World problems seem to be on everyone's mind these days, and it's only natural the way things are, but shouldn't we start a little bit closer to home? Why waste energy worrying about what happen at the other sida of the planet when we can't "fix" the problems in our own backyard? No matter where we live on this planet, we've closed our eyes to what happens to our own people, our closest neighbours, famlies, for too long and we need to wake up and start asking: What can I do to help someone here?

I can understand the fear of "getting involved". I've been there too, hesitatiing, wondering, how will this effect me and my life? But somehow I've always ended up wondering: How will I feel if I don't do anything, if I don't reach out? And the answer is almost always, like a real creep.What hurt me is that the favor is hardly ever returned. Is that how we want to be, really? Just asking, demanding, but never reach out and help someone else get back up when they stumble...?

Prepare for the Changes to come

More and more people post, on Facebook and other social networks, about the changes that are to come. I am one of those who sense the changes in the wind and see the signs. Changes WILL be brough upon us, so we better get prepared.

There is a time for prayers and love and light, but to secure the health of our planet and a future for the next generation, we must be prepared to fight those who are more concerned about money than the survival of the human race. One of the other things we need to do, as several others have pointed out too, is to secure a sustainable living that will not further exploite and damage Mother Earth. If our governments don't listen and start making changes, we need to build small communities beside others, outside the system. The changes will not stop and wait for people to wake up, they will come whether we are ready or not. It is the people who refuse to wake up and prepare that will suffer the most.

I have been sensing change in the air for quite some time now, strong winds that blow over Mother Earth and bring strange new energy with them. This change is one that must come, one that is needed, but it will not be easy for everyone to accept. Especially those who feel they will lose their status, their power, their superiority, will suffer. But this
change is truly good, in the end it will lead to something better for all living things on Mother Earth.

What I need....

Rain falls as tears from the sky this day. The angels are crying over the way Mother Earth's children no longer live in harmony. In fact it is almost impossible to live in harmony with the rhythm of nature anymore as life is spinning faster and faster and we are supposed to just keep up with things, not ask questions.

But I do have questions. And I want answers! Who say that world leaders and corporate leaders are wiser, and knows better, what will lead to balance, in economy, climate change, susrvival? I say that thay obviously don't know anything but how to make more an more money (that isn't put to work for the good of all).
Who say that it is better to produce more and more and push and push for more advanced techology all the time? I don't! Sure, I couldn't share my thoughts with you here if it weren't for this computer but I don't need a new, faster, more advanced computer in six months to continue to share, do I?  And I don't need a 3D TV to be able to enjoy the programs I like to watch. I don't need a newer, more advanced fridge and freezer to keep my food longer and longer. What I do need is a house to shelter me from the cold and wet weathers, food that are free from chemicals, clothes to cover my body, clean fresh water and air, That's what I need. The rest is what I may want and wish for, but I don't need it.

First snow...

There is snow in the air today, a clear sign that Mother Earth is preparing for the long winter sleep. Many see the snow only as problem nature has brought upon us, they don't see the good in this nature's way of blanketing the earth, sheltering plants and small animals to keep them from freezing. I love all seasons, the cold white winter as well as the warm sunny summer, and I try my best to live in harmony with the rhythm of nature. Some see people like myself as a threat to the "modern lifestyle", but what is so good about not listening to the rhythm of nature? We can turn night into day with hte help of electric light... We can eat summer berries and food in the midst of winter... But does it make us happier? Or healthier?

I don't say that we should go back in time and stop using modern technology. I know in my heart that the path to our survival is to combine the modern high tech with the old wisdom. I couldn't write this if it wasn't for this computer - but I still prefer the slower more thoughtful way of living my life. We need modern medicine - but the result can be very much improved by the help of ancient methods as Reiki, qigong, herbs and so on. We don't have to rule one out. The path is ot combine all of the wisdom and let it work hand-in-hand.

Therefor I let Mother Nature take the lead in this, and let winter become my resting time as well, a time for gathering energy and strength and prepare for the time when the light and warmth returnes and we as well as nature can start growing again.

What am I doing here?

Who am I?
What am I?
Why have I come here?

I am Ladyhawk WhiteEagle.
I am woman. I am one of Mother Earth's and Father Sky's many children.
I have come here to live in harmony and respect with Mother Earth and all living things who share my space upon her.

The rocks, plants, trees, insects, birds, animals, they are all my brothers and sisters, and I need to treat them with the same respect that I wish to be shown. I don't own this land, or water, or air. I am just here to help protect this land, and water, and air, so that my children and grandchildren, and their children, will have a safe home here for generations after I am gone.

I am here to teach you to treat or planet, our Mother, with respect, to show you that there is a way to live in harmony with all living things around us. I came to share my vision of a world where we all can live in respect and harmony. We all have something to give to this world, we all have some talant that makes us important to this world's survival.
So let's sit down by the fire and share what knowledge we have to share, and together we will make a difference.

Being a witch

What is is like to be a witch? I guess the answer to that question is different from witch to witch. As a green witch I try my best to feel and show respect for and live in harmony with Mother Earth and all our relations. Being a green witch, for me, means freedom to follow the path I feel is right and to show my repsect for Mother Earth and Spirit in ways that feels right for me. It also means that I prefer to use objects from nature as well as work with the energies and spirits of nature.

Do I celebrate the Sabbats? Not like it's spelled out in many a book on witchcraft. I try to go out in nature and say a blessing for our Mother and all living things upon her, sometimes I make it a picknick with my daughter and then we "set a table" for the fairies, alves, and other spirits of nature and share our treats with them. It may be childish in some people's eyes, but to me it is how I celebrate.

To be quite frank, I don't think it is terrorists that is the biggest threat to humanity - the biggest threat comes from ourselves. We have let technology become our God, and we have let it brainwash us into zombies who do not think for ourselves anylonger. The High Priests of today are policians and other leaders who preach that money and material things are more important than our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. They tell us that to maintain this world we have created, and anything but this world is dangerous and forbidden, we have to make sacrifieses, sometimes even human.

As a green witch I stand opposed to this belif system. Mother Earth, our planet, is our home, the only home we have, and we owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to keep her healthy and safe. So instead of trying to rule over nature, we have to work and live in harmony with her. If not, we will be the terrorists that cause the end of humanity.
