Re :   New to forum

Thanks, Jade.  I check in frequently to see what's been posted.  Seems so many discussion groups are slow these days.  I'm still doing a lot of reading and reflection at this point.  Will probably post questions later, as I actually start DOING something. :)

Blessed be!

I will comment later on celestial names and The 'Wiser' Side of Life: What Do You Believe and Why a little later on.  As for now, I would like to congratulate us as I believe that "Angelskiss" may very well be our 100th member.  Just a milestone that I have been on the look out for.

Re :   New to forum

Welcome and welcome Selkie also,

Please forgive my running just a little bit late here- Aimoo seems to be having a few problems with their servers which in turn tends to take quite a few forums out of comission plus- I've been dealing with a few offline issues which I will mention in post on the main forum here shortly.

It is with great hopes that our newest members enjoy their stay here at the CWC as well as feel welcome and I do hope that both you and selkie will have fun exploring the different directions- paths and ideals here.

With Big Hugs and lots of love:
Missy.

Greetings!  I'm new to the forum, and to the path.  Currently leaning toward green/cottage/kitchen paths from with a Christian leading.

Hi folks.  

Re :   Is this where I say 'Hello?'

Hello Ramis,

I am Jade Dove / Missy- owner and administrator of the CWC here. Please forgive my getting around a little slowly. Life off-line has its trial and tribulations as well as tasks and I seem to deal with all three just about every year 2 or 3 times a year too hehehe. Spring has not been my best season so far.

Either way, Welcome to the CWC Hun and it is great to see another join our humble little home on the net.

In light of path following, I can understand where you are coming from and I admire your loyalty to the leading of the Father. All beits several of our members follow different directions and paths- I am 1 who follows Christ and who believes in the Crucifixion. I also believe in the Trinity- angels and quite a few other biblicaly listed beings even though I'm an Eclectic.

I don't believe in denominationalism nor doctrines or various forms of theology. I walk in my path with Christ- much as John the Baptist carried a solo and Independent relationship with God. I enjoy the simpler' things as it were and I find the 1 on 1 relationship with Christ a lot more comforting.

Such is just part of what had led me to become a Christian witch. Other factors play larger parts but the story behind them a bit long. For now though- I hope this helps just a little bit.

Missy.

Re :   New Member Welcome Center

Okay- I know that I have been running just a hair bit behind as of late- I had been going through quite a bit with a few medical problems as well as being kept busy from here to beyond and back- but now that several ordeals have been over-come and now successfully surpassed:

It is with love and heart that I ask our loved CWC family to welcome our most recent new-comers: Ramis and just55 to our humble home on the net with big hugs and lots of love :-)

Hello Everyone,

Topic :   New season approaches and with it a new Holiday:

As Winter is quickly passing us by- we have all been a little on the busy side with recovering from the Holidays- dealing with highly unusual weather and doing the best we can to get past a few economic dingers as well- but with the lighter side of life comes the promise of Spring and the changing of color out-doors hehehehe.

Here we are in March of the new year and it is with great hopes that everyone will have a wonderful up and coming season filled with new ventures and happy moments. For our Spring-Break Go'ers- have a safe and fun vacation with both care and safety measures in mind.

Re :   your celestial name

Okay- it took me a bit to remember that I had already posted on this one- but-

Welcome Falcon and it is with great hopes that you will enjoy your stay here at the CWC. Falcons are totem birds and it was interesting that you had posted about how you came across your witch name that includes the Falcon. One of my Totems happens to be the red Crested Falcon and is also a messenger bird for me.

Re :   How Time Flies: Yule Season Is Here!

Please forgive me for getting around rather slow lately hehehe- Holidays Geez hehehe.

It really has been half decent although we did see a few snow nights. It would flurry and breeze for a few hours and then would stop. Come the next day it would all melt. It's been doing that little bits at a stretch out here- but I can't really complain- I spend a good lot of the time indoors hehehe. The temps have been dropping at night though- down to about the 30s and that also. We're not with out our mild share of cold air hehehe. I can definitely say though that I am very thankful that we haven't seen blizzards this year like we did the last two years. Ack! Is all I can say about that hehehe.

