved,They call me a Witch When I spoke my mind, through my own thoughts or did things my own way, They call me Witch Being a Witch means you won’t compromise whats in your heart. It means living your life the Goddess way. It means you won’t allow anyone to step on you. When refusing to tolerate injustice and speak against it. You are defined a Witch. The same thing happens when I take for myself. Instead of being everyones maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means having the courage and strength to allow yourself to be who you truely are and won’t become anyone’s idea of what they think you “Should” be. I am outspoken, opinionated, and detrimed. There is nothing wrong with that. So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every once of beauty I hold within me, you won’t succeed. And If that makes

Wiccan Pride Part 2

To Wiccan has changed my Life, it has made me so much happier with myself and who I am, so I am not Christain I am not Catholic, I do not believe in Jesus Christ, I don't believe he rose for your sins, and to me the greatest story ever told was just a made story, but does because I do not believe in this make me a bad person. I pray to to a Goddess just like Christian pray to God....Christian have the Ten Commandents....Wiccans have the Rede...You go to church...we have eight holidays a year which complets the Wheel of the Year...We have rituals for a full moon. So does that make me bad because my religion is not like yours.... I celebrate the nature and curing of the land and the balance of the elements and if you are wondering the elements are Fire, Earth, Wind, Water and Spirit. Wer celebrate peace and love and we harm none. So why are christains and cathlotics trying to rid of a religion that was here way before they were, why do christains adopt the pagan holidays, and why is it that when a Wiccan and Witich is class evil or sinful what just because a book says so. I believe many religions are scared of of because we tell the truth, after thousands of years in trying to rid the world of Witches and Pagans Cathlics and Christans have failed with this task, but why after thousand of years in failing are they still trying to rid of us, the fight should just bended years after the Burning Times, we are Witches and we are here and we are not going anywhere. I have many Christan friends and I love them to death, but this is the way I feel I am a Wiccan, for me it Is Wiccan pride. I am not going to switch back to being a christan this is me either you except it or you don't



Blessed Be The Goddess is in us all



Merry Meet Merry Part and until we Merry Meet Again



So Mote it be.

Wiccan Pride Part 1

So what is it that make other religions or mainly Christianity put down Pagans, Wiccans, Druidism, Shaminism or any other religion that is not Christian. My discussion today is on Wiccans the Craft of the Wise. The religion everyone in the world thinks is evil and that we are of pure evil and we are out to harm others. So the Christian bible say it against there religion. So that is the way you were told. What they don't tell in your bible is that Wiccans are of love and light and that we are not to susspose to harm anyone one or anything or it will come back to use threefold. Well unless we are harmed yourselves. We are Wiccans and we stick together, we are not out to judge others and maybe I loose a lot of christian friends, but in my experience christians are the most judgemental people I have ever met. I am sorry i do not follow your book of lies, or that I follow the the conception of christinaity is the right way and only way. The one perfect religion. Perfect well my Goddess is not jealous and we can do as we will. We have no rules we have to live by. We wiccans stick together and I have to say Wiccans and Pagans are the only religion that I see that. we don't have to wake up on Sundays to put your mask on to make the fellowship think we are something when we arnt. I have never seen that with Pagans and Wiccans. We are here to stick together as one and in the world today it is the only religion that I see are happy and full of life. And Even after thousands of years of being degraded, burned, murdered, put on trial, stone to death...that fact is that Pagans and Wiccans are even stronger now and we arnt leaving. Let it be Known that the Goddess is strong on Earth and she is is every Pagan and Wiccan 24/7. We are no longer here to bow to Christianity we are here for the Goddess and Only the Goddess. Isn't it time to let us be us and for all the Wiccans and Pagans that are scared to tell who they are come on out of your closest you no longer have to be scared.

Thesis of Happiness #2

So my search for happiness continues today as I look back on my life I have been given the pleasure of meeting people who have shared happiness with me so in these next few writing I am going to share with you them people who have shared happiness with me.

So there I was having a new job, the most I have ever made in my entire life, but I was not happy with my life, I was miserable, full of self-pity, nagativism, and self worthlessness. So my first month at the hospital my assignment was to clean the cancer ward. It was a assignment that at first I hated. Most the patients there had cancer that would eventually take over there bodies and kill them. It was a sad place to b, or I thought. After a couple days there I began to realize that from the housekeepers to the nurses to the doctors to other staff members that it was a place of being happy, and there goal was to keep the patients in high spirits, and what I saw they did a very awesome job at this. Every patient room I cleaned everyone seemed happy, but how could they be so happy knowing that they would be lucky to make it twenty years of age.The atmosphere was much different then any other department in the hospital.

