Do you have a name for your path? What is it?
In describing myself, witch, magickal practitioner, occultist, and ascension student.
How long have you been on your path?
On reflection, since I was four years old, pursuing since I was eleven, but realistically, since birth, or before!
My first practice was dreamwork.
Is your path a religion, spirituality, both, neither, something else?
I consider it my path. Any religious structure in practice is my own construct, and some of my beliefs are well-described in other religious writings &/or practised by those of other faiths.
Are you part of a Coven, Grove, or group of some kind?
I am a solitary practitioner by choice, and would not feel comfortable practising with most. I do enjoy discussion groups though, and am in more than one local meetup. I also support pagan events in my city.
Do you have a sacred space inside or outside your house?
I consider all places in our universe sacred, but feel responsible for my home, and my neighbourhood. I enjoy practising in my home, and a few green spots in Ottawa.
What is your favorite part of your path?
Shadow work & Ascension. Searching for a means of facing myself, expanding on my knowledge & practice, bettering myself & thereby my role in the Divine community we are...
Do you cast spells?
Yes.
Have you ever drawn down the moon?
Yes, and have a very Lunar-centric path.
Are you empathic, clairvoyant, clairaudiant, precog. dreamer, intuitive/prophetic, something else?
Yes, and I believe that we can all work with these skills, but some are simply innately talented. Think on any endeavour.
What's your favorite holiday?
Samhain, as it brings out the community, and am fond of Autumn. Flora's gifts of the Vernal Equinox, and the familial nature of Yule would be tied for second.
What's your favorite season?
Autumn.
What's your favorite moon phase?
New. Has grown into a time of reflection & new beginnings, instead of using energy for action on Full Moons, am 'maturing' into the consideration phase of life, and gauging my contributions. Who knows what the future holds in my Lunar practices.
What's your favorite element?
Water, and it's saved my life.
What kind/s of magick do you do (ie candle, divination, knot, ceremonial, etc.?)
Ceremonial (solar & lunar, ascension), and divination & scrying always. Each practice of mine is by definition geomagickal, as I use the vortices of an urban setting. Spellwork as needed, with strong folk elements & use of: sigils, candles, mojos, knotwork, philtres, and sex. Note that mojos have herbs, crystals, runes, paper, etc. in them!
What kind/s of magic do you excel at (ie healing, love, prosperity, etc.?)
Psychic defense & healing, ascension, and bindings. Sounds contrary, huh?
How far out of the broom closet are you?
Was naive about the closets out there, and it makes me sad that anyone feels that they must be in theirs.
What five words best say who you really are?
confident, giving/nuturing, organized/detail-oriented, impatient, reliable
(I feel that I've mastered a way of combining these attributes for the betterment not detriment of myself & others, where they used to be hindrances or even harmful at times.)
Seventeen questions, huh? An interesting prime number...