In carrying forward here hehehe:

I'm glad that you enjoy the backgrounds and decorations. I do what I can to keep the CWC spirited and chipper. It's fun to look at and it also seems to give a sense of peace too but I will admit one thing- I love decorating things online too hehehe. I spent a few good years being quite the decorative web-geek hehehe. The joys of being an at home mom- learning how to do really fun things in one's spare time hehehe.

As long as everyone finds a sense of enjoyment- I'm happy to keep up with it for as long as I can hehehe.

Missy.

Re :   How Time Flies: Yule Season Is Here!

I'm glad the weather has been good for you and your family, Jade. The weather here in Portland, Oregon has been pretty nice as well. We don't get much snow here, but I just don't like short daylights and 30-40 degree F. weather--brrrrrrr! 

I love the winter scenery on the site--you always have such beautiful photos!

Topic :   How Time Flies: Yule Season Is Here!

Just the other day I had a bit of a "Duh" moment (Who doesn't right?) and I had forgotten just how fast that November had whipped right by hehehe.

I ended up going on vacation to Wisconsin Dells over the Thanksgiving weekend and I had really great time while I was out there, but after coming home over the following Saturday, I took Sunday off and then come Monday- I started working on my 3rd book manuscript......I've been rolling right along with writing every now and then hehehe.

But either way: It didn't take me very long to realize that we were starting into December and the Yule Season so- I had to catch up quick fast in a hurry. I am in hopes though that you all are enjoying the Holidays and that your Thanksgiving was bountiful this year and I hope too that you will continue to see an abundance of Joy and positive Spirits during this Winter Session.

I can honestly say that things have gone along very well where I am and that I am grateful for the more pleasant weather that we have been seeing as of late. Last year we were virtually drowned with snow by this time, this year we have seen a lot of sunshine and half decently warm temps for once hehehe. I can not complain about 30's 40's or 50's even, I would rather see that than I would sub zero temps and 2 to 3 feet of snow hehehehe.

With big hugs and lots of love to all:

Missy.

Re :   Welcome Home Laurie :-)

Welcome Home Laurie and we are glad to have you back Hun.

I'm sorry to hear about Dagwench, but I hope that she finds wonderful new ventures in what ever path she has decided to follow come future days but in carrying a chipper note, I can garantee you that the Christian Witch Yahoo group and the CWC will most definitely continue to thrive Hun.

The CW Yahoo group has you as its moderator and each day that you spend with your members is a blessed moment to find wisdom and support and from my own point of view, I couldn't think of anyone better who could take the helm and ride the course as well as you do.

The CWC will always stay afloat as well and had it not been for the love and sense of Family community that the CW Yahoo Group inspired almost two years ago now, the CWC would have only been just a passing thought. Two great online ships floating strong and courageously through each passing season though and more CW family members find home and comfort in both.

Bless Your heart Hun and have no worries, these groups will continue to thrive every day and as time comes and goes- more CW's will find their way to the Family.

It is just so nice to have you Home Hun and I missed you so very much hehehehe.

Eeek- I had almost let this one slip past me too- Hehehehe- I am glad to hear that you have Christian Witch's Notebook saved on your wish list. Funny as it is- I do the same thing when I find interesting things at amazon too hehehe- getting my husband to let me order stuffs every now and then can be a whole different story hehehehe.

Missy.

Re :   More Exciting News- You guys are going to love this!

---

Hey Jade! I'm (finally) back!

I have your book on my "wishlist" at Amazon. Actually, it's a list I use to keep track of the items I will buy at Amazon. I get several gift certificates from various work I do online, and sometimes use these to buy items, but if they take too long, I just buy it all myself. So whichever, I'll be getting it!

I plan on coming here on a regular basis. I see most Christian/Pagan groups--or pagan groups in general online have withered away--some big ones. Covens too. Such a shame....

