The Witch's Desk ~ Interview: Sex & Witchcraft

New post @ my Other Blog:

From The Witch's Desk: An Interview ~ Sex & Witchcraft

No, this will not be a running theme on my blog, it’s purely coincidental that my last blog post also dealt with this topic (but on a different level).  The following questions were put to me by a journalist for a magazine interview.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get these questions filled out in time to meet the magazine’s deadline. (My bad, I’m usually very prompt with such things).  However, between adjusting to a full-time “real” job outside the home, and the fact that at my age I had to get myself all revved up and in the mood to answer questions on this topic, it took me a few days to embrace the subject.

Anyway, I’ve decided that these questions and this interview, were just too good to waste, so I’m posting it here on Editorial Wednesday morning from The Witch’s Desk. 

Find out how I answered these questions:

 1. When did you start practicing witchcraft? What drew you to it?
 2. Does your witchcraft and practice factor into your sex life? If so, how? Has it changed or influenced your ideas about sex?
 3. Has your witchcraft taught you anything about sex, or your personal sexuality?
 4. Have you ever cast a sex spell or created a love potion? If so, can you explain a little about the process?
 5. Is there anything related to your practice that a non-practitioner may be able to incorporate into their sex life? What lessons can they learn from witchcraft about sex and sexuality?

Free Tarot Reading ~ Pick-a-Card

Here we go again, off on another jaunt down the new-age, mystical, magickal path.  If  you've never received a tarot reading, give it a try.  These are three random cards that I interpreted using the intuitive method of tarot reading.  If you don't take this kind of thing seriously (though I do, I've seen how it works, and I've felt the energy and connection with the cards); you can view this as pure entertainment, something fun and different, which is how most of us readers have to promote our readings legally.  Someday the art of psychic readings, and especially the tarot, will be viewed in a more spiritual light, or at least accepted and respected as part of some peoples' spiritual path.

These cards, though interpreted individually, with the idea that most people are going to choose just one card, unexpectedly came together for a very cryptic and connected Three Card Spread.


Today’s deck:  The Rider/Waite Deck
Here’s your choices for today’s cards, posted on 10-21-2015
Use the Time Stamps to go directly to the card of your choice:

Card #1:  00.18 ~ Card #2:  03.25 ~ Card #3:  08.00

Mothers-in-Law ~ What I've Learned from Mine #2

MIL#2...The first impression I had of this woman was a surprised and delighted, "She doesn't hate me!", which had been my previous experience.  It was the early 1980s, and I was in my early 20s.

MIL #2 was a tiny woman, bird-like in her build and movement, which was surprising when faced with the knowledge that she was the biological mother of ten children.  Her life was consumed with babies and child-rearing, filled with the existence of the stereotypical Farm Wife of another generation, at it's most basic, day-to-day hard work and unending responsibility.  Her husband was 20-some years older than her, a strict disciplinarian, a typical steely mid-west farmer with extraordinarily conservative and outdated views about women, including the very Christian mindset of "obedience" and "submission".

It wasn't until I had known this woman for sometime that I realized her gentle voice and smiling demeanor cloaked strong opinions, true feelings, and sometimes harsh criticisms, all of which were rarely revealed.

What did I learn from this woman?

I learned a lot.  

  • I saw for the first time what the intrinsic link and connections can be like in a large family.  
  • I learned the ethics of hard work, the idea of sticking together as a group-- loyalty, and the idea of sacrificing to help out and support family members (especially in time of need).  
  • I learned that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar; and that sometimes it works to everyone's advantage to keep negative thoughts to yourself and work around them.  
  • I learned that it's okay to accept your lot in life, even if it's not ideal, and to run with it, to grow from it at the same time you're moving away from it.  
  • I learned the importance of a true and deep connection with Spirituality and how it can shape your life and your relationships.

How do you know you're where you're suppose to be?


1)  It feels right.  There's no second guessing here.  It feels so right that the possibility of any other scenario doesn't even enter your mind.

2)  You're not missing bigger better more lucrative or beneficial opportunities by being where you're at.  The universe is smiling on you, and the blessings you're receiving are three-fold.

3)  Other areas of your life will also be positively affected on a variety of levels.  This may either come as a pleasant surprise, or a given.

4)  There are positive affirmations coming in every day through people, occurrences, or other synchronistic events validating this fact.

5)  You don't keep wishing you were somewhere else doing something else.  You will experience the rewarding sensation of contentment.

Zodiac Tarot Readings ~ October 2015

I know, here I go again, verooming away from Mundane Topics, but I can't help it. :)  (I'm working on the next mother-in-law, promise.)

My series of astrological tarot readings continues with October and October’s energy for the twelve Sun Signs of the Zodiac.  Also, if you know your Moon Sign, or your Rising Sign, there may be more than one of these videos that will resonate with you, and sometimes this connection is actually just as, if not more, intense and accurate.  At Youtube, in the description box below each video, you’ll find links to FREE and easy calculators that will help you find your Moon and Rising signs.

As some of you know, I’m now a member of the mundane work force with a “real” job (insert smiley face here), which leaves me less time for writing, blogging, and vlogging (insert sad face here), but I’m going to do the best I can to keep up with everything.  If you notice on some of the videos in this series, they were filmed at night (the window behind me is pitch black).  They were actually filmed between 4am-8am, before I left the house to go to work!  See, I’m squeezing things in wherever I can to keep the magick alive! Though I’m not sure I’m going to continue with middle-of-the-night readings :)

Anyway, enjoy the videos, and as always, if you want a personal reading with me go to my Tarot Website.

Blessings,
Amythyst
