Magickal Happenings with Oshuyn...

I just heard the most amusing comment...that I should stop practicing witchcraft because I have opened the door to the devil and brought out bad energy in everything around, that I need to get rid of my witchcraft stuff and not just throw it away because all the evil spirits that are drawn to it will never leave then, that I need to burn it.

If you could have seen my face or my fists clenching in rage you would have sworn I was going to blow like a corked volcanoe...'stand back dad, she's gonna blow!'.  My daughter was standing there for this conversation I was having on the phone.  She heard what the other person said to me and got the look on her face like 'oh sh*t, mom is gonna loose it'.  With her knowing who I was talking to and me knowing my gifts and beliefs as I witch I calming and nicely asked if they they actually know what 'practicing witchcraft' meant.  "It means bad things".    Nice comeback, seriously. 

If you want to call someone's beliefs out then you better be prepared to discuss what you think or know to be their beliefs.  I don't run around and call you out on your beliefs  I don't question why you carry on about who was nominated as the head of your lady's aid group of your church "did you see what she had on when she stood up to give her speech, and she is our new lady's aid president", "did you taste what they brought for the potluck, we should ask them to come back", "you need to dress nicer everyone is going to see you at church look like that".    I'm not too sure God cares what I wear, I think he cares what I believe and how I act and where my heart and spirit is. 

I think someone needs to make a reality show based around the life of a witch, an everyday witch.  Here is my schedule:

5am:  alarm

5am - 6:15am: make breakfast, start coffee, pack lunches

6:15am - 6:50am:  start sorting through work email while making sure kids get their teeth brushed and have bookbags and get them to the bus on time

6:50am - 8am:  if I have tons of work then work, maybe surf a little on the web, etc

8am - shower, breakfast for me, clean up what was left from the morning in the kitchen and then back to work

9am - 5pm - logged in for work and work my butt off

5pm - 8:30pm -  out to the ranch for chores and to ride some horses

8:30pm - home to get everyone fed, laundry, clean and finish up more work

In all the in-between time I am a mom, wife, daughter, work full time, horse trainer, tarot reader, I find time to cuddle with my kitty and pet my daughter's dog, grocery getter, chef and friend.

My day is no different than most.  I may read a different kinds of books than you in my spare time.  I always have tarot cards, runes and rocks in my purse but who cares I'm sure you have strange things in yours too.  I may burn incense for reasons other than 'just to smell pretty', I may say a prayer at night to my Goddess and God who may be different than who you give thanks to, if you give thanks at all.  But at the end of the day I've accomplished what I need to without any ill will towards anyone.  I have put forth all that I am in thanks for all that I have and is to come.  I may be a little quirky, a little odd, a little free spirited and giggly but if all the above things that make up my day point to me being a witch and 'practicing witchcraft' then My Goddess Bring It On!

Educate yourself before pointing fingers and calling someone out.  It just makes you look less intelligent than you are trying to be...and it's just plain silly.

Be In Your Brilliance!
