Well, did anyone miss me? I missed writing. I've been so busy lately with my book launch and check this out, I actually got interviewed by a reporter. Me! I know strange uh? I was in the Longmont Times October 28th. Don't worry for my five loyal fans here's a link to the actual article http://www.timescall.com/news/longmont-local-news/ci_21857216/erie-witch-says-magically-inclined-get-bad-rap. You can also see the story on my website, www.JennipherDallas.com. It was strange too because in the article I was referred to as the Erie Witch. I've never been referred to by any other name or title other than my name or Mom. So it was strange. I am still hoping for some book reviews by anyone who wants to put it out there. So if you have read the book and want to have your opinion heard you can post it here on my blog or you can post it on my website. I promise not to get my feelings hurt should you not like the book.
OK enough self-promotion, moving on. It has been a little over a month since I've blogged and I've been busy with Halloween. We had a blast. The kids got all dressed up and my nephews came over and trick r treated in my neighborhood. I have to say I have the coolest neighbors ever. They really get into the spirit of things. Three doors down one neighbor actually transformed their house into the barn from the second season of The Walking Dead. There was a huge sign in front of his house that said "Warning walkers in the barn!" and a headstone with the spray painted name Dale on it. Anyone who follows this awesome series knows what that means. Needless to say that out of all the wonderful decorations and neat homemade haunted houses, this one was my favorite. I love The Walking Dead!
I was also preparing for my All Hallows Eve ritual. I chose my candles and their senses carefully, got all the pictures of my relatives past and prepared all the needed materials. It was a good ritual. For those of you who were not aware, I am Christo-Pagan. I know that a lot of people don't understand what exactly a Christo-Pagan is so I am borrowing from the following website:
"What is this term, Christo-Pagan? Isn't it a contradiction? Well, the truth is:
your ancestors were probably Christo-Pagans. In Europe the historical Dual
Faith period lasted from approximately 450 AD to 1100 AD, some say it began
with Christianity itself. Indeed, Christianity has undeniable pagan roots. During the
Dual Faith period our European ancestors were able to practice both their
"pagan" ancestral religions and the "New Religion" coming up from Rome."
I suggest doing some more research if this peaks your interest. I do have a couple of great books I would recommend reading if you are leaning in this direction. I actually met the authors and was awed at the level of information in the book. It's called ChristoPaganism by Joyce and River Higginbotham and the other is The Path of the Christian Witch by Adelina St. Clair. Both of these books are excellent and will help anyone who is Christian or more to the point Catholic and curious about Paganism or Wiccan. I do read that a lot of people are going to more ancient religions like Wiccan and Druidism, not sure why that is but it's not a bad thing in my opinion.
Yule is fast approaching and getting ready is going to be fun. I am looking forward to having my sister and her family join us. I will be keeping everyone updated on my journey through the shopping craze for what most people call Christmas. So bring on the sales and the crazies...I'm going in.
Until next time...
