"Well in many cultures eyes have been viewed as a protective symbol. Since they see danger, food (for hunters or even gatherers) and watch your back so to speak. The glowing yellow sun is also seen as protection from the dark among other things.…"

Zia Soulseer ☽♡☾ posted a blog postCleansing, Banishing, The need to be Wiccan and Origin Stories! A Rant and My thoughts on Some WT posts
I see lots of posts by people looking for spells.Spells to fix this,cleanse that or banish something. Spells to show them the way or asking which Gods to pray to for this or for that. People scared of some thing haunting them. Posts about some over the top origin story. I think to myself "Why can't they just find a mundane way to solve their issue?". Usually the solution is obvious. Most of the time it seems like people don't like the answers they get. In other cases it seems like they already…See More
Zia Soulseer ☽♡☾ replied to Ashe Ragnell's discussion So tell us about your altar..."I used my very nice and clean garage for ritual, I was able to hang up curtains and draw on the ground, but I still held smaller rituals out doors in secluded areas. Now I do all rituals and spells in my inner temple. I still have an altar…"

Some Beliefs
I believe that people should treat others the way they want to be treated.I don't believe in the 3 fold law. We don't know for sure how things work but IMO magic is all about belief and intent.So if you intend to hurt someone and you believe that it will come back 3 fold then it will.
I practice sympathetic magic.I work with the elements to represent the object/Goal that I wish to effect. I love working and finding elemental connections.I also came up with a concept I call Split Elements.Each element has a part of the others in it in some form.I look for that part and use it to enhance my spells.It makes sympathetic magic easier.
I assign elements to the four corners but not set in stone. I invoke the Elements depending on my surroundings or the winds. I do not just cast my circle Diosil and starting in the east or north, it depends on what I am doing it would also depend on which side of the hemisphere I am on. My spells are also not set in stone, I alter them according to the time, day, season, purpose. Different herbs do the same things but they are associated with different aspects of existence.I also do most of my rituals in my inner temple which has everything I need.
I feel that the power of a spell lies in your Faith, Will and Intent. If a ritual and praying to Gods works to get you to have faith in your own spells then it will work. If you have faith they will work without a ritual or Gods they will work.Since I believe that we are part of the source and that all energy, everything including atoms and life is connected it is easy to work magic on anything that has energy and everything is energy. Space or Distance is not a matter since the source is in all and space is not really empty. By working on one "object" in my inner temple, I can effect another object no matter how far.
- About Me:
- I have a boyfriend and lots of pets.
I'm Puerto Rican. My family has Taino, French, Sicilian, Spanish, and Persian in our blood. My ancestors started in Persia and then worked their way up to France and back down to Spain then went to Puerto Rico then the US.
I love myths.When I was 6, I use to pray to Zeus and YHWH at the same time! I didn't get why YHWH was suppose to be the only God.
I started learning about other religions when I was 9 and cause of the similarities started to question my faith.My dad had a collection of books about different faiths from around the world that I could read.At 12 I got my first occult history book. I got a book on paganism at 13 and the rest of my info I found online. I was very secret about what I was doing, nobody knew. Even now it's only need to know.
When I was a kid I didn't have imaginary friends or spirit friends. I talked to the 3 pine trees outside my apartment Window. I have even gone back and visited with them. I also talked to the wind. I would race the shadows of the clouds or ask the wind questions. I would ask the wind to rustle the leaves or blow stuff around as a way to answer. Sometimes I still talk to my old friend when I am sitting outside.
I was in the Army for 8 years active duty working with The PATRIOT missile sym. Now I work at a very nice funeral home in my hometown.
If I come across a lost or injured animal I help them. All of my pets have been saved off the streets and in one case, off a school bus.
I volunteer at animal shelters in the Winter and bird/wild animal rehabilitation centers in the Spring.
I always give change and help to those that ask. I help out at the local soup kitchen in the Fall and help out my neighbors when I can.
Visit http://www.volunteermatch.org/ to find volunteer work in your area :)
I donate yearly to various charities but I always donate to Alley Cat Allies
Summer is my time to go camping and go on long hikes. To stay active/healthy I go hiking, swimming, belly dance and use my elliptical.
I'm an Conscious Empath. I feel emotions and can pick up on images (Not like a clear picture, but colors, vibrations/energy and shapes.
I work with dreams.I listen to a dream,visualize the dream and then pick up on the message of the dream by the feelings that radiate off of the person. Lucid dreams are the only kinds of dreams I have usually.
I work with the Tarot.I have my own spread that I use but I found out later that it is very similar to the Gypsy Spread. I scry and divine with dice, playing cards, dominoes, & candle wax.
- I am 18 years of age or older

