i'm not sure

i'm not sure why i got the urge to write here today. i've been working on a real book of shadows. not a collection of ideas i thought would fit me, but what actually does after over ten years of being a witch. this simple handwritten tome with a beautiful gothik fayrie adorning the cover is giving me a feeling that perhaps i am finally coming into my own here. no more going with someone else's ideas of what it means to be a witch. this is all me. i've tried to write one before. i even have all of those failed attempts lying about. some things i used. mostly they are basic librams of runes and symbols with a touch of herb guides. this time i am truly laying out my foundations and this makes me feel more complete. i think i will do a rededication once i have completed this task. my views on some things are not exactly wiccan but have a place in my faith. wiccans tend not to like people like me. no that came out wrong. they do not understand people with my gifts and only see the negative side of them. yet they forget that a balance is constant and if one learns to use their talents they can control and contain things that could harm. it is sad really. i will be working on this a while i believe. i know it will never be complete. a true book of shadows is lovingly handed down and edited as each new reader makes adjustments that work for them. i'll go more into my gifts in another post but these are not for now.

Fay

tropical storm fay was wet and fun. seriously, if you live in florida and freak out over a simple tropical storm you need to move. my fiance and i saw people driving like idiots and literally freaking out. above is an image taken when the eye of the storm was leaving our area and since the lower part of the storm had almost no wind and light pacific northwest rain we decided to survey the area and check on the house his mother is trying to sell. a little street flooding and our power blinked a few times but never stayed out for more than five minutes. some people are without power and some main streets are closed because of flooding. but if you live here these things are expected. you don't move to la and think an earthquake is impossible so why live here and think a storm won't come? i hate people some days.
