Fame and perfect love

We have a wall in home that has tulip wallpaper. I was drawn to this flat because of the wall.

Does anyone remember the chant from the movie The Craft, "In perfect love and perfect trust"? Well it it's older than that, but definately not Hollywood's.

I used to have a mood theme on my livejournal that was from the Craft movie, and one was from the Puppet episode, in Angel. They made some pretty good movies in 1996.

I was given an advice last night to take blogging as a chore so I wouldn't detest it, but I love to force the little connections in my brain to produce something, which is nice.

I'm getting drunk on punch we're making for newyears. I am yet to write any resolutions down anywhere, but maybe if I just committed to something for months to come inside my head and there wasn't a need to write anyhing down. I'll be the same after the year has changed, after all...

1^st ChallengeYour challenge is to become more open to the spiritual world. You have a tendency to be too logical and not open to things you can not see or easily understand. You must have faith, and not let your pride prohibit you from learning something new.

3^rd Challenge

Your challenge here is to work on your personal self, you as an individual as opposed to your race, religion or nationality. You will face many situations where your own moral beliefs will conflict with that of the crowd. You main challenge at this stage is to learn how and when to stand up for your personal beliefs and not just go with what others want.

1^st Pinnacle

The duration of the First Pinnacle Cycle runs from birth to the age of 35.

During this period of your life you will become very insightful, making you a great moderator, teacher, philosopher or other such job. Your ability to fully understand both sides of an argument will be your greatest strength and weakness during this time. You will have to be careful not to become too involved with other people's issues. Although you are a great problem solver, you should not let that become the main purpose of your life.

books along the way

These are my Wicca books at the moment.

• way of wicca
• earth power
• nocturnal witchcraft
• wicca unveiled

I also have a Lavender cookbook :~D

Chaos finds me, balance I have to seek

Even though my god is celtic, I'm not a Celt.

Listening to a chant for Aradia too.

Maybe I should make a youtube channel for wiccan chant as well :~)

I've got to look into spells about emotional baggage/chaos in my life, because of the recurring dreams.
-Blessed be xo

New Year's Eve x

Good morning. I was packing in my dreams, again. It was books and all sort of stuff from my little ponies to occult things, and I was on a cruise ship that was leaving. I woke up after I saw the bookshelf full of books I had to choose from as it was getting heavy to carry everything.

That's what I probably do all night in my dreams. It may mean there are big changes coming, or I don't know.

Here's a picture I saw on Instagram by the way. My fiancé doesn't sleep well on full moon, he claims. Maybe plan ahead?

Moon and rain be with you.

forget about itte ane it wille goe awaye

I was unappreciative of my body today. Maybe I should bless myself again with salt until I stop putting that evil stuff in me. It was just a pizza and some chocolate etc but it will be showing on my body tomorrow.

I'm sorry mother earth for I have not treated my body in a balanced healthy way... tomorrow is another day when I will celebrate 2017 and it won't look pretty.

My body is a temple as well and I didn't respect it. Just saying.

Best year of my life on a magical island in the UK

I was pretty upset to leave Isle of Wight. England has Stonehenge, it has druids, it has witches...
Finland has some gods and lore of it's own, too, but I will save that for later.
It is now ten years since I was an exchange student there. I think it were pretty spiritual trip, I spent a lot of time in the library and not just on the computers. The library's selection was better than the ones I've seen in my country... wiccan that and self-help this... mediums and intuition, and cooks and actors, history... it was a most spiritual trip also.
I leave you now with my memories. Today wasn't a specially Wiccan day, but 2017 is soon. 365 new days to get something going.

Get in contact with me, I won't bite!

blessed be...

Meditates

I practised on my ritual and circle casting... I got a little black cape from China and decided to start meditating in a circle I cleansed with salt and put stones around and waved my athame. I did forget to use a broom to cleanse the space as well. I lighted a white candle and after blessing myself, ate a mars bar and energy drink to ground myself.

I put our dog in another room for that time. My fiance is also elsewhere.

Cernunnos and Goddess

these are my god and goddess statues

my fave tarot deck

"charged" images from some scammer fortune woman

a necklace piece

burners for oils

my night table / altar for now

athame

 Well, I've shared pictures of my most pagan things, the chakra stones I have are not here, since I'm still working on using them... It has been a while but it is really important to work on your chakras as your energy flows through them...

here is one example of a video on youtube, you can cleanse your chakras...

I leave you now so blessed be.

Massare's of innocents

my friend is into bats and it's her birthday 

colored this rhino today

I am just blogging this post and not get into so much into magic or wicca. It's a busy day, we're getting dishwasher installed and going to a birthday party. I loaded ten euros to my bus card. I have a lot of things to send in the mail, if my fiance doesn't drive me to the post office for example tomorrow.

Blessed morning to all. I mean it's soon noon. The winter sun is still shinining and moon waning.

I've been thinking of getting pictures on here to show what pagan items I have, since I'm out of ink to print anything to my book of shadows, and for some reason I have started it in Finnish as well, which is my first language.
It sounds great to do posts about my altar and so on.

Building Your Path

What do you have to offer to the gods and goddess? Perhaps you are able to make a ritual, so you offer them wine at the end, to center yourself back again to everyday life.
You don't have to offer a lot, perhaps flowers, building an altar, buying some things like herbs and incence or an athame or books about wicca... or make stuff like your own wand (not the Harry Potter style, always ask permission from the tree.) if you're in the broom closet, maybe build an altar in a small box you could hide, wearing a pentagram around your neck for protection, or start building your own book of shadows... You could actually spend money at first on things, but it's nature you're tuning to. Celebrating the Seasons, sabbats, maybe saying a chant or drawing a rune once in a while for love/luck/protection etc... Everything will come to you, I promise.

Spirit...

I'm an air and earth witch. I initiated myself into Wicca over ten years ago when I was about 14.
I am now 27 year-old female, so you might call me a priestess (instead of the priest).
My god/desses names will be written with a small letter in front, because there are many gods, not just one monotheist one... You may find yourself the ones you feel most connected to from any time and space, fairies and other things are welcome here as well. Numbers 13, 7 etc magical numbers are important to us. Everything also comes back to you three-fold.

I will keep chanting until we have enough people interested in being in my coven. I live in Finland, wicca isn't a recognized religion here, I must tread careful, but I will welcome you a part in the blog and coven, and will make it a secret when enough people want to join in writing it...

Blessed be~~
