Religion/Path Views
Religious mutt. Raised Catholic (which I'm not sure you ever can completely un-do, nor do I want to un-do parts of it), but inherent witch all along. Can't say as I fully adopt any ONE spiritual path, but more like a mish-mash of many. Bottom line: The Golden Rule and I admire what the Dalai Lama sums it up as: "My religion is kindness."
Who am I
I live in San Diego with my husband. Our three kids are grown and off on their own or in college. I have a home-based soap workshop and art studio I work out of and sell online - www.carolochs.com. I work a lot, but love what I do!
More About Me
Hmm....someone who's never grown up! Likely a fairy witch trapped in human form, shackled to earthly confines. But just because my body is here, doesn't mean my mind is.... ;) . I'm easily lured away by enchantment.
Favorite Quotes
"Don't follow the herd, lead the pack!"
"We're never gonna survive, unless we get a little bit crazy."
Hero's or Other Info
"I don't know how anyone can live without one place of enchantment to turn to."

A place for aspiring writers and poets to share whatever they are working on or they have written.
The name mirrors my blog and is inspired by it.
Creativity is magick in itself and magick is the inpiration for creativity...and it is a precious gift, so come share it with all!
Magic dwells within the pen, the sword that cuts to the heart and bone, to show that one has been and one has been seen, never forgotten nor taken away. Power given in true light to be shared in darkness, revealing the soul as it should be.

If you are of Scottish, Irish, or other Celtic descent and also follow a non-traditional or natural path, here's a place for you! We can talk about our family tartans, festivals that are coming up here or abroad, food, recipes, you name it! If it's plaid, bring it on!
This is a song my jazz-guitarist husband wrote when he was apparently in a more ethereal mood. Sounds witchy to me! He plays all instruments on it (voice is synthesized).

I have a child hood dollhouse that I took w/me that my dad built by hand no kit. I't's 4' tall. Needs a MAJOR renovation big job lol 3 floors paint, repairs, the carpet has to go and the electrician (hubby) needs to get the lights back on. Have fun with your house and yes please share when it's done.
Carol Ochs ::singing:: We're having a heatwave...a tropical heatwave....!
Aye! Nothing like stirring a hot pot of soap, in upper 90's weather, in a bikini, soap apron, goggles and gloves! So glad I'm not in a reality show.

I remember that look, my late kitty used to give me that look when I would give her a bath. Then she'd proceed to claw the stuffing out of me.
