Merry meet everyone, Today's post is the last of the my pagan life challenge and the last question is: What have you learnt this year? What are your spiritual/pagan goals for next year? So my answer for the first question is so many things. I learned more about different gods and goddesses this year which was my plan from the beginning as I wanted to understand different deities and which ones I may like to work with in the future. I have also learned a lot about herbs and different blends that can help enhance health ect. The latest thing I have learned is about the Ogham Celtic runes which uses tree magic and that is where I am starting my new year learning. I do believe I have learned so many different aspects this year but theses are the main ones I remember learning. I also learned that working in my book of shadows weekly helped me connect more with my faith. I have started to work in a new book of shadows which will be full of spells and rituals ect and I have gotten three other books which are all handmade by the same seller as my book of shadows but I wanted to have set books for different topics. This will help me not fill my books as fast and also keep it to the main information in each. My green Celtic tree one is going to be my main focus book where I will write all my spell works and blends ect that I make. Then I have one for herbs, one for basic information such as the ogham that I am learning at the moment and the other may be kept as a spare or used for crystal work I haven't decided yet. I will go into more information in the future posts. To answer the second question my plan and goals for the following year is: - To learn more about Celtic magic and the magic about trees. - To learn more about tea readings and also palmistry as they are both aspects I would love to get into. - To work more with herbal blends in my craft and to enhance my understanding of herbs. - To continue to work in my multi books weekly depending on the subject and to work more with my altar now its been moved into my front room. I will most likely set more goals for myself which I will mention nearer samhain but for now I believe thats it for the my pagan life challenge. I hope you enjoyed following my weekly posts on this and I do hope you continue to enjoy my future posts when ever you stop by. I will see you all in the next posts, and if you have any ideas about future topics you would like me to work on let me know in the comments bellow. Until next time.

Today's question is: What dopes this time of year mean to you? Right so first of all this time of year is very busy because of work but also because its the summer holidays. This will be coming to an end this week or next week for some. This is also a time where I look forward to my birthday in September. Its also getting to the end of summer and going towards autumn which is my favourite season. Magically this time of year is about planning for marbon and for me personally planning on what I want to learn for the future year. I normally start my future planning around October but for this year I am doing it around my birthday just to get more organised for the future year. This time of year is also a time where I remember my great grandmother who has passed as it is around her birthday and I always have a picture of her on my altar and some flowers around her day of passing and her birthday. What does this time of year mean to you all? Let me know in the comments bellow and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Today's question is: What advice can you give to a new pagan? Well firstly don't try to follow other people. Find a starting point that interests you and go off from there. You do need to know some sort of history to fully understand what the faith is and why its about. But for the magic aspects find something that you are really interested in and research, speak to others in groups, theres so many different pagan and witch groups on facebook alone that are so helpful and would happy to help you on your path. Don't over do it as well. I have been doing this since I was a child so no matter when you start you won't be at the level as others and thats fine. Its all about how you grow and learn in the path not how fast you can get to point z from point a. Its not a race and no matter how much you learn or think you have learned you will never learn everything. Magic is such a big aspect as a whole and theres so much information. You will never learn it all because no one ever will. The only persona who would of learned it all would be mother earth herself as she should know how everything works. Books. Books are your best friend, theres so many bookshops that stock books now that can help you enhance your learning which is amazing. You should really see my collection of witch books because damn I have a load. overall start off small and document everything you learn because its handy to see how far you have came and also what you have learned in the past. I hope that helps, If you do have any questions ask them bellow in the comments. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Todays question is: How do you avoid stagnation/ spiritual slumps? Now personally I still get theses slumps every now and then when work takes over my life. What I have found that has helped me in the past is working in my book of shadows, or lighting my candles on my altar and sitting in front of it relaxing. Connecting to my sacred space basically. This has worked out easier now that I have moved my altar to my front room because I do feel connected to it more. I also tend to read a lot so if I feel like I am losing connection to my path and faith I will read one of my many witchy books thats in my collection. At the moment I am reading the green witch book thats been in my collection for a while. It does take a little work balancing both your work life and your magic life because some times work takes over and that does drive me bonkers at time. But don't over think it, just