Now it is official

October 29, 2008

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.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again anyway…

Welcome to the Old Ways. :D

And yah, the technical term for us would have to be “male witches”. Warlocks have negative connotations, and we’re not exactly qualified as wizards either. Also, druids are of a different breed altogether.

About your premonition, remember what I told you before about your untapped potentials? I wouldn’t want to scare you, but it might be starting. Just remember to read them as signs, and not for what they literally mean. Also, it might be related to Samhain, being the season for endings and beginnings. I had my own visions last Wednesday too, but that’s a different story for another blog. :P

In any case, if you wanna talk some more about visions and signs, you know where to look. ;)

Blessed be.

@Miaozer
I’m not really scared. I am actually more scared to make other people know who I really am… Well, “Witch” still does not have a good connotation.

Ohh… BTW, thanks for the DR. Horrible Sing Along Blog. Na LSS ako dun sa “My eyes” na kanta hahaha…

@not safe
See?! I told you I was not kidding. Anyway, I am still me…

@_@

Well, like what I’ve told you before, there’s no need to advertise. And there’s no need to be scared, yes, even of that. You will scare some people (believe me, I KNOW), but you will eventually meet people to will accept you for who you are, for what you do, and with whatever abilities you may possess. :)

To quote Leona Lewis: “It’ll all get better in time…”

Meanwhile, patience my Padawan… Patience… ;)
