What Does a Witch Do?

Well, the question should perhaps be, what is a Witch's life like, anyway? Over the years, I've been asked one constant question so many times, I can't recall the number anymore...."how and when did you realize you were a Witch?". My reply has varied as the years progressed, but suffice it to say, I just knew--from a young age, in fact. I just didn't know what it was called, so as a young girl, I assumed I was just overly sensitive and extremely different. But honestly, you just know. There are magickal women in my family tree, but they never referred to themselves as Witches. There is a common thread, though. We all share the gift of second sight, of deep sensitivity, of photographic memory, and the ability to perceive the world as a place of expansion and possibility rather than contraction and limitations. A Witch bends or shapes energy through positive intention, deep focus, firm belief and will.
I received the High Priestess training in 1992 through a lovely woman named Rhiannon, but it was simply a formality to enable me to carry the title and lead others responsibly on the magickal path. It taught me direction and solidified my identity, and from that time forward, I have always lived between the worlds without fear...a place that sparkles, flows, echoes and resonates with my very soul.
I am nurturer, wife, chihuahua mommy, teacher of metaphysics, Wiccan business owner, spiritual counselor, wellness coach, energy healer, parapsychologist, etc....the list grows as I pursue new avenues for growth. And there is one word that encompasses every facet of my being, Witch. If it is magick you seek, in whatever form---kind and loving energy exchange---please keep reading. I have so much to share with you! Blessed Be!
