This is a new blog, set up mostly because some friends suggested I should do. I didn't really think it was that interesting to talk about so I was pleased when they suggested I did so.
As you may have guessed from the title of this blog; I'm a witch. If you don't know much about witches then you'll probably think we're evil, wear pointy hats and 'curse' people. In fact we're much more likely to be good, wear garlands of flowers and help people; although it's hard to undo the Hollywood image of witches as it is the false image created through years of persecution.For me, a witch is (not exclusively female, but as I am, I shall be talking about my own personal path) a wise woman with a great connection, love and reverence for the natural world and the beings in it. A witch lives their life in accordance with good principles such as The Wiccan Rede and cares for others...at least that's my take on things. I'm also vegan and queer too, so I'm going to warn you now that these things may sneak into my blog now and again. I am far from proselytizing though and judge nobody for their decisions.So, this is a place I'm going to record some thoughts and ideas but in the interests of honesty; there are lots of things I will not be talking about for personal reasons or for reasons of secrecy. If you were wondering about the title; Wyrd is a feminine noun. Wyrd, and its Norse cognate urðr, mean "to come to pass, to become"...in other words; fate.I hope you enjoy these words.Blessed be,Beth
