Star. Happily Taken. Psychologist. Digital Artist. This is a collective for my personal thoughts and things I obsess over.

I may have been in pieces, but I gave you the best of me.

Are you Haexan as well? We are called many things. For some we are hæxan, witches, hexen, streghe, sorcières, brujas, nornir, veneficas, gwradchod, ... Others think of us as wiccan. We do admit that there are some similarities, but we are not wiccan. So what are we then? Does it really matter? We have no special name. If we might use a sobriquet then 'Hæxan' would do the trick. We live amongst the people. They are afraid of us and they keep distance because we are perceived as 'different'.

I have been called a variety of names growing up due to my "different" beliefs. I was raised by a Catholic Father and eclectic Pagan Mother. Needless to say, when I attended Catholic schools I was treated very unkindly due to my inability to conform to their beliefs. Despite every name I have been labeled as due to my beliefs I chose eclectic Pagan because it made it easier to explain to others. However, I personally do not see myself as any specific label, but more so just a person working towards my own personal enlightenment while within this realm. Regardless, if someone wants to call me a bruja, witch, or anything else it does not bother me. I have learned labels help others identify things and assist them in attempting to understand things outside what is often comfortable. Hope this answered your question and thanks for asking. :)
