My shop

I spent the afternoon yesterday researching starting a business in North Carolina.  I signed up for a couple of seminars over the next couple of months.  I feel invigorated that I am finally on the path to starting my little shop.  I decided that I will begin this as a home business and gradually expand to a store front.  I have reached out to a couple of businesses online and I hope they will be willing to give me any advice.  I have had one response so far.  I have been working up a list of things I would like to carry in my shop.  And although I have very limited space here at home, I am looking for a little shed to put outside that will house my inventory.  My little shop will be my baby.  I have wanted to do this for so long.  I am just glad that I have a husband and daughter who are standing behind me and giving me the courage to pursue this.

I will be going this weekend to look at an office trailer.  The previous owner used it to make ceramics in.  I am hoping to maybe get some of that stuff too lol.  It would be so cool to maybe make my own pottery and sell those things.  I love creating.  I have made 2 rings in the past couple of days for my daughter.  It is a new thing for me.  Its called wire wrapping.  It's actually quite interesting to mold the wire into something.  I will post some of my pictures at a later date.  Blessed Be my lovelies.  Love and light.

I've been away too long

I started this blog as a learning tool and diary so to speak for myself.  I have been meditating on my path and the way I want to live my life for some time now.  I have been doing extensive research on crystals and different paths.  I have been doing a great amount of research on dreams and their meanings.  I spent some time on Facebook asking questions.  I had been having a dream for a couple of weeks about a dragon.  I had initially thought it was because I had been reading books about the subject.  However, in the dream, this dragon was speaking to me and I could not understand her message.  I knew in my heart she was trying to tell me something but I was unable to decipher what she was trying to tell me.  I was only listening with my ears.  I spoke with one of the many brothers and sisters I have found on Facebook and was told to listen with my heart instead of my ears and I would hear what I needed to hear.  I also spoke with a crystal healer and placed a piece of amethyst under my pillow for enhancement of my dreams.  It took a few days, but I was able to discover my dragon's name and the message she was so adament about giving me.  I will not go into details here, because, honestly, the message was meant for me and me alone.  I will, however, tell you that my dragon is beautiful and she has the most angelic face.  She is a constant in my dream state now and I always know I am safe in my dreams as long as she is there.  My dreams are now something that I look forward to each night as I lay down to sleep.  I will continue this blog as my own learning tool and I think I may start a crystal a day section.  There are so many out there with so many different meanings.  I may even throw a section on herbs in here.  Who knows?  The possibilites are endless.  Blessed be my brothers and sisters.  And may the light of the Goddess light your path.

Visions

Had to post this before I lost the feeling.  I have a small dog that stays inside with me.  I take him out every couple of hours to go potty.  Today, just a few minutes ago, I took Merlin outside for his potty break.  Something told me to stop and just close my eyes and listen.  The weather outside is a little windy and around 60 degrees.  I stopped and just stood there.  I closed my eyes and listened.  The wind was blowing and just a little chilly.  I heard a voice, but it was unclear what it was saying.  I will be going back out there to listen again today.  Next time tho, I will be taking a small blanket and sitting a little longer.  I hope it will become clear what I am being told and I will understand,.

My path

I have had an interest in the Pagan/Wiccan lifestyle for quite some time.  I chose this path because it is the one that felt right to me.  I have had several people who have tried to tell me that following this path is heathenistic, and unholy.  I have reason to disagree with these people.  I spent my childhood and part of my adult life being taught that there was only one God and that the only to be faithful and a good person was to go to church every Sunday.  One thing that changed my mind about organized religion was when I was only 17 years old.  I was pregnant and scared and had no idea what I was going to do.  The father of my child came from a very religious family and they made sure I knew how much of a heathen I was for deflowering their son.  They tried talking me into giving my child up for adoption and even had the balls to ask me if I was sure I wanted to have the child.  I knew as soon as the doctor told me I was pregnant that there was only one choice for me.  I would have my child even if it meant raising him/her on my own.  I went through the pregnancy well enough.  My son was born on February 15, 1992.  He was a beautiful child and I love him very much.  I was able to be a mother for a little over two years before I was taken to court and my son was taken from me.  I won't go into the whole sorted story because it would just bring up too many horrible memories of things I would just as soon forget.  Just know that this whole situation was one of the reasons I sought out a path that I could be comfortable with.  I chose to follow the path of Paganism because it is just a natural religion.  I love being outside and I love anything that has to do with nature.  I went astray from this path for a little while and I am now back on track.  I am doing my year and a day learning and I want to be initiated fully into the path.  It will most likely be a solitary initiation but that is ok.  I want this for me and me alone.  I want to be more in tune with the Goddess and the God and I am looking every day for books or anything that will teach me what I need to know.  I am interacting with new people online every day and they are being a big help to me as well.  I know that there is never an end to the learning and I will always be learning new things.  I hope to use this blog as a learning tool as well.  Blessed Be my lovelies.  Merry Meet and Merry Part and Merry Meet again.
