My goal until recently, and for a very long time was to move down to Olympia so I could attend Evergreen State… I took a tour there ten years ago, my freshman year of high school and had decided that that’s exactly where I most wanted to be. I wanted so badly to live on campus, which is in the middle of a forest. I wound up opting to go to school in Seattle but I kept seeing Evergreen as my ultimate goal. Now, I’m not so sure.
When my partner went into his training program a few months ago, I knew it was going to change a ton for the both of us, but I didn’t think it would necessarily effect me so darn much lol! More and more we’ve been thinking about changing both our plans to better suit the future and our plans to move around a little bit and see the world. I still want to finish my last degree, but I think I want to hold off on moving south for a little while, and focus more on what i’m doing that’s making me so happy. Which is writing and working and witchery.
Blogging has been so fun because I haven’t ever had the confidence or interest in sharing these aspects of my life with anyone on the net. I’ve had a lot of fun making friends, making foes, making trouble lol. I like being able to be open about what I like to do and things I’ve always wanted to try, especially since some of my family and friends here at home read this and enjoy some of the memories I post about that they shared in. I wont blog forever, but I hope to keep adding ideas to this site and getting honest feedback on discussions. It’s been pretty cool learning about other people, meeting witches just like me and seeing the similarities and differences between my practice and the practices of others.
On another note: my oil failed! Accidentally broke the glass while handling it and didn’t notice the crack for a while, then when I checked on it, lo behold it was RANCID!!! This happened to me twice last year and a few more times the years before lol. I AM one of the clumsiest people I know and I honestly dislike oil, but I find it necessary for some of my ideas and practices. I think I’ve officially given up on the damned oil for a while. I am however starting a new project; more fabric dying! I had a lot of fun back in February dying fabrics with the newly emerging spring herbs and now that summer has come, there’s a whole lot more for me to play with and choose from! I like making dyes more than most other arts and crafts- dying paper, dying fabric- it’s so much fun seeing the odd colors that come from unexpected sources. This week, I try lilac and red alder. AWESOME.
