my youngest is fascinated by tornados...as i am..he is always looking for funnels in stormy weather and for rotating clouds...i would like to see one, but from a distance..
Native Americans look at rain as cleansing the spirit, ie it washes away your troubles..lol..
But yes it is theraputic.. |

rainwater in a low air pollution area, caught in a jar then placed in the light of a full moon is good for cleansing/purifying spellwork and herbal teas :)
sorry..... :D |

| Saw a beautiful storm from our 10th floor balcony in Key Largo, could see a whole sky over the sea and saw lightning forks and everything. Looked like an oil painting, lit up the whole sky. |

do you do white witch stuff to..lol...
Cat it does not bother me, i find all these things fascinating..
it was all the stuff you sent me yesterday, made me realise that you might be doing one or the other..lol..
it is good to pull rescources and learn...most of the stuff and healing i know is from the NA stuff i learned, but i also know a lot about natural healing using real foods and herbs/flowers as well.. |

lol well in answer to your question yes i am a practising solitary wiccan, best way to put it is under the term "hedge witch", in that i deal mostly with plants, herbs, oils etc. The spellwork i do is always nature based and as such is as chaotic as nature itself, meaning that i dont hold too stiffly with rituals, incantations etc but stick to the basics, keep it simple, use what i have to hand and do what feels right :D
that's all i will put, not because i take offense at being asked about it, but because 1) i find it a very personal thing and 2) i hate feeling like i am trying to "educate" or ram it down people's throats, reminds me of the jehovas witnesses who keep trying to convert me lol. (at first there was only one at my door, once a month, but once hey found out what my belief system is i get them knocking in groups of 4, once a week! LOL. i am still waiting for one to say "suffer thee not a witch to live" rofl)
i hope this doesnt put anyone off me now LOL :) |

I think it's very interesting. I know people with allllll sorts of beliefs. Got people into magick etc etc, doesnt change the person I know/like. As long as you're not sacrificing/harming humans or animals its entirely up to you and whatever makes you happy imo. |

Not put off at all, as i said i find it fascinating, and yes i understand it being personal to you...i just had a gut feeling after your knowledge of stuff i knew and did not know..
I hope i did not embarrass you by asking, i did not intend to..
Maybe through email i might learn some more in the way of herbal treatments from you..it is always good to know these things, i hate the meds that are prescribed via doctors and will always go the natural route if i have the knowledge
do you know of a treatment for old cats with thyroid problems?
i did think of nettle or dandelion, but would be hard, i have heard that seaweed is good for thyroid to..
as for Jehovahs, i just answer the door with my GSD now and they normally go away...
i did once tell them that i followed the Native American way of living, but they looked at me like i had come from another planet.lol... did not have a clue what i was talking about.
Chloe normally does the trick, her bark is worse than her bite and it works...

i feel like that to, but still in this day and age people are set in there ways, though there is less of a stigma now days, i think because maybe people realise that it is not crap and a lot are looking for answers as to why this planet is in such a mess from the environment to the people that inhabit it... |

LOL i am always having to explain that no, i dont participate in orgies in the woods on a full moon, no i dont sacrifice people/babies/animals etc, infact the only things ever sacrificed are plants and even that is ofset by harvesting them the right way, saying a quick thanks to whichever deity neccesary and planting some more at the next oportunity ^_^
you didn't embarress me at all, i am just used to negative reactions, even my OH doesnt react too well to it LOL
as for the thyroid probs in elderly cats, i'll have to have a read up on that in the morning, as some treatments for hoomans are not suitable for certain animals, that and i haven't had cause to learn about that so far :D so i will have a mooch around my books lol :D
oh but the sea kelp called Bladderwrack is supposed to be good i remember that one :p
off to bed now, night night :D x |

I agree.  A lot can be said for open mindedness, but I suppose you're right in people being set in their ways and we gotta be open minded and sensitive to them also.
EDIT: For Cat's post. I can sorta empathise you in the way that people dont always react in a way you'd feel more comfortable. I'm pretty heavily into body modification which may also be seen like a sort of 'taboo' (Not my opinion at ALL that anything spiritual is weird OR taboo, and I'm not stupid enough to think that anything to do with white magic and the like would ever signify sacrificing.. although the naked dancing in the wood sounds fun  ) As an example I have stretched earlobes that at one point were 35mm. I pretty much constantly had people asking me why I did it, and looked at me like I had inflicted some sort of grotesque disfigurment on myself and belonged in a circus. God forbid I tell them a vast majority of my friends had done suspension where by trying to enter a state of out of body experience by being hung from meathooks through their flesh!!!!
Not a religious/spiritual sort of sense, but I know how it feels to not be able to be entirely open about your way of life/beliefs, with fear of being personally attacked or frowned upon for what you deem right for you. |

| I saw the most amazing lightening storm once just off a Greek island, sat on the beech one night and watched it for ages. Like a free fireworks display. |

I have found an alternative treatment called Thyro Pet which i will order and see how he goes..
As for how people react, my ex was the same, he does not believe in spirits and stuff...which is fine it is his choice, but the old gut feeling was it was because he was scared of admitting that it could be true..
Have you ever had an indepth look at Traditional Native American ways?
Or any indigenous peoples?
