Boo

When witches go riding,

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

‘tis near Halloween.

Where's your mustache? ( Mustache Art)

Magical Colors

Weavers, weaving at fall of night,

Why do you weave a garment so bright? . . .

Like the plumes of a peacock, purple and green,

We weave the marriage-veils of a queen

The Kitchen Witch's Creed

In this pot, I stir to the sun

an' follow the rule of harming none.

Banishment of bane when goin' widdershins;

an' with water and salt negativity is cleansed.

Household duties are more than chores.

Magick abounds when mopping floors.

With this broom, I do sweep

to clean my house and safely keep.

Marigold, Basil, Thyme, and Yarrow

my spell is cast for a better tomorrow.

Lemons for joy and apples for health

the pow'r within brings great wealth.

And, in this kitchen I do pray

To truly walk the Witches' Way

Wanna a bite?

Queen: And because you've been so good to poor old Granny, I'll share a secret with you. This is no ordinary apple, it's a magic *wishing* apple.

Snow White: A wishing apple?

Queen: Yes! One bite, and all your dreams will come true.

Snow White: Really?

Queen: Yes, girlie. Now, make a wish, and take a bite.

"Witch" is just a religion, okay?

“Witch' is just a religion, okay? No baby-sacrificing, no Black Masses, no sending imps out to scare the dog-snot out of kids, trying to make them think they're crazy. We don't do things like that. Our number-one law is 'Have fun in this lifetime, but don't hurt anybody.'
Nice little paraphrase of "An it harm none, do as ye will" if I do say so myself.”

Faith, Hope, Love

Song of The Flower

I am a kind word uttered and repeated

By the voice of Nature;

I am a star fallen from the

Blue tent upon the green carpet.

I am the daughter of the elements

With whom Winter conceived;

To whom Spring gave birth; I was

Reared in the lap of Summer and I

Slept in the bed of Autumn.

At dawn I unite with the breeze

To announce the coming of light;

At eventide I join the birds

In bidding the light farewell.

The plains are decorated with

My beautiful colors, and the air

Is scented with my fragrance.

As I embrace Slumber the eyes of

Night watch over me, and as I

Awaken I stare at the sun, which is

The only eye of the day.

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to

The voices of the birds, and dance

To the rhythmic swaying of the grass.

I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath;

I am the memory of a moment of happiness;

I am the last gift of the living to the dead;

I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.

But I look up high to see only the light,

And never look down to see my shadow.

This is wisdom which man must learn.

- Khalil Gibran

Halloween, Christmas and what else?

Witch, Witch

Witch witch, where do you fly?

Under the clouds and over the sky.

Witch, witch, what do you eat?

Little black apples from Hurricane Street.

Witch, witch, what do you drink?

Vinegar and good red ink.

Witch, witch, where do you sleep?

Up in the clouds where the pillows are cheap.

Connecting

I learnt how to play the Tarot Cards with my grandma a long time ago and it has been part of my life since then. There is a beauty in the cards which I can't find anywhere. The symbols, the colors,

the characters: all of them together tell a story and what we have to do is to pay attention to

what they want to tell us. Tarot Cards are used for meditation, contemplation, fortune telling and above all, to help us to connect with our inner selves and listen to our intuition.

Here is a simple chart for those who are interested in Tarot Cards

Painting the universe and Nuit

“We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.” 
Ray Bradbury 

Goddess Nuit/Nut

O my Goddess Nuit of Immortal Beauty and Love! I stretch forth my arms to embrace Thy omnipresent Body of the stars! I kiss Thy Divine Lips that utter wisdom beyond any words! I stretch out my tongue to lick Thy lovely Vulva that givest birth to the Sun! I caress Thy Body arched for Love! I call forth upon Thy name O Nuit! And Thou smilest in return! Thy deep blue shining eyes will melt any rock, the sound of Thy soft Voice calling the Gods to Love is like the music of a magick harp! My whole body is wet in sweat smelling sweat! I Love Thee! I Love Thee! Through the ages and centuries and aeons and times our everlasting Love will never die! I raise my voice and this I cry as I kiss Thy Breasts and Thighs! I fall and loose myself in the bottomless abyss of Love Unto Thee my Goddess of the night stars!

I am Unto Thee, I am always Unto Thee O my Beloved Nuit, Goddess of Night!

Lady in red

The Lady In Red

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight

I've never seen you shine so bright

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance

They're looking for a little romance

Given half a chance

I've never seen that dress you're wearing

Or that highlights in your hair

That catch your eyes

I have been blind

Chorus:

Lady in red is dancing with me

Cheek to cheek

There's nobody here

It's just you and me

It's where I wanna be

But I hardly know this beauty by my side

I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight

I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing

I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side

And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away

I have never had such a feeling such a feeling

Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

Chorus

I never will forget the way you look tonight

The lady in red

My lady in red

I Love You

She is the beauty of the moon

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Eye of new, and toe of frog,

Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Krishna and Radha

Love-Famine

Look at his eyes O Radha,

Love-famine rages in them.

He hankers to see you

And beholds your mirages

And runs towards them.

Krishna can live without water

And even without air.

But without you, Radha,

Every minute he dies

A hundred million deaths.
