Dear Santa- Define "Good"

  Oh another day begins & here we all are co-existing together in Blogland! Today I want to show you a Holiday decoration with my own sick special twist. As you all may have figured out by now I am Wiccan. I guess you could say I am a practicing Wiccan. But really I did all the practicing a long time ago & now I am pretty darn efficient with it. Okay so here is my Holiday decoration with a Wiccan twist.



 I got the wood piece from Michael's Crafts on clearance after Halloween. It has been sitting on my desk waiting for inspiration to strike. Well it struck alright. Like a backhand to the face!


This is what it looked like staring at me except it was on my desk. (wow do my stools need a makeover...eeek!) I took a piece of cardboard & after measuring the size I would need, cut it & took it outside for a couple a three coats of Chalkboard paint. I had no idea how this was gonna work on cardboard but I am thrilled to say it did! Of course the chalk priming seems to have oozed its way in a bit more than I would have liked. But I am not striving for perfection here. (ok maybe just a little) I painted my Jack O' Lantern & gave him a little Santa hat. I hot glued that on also I hot glued a little white pompom on the end of the Witch hat just for @#$%'s & giggles. Here is my wording up close.

 
 Dear Santa - Define "Good"
 You know cause I would like to figure that out one day. I mean just how hard is one supposed to work at that? Do you see where I'm coming from on this? I'm sure you do. I can just picture you all sitting there, looking like a bobble head going "yup, yup"
 Okay..one more look see.

Wicca Basics

Deciding to become Wiccan most definitely has to be a personal choice. I decided quite a few years ago (29yrs ago to be exact) that the Wicca way was just what I had been searching for. It did take quite some time for me to come out of the "broom closet" so to speak. For the longest time my children did not even know. Recently my mother-in-law found out (that could be a whole other blog!) You must do some deep soul searching, as one should with choosing any religion. I'm very happy with my choice & do not hide the fact now that I am a witch. (in fact most people I know would agree with that quite readily!) I wear a broomstick necklace with the words "Blessed Be" on it & yes, people ask me about it all the time. I get, "Oh, you must be a witch. ha ha ha". And I reply " Actually, yes I am". Sometimes you could hear crickets chirp after I say that, but if a person already knows you & knows the type of person you are, they usually accept it & you with no problems. In fact you would be surprised as to how many people want to talk to me about past experiences, someone they know, or just what is "Wicca" in general. As I said earlier, find who you want to be & what you would like to represent as your belief system. Go with your gut & not what you have been raised to believe. ( yeah, that part may be tough if your mom or grandmother , etc, would look at you like you have three heads). My ten year old grandson is proud of his Grandmama the Witch.  Happy hunting as to who you really are.
Blessed Be
