SELF-DISCOVERY

We all have a story, and mine, like many of yours, is a tapestry woven with both joy and sorrow. My early years were marked by hardship, beginning with the tragic loss of my mother when I was still a child. At the tender age of four, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Even then, I remember the grueling chemotherapy and radiation treatments, a stark contrast to the more spa-like procedures available today. These experiences, I believe, opened my mind to the unseen world.

Due to the harsh cancer treatments, I wasn't allowed to spend much time out in the sun. I spent countless evenings under the watchful eye of the moon, listening to the symphony of nature and chasing the ethereal glow of fireflies. It was during these quiet moments that I began to experience spectral visits from my grandmother. I also had vivid lucid dreams and astral projections, soaring above my neighborhood and playground, experiencing a freedom I was denied in my waking life.

The treatments took a toll on my body, leaving me with little energy for physical activities and isolating me from other children. Yet, these “astral” experiences ignited a deep curiosity about the world beyond the tangible. I've always had precognitive dreams, which I once referred to as "déjà vu dreams" due to my lack of understanding. These dreams have often warned me of potential dangers. I've always been highly attuned to the energies of the earth and others. Simply placing my hand on a doorknob allows me to immediately sense the energy of the room beyond.

My childhood experiences fueled my desire for knowledge and understanding. I pursued degrees in sociology, psychology, and religion, culminating in a transformative journey to Thailand. Spending time in the temples, I felt a profound connection to the ancient practices and beliefs of true earth magic. My exploration of Buddhism has brought me full circle, returning to the roots of my pagan and earth-based beliefs.

As I transitioned from childhood into adulthood, life continued to unfold with its share of twists and turns. Over the past few years, I've faced a series of challenges that have tested my resilience. A car accident left me with lingering injuries and emotional scars, including PTSD. Shortly after, a workplace accident resulted in a severe shoulder injury. Upon returning to work, I was subjected to a barrage of bullying that was ignored by management, a deeply traumatic experience for someone who has always stood up for herself. Despite winning a settlement, my emotional wounds had already been inflicted, compounding the PTSD I was experiencing. And just this past year, I was diagnosed with a fast-growing breast cancer, leading to a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery.

These experiences, though painful, have prompted me to reconnect with the roots of my witchy earth-based beliefs. I've found solace and healing in the ancient practices that have always been a part of me. While the journey has been arduous, I'm grateful to say that I'm on the mend. I'm rebuilding my daily practice, shedding the experiences that no longer serve my greater purpose.

As I look ahead, I'm filled with a renewed sense of determination and hope. The challenges I've faced have strengthened my spirit and deepened my connection to the natural world. I'm excited to continue exploring the mysteries of the otherworld and sharing my journey with others.

THE HERE AND NOW

Fast forward to the present day, five years have passed since the car accident that inadvertently set me on this path back to my true beliefs. Less than a year has elapsed since I completed my breast cancer treatments, and I'm finally making strides toward regaining my health and life.

The past few years have ignited a passion within me to achieve the life I've always envisioned. Life is too short to settle for anything less. While I still have challenges to overcome and goals to reach, I'm determined to make progress, one day at a time.

One of my goals for 2024 is to devote more time to my blog. I started it in 2023, but it hasn't quite evolved into what I initially imagined. It's time to change that!

I'm incredibly grateful for your presence here. I'm thrilled to share my journey with you, exploring topics like self-empowerment, wellness, and seasonal living with a focus on mindful living. We all possess the power within us to create a balanced, beautiful, and magical life. By connecting with nature, embracing the seasons, and nurturing our whole selves (body, mind, and spirit), we can become the best witches and humans we can be. I hope to make your journey a little easier, more practical, and a lot more fun!
