Dear Me,

I am sorry I have hurt you.

It has taken me so many years until now to realize that the one love you deserved the most all along was from me. I'm sorry I never know how to love you and the pain you felt when it was easier not to love you at all. The thing is, you are the one that needs my love he most and I was the one who treated you the worst.

I spent most of my life judging how you looked - telling you all the time that you weren't pretty enough, thin enough, and good enough. When you tried to rise and be strong, I would put all kinds of doubt in your mind instead of supporting you with love. I even made you believe that the opinions of others were most important. I made you believe that if someone hurt you it was all your fault. I made you believe that your worth was based on other people's opinions and actions. But I am telling you now, I was wrong.

I was wrong to make you believe that anyone who didn't see you for you mattered. They don't. I know you spent so much energy trying to get approval of others because I never gave it to you. This only put you in situations over and over again where you felt destroyed inside. You felt broken when someone you loved hurt or betrayed you because you believed your worth depended on the love you received from them.

The truth is... you are an amazing loving soul. All the things you view as imperfections are what make you the beautiful person you truly are. Love deeply the ones who see you for you and love you unconditionally. Let go of those who don't. For the ones who choose to hurt instead of love are battling their own self worth issues. I'm telling you, they should not have a single affect of how you view yourself.

I realize now the importance of telling you to let go of what no longer serves you. The love you have to give is only worthy to those who understand this. I see now the thoughts that I've put in your mind have damaged you and caused so much emotional pain. You have suffered depression and anxiety because I blamed you for never being good enough for anyone... especially me.

These thoughts came from experiences I had as a child and never learned how to process them. I see now the thoughts I gave you of trust issues, fears of abandonment, and the need to be loved even in unhealthy ways came from experiences that were not my fault. I have learned from these circumstances. They no longer need to define who I am, they no longer need to reflect negatively on you.

I am sorry for not loving you all these years, but I'm learning how to now. From this day forward, I promise to make choices each day to be more supportive, more encouraging, and more loving to you than the day before. I believe this will, in turn, reflect out from you for everyone around you to see you are even more amazing that you already were all along.

Love,

Me.

We Are Better Together.

I urge everyone to remain strong in your faith for this country, but more importantly, the power of God. Remain strong in your faith in God. None of this has taken Him by surprise, it is all a part of His divine plan for our lives. His word says that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts meaning we have to have faith in all that He does despite how insane it appears. We…

Acceptance...

Acceptance…

You will find yourself sorely disappointed and discouraged if you are constantly looking to others for some form of validation or acceptance, never give anyone that much power. All that you are is sufficient. You are here to fulfill whatever your purpose is and please our maker. You are not here to satiate man. Remain humble in your personal conquests. Never welter in aspirations to conform, but…

