I’m your not-so typical witchy mom who has mostly practiced as a solitary, and came to my witchy ways very intuitively.  I was always drawn to magic and mysticism as a child, and began to research it along with many other religions during my matriculation at Spelman College.  I found most of the things I studied had the same basic rules: Don’t hurt anyone else, Don’t kill folks, Don’t steal people’s shit … It was pretty simple with differences based on cultural boundaries that were in place when the religion developed.  I found I was most drawn to spiritual practices that were more flexible like Wicca and New Thought Ancient Wisdom.

There were many different forms of both, and they encourage you to think for you self and choose that parts that resonate with you out of the spiritual tradition without invalidating.  When I realized that almost all of the world’s religions had the basic tenants I concluded that they must be based in some spiritual truth that started form a pure singular place, but that all developed in different directions. To me that means no one path can hold itself above another because of the path it developed on.  Whatever path leads you to enlightenment and spiritual alignment and joy is the one you need to be on. I found the world of mystics, magick, faeries, and angels to be mine.

I'll be posting tidbits from the book I've been writing: Witchy Bitch: A Sister-Girl's Guide to Witchcraft and Everything Else.

Blessed Be!
