My Pagan Bookshelf

Today i thought I would share what is on my Pagan bookshelf. I know a lot of Pagan have tons of Pagan books , but I personally don't seem to have that many, but hopefully I shall be expanding on it soon once I can get the funds for it of course . I always strive to have as many books as possible whether it be on tourism and tourist places like the Seychelles, or even educational books or story books. All books are precious and fortunately i have been blessed with so many I could turn my house into a library! Once i moved to Scotland my fiance couldn't believe the amount of boxes I had filled with just books alone (4 large boxes to be exact) he even said to me "Are you planning on even reading these books ever AGAIN?" What a daft question to ask. I may not read them all again, but at least i will have them to hadn't just incase I have the urge to read them again. I think books are more precious than any games console on this earth coz you can learn so much f...

Updates and other Life stuff

Dear friends, I know I haven't written in quite a while and it is really bad of me I know. Have been kept quite busy around the house and so on , trying to keep it nice and relatively clean as I can make it, but its not easy when a certain someone doesn't like to pick up after himself (you know who you are).

Prayer to Lady Artemis

Image
So I was at my computer and I felt like my mind had been "possesed" into doing a prayer for Lady Artemis. I don't know if its coz I haven't been doing my daily prayers of late to her *Gasp* (yes, I have been naughty) but hopefully having written this praise with her in mind, she will forgive me. I sing in praise of Lady Artemis, Great virgin huntress of the wild forests of Gaia and Protectoress of Young maidens and animals alike.  Swiftly do you travel through the forest as the light of Selene illuminates your way.  Great huntress of the silver bow, grant us your strength and agility in all things that may elude us and let us never falter in our quests however hard they may be.  Beloved virgin daughter of Zeus and Leto and twin sister to Lord Phoebus Apollo.  Teach us to be independent as you are. Teach us to be Strong as you are.  Teach us to be self sufficient as you are and let us never bow to the will of men.  Let us be the...