Looks like the Christian Witch at Yahoo and this one are the only two I know that are still active. Well, let's try to keep them that way.

I've known for quite some time now that, unfortunately, the owner Dagwench, of the Yahoo group has long since moved on from being a Christian Witch. Her main website discusses that in depth....so it's a miracle that group and it's year-and-a day witch class still is active. Dagwench wanted it that way as she said if others can benefit form it, then so be it.

Anyway, it's great to be back here. We've both been busy! :)

Re :   Feeling Lost Spiritually, Chronic Illness, and a few questions

---

Bless your heart Kindle.

From my point of view and for the longest of time now- I've never really seen just "One Right" or "Soul Direction" as the only means of spiritual path following. With everything that I had observed over time and the conlusions I've drawn- I've seen such as more of a Human Agenda than it would be a spiritual one and I've probably mentioned that very thought on a slightly repeated scale- but either way- it's better to have a close and personal connection with the Deities of Heaven than it would to be seeing one's self being run through "3 Way" intervention.

With being an Eclectic- as people love to lable so to speak- a person has an unlimited source of opportunities to experiment with a number of different options and they can explore just about any different spiritual avenue they choose as well. It's like having infinite freedom with out human boundaries holding you back. To be honest- I really dislike human boundaries centered around spiritual regard. Waaaaaaay too limiting and extremely exhausting to have to keep up with. Theology- doctrines- denominations- seminary- what the gaboodles ya know? And to boot- what does it really wind down to in the long run?

Not much from my understanding- the basic conclusion would be that of "Humanity rules over the throne of Heaven- therefor Humanity has the over all say." I've heard that very conclusion in so many underlying round-about ways by the time sermons were so much as half through at various churches. What great a sin it is to attempt to Usurp the throne of God and for reasoning that no Human being much less an angel- has ever been successful at actually accomplishing such. Not to my knowledge nor the scriptures I've read- has such ever been stated as true.

When one has managed to break away from various systems- set ups- groups- organizations and more- one finds a new means of coming back to both life and light. The truth and real path reveals themselves and then they make it a point to lead in both a righteous and honest direction. The connection with the Host of Heaven was meant to be personal- one on one- mano' e' mano'- initmate even. Each person is different- an individual and each direction is different for each individual- no two directions are ever the same and no two directions will ever be the same.

Our paths- our tasks and more are handed down to us by the hand of Heaven and we are meant to follow who-ever or what ever resident thereof for reasoning known only to God. With out looking to sound awful here- I like my Independent stature. I have learned a great many different things and there have been times when life hasn't thrown me a curve ball every now and then- that I have enjoyed peace- quiet- tranquility- doing spells- rituals and other things with out being disturbed by would be impositional forces all be its when ever I've been rudely confronted with my spiritual preferences at times- I've been known to stand my grounds with a bit of a vigilant spirit hehehehe.

A few folks I know tend to dislike that a bit- but- whether they like it or not- when I make my points- I also make it known that this is who I am- such is where I'm going and that there is no way on this green and blue planet that I am going to defy the direction in which my Lord and Creator has assigned me to follow. In narrowing it down a bit- I blatently disobey humanity's would be false rule over spiritual path following and how it is they deem such as needing gone about. With that- such an ideal tends to lean towards following one of the more common- yet slightly over-looked scripture of: " Be Thee in the world- but also be Thee not of it. "

Such entails spiritual issues and regards as well and in some ways it can be incorporated into one's reasoning for following the path and direction in which God leads a person on a one on one scale. More often than not- I like to think that said scripture also kind of inspired my own personal creed: " Live and let Live- Love and Let Love- Learn and let Grow." It's truly amazing what wonders lay ahead on an Independent Spiritual path and in saying this from both heart and spirit- even greater wonders come through works and practices as well.

These are just my views- but I hold hopes and faith also that all will come to know their true directions and what their relationship with Heaven truly means and for reasoning that both are blessings in an extremely rare form.

Missy.

Re :   More Exciting News- You guys are going to love this!

