Tonight has been realtiviely quiet and I have been catching up on my friends online. With my website, my new magazine I am putting together along with everyday life, it's sometimes hard to sit down and write, even if it's just a quick "hello" or picture comment. I'm online often on and off but I am busy and so I feel a little guilty. Feels good to catch up.
Getting the house ready for Ostara. my first Sabbat I can actively participate after years of not being able to be truly open. Planted an Indoor Herb Garden, bought a new plant and also bought some silk flowers to bring some much needed color in the house. Also changed my kitchen a little to reflect the Italian in me. Beautiful colors have truly made a difference.
Tonight was very blustery and rainy. I was standing by my kitchen window and could hear the song of the wind, the rain hitting against my window and I felt close to the Goddess, so I lit a candle by the window and said a small prayer of graitude and love. The reflection of the candle through the window was magickal and before I knew it I made a mini altar that I am going to keep there.
Being able to fully engage in my Spirituality is amazing. I almost feel like this is all new to me. In a way it is. Although I have read and studied Wicca since age 13, I am now actually traveling the path..Walking the walk and tonight I felt very connected.
Looking into taking an Herbology class, I came across the Wise Women Center, I believe is the name and it is located in Woodstock, NY, only about an hour away but they also have an online course called the ABC's Herbalism and I am signing up for it. I'm very excited. I have always wanted to take an Herbology course and now I am and I couldn't be happier.
Well, it's getting late so I will go for now. Brightest Blessings...
Well, the road continues and I am still working on the magazine but it is coming together quite well.
I will be getting ready to put together the interview with the ladies who put together The Crafting Witches" on myspace...Their Little Cottage of Crafter's to help promote those who handmake all their wares and advertise, share ideas, thoughts and everyday life. Plus, I am also getting ready to put together 2 Crafter Stories which will be something that is featured in every issue. It is to further help those who have their own small craft/handmade business to get further exposure.
I am still looking for anyone who is interested in placing ads, waiting on those who said they are placing ads as well as anyone interested in submitting short stories.
Hope everyone has a beautiful, and bright Wednesday!!
After much research and continuing efforts on finding the best avenue to take this magazine I have decided that the best possible option for right now is that the magazine is going to be an online magazine.
Right now, it is going to be offered for free but will have it's own website and domain that I will be setting up prior to Issue Date of June 1st.
If I find that that the response is well received then I will take futher measures to obtain a Subscribers list, along with Subscription prices, and Printing it in hard copy for buyers. I think that is the best way for Shop Owners who might want to check us out before purchasing and it gives everyone a feel for Ye Olde Witches Brew and if it is received well then I can proceed with Advertising Prices and Compensation for the Writers.
So, bear with me, please be patient as this journey through publishing this magazine takes form and we grow together.
Any questions, feedback or suggestions please feel free to message me.
