I also remember turning our bar stools upside down and turning them into "rocket ships". Unfortunately, I'm not very imaginative anymore. Sad how the world tends to crush all that creativity out of us...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405125512223067967.post-61537400915470125232016-07-30T06:29:52.380-07:002016-07-30T06:29:52.380-07:00It really seems we have a lot in common, and had s...It really seems we have a lot in common, and had similarly escapist, imaginative childhoods. I remember being around 10-years-old when I realised that there really were witches out there-- people who practised all manner of rituals and cast spells to help them focus their energy on manifesting their goals. I couldn't have been more thrilled, though I knew my family didn't approve of this kind of spirituality. Despite this, I found my own secret path into it. It's not quite as dramatic as in the films or my childhood flights of fancy of course, but there is still something so beautiful and awe inspiring in lighting some candles, for example, and meditating on a wish, or collecting tumbled gemstones with different colours and healing properties.<br />I, too, own many spells and witchcraft books, and very much enjoy tarot reading! I use the Crystal Visions deck currently, which appealed to me due to is soft, romantic, fantasy imagery. Which deck(s) do you use?<br /><br />This discussion has very much made me want to write a post about this topic! <br /><br />Thank you so much!

I do hope you'll enjoy your stay.<br /><br />You write so beautifully about your childhood. It actually reminds me a bit of my own: at some point I was so tired of reality that I managed to convince my friends (and myself) that we were witches, each gifted with a different element. I think my childhood years were probably my most magical - and happiest - so I've been trying to summon that special sense of childhood wonder back into my life. I even bought myself a couple spellbooks, and I like to think I'm not bad with tarot cards, too. <br /><br />By the way, I've read through your blog and I love your writing style!Lydia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348385132090979726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405125512223067967.post-39716440664061452712016-07-29T14:21:21.158-07:002016-07-29T14:21:21.158-07:00I'm most delighted to make your acquaintance!
...I'm most delighted to make your acquaintance!<br /><br />Growing up I found myself to be truly obsessed with magic-- I fancied myself a witch, and would conjure up vivid daydreams of an alternate realm, where I would meet and talk to fellow witches. We'd go looking for magical creatures, gather ingredients for potions, come up with all manner of spells for making life easier, and always be back in time for bed! I, too, loved A Little Princess, and the idea of remaining whoever you feel you are inside, despite your surroundings and circumstances.<br />I had piano lessons growing up, and reached grade 4. I wish I had more time to play the piano but these days it only happens once in a blue moon, even though I do enjoy it.<br /><br />I fell in love with lolita in my teens. For years I'd felt a lot of societal pressure to distance myself from overt femininity. Discovering lolita was so wonderful for me because it meant I could finally be myself in a community of like-minded people. Through lolita I've gotten into many hobbies I wouldn't have otherwise, like sewing, crafting, and going for afternoon tea. Another interest of mine is photography. I love photographing lolita friends, flora and fauna, and whatever else I happen to find beauty in.<br /><br />I am definitely a lifestyle lolita! Lolita is such a huge part of my day to day life that I don't know how I could consider myself anything else.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your hospitality; I take my tea with a dash of milk and no sugar, please!Spiffykiddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171770828732667123noreply@blogger.com