You're very welcome Kindle and I am glad that you received your copy in a quick manner.

Amazon.com- when you direct order from them- gets things out really fast amd when they say 3 to 5 business days- they mean 3 to 5 days hehehe.

Believe it or not: I had ordered a copy from them too and for reasoning that I didn't see my author's copy nor the copy I ordered from the publisher for a good lengthy period of time (3 darned weeks)- but get this- I got the copy from amazon.com and the copy I ordered from the publisher- the very same day- and then the day after those arrived- I recieved my author's copy hehehehe.

It was just nuts- but- I can't complain about having gotten 3 copies and for an even greater reason than I had expected. A very loved friend from my Middle School years- whom I had not seen in 25 years- had come to Des Moines to visit with me last weekend and while we were having a blessed time with catching up- I signed one of the copies and gave it to her. It was the first time that I had ever autographed something that cool as it were and it gave me a momentary sense of accomplishment hehehehe.

I reeeeaaaallly don't like doing the boasting thing and for reasoning that I've learned to be humble during my lifetime- but that one small moment I will remember and cherish and for reasoning that a wonderful long time friend was the first whom I could do something just that awesome for.

In the mean time though:

I am really glad that you like the Christian Witch's Notebook Sweetie. I had lots of fun contributing to it and it makes me happy that you find comforting ideals while reading. I probably seem slightly long winded in some ways- but I just have to say that I love sharing really great things with folks and I also enjoy being a bit of a laid back and right out there in the open- type person too.

I do that a lot here and I love the sense of family that we have all established- for going on 2 years now and with having all of the wonder and joy in which we share- it helped remind also that not only would my contributions be going out to every corner- but that they would be going out to my CW and CWC family as well. H. and I both believe that when sharing insight- opinions and other fun things- that it's easier to share from a true down to earth sense. There had been several different things that have come out that might share only one two small opinions and the rest being a bit on the overly metaphysical side- we throw in a few things here and there but the rest is personal view and thought hehehe.

There is a different side to everything- including being a CW and if I look at in all of the right ways- it's good to know both sides hehehe. We hope that the book will bring lots of really great insight and we also hope as well that it will be beneficial. The one topic I continually think about is that of the section we included for new CWs hehehehe- I like to grab my copy and read that a few times and only because I'm reminded of how much fun I was having while typing it on my computer at full speed hehehehe.

It's funny what a person can come up with when their mind starts rolling really fast so I guess that were someone to ask me what topic I liked best from our book- it would be the topic about coming new to being a CW hehehehe. There's insight and wisdom and then there's a bit humor here and there as well hehehehe. What's life with out a bit of funny in it right? Hehehe.

I just have to say too: That I wish that I really could visit with my loved friends- share goodies- have coffee- tea- soda- what ever the preference and more and just enjoy the blessing of having everyone's company for however long that Heaven gives all of us for coming together and visiting. I may have to have a talk with my husband again about possibly arranging for a CWC convention come warmer season. I had thought about a camping adventure- where it is everyone could come out and camp out as well as run around getting ideas from folks in regards to what kinds of activities they would like.

I may start updating my notes again- so if anyone would like to see this idea come to life at some point- please let me know- I will be more than happy to add thoughts and ideas to my notes in thought of putting together a really great camp out convention. After all- 2012 is a new year and we all have some really great ventures to look forward to.

Missy.

Re :   More Exciting News- You guys are going to love this!

 I ordered it from amazon.com last week and it arrived about 2-3 days later (as a side note: I was a little surprised how fast it came - I didn't expect it until a few days later) but I unfortunately haven't had free time to read it cover to cover yet. I have absolutely loved what I have read.  It feels like we're sitting over a cup of tea and listening to you share on anything Christian/Witchy that you're thinking of at the time. Very cozy, intimate, and enjoyable. :D I find myself wishing that I didn't have to put it down.

Thank you for writing it! :)

Re :   Feeling Lost Spiritually, Chronic Illness, and a few questions

 Angel, you words are a comfort, and very soothing.  Thank you for your response, and I'm so sorry to take so long to reply.  Your path-story, sounds like it has been difficult, but beautiful as well.

