I am a 51 year-old female and Buddhist principled Celtic pagan witch. That is quite a lot to get your head round, I know, but basically it means that while I practice my art I am always mindful that I do not cast any magic that will cause any lasting harm to life - dispensing a warning shot isn't the same thing and if justified is perfectly ok. I am a strong believer in Karma, the law of what you so shall you reap, so I know that any deliberate harm will only weigh against me at some future date or future life.
I have never kept a blog before, aside from one built into a pagan forum I am a member of, I just thought it might be fun to try one of these things from scratch, who knows, maybe it'll be the start of something big. Or maybe it will fizzle out and die.
The lack of photos at this point is because my camera was part of a haul when our house was broken into a few weeks ago.
About Me
- Hillwitch
- Manchester, United Kingdom
- I am a pagan witch and live in Manchester although I prefer the hill country and spend as much time as I can in the Pennines. I have respect for, and seek my guidance through two Celtic goddesses. The first is Cerridwen - keeper of the cauldron and goddess of wisdom. In Welsh legend, Cerridwen represents the crone. She has powers of prophecy, and is the keeper of the cauldron of knowledge and inspiration in the Underworld. The other goddess is Beira, she is known as the Queen of Winter. another crone aspect of the Goddess, and rules the dark days between Samhain and Beltaine. Beira is a goddess in Scottish mythology and is credited with the creation of many hills and mountains which makes her an earth goddess, she is also credited with being the mother of all the gods and goddesses. Cerridwen I look to for knowledge and understanding of herbs, magic and clairvoyance. Beira is the deity on my altar in the winter, my favourite season, and a time when I feel my magic is at it's strongest.
