A blog to jounral my journey as a new Wiccan with intention while reaching out a hand to others for conversation, guidance, and friendship.
As I keep learning more about Wicca and witchcraft it’s just such an awesome religion and experience. Even something as simple to me as food and wine offerings and what everyone does with it after. I was never super religious or have traditions so this is actually so cool to me.

I actually realized how crazy the timing is. I started this journey and moved into a new place, officially this place is mine and I’m doing this Wicca journey at the end of the January and beginning this new chapter of my life for Imbolc, when things begin again.

I’ve been doing the tarot card a day. I remind myself that it’s not exact magic. It’s reflection. It’s actually helped a lot the past few days and guided insight. I keep getting repeat cards though which makes me laugh and wonder if I’m not shuffling enough or if that is what it is haha

Deities though and the thought of connecting or naming a god or goddess is so fascinating. I don’t know how far that might go into this book, but I’m already looking forward to the books on deities and myths.

Making time for rituals, whether it’s welcoming the God in the morning or eating breakfast has been difficult. Thankfully I also have therapy and she can help me get better with morning rituals I think.

I’ve only just finished chapter 2 and CUNNINGHAM IS SO RIGHT. It’s so closed minded to assume one religion that as caused holy wars, wiped other religions through censorship and bloodshed, is the ONLY true religion. No religion is right or wrong. Deity and worship is for everyone in their own way!

So this blog or even if its only just this ont ime string of rambling thoughts, is me screaming an intention even if it's to a void where no one hears or cares, safe in anonymity, as I start this journey and record and share my thoughts progress.

Now it says "Do what you want as long as you harm none. Do nothing that will harm yourself." The Wiccan ideal of morality. Not a big change, but it's an intention. An intention to start a change in my life. To follow something that may have always been there and didn't know where or how to look.

And despite a thousand other things I need to do, I went home and started reading the book. Already a few things in, I make a change. Small, but a change. On my refrigerator, I have small magnetic white board and markers. It said "Have a Blessed Day!" An attempt to bring some positivity to the day.

With that clandestine moment, a few other recommendations, and prepaying for a few others, she also gave me a new piece of advice from her teacher. "Draw a card from the deck every day and keep it on you. Look at it every now and then and reflect on yourself and the world around you."

So after doing some more research and finally deciding to grab book, I call up a used book store, who initially said they didn't have Cunningham's book, got there, turns out one of the employees is a Wiccan and saw her search for the book online and had just donated it there from her own collection.

Of course after that I started playing with the tarot deck more and definitely won't take what happened after that card for serious since I was just excited about the start of this journey I've decided to go on, the pretty cards and instant gratification from a tarot deck despite zero experience.

The Guidebook says that the Ace of Swords means "yes" in a yes or no one card spread. But the guidebook also says "This card stands for your principles and the decision to take a new direction." Of all cards, I pulled one talking about going a different way in life, one I'm taking towards Wicca.

After looking at the tarot deck guidebook that meant "YES" which, damn okay pretty clear cut. But the card's meaning itself, or at least what it says in the guide book is what really shook me and made me believe. That silly like tarot stuff now had me still in disbelief.

Those may not have been the exact words, I was shuffling and talking out loud until I had picked the right phrase for probably five minutes. But when I finally pulled a card, it was the Ace of Swords.

So after knocking twice on the deck to get rid of bad juju, shuffling the deck with my eyes closed, I outloud speak my intention to the universe. "Will following the Wicca path help me understand myself, my purpose, and why I am feeling this way?" I was focused and trying to reach out beyond myself.

IN FACT, I have a Sailor Moon tarot deck from an art collaboration YEARS ago that I bought from. I nearly decided to donate since I was downsizing my possessions. I opened it, looked at the directions, did a bit of research if theres a start and stop to it like rituals have.

I was drawn to the ideas of the Dream, Energy, Kitchen (I have my own now yay!), and Hedge witch. And as I was looking up some facets and thinking hard on what drew me down this path. I decided to look into Divination and even, despite what I said earlier, tarot.

So I can say that I have been feeling drawn to a few different things to experiment with. Eclectic and solitary, first of all. A coven seems far too formal for me and eclectic since I've grown an interest in multiple facets.

I've just begun Scott Cunningham's "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practioner". Within a few pages, I had the thought of recording what I'm reading or feeling or my intentions online in a blog. A way of recording and putting my voice out there. Throwing out an invisible hand to others.

Now that stuck with me as I'm researching the different ways, a Wiccan communes with the Gods and Goddesses, what kind of witches there are, maybe to explain how I'm feeling or what direction I should start. But the internet can only help me so much.

I tried to respectfully, I hope, ask questions since I've been going through the internet trying to start a path. I know part of a Wiccan is self discovery but I just felt lost. Among a few things I wrote down while we were talking she said "Leave the things that do not resonate with you."

I recalled a time or two when she told me about purifying a place and closing out... I don't remember if she called it a ritual or not. I had brushed it off back then. Thinking, "whoa thats kind of crazy" or "wow I can't believe that worked". But when I asked her if she was a Wiccan, she said yes.

I've run into two people who practiced. One who told me about it and I came up with the book idea and it her ear for elements to use though she hasn't done it in a while. The other is a friend I talk to maybe one or twice a year, who called me when I started this curious train.

I'll admit a part of my curiosity also had to do with Morrigan also being the name of a character from my current favorite book obsession, but it was like a thread. Now I have ADHD so it could have also been that. Also says how long this little blog might last. But I ended up here anyway.
