 I have managed despite the heat of last few days to really begin work on my bucket list, as you can see above i have been fine tuning my skills as a crochet artist, I have been enjoying the privilege of testing some of the patterns from Smoothfox (who is located here on blogspot).

She shares amazing patterns with you for free, and lets her super fansbecomes testers for her, some of the patterns can be purchased individually or as part of her new pattern books/ You can check her out here: Smooth Fox Lover Crochet Designer.  Along with my other fave artist :

To aide in getting used to crocheting I have also sought out and joined several Meetup.com Crochet groups which are local to my area, and I have managed to meet some amazing people through these events. So I have shared my Bucket List triumpth with you, unfortunately my camera is broken so i will be posting all the stuff i have already done, and I'll let ya'll know all the stuff i'll be working on as its getting done.

Monday Movies Reviews:

So I have been diligently ( o_O) working on completing my Summer Reading list as well as my Summer Movies list. I would love to share with you some of the things I have seen so far.

Movie Worth Seeing:

Lilies of the Field (1963) .... Homer Smith  this stars Sidney Poitier

OM Goddess this movie is really amazing, from beginning to end it was engaging and funny and straight to the point and it was really good. I loved this movies from beginning to end.
It reminded me that not all good movies must have things being blown up and destroyed for the plot to make sense sometimes the simple things can be the most beautiful.

Definitely : Four out of Four Magical Broomsticks

If you get a chance to check it out, do and enjoy

& as always My loves

Try not to be this witch because it is never a good look

Interospection and Doubts

Being Pagan means always learning "more" about ourselves, the world around us and our faiths.  Tonight was the full moon and this moon carries so much energy and yet not for the first time in a long time i didn't feel the need to cast a circle and practice.(what how why so shocking)

As I have said in my bio i have been a practicing pagan for over 17 years and I'm beginning to feel the burn out.  A lot has been running through my mind and the one question that seems to keep popping up is "how much of my practice is simply a rebellion?" I know one doesn't follow a faith for this long as a simple rebellion but .......

This full moon inspired some deep reflection and introspection on my part and I feel as if I have been avoiding this question for a long time.  It is wise to question everything one believes and to continually (especially to yourself) question "WHY" you believe what you do. Even the Witch's Pyramid is so stated " To Know, To Dare, To be Silent" (although the last part doesn't really pertain to this situation)

I'll explain how some of this came about a few weeks ago I had the privilege of being interviewed by a younger pagan in the community for her class projects on faith and she asked some tough questions. (Boy did she put me on the spot and call me to the carpet) And it has made me really question

"How much of our faith is ingrained within from previous religions and how much is simply rebelling against the status quo?"

I know why I choose this path (or sometimes it seems like it choose me).for me being here felt like home but why do I stay? Especially when I know how my family feels about it? Is it the one thing I truly feel in charge of ? (yeah like the Gods really let us have ALL the control) Sometimes I feel so guilty because I will feel like an "arm-chair" pagan/witch(don't gimme that look you know what it is!! Ok for those who don't its the person who knows alot of stuff but doesn't really practice all of the tenets of the faith)

I have been feeling disquiet a lot lately and I have begun to wonder why ? Does it mean I am to change paths or am I in need of deeper wanderings? Is there more that I am not feeling or seeing?

Could it be that I have outgrown this path? Or am I simply blindly moving in a circle while my path is laid out before me waiting for me to seek more from it than I already am?

I don't know readers, I haven't felt the Goddess moving in my life in a while perhaps I'm just not looking deeply enough, or maybe its time to move on (it has taken me forever to even think this much less write it)

Tell me how you feel and what do you do in these moments, when the doubts begin to surface and the presence of the Goddess is but a distant memory?

Bread Success & Failures

Bagels and Pita bread

So I spent the weekend attempting to make bread and learning new recipes to add to the repertoire. But as with all experiments they are successes and sometimes Epic Failures.

My flat bread attempt was an EPIC failure, I think because the yeast didn't properly rise, but either way it was a failure.

The bagels were an amazing success, my family really loved it!!! They ate them all, we had a few friends over so they went fast.

I loved making them because they were so easy and you know all the ingredients included and know just how clean the place is that made them (because I always wonder when I go out how clean is the place really, I know Don't. Look. At. Me That.Way. I'm a germaphobe and I freely admit it)

Well since I have shared all my info about my failures and success please share yours with me.

My apologies :

I am on my knees for ya'll (get your mind outta the gutta!!).

 I am so so so so sorry, I know I promised to write three times a week but i just couldn't seem to get up the nerve to really write something. I had some ideas but they just didn't seem to really belong on the blog.

In truth I have been suffering from what the old folks used to call Ennui (otherwise known as the blues). I just couldn't get interested in anything, I would film many things take tons of pictures but i just couldn't get up the "pizzaz" or excitement up to make the blogs.

But I am back now and I can't wait to share all I have been learning over the summer.

I have even found some amazing blogs that I have enjoyed reading which have helped me understand how I want my blog to go.

So I apologize sincerely

& thanks so much for stopping by and reading

Love and light always
