General Information
Fair day, all.
As the second month of the new year begins, some of us are beginning to recoup from the disasters of last year. But here in the south there are still so many left without homes and jobs, as a result of the hurricanes destructive forces. Your generosity has been exceptional and I hope you will continue to offer your prayers for recovery.
I have had many inquiries as to how Witches who lost their homes, etc. will fare without all of their personal, majical tools. Many had the foresight and the time to 'save' those things most neccessary and precious to them. Others who lost those things, for whatever reason, have moved on and begun the process of fashioning new tools and consecrating them. Sadly, many lost precious items passed down through the ages, family history; ancient tomes and tools, and so on. As with anyone in the path of danger, no' all belongings can be saved. But while one will mourn the losses, Witches look to the future, for life is in the living of each new day.
As the Spring Equinox (Ostara) approaches, many a new tool will be cleansed and dedicated, for Ostara is 'the month of beginnings' or 'month of openings'; an excellent time for renewal. Whether Coven Witch, or Solitary, the Sabbat or 'High Holy Day' will be honored as all ask for hormonious intervention. New history will be written for coming generations to hark back to, and so on.
Many have also inquired why Witches did no' use their 'powers' to turn the storm in a different direction. I spoke to that topic in the past but I will say again: One does no' toy with Mother Nature without expecting major repercussions. To send such destruction upon others for the single-minded purpose of saving one's self and one's possessions earns major problems for the future. 'Tis reason for all things and if one is intelligent, one does no' interfere with what 'twas meant to be.
Several of you have inquired as to how certain of my colleagues are faring; the Warlock Gregory and his family, in particular. All are well and continue working to establish new home sites, even as they give unselfishly of their time to others in need. The Vampyre Garth and Jessica have reconsidered their decision to attempt to repair the centuries old mansion they called home, for, given the damage, the task is far too daunting. They have salvaged what was salvagable and will incorporate that into the new dwelling that will closely resemble the old. While the Vampyre Roman's home was fairly new, it took the most damage of all, and is being bulldozed. Next door, the home of the Warlock Raphael and his wife, Jeree, took very little damage, in comparison to the others' homes, so many of the family members are in residence, there. They are a strong family and all look forward, rather than back. So, as you can see, Witches and Vampyres are no different than Outsiders in their efforts to recoup from disaster.
And now Kaithlin will post answers to some of your e-mail, Dream Teller.
To Quincy in Georgia: Most certainly there exists what is known as the 'Book of Shadows'. For centuries, Majic was passed down through the ages by word of mouth. As much can be lost in that manner, for a variety of reasons, and has been, in earlier times those who could write began committing memory to paper. Majic is such that the older tomes appear as so much jibberish; no logical order. One must take into consideration the author as well as the fact that they are majical notes, if you will, and as those were handed down, each author added (sometimes deleted) information. Today, the new additions to a Witch's Book of Shadows is more uniform, more legible, and therefore, less difficult to understand. In conclusion, I would strongly encourage you to contact the elderly lady who sold you the entire lot, and ask her if she realized the tome was in that box. If she does no' ask for it to be returned then there was true purpose why 'twas given into your keeping. You may wish to attempt to discover if you and she are relatives, or if she knew a relative of yours. But whatever you do, do no' place the book for sell, for could fall into the wrong hands. Blessed May You Be.
To Jeremiah in Delaware: One is never without recourse. The danger lies in the keeping, no' the taking. Return it to where you discovered it; place it in the precise spot at the base of the tree, and cover it as it originally was. 'Tis a 'Charm' you stumbled upon; one of great power. To keep it would be to chance the turning of the power upon yourself; and 'tis something you would no' wish for. Once returned, and left alone, you will have no problem. Heed my advice, and Blessed May You Be.
To Charlotte in New York: Beware of he who seeks the prayer ribbon. To seek in that manner should tell you he is up to no good. If it belonged to him why would he need you to do the task for him? 'Tis a heathen who seeks such for that particular reason, and one you would do well to avoid. Ignore his pretty lies and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to him. His sort will fade into the shadows as he seeks another mark, for he can no' chance calling attention to himself. Blessed May You Be.
