To be a Wielder of Magick
To Be a Wielder of Magick
I sometimes wonder about things, many things. One of the things that has been bothering me is the fact that I’m not getting any sales. Perhaps it’s because I’m openly a witch/pagan. I base this statement on this basis. When I date someone, I always tell them that I’m a witch. They begin to ask all kinds of silly questions. Some of them seem to have a fear of me, or rather of what they think I’m going to do to them. Perhaps they have not-so-nice, ulterior motives. At any rate, I think its ignorance most of all. I’ve always been just like I am now. I’ve been a Christian, and I’ve been a pagan. I feel as if I was chosen to be on this path, but I also feel as if I chose this path.
I remember when I was very young. I use to go outside and eat certain flowers. I later learned that these flowers heal people. Whatever you think I am does not matter. Because I am what I am, and I will be what I will be. I am a wielder of magick, and I do work with these natural energies for a variety of reasons. Most of all, it is an inherent part of me.
There was a time when we were looked upon as a welcome acquisition to the community. We were healers and mid-wives. Then along came Christianity with their lies, and their beliefs, and we were branded as the devil’s spawn, devil worshipers, evil, etc. I’m only giving an abbreviated version here. If you look in Strong’s Concordance at the original word, you would see that it meant a person who sells drugs. And it would say sorcerer, sorceress, and one who reads signs and the stars. Of course, that was years ago when I used to study the bible so much. I used the same tools as if I were in a Seminary. Regardless, I do not intend to become something else.
I have a couple of simple rules I use, 1) I don’t do anything to harm someone else, and 2)I try to help others, as well as myself. I work with the energies, and yes, I also cast spells. I don’t have a familiar. But I do have spirits who like my company, and who watch out for me. I’ve also known a few gods to be around occasionally.
I see no reason to hide what I am. Do Christians hide what they are? Why should I? It’s a religion. I practice an eclectic style of paganism. I prefer the old style to the new. I don’t prescribe to any one ‘flavor’ of paganism. I work with energy, intent, incense, candles and little else.
The fact that I openly proclaim what I am should create a sense of trust in buying my products, simply because I’m not hiding anything. I don’t say that my family has been involved in any particular thing for years. It’s not true, so I’m not saying it. I will say that I have been practing a type of mental magick for years.
Here are a few quotes I copied and pasted from the web. They are along the lines of what I have often thought thru the years. I left the quotes in the original font, to differentiate from what I am writing.
“Originally, the idea of witches dated back to early antiquity when Greek and Roman gods and goddesses were thought to be the only magical thing around. The idea of a witch was actually considered a sign of good fortune because the gods had looked kindly down upon you and granted you with the gift of magic.”
“Witches were most often revered in ancient times; often know as being healers of their communities. Think of the traditional Indian medicine man, this is how witches were thought of, women who helped those who were sick. When the rise of Christianity came about, witches were deemed as evil because people could not explain where they received their "powers" to heal.
The height of this condemnation toward witches came in the late 1600's and more often referred to as the Salem Witch Trials. Women and men were both accused of being witches and this usually stemmed from just a single persons accusation. These accusations were also not built on actual seeing of "evil" doings and most often just based on not likening someone or their social status.”
“Women were revered as Earth Mother figures in ancient times. In Greece which was considered the intellectual civilization of the world at that time, crucial political decisions were made by consulting the simple peasant girls who were Apollo's oracles at Delphi.
By the Middle Ages men's earlier awe of woman altered from the point of viewing her as the personification of Mother Nature to that of viewing her as an avaricious and wicked soul. The fact that women produced living humans from their bodies was supernatural itself.
Women were then even blamed for storms and droughts. Men feared that women might gain power, so they dominated them with brute strength and used them as scapegoats. Joan of Arc was tried for heresy, but political power was the real issue involved.”
“The witches were the healers, the midwives, the chemists made from herbs, the seers, they were revered in the old religions before Christianity and the other religions came on the scene.”
. I practice alone. I don’t belong to a coven. I make my own way.
I suppose that’s all for now. If anyone has questions, please send email to intent@ninasproducts.com and I will try to answer your questions.

Recession...might be best time to buy remodeling supplies?
Hi all,
I was just thinking about my construction and remodeling sub domain. It isn't generating as much income as I expected. Perhaps it's because of the economy. But then I was also thinking, it might actually be the best time to buy right now. The prices might be lower, and we all know that with winter and the holidays coming, prices will go up. So why not buy what you need from these people while the prices are relatively low?
If you agree, then head over here and check out these people.
Even if you don't buy anything, at least you'll know they're there when you do decide to remodel. And we all know that when we make improvements to our home, it increases in value.
peace and thanks,

A Lesson Learned From A Mayonnaise Jar And Two Beers
by Bonnie Boots
Working on the internet is often overwhelming. There's always more to know, more to learn and more to do than seems possible.
When you're feeling overwhelmed, when it seems almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember this story of the mayonnaise jar and the two beers.
A professor stood before his philosophy class with a few simple items on the table before him.
He picked up a very large, empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the last remaining little spaces.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded with a unanimous 'Yes.'
The professor then produced two bottles of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life."
"The golf balls are the important things: your family, your children, your health, your friends. If everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car and your other possessions."
"The sand is everything else---the small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life."
"If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you."
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner.
Play another 18 holes."
"There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled and said, "I'm glad you asked."
"The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers with a friend."

two moose
Hi All,
This is something I thought of today, while my daughter was telling me she thought she might have heard a moose last night.
"A moose was out walking and came across a trailor. He walked up to the window and looked inside. He went away shaking his head. When he arrived home, he says to Mrs. Moose, "You wouldn't believe what I just saw!"
"What did you see, Mr. Moose?" she asked.
"I just saw what I think were humans living in a can. But instead of it being round, it was rectangular."
"Who would've thought such a thing possible?" Mrs. Moose said.
"I've heard of sardines in a can. But humans????" replied Mr. Moose. copyright 2009 ravnone1
I hope you all enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.
peace
