In Memory of Grandpa George

It started around Halloween this feeling creeping in that things were about to change. . . The world as we know it shall and 2016 being that wrapping up year amongst the changes that the Year of the Monkey brings in preparation for the year of the Rooster the beginning of a Nine year cycle.

I guess it makes sense that the series of odd, supernatural things that took place was spirit warning of a death in the family, furthermore Grandpa George was a Gemini Rooster and his been ready to leave this earthly plane for some time. He has lived a long and fruitful life he lived to see World War 2, 1950’s, 1960, 1970’s and the 1980’s. Thinking about all those huge changes and into the millennium, it’s insane to the world has become what it is today. I’m not prophesying a 3rd world war but that level of change will take place.

During the Super Moon in November around the 14th, Strange things kept happening, lights flickering, things being moved, strange dreams and then came the doorbell ringing 3 times in consecutive days - The superstition that if nobody is there that it symbolises a death in the family. The black bird twice crashing into my bedroom window.

I have been saying since October I had a feeling someone was going to pass away, and I guess by November I was certain. I guess people often see me as overly superstitious, a bit more than average on the strange side, and always talking about things that people think are “far out or far fetched”, that it’s not until something like this happens that people take notice.

It’s not to say I told you so, I just wish people would listen to me at least sometimes, I would not of known such things i guess if it wasn’t of importance, I had been telling my mom for 2 months to call Grandad and because life, and busy schedules she never did. Losing a loved one is hard, and there is nothing you can do to change the past what I know for sure is that he is free and probably looking forward to creating havoc in his cheeky chappy mischievous way even in spirit.

I feel all grandad George wants now for the generations he left behind is for his family to come together and to be together. There is a running theme of heart conditions through that side of the family and that to me is symbolism of wounds needing healing.

Happy Halloween - The Archetype of the WITCH

The Witch

“My darling girl, being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It Rather denotes a lack of courage!”

The Archetype of a Witch is to my greatest pleasure changing… For years a Witch would be seen as a hag, a woman with warts, green skin, cackling laugh, seen to curse all who crossed her path, flies around at the strike of midnight all in all a devil worshiper and freak of nature.

Symbolically a thing to not aspire to be, a disgrace, hideous and bad thing.

When in actual fact looking back to the Witch trials the women condemned of witchery were the outcasts of society, the healers, the loners, the forward thinkers, those who were independent and not of the norms.

In a time such as then, I guess it was not seen of a woman to exhibit such ways, to speak her mind, to be an individual was something to be feared because it was different... Women for centuries have been oppressed, unempowered and suppressed, finally we are reaching a time where the Witch is something to be proud of and aspired to be.

To be independent, different, fierce, and to hold power within your own hands. To be a person whose identity is her own and to think for oneself.

There is a little witch inside all of us. . . Embrace all that makes you unique and create magic wherever you go.

Tonight is all Hallows Eve the day before Día de los Muertos and two days before All Souls Day!

Light your Jack O'Lantern to ward off evil spirits on Samhain as it’s a time where the veil between worlds collide - The dead is said to return back and so that is why we dress up on Halloween to trick the spirits  aha ha. Any who Just light a Pumpkin tonight and allow the candle to burn out on its own never blow it out it’s meant to be an open invitation for any spirit to enter the home or something like that =) It also is a way of guiding your ancestors home.

Then the 1st and the 2nd is a time to remember those who came before us, remembering those who have passed over keeps a little piece of them alive. I guess you can look at the 31st as the welcoming home celebration, the 1st to share stories and the 2nd to say goodbye again… It’s also a pagan holiday like that of the new year, where we celebrate all that we have achieved this year so far and all that we put forward for the year ahead.

Okay I’m off now to do some witchy stuff - Happy Halloween my fellow witches!! X x x
