Now it is official

A year of beauty. A year of plenty. A year of planting. A year of harvest. A year of forests. A year of healing.A year of vision. A year of passion.
A year of rebirth.

This year may we renew the earth.
This year may we renew the earth.

Let it begin with each step we take.
And let it begin with each change we make.
And let it begin with each chain we break.
And let it begin every time we awake.

–Chant from the
Reclaiming Samhain Celebration 

Now, I think I’ve made it official. I am now a witch - ohhh…. scratch that… Is there any form of “male” witch? A Warlock? A wiccan dude?

Ohh never-the-mind! Witch will fit anyway…

Yesterday, Oct. 29, was a new moon. My ideal day for my “Blessing of implements”. I blessed my tools for my altar, and my candles and my stones. Yes, I was actually able to find those things, and I am now able to setup my own altar. It’s just that I don’t have the space since our house is the new “inuman” county of all the tambays in my vacinity, thanks to my brothers.

I don’t know what happened to my so-called house, but that’s a different story.

Anyway, I think I have everything I need, except for the God and Godess statues. Colored candles, the four tools: wand, Athame, cup, a ring (my sub for the pentacles), a boline, some oils, inscence (Thankies MIAO) and even a book of shadows.

But for the mean time, I’ve got to keep it from my immediate family. I don’t want to shock them, but I know it will be ok. I’m already the established “wierdo” of the family anyway.

On to another story: 

But I was shocked earlier. I was buying food at Jolibee earlier, and I have an old lady in front of me with her husband. I looked on her graying hair which is somehow colored with a golden tinge, then a picture popped into my mind. I literally saw it flash in front of me. I saw her face as if she were dead. Pale, White and all. 

I tried to wipe it off my mind, but it stuck there for a couple of seconds. Then she was off, with her husband.

I was a bit scared of what I saw, because I believe in omens, but I don’t want to give any one “definite hints” of things to come since it is like controlling their free wills.

Anyway, I just thought  of writing this down. So that I wont forgetwho and what I am now.

Indeed, Samhain is a new beginning.
