I am a priestess, a teacher, a stargazer, a healer, a lover of caves and forests, waters, stones, herbs, and flowers. I am sister to all animals but have an affinity with serpents, deer, cats, owls, and ravens. I am not separate from others, be they human, animal, vegetable, mineral, or ethereal, rather I acknowledge the life force, the Divine, that connects us all. I am a worker of magic, a singer of incantations, a prophetess of signs and omens, of augurs and portents. I am a layer of tricks and caster of spells. I am a weaver of energy and the elements, a daughter of the infinite and Walker Between the Worlds. I am a rootworker and cunningwoman. I craft charms and enchantments. I know how to curse as well as cure. I walk in balance between light and darkness, knowing that both are necessary and knowing that to forsake either one entirely for the other leads to blindness and incapacitation. I descend into mystery and arise with new thought and knowledge for myself and others. I am passionate, charismatic, intelligent, creative, poetic, strong, flawed, insightful, communicative, confident, loving, and deeply spiritual. I love life and respect death because I am conscious of the cycles of all things. I dance the Spiral Dance. I am a Witch.
