A real witch.....



I just realized that it is possible I know the ancient ways through a priestesshood, as that feels right, but what also feels right and what I am most strongly drawn to though it's rather a tie between do I want to see myself as a priestess....all lightness love and compassion or do I want to be a wild wise woman witch?  I think I opt for the latter and I do it joyfully, gleefully....and I am my own sort of witch, not bound by any traditions that don't feel right to me......and I aspire to be these things (for starters........I have much to dis-cover....: ) 

A real witch eats raw garlic every day
A real witch uses sacred and healing oils daily as offerings in rituals, as aromatherapy, as medicine, as food
A real witch is knowledgeable about the properties and uses of medicinal healing herbs, and goes out and gathers them and uses them daily, in teas and tonics and for all sorts of things
A real witch loves a rainy day.............especially the misty cloudy days one can walk out and about in.............
A real witch craves a wild open meadow full of wild flowers and plants, and all sorts of creatures from large to small
A real witch lives wild and free
A real witch howls at the moon and lives where she can see the Milky Way.
A real witch is aware of the phases of the moon, knows where it is, if it's waxing or waning....
A real witch loves to go out and about in the dark of night, full moons favored.....dark moons are used for dark purposes of which a good witch is knowledgeable but not practiced in.
A real witch does not have a television or a microwave,  but she sometimes has a computer and a cellphone.
A real witch cooks with fire.
A real witch wears real clothing made from organic cotton, flax, wool and fibers such as silk and rayon.  Most of which are hand-made, always interesting and practical. (Except for the wild fun fancy clothes for the many moods and celebrations)
A real witch eats fruits and vegetables that are organic and local, cultivated and wild, in season....eats meat and sweets in moderation.
A real witch celebrates full moons, eclipses, changing of the seasons, bounty of the earth, equinoxes, and all natural events of note.
A real witch smells of woodsmoke, garlic, earth, sweat, jasmine and sandalwood, sage and rosemary, mugwort and raspberry.....
A real witch has a garden, wild and wooly and full of surprises
A real witch knows how to birth a baby
A real witch loves candles, and pens and ink and paper, loves being creative in many ways
A real witch fully inhabits her sexuality
A real witch is highly in tune with her surroundings, the universe, inner and outer, is keenly perceptive to the point of clairvoyance
A real witch is definitely out of the norm
A real witch is me.
