An Eternal Student

Written by: Idonea

I am a witch. My life began at a midsummer celebration, and I was born at Ostara, the spring equinox, a festival of spring and new life.

From childhood I knew that my life held dimensions beyond the visible world. I sensed many turning points before they came and had prophetic dreams. I recognised good and evil in people and knew their “secrets”. I was thirteen when I realised the cards were telling me things.

I walked a long path before finding myself and acknowledging that I am a witch. I have met few others like me, and usually practise alone. I follow the Old Religion: I believe in life’s beginnings and endings, nature’s cycles and the pull of the Moon, and in humanity as part of nature—stone, tree, wind and water. Something very old and timeless lives inside me, recognising the Moon’s movements, approaching storms and changing seasons, understanding what is to come and remembering what has already been.

I am a solitary witch, living and practising alone. The kitchen is my kingdom, and my guiding thought is to live peacefully alongside others while expressing myself in my own way, independent of them.

I want to be skilled, wise and strong. I know my responsibility and do not harm others. I also know that what I send out will return to me. I am no master, but an eternal student.
