I firmly believe to lead a full life one must be spiritually awake and searching - ever working to strengthen the connection between self and the Divine. This section is to serve as my daily journal; not to eleborate on what I do (although at times I may be lead to do so) but just to make sure that I do something - even just one thing - every day to connect with my Divine
July 1
Realized I had been backsliding. I don't want to be a backsliding Witch or Christian. Used my run to open myself to God.
Picked blackberries, was rained on, took that moment in the rain to worship the Creator.
Did a thanksgiving ritual, left blackberries and a zinnia on my altar.
July 2
Cooked blackberries so as not to loose any before making jelly. Chanted over berries as they cooked.
July 3
Cut up squash to freeze; chanted
July 4
Walked protection circle around house. Short meditation with cards. Made blackberry jelly, again using chant.
July 5
Walked protection circle.
July 6
Walked protection circle. Offered a thanksgiving prayer for my anniversary.
July 7
Walked protection circle with more effort put into the words and actions. Made bread and butter pickles, used chant.
July 8
Walked protection circle with feeling. Cleansed my room, cleansed my and hubbys stones. Prayed.
July 9
Protection Circle - prayed so deeply I left my altar in tears
July 10
smudged Hubbys shirt that he was to wear to meeting - pulled a card for him - 9 of Vessels; he shall receive blessings
July 11
church - I believe it was this day that I had a conversation with one of my Sisters about my believes; how I saw things
July 12
came to a recongnization; a peace of sorts with myself
July 13
greeted day, the elements, walked protection circle, 1st game of softball tournament, picked stones carefully
July 14
a grounding and healing bath
July 23
My spiritual revival has worked. In simply logging simple things here, my eyes, heart and soul have opened anew. I have awakened and am refreshed, ready to embrace my craft again. I see things on a daily basis that have always been there but I was missing. This is a wonderful feeling and makes my heart sing and my soul dance for joy. It is so wonderful to feel alive again! Alive and connected to the Great Spirit.
June 3 - 2005
I'm doing it again - backsliding. I will begin again with my journaling. It's been so long since I've added anything to this BOS or even my hand written BOS. I look at this BOS and am saddened by the things I've deleted off it. Not necessairly for that, but more because I miss the coven - which is why I started an on-line BOS in the first place. I am once again a solitary witch - but this time I have witch friends. I will gain my strength though that and through the Creator.

I spent a good deal of time in prayer and meditation yesterday. After which I suddenly had a brainstorm and called my Sister Air. Can I say again how happy that I am that our friendship is once again being rekindled. My brainstorm had to do with the book she is currently writing, I told her my thought and it turns out it was just what she needed. I was glad to be able to help her.
I started this day in prayer as well, along with my Tarot draw as I want to start keeping my on-line journal on that again as well. That lead to a phone call with a friend to arrange my Give-A-Way at her next PowWow. My friend is excited and happy that I'm so blessed to be called to the Jingle Dress.