In October I read a book on The Morrigan, and while I can't pinpoint when it happened, but at some point during reading the book, I grew to feel that I finally have an understanding and connection with the feminine aspect of divinity, which has helped me feel a little less anchor-less.

Missy, thank you! :) Ever since I started looking into alternatives to traditional Christianity, I've felt very strongly that I am supposed to work with characters from books - the Lord of the Rings in particular, but some others as well - but I'm having a hard time getting my mind (but it's from fiction!) and Spirit (what I sense to be true in my heart) to come to terms with each other - more mind than spirit, as is usually the case. Also having a problem with my pathwork feeling like it's all "in my head" - lots of thinking on things, but not a whole lot of activity (rituals, circle casting, etc.) ringing true for me... and I don't know... I just haven't found a way to bring what's in my head into expression in my life.

I think for some people the structure of a single path might be good - but I think it would make me feel too constrained, so I think I tend to agree with you about eclecticism. :D And I love being able to explore,  and find similarities, and finding God(dess) in unexpected places.

Re :   Christian Witch's Notebook makes its way to Barnes & Nobles!

Christian Witch's Notebook has successfully made its way to Barnes & Nobles! Yaaaay!

All be its it has yet to reach the B&N shelves- you can order it from B&N online:

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/christian-witchs-notebook-jade-dove/1106781436?ean=9781451269048&itm=1&usri=christian%252bwitch27s%252bnotebook

I figure that with in a few weeks to a month or so- it will finally see shelf marketing and to boot- CWN is gaining quite the bit of popularity and for reasoning that many are interested in sharing the works and insight with in both the Christian Witch's Notebook by H. Fuller Hutchinson and Me along with Christian Witch's Handbook by H. Fuller Hutchinson.

It is both a joy and a surprise that this wonderful and loved book had come right out of the starting gate at virtually full speed- but it also continues to bring joy in light of just how popular and further acknowledged that Christian Witchcraft in general has become with in just this last year alone.

So Please- my loved CW Family- Rejoice and Celebrate for knowing that more and more traditions and practices are becoming both familiar and better understood through both heart and the patience of the populous of the world.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

With Love:
Missy.

Dear CWC Family,

As you all know- We have managed to have lots of fun celebrating the Halloween - Samhain Season. I hold hopes that everyone had a safe and exhilerating time and although it seemed to have come and gone just so swiftly- may it always be a memorable Holiday in our hearts hehehe.

We are now entering into November and "Turkey + Trimmings" Season but most importantly- a time to give Thanks and share in Family love along with Blessed Spirits. May you all be blessed this Holiday Season and may Joy always reside in your hearts and spirits.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Exciting News! Christian Witch's Notebook is now listed on Amazon com: 

http://www.amazon.com/Christian-Witchs-Notebook-Jade-Dove/dp/1451269048/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top 

Instead of being 50% out there- it is now 100% out there!

And beyond having read a nice assortment of emails and fun little notices: Today- I made it a point to front the cost for the promotion of Mine and H's book at the Exhibitions and book~author promotions being held in Las Vegas! Among their guests- Barnes and Noble's own CEO- who publishers know is one of the biggest book sellers in the country!

Just as many new authors are hoping as well: Let's all of us pull together- hope- pray- cross fingers and do what ever it is that we all do in hopes of getting Christian Witch's Notebook a little familiarity and a lot of sales!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suffice it to say- the differences between places online are just so overwhelming sometimes and just about everyone has to put on their best face for what ever event comes up- but I will say this much- I really do hope that they will promote Christian Witch's Notebook at their event and not just for profitable purposes- but for making it a little easier to find and obtain also.

It's that ever popular "2 directions for every 1 Itinerary" thing- geez hehehehe- but either way- it is now just a little bit easier to find.

we made today, but any day in this life

pull will be upon us, the mark of the forest
will be on us, indelible handprints, birthmarks.
We will know each other in city or forest,

despite continents and oceans, we will know
each other as much, as little as
we know ourselves, as much as we know

what the mind is, what the body
can be. Amidst
all the changing, our souls will remain
true to each other. The rest can be mist.