relax and think about how you personally can reconnect with it and you should be fine. I hope this post was interesting to you all and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Today's question is: What is most appealing / fulfilling in paganism? I always find that the most fulfilling part of my path is being connected to earth. The energy you feel from just standing outside and connecting with the earth is amazing. I feel connected to something bigger than life itself the energy i feel being on this path is amazing. I believe this has improved my life and has fulfilled a part of me that was lost. Before I found my path I was lost, I was questioning everything and then again when I lost my faith when my mother attacked me. I connected this path to her so once again I was lost dealing with everything that had happen to me and my family. When I reconnected with my path I felt whole. I felt like I belonged to something bigger and I wasn't lost anymore. Thats such a great feeling being connected to something bigger than yourself. I would love to hear what you all think about this question? I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Today's question is: Have you experience spiritual doubt/ hesitation? All the time. I get weeks of feeling disconnected from the world. This can happen a lot over the summer holidays when I am in work at lot. I don't get enough time for myself to spend time with my faith and with nature. This really gets to me when this happens because I feel so lost with out my faith. I don't doubt about my path or what I stand for but I do hesitate about some aspects about my faith. Sometimes I find something I dont agree with but then I just dont do that type of magic in my path. Overall I think everyone gets doubt and hesitation but that doesn't change your mind about your faith. Well I hope so anyway. I will see you all in the next post.

Today's question is: How do you talk to non-pagans about paganism? Well to be honest I talk to them like a normal person haha. I don't see how talking about your faith should be talked differently depending on what faith you follow. I am very passionate about my faith but I would never push it on anyone else. Sometimes I do come across someone that is a little judgemental about my faith so I have to go into more detail about my faith. I understand that some people are close minded and it can be harder to talk to them about my faith which I just leave alone. There are many people in my life that are accepting about my faith and they are the people I speak to about my faith more. I don't really mind people questioning me because I like telling people the truth about my faith but sometimes it gets to me how they attack a peaceful faith. I wonder how you guys talk about your faith to others? Let me know in the comments bellow. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Today's question is: What are your favourite pagan/ spiritual books? Now I have such a big collection of books with this subject matter in mind. I will always say the Lisa chamberlain book series called Wicca is such a good book series at such a great price and is really easy to read for a beginner or even for someone who hasn't got much time to read big books. I have so many herb books that are amazing also. I can't pick just one book because they are all fabulous to read and to have in my collection. I think I will have to do a post about my ever growing book collection just to show you all how many books I do have in my collection. Do you have a favourite book? Let me know in the comments bellow, and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Today's question is: What has been mostly influential on your path? Well this is a hard question to answer as I am still influenced by many different aspects of the magical path. I am still connecting with being a pagan and I do connect with the Celtic path more than others. But I do pick and mix aspects of all paths to help enhance my own path. I don't just follow one path blindly because some aspects don't agree with me or something I agree with. I believe that the biggest aspect that has influenced me this year are the gods and goddesses. I have been doing a lot of research into different deities which has influenced who I would like to work with and who I most likely stay away from. I have also found that I am more of a nature witch now than I was when I started because I am more focused on herbs and their uses now then before. I would of thought that the subscription boxes would of also influenced my learning and the aspects of magic that I worked on because theses are aspects I wouldn't of thought of otherwise. Which is why I always think its such a good idea to get one or two different boxes if you can afford it to see which one connects with you better. I hope I answered this question well haha, I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie x Merry meet everyone,
Today's question is: What does this time of year mean to you? Well this time of year means to me is AHHHHHH! think that explains everything to be honest haha. On a normal note, this time of year is always really busy within work. It means I don't get much time for myself or friends. It means everything but work gets put on a back burner which I hate but can't be helped. It means that the next couple of months I will be drained, and tired and my most loved past times will be put on hold or dotted all over the place. It also means that my blog will hurt slightly. That I have to cut down posts to be able to be still active on here. I also in my free time focus on planning or writing my posts for this blog. I am at the moment planning on doing a couple of posts to cover the busiest times of the next couple of weeks. So they will be written ahead of time so I don't miss the posting day. This will most likely be the time where I have to do this. I hoping that it isn't as busy as I believe its going to be but thats just wishful thinking. Blessed be MissDoomie x |
