10 Questions and Answers for #Witches #Pagans #Wiccans

#Review of Don't You Trust Me? by Patrice Kindl

 
 
A teenage girl switches identities with a stranger and pulls off a long-term scam in this smart, sarcastic thriller perfect for fans of Ally Carter.

Don’t you trust me? I mean, look at me. Blond, blue-eyed, the very image of innocence. Pretty enough, if you care about that kind of thing. I don’t.

But would a normal person switch identities with some wet mess of a girl at the airport, just to get her to stop bawling about being separated from her loser boyfriend and sent to live with some distant relatives? Nope, she wouldn’t. Yet I did. I’m not as normal as you think. And you’ll just have to trust me on that.

#Review of The Raven Faerie Store

Hello this post is going to be all about the store located here in Lakeland, FL.  I love doing reviews. If you love to read (normal not just pagan) books then you should check out my other site Http://www.CrossroadReviews.com I am trying to keep them separate just for the fact that well this is faith and that isn't. 



The Raven Faerie


Ok so today I went over to this store and started looking around. They have a pretty good range of crystals to choose from. They have some books and tarot cards as well.  The set up is pretty nice. However I think they need more items in the back room that branches off.  It seems a little empty in the one section.  But all in all it is a beautiful store.  I really loved the sitting area as well as the tarot table. It was not completely secluded but had a really nice feel to it. The throne that sits in the store is also wonderfully magickal. 

They have some one of a kind items that I have never seen before from wood men statues to some really neat copper balls.  They have a small selection of jewelry and some really cute coffee mugs from around $3.00 and up.  

The only thing I didn't like about the store was that a lot of the crystals were very high priced.  They also had some leather bag that were around $30+ and I thought from my experience it was a little high.  

So this store gets 



#Review of Isle of Night (The Watchers #1) by Veronica Wolff

 
 
Is life offering fewer and fewer options? Then join the dead. When Annelise meets dark and seductive Ronan, he promises her a new life-if she has the courage to chance the unknown. Now, she's whisked away to a mysterious island and pitted against other female recruits to become a Watcher-girls who are partnered with vampires and assist them in their missions. To survive and become a Watcher, Annelise has to beat out every other girl, but she's determined to do so, because to fail doesn't mean dishonor-it means death.

#Review #Giveaway of Below: Broken Sky (Broken Sky Chronicles #1) by @JChabotAuthor @TurnerPub

 
 
No one but the dead dare venture Below . . .

The first volume in this thrilling trilogy opens on the barren plains of Below, where Hokk and his fox sidekick, Nym, live in exile amid the remnants of our modern age.

Overhead, on the floating islands of Above, Elia is trapped in a life of endless toil and drudgery as a laundress for the Mirrored Palace. To Elia, the islands edges are borders that no one dares cross until the ancient ritual that delivers the dead to Below. But a series of natural disasters rumbling through Above sends Elia s world crashing into Hokk s and she falls Below.

Their journey together will propel them across endless plains and through shattered cities in a centuries-old battle for the very earth and sky around them . . ."
 

Coincidences are the Art of Magick

Merry Meet!

As you may know I am just now getting back in touch with my path.  I took a few years off to deal with other things.  And at the time I really didn't have a healthy connection with the deities. My path was turing out to be more of what I wanted vs. celebrating what the god and goddess gave me.  So now 4-5 long years later.  The path has found me again.  And I am more ready than ever to start over.

Just so you know these posts have been posted before on my other site.  Im just reposting them here. 

#MerryMeet



It has been around 5 years since I have done anything with my religion. And I have a hole in my spirit because of it.  This year has been one of the worst that we've had.  

This year I tried to rekindle my love of my religion and the deities and it just didn't work out.  Trying to run multi sites has been a real mess.  So after much thought I decided to just integrate it all into this site.  So I hope that this doesnt turn you away from my site.

Ive been pagan for over 20 years and I hope to share with you some of the things that I've learned in that time.  From crystals to herbs and more.  I also hope to start teaching classes and doing readings again.  So if that is something you would be interested in please let me know in the comments.
