Medicine is NOT Your Enemy

I don't often add pictures of myself. So I thought I'd add one of me today. :)

Reading the news today has saddened me a bit. If you're a long time reader you probably know that I am an energy healer. I use the energy of the universe to urge your body to heal itself. This sort of healing has gone by many names. Laying on the hands - faith healing - prayer -reiki, etc..

In the news today a couple relied solely on prayer to heal their child. This has happened not only once, but twice. The couple is now facing criminal charges in the death of the second child.

Modern western medicine isn't perfect, but it isn't something that should be shunned either. Does the Lord & Lady want to help us heal our sickness and injuries? Yes I firmly believe they do. Do we have to take steps beyond simple prayer, spells, energy work, to make it happen? ABSOLUTELY! This is true for all types of spell work. You can't just sit back and wait for change. YOU make it happen.

Should you pray for your child to get better? By all means do so. Do whatever faith healing you want to do. But your child also needs to be seen by a medical professional. Modern medicine works WITH folk medicine if given the chance.

Do you believe these parents should be convicted of a crime because their children died from faith healing?

Healing Prayers for Colorado Victims

I've been reading a bit about the Colorado shooting victims and my heart goes out to all those who have lost and injured loved ones. I can't imagine experiencing such a tragedy. I'm lighting a candle for all involved to find healing and love in their hearts.

Spells are not Lifes band-aid

I'd like to spend a moment away from the 44 days of witchery to discuss spells, and why I don't share. It isn't that I'm selfish and don't want to share my hard work. Its that I believe if you are casting spells, you should know how to write your own as well as know when you should and should not use them. This means you've already studied, hopefully with another practitioner, and have learned how to create your own spells and the ethics of their use. Not that I have anything against learning from books, but I don't think it should be your only source.

Here's the thing, spells are not natures band-aid for life's troubles. If you only use spells to try to fix your life, then your no different from the people who consider themselves Christian only when they are as my mother says, "Up a shit creek without a paddle."

I don't want to make it sound like its a bad thing to turn to the Lord and Lady for help. Its certainly not. But it is when thats your only reason for doing so. Don't forget that you need to do the work associated with whatever change you wish to bring about. I think we all know it would be nice if we could get instant gratification, but it just doesn't work that way folks.

So remember, honor the God(dess), be thankful, and do the work! Not every situation is appropriate for spells. If you are in doubt, ask a friend. :)

Blessed Be,

Life Change

I wrote this spell work on January 15th, 2011. I certainly got what I wished for. But my wish is not complete. Lets hope that the rest comes to fruition.

Life Change

Mother Earth, Father Sky I call you forth to witness this rite. May you shine your blessing upon this work tonight.
From the North I call the winds to bring new change. A better tomorrow future shall be.

From the South I bring the netted past. All negative shed, only positive shall pass.

From the East a new dawn stirs. With the new day, I welcome new opportunities.

From the West I lay down my fears, all worries remain here.

These four directions I do so imbue these hopes and wishes will come true. A new land brings us a new home. A new baby brings us love and joy. A new start brings us prosperity and wealth. A comfortable home is what we shall be.

So Mote it Be
