My mom encouraged me as aWiccan. She bought me books like Doreen Valientes ABCs of Witchcraft. She bought me a tarot deck when we were in Mazatlan. Gave me set of Runes at like age 11 or 12, we were still living in Butterfield. I tried to be a Catholic after Nany died, to honor her. It was a nightmare for me. I debated with Fr Steve endlessly about how I saw the world, versus the Patriarchal Christian God. I tried to be a Demonologist like Ed and Loreaine Warren, also people mu mom introduced to me. But I was miserably unhappy. I have had a sliver moon and pentacle tattoed on me since 1991. (Now have to fix that one and repair my rosary ink) I am the best version of myself as Wiccan. Coming out-of-the Broom Closet was best thing I have ever done for myself. Instead of Thou Shalt Nots these are my laws: The Wiccan Rede (Full Version) Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust. Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give. For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out. To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme. Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much. Honor the Old Ones in deed and name, let love and light be our guides again. Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune. Widdershins go when the moon doth wane, and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane. When the Ladys moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two. When the moon rides at Her peak then your hearts desire seek. Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail. When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast. When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth. When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest. Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow. Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows. Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the Gods insight. Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower. Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland. Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye. Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning adds its strength to the bright fire burning. White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility. Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine. Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen. Elder is the Ladys tree burn it not or cursed youll be. Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark. As the old year starts to wane the new begins, its now Samhain. When the time for Imbolc shows watch for flowers through the snows. When the wheel begins to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn. As the wheel turns to Lamas night power is brought to magick rite. Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all. When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log the Horned One rules. In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way. When the Sun has reached its height time for Oak and Holly to fight. Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall. Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed youll be. Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth youll know. When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed. With a fool no season spend or be counted as his friend. Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart. Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow. Be true in love this you must do unless your love is false to you. These Eight words the Rede fulfill: An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will
