Faralos:
If you're asking me as to whether or not I am a Wiccan, the answer is no, I am not. Wicca as a religion, or even as a path in life, is fine and dandy, but not for me. I don't like the idea of having to have to celebrate something at a specific day or time, especially when my moods have been so wishy washy lately. For example, usually I change the wreath decoration on my front door every month, but once in awhile I could care less. The wreath for Easter come down slightly before summer this year. Must be the menopause.
As for Pagan/Wiccan practices, I do subscribe to some practices, such as:
1. Candle Magic for what I call Ritual Healing. (This is a practice where I will use scribed and anointed candles for a specific person while sending them Absentee Reiki {known as distance healing} and prayer.)
2. I do make my own anointing and healing oils, which requires a ritual purification of all tools and ingredients.
3. I do have two permanent altars. One is to Quan Yin the Goddess of Mercy & Compassion, because of a personal experience that I had with her in a meditation. And the second one is for my connection to Egypt. I have several connections (healing and magical) that have been constant throughout the last several years. I have also had at least one past-life there in Egypt.
4. I also practice a few Divinational arts such as: Tarot and Oracle card reading, Pendulum Dowsing, Divination with Crystals, Runes, I Ching, & Numerology. I do not practice Scrying, (peering into crystal balls or scrying mirrors) simply because I cannot hold a gaze for a long period of time without getting a headache.
5. The practice of meditation.
Any type of Magical practices that I subscribe to, always...always comes from a place of love and light. I do not worship the devil & I do not practice the black arts. I strongly believe in Karma and how that stuff can come back to you.
Great questions! Thanks!

Hey Shooby Do!
I am doing readings again this year if you are interested. The offer is on Itchy's timpinball site, under the Free tarot card readings with Rukia. You'd have to sign up to become a member of the site (which will eventually close due to the opening of the Rogue Pinball Site, but it will be available through [at least] the month of november), and then follow the instructions in the thread for the reading.
The link to that site is:

See ya on the boards!
