INC'd






I dont think a lot of you guys know so I thought I'd take the time to talk about something that almost everyone thinks about at some point in their life. I'm talking of course about tattoos. I personally think they are amazing pieces of art(for the most part). They are a permanent expression of yourself. Shit, I find tattoos on girls a turn on(hint hint ;-) . Even though I think they are really nice and cool, I dont think I could ever bring myself to get one. For some reason the whole permanent thing bugs me. Granted, if I were to get one, it would be thought out and it'd be something I am willing to live with for the rest of my life. It would obviously have great significance to me personally. Oh I forgot the other reason I hesitate to get one, I'm afraid when I get old, the skin is going to get all saggy and the tattoo is gonna look like some weird smear on my body. I kind of thought recently that I could maybe get a Henna or airbrush tattoo. That way its not permanent and it would serve the same purpose. Plus, it would be kind of fun moving it around different places on my body. It's interesting that with all this I actually sat down recently and came up with a few ideas for tattoos I would get. The main one I would get would definitely be a pentagram no questions asked. Then I thought, I dont really want just a plain old pentagram so I came up with one that would be the triple moon symbol and horned god symbol combined with the pentagram in the center(I'll add pictures to the bottom of this point of what I'm talking about.) The other one I would get would be a Phoenix. Now, this one I haven't been able to find one I really like. I mean I have a image in mind, but I've yet to see it.  Other than that, the only other thing I may get is the wiccan symbol for air which is a triangle point upwards with a line across the top portion. Anyways enough of that, I'd love to hear everyone's opinions on the subject or better yet lets see those tattoos!

My Beliefs

Okay so I had done this once before in a video that I posted up on YouTube and I thought I'd take another swing at it and post it up on my blog. Here it goes:
First off let me start off by saying that I am a Wiccan. I follow the Pagan nature based religion called Wicca. Now I'm going to put it all together for everyone so that it is easily understandable. Anyways, in Wicca we believe in a God and Goddess. Now most Wiccans follow a specific pantheon such as Greek, Egyptian, or Celtic. I personally haven't connected with a specific God or Goddess yet so I mainly focus on the Sun and Moon as my God and Goddess. Besides that, I also use the Phoenix and Turtle as sort of personifications for my God and Goddess. To me the Phoenix fits perfectly with the God because of the rebirth aspect. Also ,the Phoenix is both fire and air elementally; both of which I consider masculine energies. Now the turtle I use as my Goddess representation because I see the turtle as the great mother. If you look at the Turtle in nature, when a female lays her eggs, she does so in a place she feels safe in. After she lays the eggs, she heads back into the ocean. When the eggs hatch, they instinctively know to head into the ocean and are able to find their way back to their mother. This almost mirrors the Goddess as in the Charge of the Goddess in which it states that "For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return."  As far as core beliefs, I follow the Wiccan Rede. I also follow logic and science just like any normal educated individual would. I guess another way to put it would be that if I can see it I'll believe it. Reality is perception as a fellow Pagan friend of mine puts it. Now, I think at this time I'm going to stop and direct you all to my YouTube channel under the username Tempestwitch90 . I will be re-posting a video I had done a few months back explaining my beliefs. I want to apologize that this post seemed kind of short and a bit rushed to be honest I'm kinda hungry and I want to grab a bite to eat and have a bit of fun..

Blessed Be~

Update Time!

So its been a while since my last update. Let me tell you, I got a whole mess of things going on.  You can't tell, but I'm actually a bit frustrated at the moment. Why you ask? Because my genius self overcooked my eggs. I'm telling you it can be one of the most disappointing things when you expect your eggs to gush out when you puncture it, but all you get is solid yolk! I'm sure a lot of people have this particular pet peeve and its definitely one of mine. Anyway, as I digest that sad little breakfast egg, I'm enjoying a nice piece of bruschetta  rubbed with some pungent garlic. Okay now I feel a bit better. Strange, I didn't intend on making this post about food, but it seems to have gone that direction. Okay on to something a bit more substantial..(who am I kidding?! The egg is the most substantial thing on this whole post so far! Remember kids, breakfast is the most important meal of the day; even if it is at 1:30 in the afternoon.) So as I mention this for the millionth time, I'm going to discuss the whole Wicca VS Mom situation.
So recently, she's gotten more and more nervous about the whole thing. I mean I try not to bring it up so much but she keeps finding stuff to spark the fire. At the risk of over doing this whole thing, I'll sum it up with: I'm done trying to reveal this whole thing to my family. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and try to be as discreet as possible without being suffocated or held back. I mean, my religion is for me and me only. Its personal and I don't need outside approval or involvement. I dont know if I mentioned this before, but for those of you who don't know, I plan on moving out of my parents house hopefully by twenty-five. That particular decision is not solely based on the whole Wicca situation, but more about lifting the burden of me off my parents shoulders. Granted, I support myself and they don't really pay for anything except rent and utilities, but like I mentioned to my mom, I need to know I can support myself completely on my own. I want to be responsible for a place. I need to know that I can take care of myself before I jump into a relationship and try to support someone else. Okay my sister just woke up and so I need to take care of the "little fatty"
