The first post of any blog is more challenging than the ones to follow. What do you want to say? And how do you start this thing without coming off the wrong way (Look at meeee!!!!!)? I guess I'll start by introduction. I'm a Mom of magical persuasion, homeschooling a daughter who, at first writing, is ten years old and rapidly exiting the world of very young childhood. Actually, she's left that world already and is making a quick ascent to the teenaged years, something I find baffling in that it seems only yesterday we were nervously buckling her into the car seat in my old Kia for the first time. My husband and I own a family based construction business and live in humid, swampy South Florida (I'll try not to complain about that too much, but, being a northern girl who loves the cooler air, mountains, and New England in general, I will probably digress from time to time). I'm a writer, and an artist, a lover of nature, and a mostly vegetarian (try being a vegetarian when you're married to a Cajun-I dare you!). I've been involved in some or other sort of Pagan lifestyle since the late 80's, when the Goddess culture had begun in earnest, and I met a guy in college who'd met a girl who was a witch of sorts and who both passed along some of their knowledge to me, who'd never before been exposed to such things and was intrigued. My path to date has been a wonderful and eclectic one indeed, at times confusing, at other times liberating. I find the challenge of following a path and living a spirituality not widely understood by the general public to be an exercise in fierce independence, though nowadays I think there is a bit more open mindedness and understanding among some folks than there used to be.
What I'd like from this blog is to share and connect. I'll post creative ideas, homeschool stories, spiritual blips...whatever comes to mind, basically. I hope to learn from other magical parents, to grow in my own life through the catharsis of putting ideas to virtual paper, and have a little fun.
Until later, namaste!
