Merry meet everyone, So today I am going to be answering 77 questions that many witches have answered in the past. This post may be split into a couple of posts so its not as long as I feel it may be. You may answer these questions yourself and see how much you have learned within your year. 1)Do you use runes as a written language? I personally don't I am slowly getting into runes but I don't think I will be writing them as a language any time soon. I think witches who do this are very clever and most likely have been doing this for many years to understand what they have written. I personally would love to learn more about runes and thats on my list for this year to really get into. 2)Do you feel you have natural gifts, and if so do you think this is what led you to this path? Personally again I was brought up as a pagan so I did choose my path because I was drawn to it more that any other religion or craft but I always felt that I was connected to something bigger. I would say that I am a empath by nature, I always know when closed friends or family are upset and it works really well with my daily job as well. But I didn't realise I had this gift until the last couple of years because a friend of mine told me I was being drained emotionally by people and she explained that it was because I couldn't split my emotions from others and that made my mood swings hard. My partner is a saint for dealing with me haha. 3)What deity do you work with if any and why? I work with mother earth and I know she has many different deity names but I class them all as one. I am very connected with nature and I feel off balance when I am stuck inside for many days. I honour mother earth daily with my daily routine and how I personally live my life. I am just drawn to working with her. I did work with the goddess Isis growing up, I was drawn to her back then but not so much now. I feel like I have grown as a witch and as a person, which is why I connect more with mother earth than anyone else now. 4)Have you always worked with this same deity? No, like I stated before I worked with Isis the egyptian goddess but I always felt that she was more drawn to me than I was to her. I feel a better connection to mother earth than I did with the goddess Isis just because I have matured and Isis the goddess stands for things I don't really connect with anymore. 5)Do you use any personal items in your practice? This is a strange topic to be honest because personal items classes as blood, semen, tears ect and I personally don't or haven't needed to in the past. I have used spit in a witches bottle but apart from that none of those listed above. I always find that blood magic is very powerful and unless you know what you are doing and are 100% focused on that task it can go wrong and I just wont touch that as of yet. Bear in mind I have been a pagan for over 15 years and even then I still wouldn't class myself in that stage to be able to use blood magic. I feel the same with other personal items. Its all down the personal craft and I haven't needed to use them as such. I won't say I will never use them but I can tell you that the craft I do doesn't need them. 6)Do you do past life readings or have ever had one done; who where you or how did you die? I am really interested in doing this but no I haven't done one yet. I would feel like I was born in the Victorian times because I am always drawn to that part of history when I read about bits and bobs from the past. I have this image of me in one of those big frocks that they wore and the corset where I most likely have gotten the fear of being in small spaces because you couldn't breath in those things. I would love to see if any of this is true, so if any of you know anyone thats good at doing past reading send them my way please. 7)What is your favourite magical tool? Now this is hard because I have all the tools but I don't really use them all in the aspect they should be used. I love my tarot cards and I love my pendulums. I would like to say my favourite magical tool is my cauldron because I am always using that either with a candle inside as part of my altar or to mix items inside or burn incense. Candles is another one I love using. I wouldn't call it a magical tool as such but its always a good go to for me. 8) What is a song or type of music that gets you into a witchy moon? Now this is easy, anything played by within temptation brings me into a witchy mood and also when I do blog posts I listen to them because they help me focus. I also love listening to Celtic music, I just type it in on youtube and so much comes up. 9)Where is the most magical place you have ever been? Thats hard because I feel anywhere with nature is magical. I love the pine woods that are near my home because they are beautiful and I can imagine fairies hiding in the trees ect. I have been to many beautiful places that I could so happily settle down and live there. I would say the most magical place for me though is the pine woods because the trees sing to you while you walk through them and the nature that surrounds that area is just so beautiful. 10)What animal is your familiar if you have any? I have a cute tabby cat called harry as my familiar. 11) If you have a familiar, did you choose them or did they choose you? Now this is a hard question because people see familiars in a different way. I personally see them as a animal you connect with on a spirital level, where others see them as spirits you work with. So I will answer it as I see the answer but that may be different to how you see it. I personally believe we found each other. My harry was a feral kitten and my boyfriend's mum rescued him and was looking for a forever home for him and I was just at their house one night and bare in mind that harry wouldn't come out for anyone, came out for me. He sat on my lap and I connected with him in that second. I adopted him and hes now with me with all my magical workings and when I am working on my blog hes actually sat on the window ledge now watching over me. So I personally believe he is my familiar and I will stick to that belief. 12)What in the craft are you best at? (tarot, spells, ritual ect) Thats a hard question to answer because I am well rounded on my talent in each aspect. I believe there are more spells that I wont be at the level to do or even feel I could do them yet, I feel that way with other aspects too. I am really good with tarot card but if I am reading them for myself then I feel like I read into it a bit more than I should. With spell work it depends on the spell that I am doing and same with the ritual work. So honestly I can't really answer this question the way you wish me to. 13) What in the craft would you say you are weaker at? Thats easy runes! I am looking into other aspects of tools ect and runes is one that I really get stuck on. I believe it will take me awhile to get use to working with them and even then I feel if I should work with them I should have some connection to them which at this moment I dont. But then again that could just be me being stubborn. 14)What is your most favourite part of your craft? (spell writing, divination ect) I would love to focus more on spell writing this year. I touched a bit of it last year but this year I want to focus on it a bit more. I love working in my book of shadows because even when I have no energy to do the craft side, I can light a candle and work in my book of shadows for hours on end. Divination is another big aspect of my craft. I love working with my cards and my pendulums but I would honestly say working in my book of shadows is my favourite thing to do. 15) What was the first tool you ever purchased? Oh this is easy a green jade Pendulum and a book of shadows. The first tool I was gifted was when I was 8 years old and my mother gifted me a deck of tarot cards to learn with. That candles where such a big thing for me. I think crystals was another one that I may have started collected when I was young but I can't really remember and I have a load of crystals. 16)What was your first handmade tool for your practice? Oh this is a hard question because I haven't personally made any of my own tools but I have brought handmade items from small shops that create theses beautiful items. I would probably say altar decorations was my first handmade item I had brought. I don't really have any handmade tools as of year that I can think of though. 17) What are your feelings on raising kids in the craft? Personally I would love to raise my children when I have some in the craft but my partner has not got the same faith in fact he has no faith. So I think my children will have the option to choose. They can join in when needed and I would love to celebrate the sabbats with them but until I have my own children I can't answer this honestly. 18)If you were a goddess or god, who would you be? Mother earth. She is such a motherly figure and she cares about everyone no matter how hurt she gets. She has this great power to birth life into the world and shes so graceful in what she does. I would love to say I would be her if I was one. 19)Do you use astrology in your practice? In what ways? I am into astrology and I am learning more each time I go back to it but no I don't use it within my craft yet! My Nan is such a big person on astrology that I normally ask her questions instead of doing the research myself. I need to learn more on this topic because theres so much information to be learned. 20)What if any ways could you practice dark magic and still respect the beliefs of wicca? Now I am not wiccan so I don't really care about the beliefs of wicca but that being said I wouldn't class magic as dark or light. Its all down to intention and what you plan to do with it. I personally would never cause harm on others but how can you say that if you cast a money spell that it wont effect someone else? You need to be mindful but at the same time stay true to yourself. I am going to leave today's post here and I will answer more questions in the next post. I didn't want to over load you with the 77 questions so I am planning on doing at least 20 questions in each post until then end so you don't get overloaded. I hope you enjoyed todays post and I will see you all in the next one. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Comments are closed.