Other Interests
I am interested in the other side of a story, the hidden "truths". Religions interests me to no end and I love hearing, experiencing and reading about other cultures.
Goals
1)I want to be certified in Cremation and Embalming.
2)Have an Associates degree in Funeral Services
3)Have an Associates degree in General Sciences
4)Have a Bachelor Degree in Mortuary Sciences and Funeral Services
5)Have a Masters Degree in Thanatology.
6)Pay off all debt...I only am in debt 3000 but that is a lot IMO

8)Start a garden when I have the property
9)Eat healthier and live cleaner
10) Stay between 140-150 pounds depending on the season
11)Down Size the amount of stuff I have

Spiritual Goals
Understanding of the past, Acceptance of the present and a Clear focused mind that is ready to create changes now for the future. Also a better understanding of my inner self and the web of life.
Dream/Hopes
I hope that one day people will start to care more for each other,themselves,other life forms and the worlds around them not because a religion tells them to or suggests it but because they just want to out of the kindness in their own hearts. When people can be good people and be one with each other without the need of a religion that is when I think we will get true peace. I'm not saying religion should be gone, I'm just saying I feel that people should not need it to be good people.
- Favorite Movies:
- I really like watching documentaries, Silent films, Epics, Sci fi fantasy and Anime.

More up to date about me
I am almost 30 and have been finding my path and studying the occult (to use the modern usage) for 17 years. Unless you go back to when I started praying to the Greek gods when I was 6 :D, which would make it 22 years, but I don't count it that way. I start from the time I said to myself "I'm a Witch". That stayed a secret until I was 24. Now that info is only need to know :)
As you read above I was in the Army full time Active duty for 8 years. While I was in I went to Korea, Bahrain, UAE and spent some time in Germany and Spain.
I was married to a fellow soldier whom I met after I got to permanent party. We were together 7 years. Then he committed adultery while I was deployed. I knew he had and when I got home we talked about it and he confessed and his friends told on him to me after the divorce. I had a tough first year after I got back from deployment and got out of the army, but things turned around after that. I have been dating my new boyfriend for 2 years and things are still great.
I am going to school for funeral services, I got most of the prerequisites done and almost all of my generals out of the way. I had a really cool Biology for Funeral services class that had us working on bodies in the morgue and I am currently working at the best funeral home in my city.
The first year after I got back from deployment
- I got tested and was found to suffer from chronic Bronchitis and asthma even though I am not a smoker and I am in shape
- Found out my husband at the time had committed adultery while I was deployed for only 4 months!With several people.I knew but I got proof once I got home.
- Got home but the cat that was a kitten when I left had to be put to sleep because she got Feline leukemia even though she was an indoor cat.
- The Husband and I filed for a divorce
- Got kicked out of the Army because of my new medical conditions
- Lost my house in the Divorce
- Had to move back home to my father and my abusive step-mom.
- My dad had a heart attack
- Which happened on my first day of college and after a few months I had to drop all my classes
- He then had an allergic reaction to the blood thinners which caused clotting in his legs
- He had to get his right foot amputated and left leg amputated above the knee
- Then had to go back and get the right leg amputated again to below the knee
- and then went back and got the right leg amputated again to above the knee
- He had a quadruple bypass
- and he was diagnosed with Diabetes and some other stuff
But has all turned out great the next year:
- I am home and happy with family
- Because I was kicked out I was able to be home to help my parents during their time of need and help them financially.
- I collect 75% disability from the Va for my med issues for life which really helps me out while I go to school. Not to mention the amount of back pay for 1 year!
- I got a great boyfriend that I love so much!
- I moved in with my new boyfriend
- My dad stopped drinking and smoking
- My Step-Mom stopped drinking and smoking
- My parents marriage is doing better then ever
- Because of this whole thing with my dad, me and my step-mom bonded.
- My Ex who got the house is stuck with all this debt because he bought it for 30,000 more then it was worth.
- My other cat did not get the Feline leukemia and is healthy
- My new man is allergic to cats and he could not have lived with me if I had 2 cats. (though I am still sad about losing my other cat)
- My Ex husband because he was not married was sent to Japan and was there during the earthquake.He is fine which is good.
- I am going to school and working towards a degree in funeral services, a field that so far I love and I know it will get even better with time.

Lacee Hartman said… I understand, I can't stand cheater either, if they are willing to cheat with you, then they are willing to cheat on you. I don't like the thought of breaking up a family like that, or breaking someones heart like that, it destroys trust. The fact that she didn't seem sorry about it at all, almost seeming like she was proud of it, I believe it was ok for anyone to call her out on it. You do the bad deed, you suffer the ill affects.
