Who is Windspirit?

I am a self-initiated High Priestess and I am true to my calling. I am a free spirit. I am strong as the strongest wind, but yet am also as gentle as a breeze. I am an American married to the most wonderful man that has ever walked the face of Mother Earth. I am a witch. I do not worship Satan; I am not interested in Satan. Satan was invented by the Christians. Satanism is a form of Christianity. I am not a Christian. I don't go to church on Sunday. Jesus is NOT my saviour. He was simply a holy man who lived 2,000 years ago.

I am not afraid of going to Hell because I don't believe in Hell any more than I believe in Satan. I believe in reincarnation; that I will come back to this world or another and live out another life. I am not evil. Telling people I am a "good witch" or asking me if I am a good witch implies that there are evil witches. There are evil people in the world and there are people who choose to work with the forces of nature in a way that harms others; those people are NOT witches.

The central law of being a witch is: "if it harms none, do as you will." Please don't ask me about sacrificing cats or desecrating churches. I love my animals! If I DO enter a church, I am not struck by lightning. If a Christian or a Jew or a Buddhist came to a pagan ritual, our gods would not strike them dead either. Isn't that something to think about?

Wearing a pentacle is no different than wearing a cross, crucifix, or Star of David. If you want me to take off the symbol of MY religion (and Wicca is a religion, protected by the same First Amendment rights as other religions) because it's offensive, you need to make everyone of every religion do that. The five points of the star signify the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire & Water, and the fifth point is Spirit; encircled by the Universe. How that can offend anyone boggles my little pagan mind. An image of a tortured, dying man is more offensive, yet thousands of people openly wear crucifixes every day.
Please don't ask me if I'm in a "coven". I personally do not like coven’s as to me they are another type of organized religion. To belong to a coven, you must believe in their ways and not independently, therefore a coven is NOT for me. I am an eclectic practitioner; I have no coven to discuss. In any case, our rituals have candles, food, drink, poetry, dancing...yes, there is a knife but it only cuts the air, not anyone's flesh. Don’t condemn me for my beliefs and try to convert me to your ways. I will never ever try to force mine upon anyone else. You either accept me for whom and what I am or you don’t.

I don't drink blood. I am not some kind of vampire. When I wear black it is because it keeps negativity away! If you want to ask me something related to MY religion, ask me when the next full moon is. Or what a blue moon IS! Ask me about herbs. Crystals, or Healing.

I don't cast spells on other people and I won't cast a spell on you to make you prettier, thinner, and more desirable. I won't cast a spell on your quarry to make him/her love you. Trust me, you don't want that, you don't want the Karma that involves and neither do I! That's a form of manipulation, taking away someone's power, infringing on their free will. Not nice at all.
I also won't cast a binding spell to make someone STOP doing something to you. Spell work is about co-creation.

A witch works with universal energy, with the gods and goddesses, to tilt the engine of probability somewhat. Need money? Don't try to enforce your boss to give you a raise. Simply ask the universe to increase the flow of abundance in your direction. That infringes on NO One’s free will. Don't try to make me ashamed of who I worship and what I am. Please don't try to convert me or "save" me. Don't throw holy water on me. Don't leave little pamphlets on my desk or windshield. I don't need to be saved. Witches are proud of the fact that we don't recruit people to become witches. We simply ARE and those around us see how we think, how we act and our inner peace and only when someone says "how do I become a witch?" do we take them into the fold with us.
I will NEVER leave a religious tract with anyone. I don't have one, unless you count this letter. I am not asking you to convert. I am only asking you to please understand. If you don't want to understand, well then that is your loss.

I follow no path per say. I take some from here and there and what works for me and my beliefs and that's the way I am. I study various pathways, including Wicca, Native American, Shaman or any that gives me the answers which I seek.

My spiritual name is: U-no-le-a-do-nuh-doe, which is my Cherokee name, meaning: WindSpirit; It fits so well. Because I am strong like the strongest wind and I can be gentle as the soft breeze. I am everywhere all at once.
This sums it all up as to who Windspirit is and that is me.