The Apathy and Altar Ego of our Kind Author: ShadowDarkFyre The question I find myself asking is “Why is it that our kind seems to be apathetic?” While many of us are enthusiastic in our apparent “renaissance”, just as many simply don’t believe, or find it hard to. This is a quandary I find I face every day as I look upon the world today. And that’s honestly not the only problem I see in the community these days. For more than sixteen years I’ve been what I term “magickfolk”. During eight of those years I’ve been active, working through the Domain and Realms. Some of you have been here with me just as long or longer. And even if you haven’t, I know you see what I see sometimes. We’re in an odd time. And in this odd time, it seems, there are groups of us who are cliquish. Some are even xenophobic. And those of us who donnae’ belong to a group are afraid to because of how we were treated in the past… even though the groups they hoped for are just there within reach. The sad thing is that we seem to be dooming ourselves to being alone in our community. There are groups who are elitist, others who are cliquish and still others who take the nature of what we are and get it severely backwards, causing more harm than good. This is an ugly truth, but a truth all the same. We should be able to believe enough in our collective selves to stand against this tide of apathy and loss of hope and belief. We are magickfolk. We come from the impossible. We are the impossible. This should be nothing for us. Yet we shoot ourselves in the proverbial collective foot. And we keep doing that when we keep being judgmental of each other. Case in point: I just finished reading an article by one Bronwen Forbes titled How Pagan Is Pagan Enough? That is a prime example of what I’m talking about. Frankly, it saddens me. We should know better. To those of you groups who make it that difficult for the rest of us to connect and come together, here’s a thought: Lower your nose a couple miles. A Christian rock band by the name of Petra that did a song called Altar Ego. One lyric goes, “And you look both ways before you pray, just to see who’s watching you today.” As a Christian Mystick (another story for another time, folks; suffice it to say, I’m magickfolk) , I’m used to seeing this rather counterproductive attitude among those of the Religious Right. What I’m not used to is seeing it among us. We’re supposed to be an example of being better and more open than this. Like many of us who see this, I have to ask: What is wrong with us? This community is not served by attitudes of elitism and cliquishness. It only harms us. Instead of being picky, or worrying about whether or not one’s attire fits your idea of what is pagan or magickal enough, take the risk and the burn of time to open your doors and your hearts to help teach and educate those of our community. And to realize that it’s not what you wear or look like that determines how magickal you are, but what you hold in your heart and carry in your soul. We’ve been hiding behind doors for too long. This attitude I hear of and see evidence of isn’t helping us as a whole. All it’s doing is hurting us. For those of you who have worked for years to help knit the magickal community together, I applaud you, for I know from experience it isn’t easy. Don’t give up hope in finding our own and reaching out to them. Don’t give up hope in helping to make our community stronger, and in bringing people together who want and need this community. They’re out there. It just takes patience and faith. And as spread out as we are as a movement/community, they’re alone without those of our kind out there to show them the way. When they find us, it’s a relief to them that they’re not alone. So don’t close your doors ever. Don’t ever turn out the light at the door or in the window. They need to find their ways home, and we have to be their candlebrights in the window. Keep your lanterns on. To those of you who are seeking: We’re out there. We’re here. Whether it’s the Domain, or others like Circle Sanctuary, or the local community that orbits around your nearest metaphysical/magick shop. I know it’s hard to believe that you’re not alone, or that you won’t always be turned away. It’s hard to believe. It’s hard to hold on. But you’re not alone. Just walk a little farther, look around another corner, and step through another door. You’ll find us. Like Motel 6, we’ll always keep the lights on for you. Don’t give up. You’re not lost. You’re almost home. We’re a community, ladies and gentlemen. A unique community. Whether we be mysticks, Christians alternates, druids, Pagans, witches, Wiccans, Buddhists, Taoists, Shintoists, spiritualists, or any number of those who have mixed beliefs, what we have in common is our belief in magick, mysticism, and the spirit, however we might perceive it. Again: We. Are. A Community. Perhaps we should start acting like it a little more, and not think so much on that which doesnae’ matter. As Misty-Eve of A Word To The Wise would say, … “it’s something to think about.” As we say among my fellow Domani, I wish you Good Dreaming and Blessed Be. -Shadow _________________________________ Footnotes: Bronwen Forbes – “How Pagan Is Pagan Enough?” Posted by, phynxrizng

CLARIFICATION....THE CRONE SPEAKS...

There has been much said about positive,negative magick, and the three fold law, personally, I don't care what someone practices in there path, but I do feel that everyone has a right to information on the topics, whether they choose to follow it is up to them but I feel every Witch, should be well educated, so they can make an educated choice. No one has the right to tell someone else what is right and wrong in their practice, or that what they feel is right, is wrong...Just accept, that there will always be differences in what one believes from another, don't judge. For this reason I practice Solitary, I was trained in Wicca, but, I didn't care for the politics, and didn't always agree with what was followed, does that make me a bad Witch?....NO, it just means that I follow a different path, but we all are striving for the same outcome, but may achieve it differently....accept your brothers and sisters, for who they are, embrace them, because if we Witches, begin to fight amongst ourselves, we've defeated our purpose...leave the politics out, gather your knowledge, store it away, use it or not....but love one another... Acceptance, is powerful, if you want acceptance, give acceptance...by doing so YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, IN THIS WORLD...

What I just love about RuPaul's Drag Race,is that it is so open minded. My mom and I are literally calling each other from different states freaking OUT over this!!! Plus, my daughter is sitting right here with me (and her father too), watching this. We have never had any hate or anything else over anyone, and I am so glad that my daughter can grow up in a household where her parents will accept her ANY way she could ever be, and know from her childhood that it is ok. I just LOVE this. I am soooooo happy that I just decided to blog, so YEAH.