I so didn't want to work in this ward, I wanted a different assignment and I knew that it wasn't meant to be. I was put in this ward for a reason, and that reason was a patient named Michelle, she was one of the older patients she was seventeen and so full of life and happiness, at first she never spoke to me, but I saw her smile and joke with the other patients, the nurses, doctors, and family and friends who would visit her. She was different, she was a fighter, and nothing was going to get her down.

On one particular day, I was in her room busy cleaning, she smiled at me and while she was reading and watching tv. She looked so fragile and I so wished she would have a full life. She had a very clean room and I didn't really have to be in there that long as I have with some of the other patients. As I was finishing up I heard her speak...Mr? she spoke. I looked at her and to me she was in need of a nurse, so I turned around and started to leave the room to get a nurse. MR? please come over hear. I froze never had a patient who would want me to come to them.

I turned around and she said please come here. So I did she looked at me in such a sweet smile, I had butterflies...She wanted to speak, she told me to sit down. I sat down then she spoke again. "Mr, Why are you so unhappy" This blew me away, she didn't know me, we did't talk before, but she knew how I was feeling and everything. So we started to talk, and over the next few months I learned so much from her, she taught me how to be happy with myself, to get rid of self-pity, negativism, self worthlessness and replace everything in life with positive thinking, positive talking, and positive actions. I didn't know at that time that she was teaching me about happiness that didn't come until recently. I was happy everyday and would spend extra time in her room, and I prayed that she would win this battle she was fighting and in 2006 she finally won the battle of cancer and has been living a normal life ever since. Was it faith that saved her life, was it a miracle to me it was something more, it was because she believed she would win this fight, she was strong, and she never gave up on the positive outlook on life, her happiness and will power saved her life.

So I say no matter what one person is going through in there life, that you can still be happy with yourself. If you rid yourself of negativism, self-pity, and self worthlessness you can win the battle of life's down. You have to replace it positive thinking, positive speaking, and positive actions. These three things will let you live the life you so desire and want. It won't be easy, and will even seem impossible at times, but if you condition yourself and think of happiness and replace everything in your life that that seems negative with a positive outlook and attitude you will finally find the happiness you have always been searching for. So today when you feel down, think of Michelle, and think of all the other cancer patients who are going through much more then yourself and tell yourself that you will change your life with positive energy and you will finally find happiness, if you do this, if you really want to change your life then today be more positive and you will with out a doubt find happiness. Are you ready for you life to change?

Thesis of Happiness #1

So what is Happiness? We as the human race want, we desire it more then anything else in life. Not all the riches in the world can take this from us once we have gained it. Why it it so hard to gain the true happiness of this small fraction in life, well maybe it isn't small. Why is it so hard to be happy? The scholars of the world probably have debated this way before any of were even thought of. I over the years have had many times in my life when I was so unhappy and I thought back then that it was because of the rough times I was going through and all. That was so far from the truth, I was stuck in a depression mode that I did not like, I was never happy with life and myself. So it dawned on me I was not happy because I was not happy with myself. I am not saying there are not people who are not happy with themselves are are many people who have found happiness and there are people who are so unhappy it is scary. So to be really happy in life you first must be happy with yourself, but how does one become happy with themselves. That is the secret, we first have to be happy with yourselves, we must rid your thinking of self pity, negativism, and worthlessness. We have to place it with positive thinking, and if we can not replace it with all positive thoughts and thinking we will truly never find happiness. So now you are wondering I have many things going on in my life that is not making me happy, well not to be rude that is just a excuse. I have met people who were on the brink of death, there life were in mere shambles, and they told me even with all that they are happy with themselves. So you see there is nothing that can take your happiness from you. It is the one thing that you have complete control over. Do not get me wrong, there are situations in my life which I am not happy with, but I have finally found happiness with myself. So no matter what your situation is you can still control your happiness with yourself. There is nothing in this world that can take that from you. No Excuses!!!. You have to condition yourself on being happy, it is nothing that will happen over night, and it will be hard to condition yourself to gain the happiness. Once you gain this, then you will finally be happy with every aspect in your life no matter what. So do you have what it takes to condition yourself? Can you rid your life of Negativism? Can you crush the self-pity that has been hidden in your inner self for so long? Can you burn every thought of self worthlessness? Yes life is hard, and you must forget what has happen in your life no matter what it is and replace all that with positive thinking, you will be shocked what it can do for you, and it will change your life forever. You are the only one that can control this and only you can change your life and finally be happy with yourself. We can force the unhappiness out of lives once and for all, we can finally be happy if we condition yourselves. Do you want to be happy? Till next time be happy
