I've found a new title for myself, outside of 'witch,' 'pagan,' and 'eclectic,' that is.
The What Works Witch.
That sums it up quite nicely, don't you agree? It very much describes my practise, when you think about it. I favour variety, in everything from ritual to candle size. If it works, I use it. Things like mirrors? Yeah . . . they don't work. I avoid them. More on that (much) later, though. But what about symbols? I love them. Very, very easy things to use, able to be made anywhere, with anything. Protection? Draw a shield on your wrist. A little 'oomph' in that spell you're casting? Draw a pentagram. Ooh, hey, you could really use some help calling on the god and goddess(and remembering which side of you each one is on). Draw the symbol for the god, )O on one wrist, and the triple moon symbol for the goddess, )O( on the other. For balance, the hieroglyphs for life - an ankh - and death - the duat - on the back of each hand or on each shoulder. My suggestion for that one is using it at either Mabon or Samhain.
Oops, that was a tangent, wasn't it? My bad! Still, though . . . if it works, I use it. So WWW I am.
. . . No, I'm not Fred OR George. Weasley's Wizrd Wheezes indeed. Tin I am, but I am a girl. *Studiously ignoring the red hair and tendency to joke around, and completely shutting out the twin and magic parts of things*
