who is she dear? why is she so important? what does she do? i mean , why is she so special?

I want you to hear something that is very beautiful. It labels some of the goddess. I use Egyptian gods and goddess in my work. Sometimes Greek.

Very beautiful!

cool! but why egiptian? what they have to do? isnt witchcraft something european?

I connect with Egyptian ones more. It doesn't just come from European. Really all the religions back then were closely related to each other. Egyptian again is all death rebirth.

This is how i look at it. Think of religion as a potato. You can have it mashed, fried, baked, cubed etc but when it comes down to it it is still just a potato. Don't go one way and seal off all other learnings from other religions. I believe in Christ. Not necessarily the son of god but about his teachings. I'm not going to discard his words because it isn't my religion. It takes me to the spirit, the universe the potato.

so is a mixed beliefs? how do choose? by yourself?

So the begining moons of the year....spring is all about fertility which deals with flowers growing and babies being born. Wiccan is both. We follow or are guided by the goddess who reprsents everything woman. Fertility, motherhood, etc. There is the Maiden, mother and crone. I find that represents it very well. You start off as the baby or maiden you become the mother and then with age the crone. The Crone then dies and is reborn as the Maiden. It is like Spring goes to summer then fall comes and everything 'dies' and in the winter it is dead or sleeping and then in the spring it is reborn. Fertility is mainly l linked with Imbolc and Beltane (holidays) and then there is Samhain which is halloween which is the day of the dead, all souls night when the veils between our world and the spirit world are thinned. Do you see a pattern? Born-live-die-born-live-die.

It also follows with the cycle of the moon, which is why a lot of the time the Mother Goddess is represented as the moon. In the waxing part of the cycle, she is the maiden, in the full moon, the mother, in the waning, the crone. In the dark part of the moon she dies and is reborn. (Depending on the belief system. This version is from the palaeolithic times, in truth.)

so there are more versions? which one is true? all of them?

Truth is subjective. This version is true to my beliefs. It doesn't change much, but as ages changed the image of the Mother Goddess in her cycles was changed. Mostly it remained the form that I described above though. I just hate making absolute statements because they tend to piss people off.

mmm, so beaing a witch comes from what you want to believe? you do it in your own way? why? many different way of think?

It's not so much what I want to believe, as what I feel is right. I came across this image in a book I was reading, and it made sense to me, so it stuck in my mind and became part of my beliefs.

why did you choosed it? i mean, what have given you? peace? knowledge?

I don't plan to change your mind but can you answer me this? Why did your churches back in the day burn the witches? I thought your god was forgiving and peaceful. Burning witches doesn't seem peaceful especially when most were just midwifes or healers.

What ever feels right for you. Some Pagan's use angels and the virgin marry in their work. It is mainly what they have to offer. What lessons to take. Mary was a good one because she was a huge mother like figure.

so magic exist? is true? hard to believe, and how do you do it? special knowledge? thoughs?

Well not the hocus pocus lets shoot fire at you! I mean i'm sure it could be possible but not likely. I'm a healer. I focus on that magik. I learn the physical herbs and medicine and then I learn the healing energies. If someone hurt themselves and scraped their knees I'll focus my energy and imagine it healing. It doesn't just heal that instant but it heals faster like the next day. We are all connected, humans, trees plants etc.

iusnt that just herbologie? natural medice? why does it works faster? which is the diference?

I personally think if you have good intentions that nothing will go wrong. Just be cautious. If you use herbs make sure you connect with the herb. Make sure its not poisonous or that the person isn't sensitive to it. Fire is a big thing. Make sure you practice safety with it. Don't have a lot of curtains or something near by.
