Well, for those of you who already
know me, boy, have I got news for
you! *smile*
The children and I moved, we are
now in Kelowna, B.C. They are doing
good and so am I. And yes, I am
now free! Woohoo!!! (got to keep a
sense of humour about these things)
*grin*
Seriously though, life is looking
pretty good. It's beautiful here in
the mountians. We live on Mt. Boucherie.
The fruit trees, the weather and all that
jazz is great....But Saskatchewan is still
home sweet home! *grin*
What do I miss the most about SK? Other
family & friends, it's got to be the
sunrises & sunsets. Just a simple, yet
beautiful moment that happens everyday.
Here in B.C. well you can see the clouds
change colour, but that's it....Guess you
can't have it all! *smile*
Well, I suppose that is all for today.
Take Care & Brightest Blessings to All.
I wrote the following in 1998:
This is my babbling page, it will
give you an idea of who I am, what I
believe in and all that jazz. I can
hear those yawns already, and yes, I
noticed the sudden decrease in oxygen
in the cyber room.{smile}
So, if this sounds a wee bit too
boring, just jump around within this
site, as I hope you do find something of
interest to you! : ) And, to the others,
I bid you welcome!
My Wiccan name is Luna. I know it is
a simple and plain name; however, as
with most names, it means alot to the
person who carries it.
I am a Solitary Witch and have been
Pagan all of my life. I was brought up
with an interesting blend of cultures and
belief systems. I distinguish Paganism and
Wicca as being put this way: every Witch
is Pagan But not every Pagan is a Witch.
To me, Paganism loosely covers a broad
range of Earth-based religions and/or belief
systems, whether it be Druid, Wicca/Wicce,
Shamanism and so on. As I stated earlier,
I am a Witch and have been Pagan all of my
life. That does, however, not mean, that
I have been a Witch all of my life. I came
into contact with Wicca over five years ago.
Since then, I have learned a great deal and
have so very much more to learn. Regardless
of how old we are, there is always more to
learn and to remember.
For those who were wondering what belief
system I lived, prior to Witchcraft, I
followed the trad teachings of the Cree and
Saulteaux (Plains Ojibwa)tribes of Canada.
These teachings were passed down through my
mom's side of the family. As well, there is
a Celtic influence on my mom's side too. My
Dad is Austrian/German, which is one reason
why I was so attracted to the Germanic Runes.
I have always respected and honored ALL of
my ancestors. I am as much Scottish as I am
Cree and so forth.
So, when I "stumbled upon" Wicca/Wicce, I felt
as though I have finally come "Home." I
realize that may sound weird but that's the
way it felt like. If my native teachings were
a hand, Wicca is the glove which keeps it
warm. The family teachings that were taught
were not so different than that of Wicca/
Witchcraft. I respect the fact that there
are people who may disagree with me, that is
fine. However, to me, these belief systems
are very similar and it works for me. Plain
and simple.
How are these belief systems similar? Well,
for starters, both systems revere Mother
Earth. Both systems cherish and respect the
gift of life, whether it be plant, the two-
leggeds, the four-leggeds, the swimmers,
plants etc. Both belief systems associate
the Moon to be a female sourceof power.Likewise,
both sytems, associate the Sun to be a male
source of power. Both systems regard the Earth
as their Mother. Both systems recognize the
sacredness of the circle. Both systems use
various methods of divination, chanting,
magick and medicines. Both systems
work their "magick" or their "medicine" by
tuning into the energies around them and by
working with that energy (as well as your own
personal energy) to bring about changes. Both
systems recognize the four directions. This
list can go on and on.
There are those, who may strongly disagree
with what I have written here. I just want
to stress, that these are just MY thoughts
and opinions. To each their own.
Whew! That was some sermon huh! {laughing}
I apologize, as that is not how I intended
to come across. Now that I have bored you
to tears, let's continue on with the agony.
*smile*
We like travelling, going to and
participating in Pow-wow's, watching movies,
playing board games, visiting family &
friends, clowning around, hiking, canoeing,
camping, gathering herbs/plants etc.
Besides all the things I like to
do with my kids, I also like reading,
writing poetry, beadwork, various types of
crafts, surfing the net, collecting all
sorts of things ( I am such a pack-rat, a
very sentimental pack-rat, I keep just
about everything that anyone has ever given
to me.), pen-palling, making bath oils, bath
salts, massage oils & candles and lotsa other
things.
Well, for now, I think I'll bring this to a
close. I never realized just how much I can
ramble!! If you ever met me in person,
you would wonder at how shy I can be. Well,
in cyberland, my shyness disappears! Until
next time, take care!
Blessed Be!