Re :   Christian Witch's Notebook Is Being Sold Now!

Dear Family-

There is just one thing I need to mention also- the author picture on the back of the Christian Witch's Notebook is a picture of me- but they also have H. Fuller's short bio right next to it. Kind of a book flaw if you know where I am getting at so please do not be surprised when you see it. Chances are- there are several different kinds of books out there with a few little flaws.

Re :   wand making???

Actually-

I do use a wand every now and then- more for circle casting and once in a while- a power spell or ritual- depending on the out-come I desire and I have made my own wand also- If I remember right- we did have an arts and crafts post going at one point and for what ever reason- I'm just not seeing it listed on the CWC.

I had my wand and a few things posted and there were a few members who had also had a few of their pieces displayed. Someone has probably been playing around with a few of my settings here and I may have to go back and do another site evaluation.

Either way though- I had made my wand from a fallen spruce branch that I had come across in my back yard while hunting for some really good pieces to use in my practice. I did a lot of bark stripping- sanding- staining and jeweling. It was a lot of fun and gave me the opportunity to enhance my creative side. I never thought that I would find myself saying something like this- but- In the Christian Witch's Notebook- I shared in detail the things that I had worked on from my staff made of oak to my spruce wand and if I remember right also- I should still have pictures of them in one of my photo albums on my aimoo account.

You should be able to find them here: http://zone.aimoo.com/photo/Jade_Dove/Staff-and-Wand-817085 to give something of an idea of the things that one can do with really awesome wooden items.

Bless your heart truthseekerbybirth and many thanks for sharing Hun.

It is always good to have to different views and various neat ideals come through our members here at the CWC. Every person has their own direction and path lain before them by the hands of Heaven but the one thing that I know to be the most precious is that we all seem to be going in Heaven's ever forward motion whether together or individually.

The life of a CW is truly a blessed gift and I can say with both honesty and love in my heart that I am glad that we have all come together as a loved family under the loving and guiding hand of Heaven in general.

What do I believe in? Wow- what a question!

Topic :   wand making???

I am new here. I was wondering- does anyone have any ideas or input on wands. Do you use them? If so how do you use them and how did you make yours, process, steps, rituals, ect?

Re :   Our Book Is Finally Going To Be Published!

I can't wait!!!

Re :   What Brought you here???

---

I must whole heartedly agree with how wonderful it has been to have found the CWC.  I have been on my journey for over 3 years now... there were specific events that lead to my journey however for my ENTIRE existence I had been aware of the gifts I have been blessed with (for one reason or another).  My "avoidance" lead to a struggle that started to brew in 2007 and by 2008 it had became OBVIOUS that I was being beckoned to pay close attention and to accept what I have been given.  I felt alone and insane and the more I studied, the things that I had avoided (because I was ignorant or afraid of them) became apparent.  I still have so much to learn; I must stay close to my Lord because there is a lot going on here.
That being said; I have come to believe that we were all called here when we were supposed to be.  There is a great job ahead for our CWC family and it is underway with the publishing of our (FIRST) book (which I had nothing to do with, however, it's publicication is further verification of my faith and position).  This is truly a wonderful event.  Even though our journeys are very personal, we still come together to congregate as one and if we are well versed, studied and wise individually, together our energies may be used to a greater cause that we may not yet be aware of.  It was time for me to be here and I am so happy about it. 

Re :   What Brought you here???

Merry meet all! I just found you. It is so very hard to find community with christian witches, although it is getting easier of late.

Re :   Our Book Is Finally Going To Be Published!

---

I am anxiously awaiting this publication.  I am so very proud of this verification and I will study diligently until its arrival; that way I can take time to enjoy all of the information I am about to receive.  GREAT WORK!!!  I was going to try not to make a comment but I am really overwhelmed with excitement.
