2007...gotta raise a little Hell to get to Heaven!

About Me

Freestyle Spiritualist, Love Child, Voodoo Queen, Alchemist, Hopeless Romantic, Loving MaMa, Day Dream Believer, Intuitive Artist, Brujita, Utopian Idealist, Modern Bohemian, Urban Gypsy and Natural Mystic...Libra Sun, Virgo Moon, Sagittarius Rising
I walk the Path of Love, even when it leads me to dark places. I am a Healer, I use Divination as a method to align People with their Destiny. I make Altar Fetishes, Spirit Dolls, Herbal Soap, SoyWax Candles, Potions. I teach classes in Green Magick (Herbalism) and Hoodoo Mysteries, Rootwork, Modern Witchcraft and Gypsy Folk Magick. I will be "Crowned" a High Priestess of Yemaya this year in the Yoruban Religion of IFA. IFA, the foundation of all Religion, Africa the Cradle of Civilization... These Earth Philosophies are from a time when Humanity still danced to the sound of the Cosmic Drum...and were in Harmony with Nature.
I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore, and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the mother and the daughter...I am she whose wedding is great, and I have not taken a husband
I am knowledge, and ignorance...
Thunder, Perfect Mind, Gnostic Poem, 100 A.D.

Guilty Pleasures...

"When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: . . . then you will enter [the Kingdom]." Jesus

I'd like to meet:

People in a variety of colorful manifestations...
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”~Jack Kerouac

"Conquering an addiction is not easy. An addiction, by definition, is an uncontrollable compulsion to repeat a behavior regardless of its harmful consequences. Many types of addiction have been described including alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gambling, food, sex, pornography, computers and work. Adding television to that list should not be a stretch considering the ubiquitous presence of TV screens throughout our world. Additionally, the classic vacant stare of the TV watcher should also count as prima facie evidence of the medium's power."
