Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween to everyone! :pumpkin:
August 2012 - featuring :iconelemental-bliss: :#1:

1) Name or Nickname: - My given name is Sian D'Neal Farris, however, in some circles I am called Shay or Willowyn...
You may call me what you wish.

2) You and your path: Coincidentally, when I was about 12-13 (conveniently around the 'coming of age') Fate brought two res 'kids' from South Dakota to my teensy town in West Texas (I know, right?). They were between 20-30. They taught me and a select few the ways of their people. I learned their creation story, participated in ceremonies including an all night raindance and a week long vision quest in Mesa Verde, Colorado. It was all very intense. There were weekly lessons of the history and stories of the Sioux. They gave me the name "Dowampe Topa Tatepi" meaning "Sings with the Four Winds." Since then, I have looked into other pagan practices, but I wouldn't call myself Wiccan. I do resonate with the pentacle/pentagram. I have looked into and resonate with my celtic and norse roots. I have runes and tarot cards. I resonate with Egyptian mythology as well... I think there is a past life connection if not many... but I can't limit myself to one form of Craft. I feel as though I have practiced all of these before separately, now I integrate. I have always been fascinated to see the underlying congruencies of the ancient traditions to see what connects us all on a seemingly subconcious level...

3) Altars and sacred spaces: Every unadulterated glimpse and moment in nature is a sacred space for me but there are many photos of my altar in my scrapbook. I don't think my conservative christian relatives even look at this anymore, but I am through hiding myself from them anyway. My altar expands every few months it seems... I need to build a small cob hut to contain all of its majickal goodness at this point! But I have long since decided to have an altar always... (since about the age of 14 I have been calling myself a "witch" or on the path of a shaman... {26 now})

4) Your favorites:I have a book wishlist that could span a mile at least, but I am always thirsting for more understanding of herbs, their practical medicinal properties as well as their metaphysical medicinal properties. I have been having prophetic dreams more lately, though have had an ongoing theme since early childhood... So, I have been harnessing the power of Mugwort to help me focus and be more active and aware during said intense dreamworking.... I have a beautiful Isis athame, tibetan singing bowl and a rattle snake skin wrapped spirit stick that I wire wrapped myself and take with me on solo full moon hikes to the top of "my mountain" behind my home. Its one of my favourite times and ways to harness moon majick... *bliss* and a large buffalo hide drum which I unabashedly beat and chant to in the canyon behind my home too during full moons, though I live in seclusion along the rio grande in west texas, so I have perhaps one neighbour who is 70 and deaf and probably wouldn't dare intrude to inquire as to what the hell was going on...

5) Something else to say?I have a few spells I could share with you. I hadn't realized until recently that one I cast at the beginning of the year worked amazingly well, it just took half a year to really, impactfully change the mindset of intended "target" but beautifully changed the cancerous and poisonous relationship that had become of my mother and myself and now there is utter peace and love between us & I was worried that we could never be close again.... she had some serious "demons" to work through and I could do nothing to help her "see" but a spell I took extra special care to arrange and perform. She is a flip-flop christian/spiritualist, but still thinks "witches" are bad, but medicine men and women are ok... and I can call myself a shaman (which is a title I feel one must earn, not self proclaim)... but not a witch... so I didn't follow the "Ask for Permission" rule, I just followed my heart and summoned every ounce of understanding, compassion and love and release that I could muster and did what I felt I should, then completely let it go...

I don't have my book of shadows here at work, though, so I will have to offer said spells on another occasion...

But I do have a picture or two of my altar and stick and I would love to share them with you all in love and light and help younger or "greener" people see the beauty in our practices and the love and peace of our spirits & know that they are not alone... I had to do the majority of my early studies in secret, hurting because I had to hide that from my family and loved ones... It was more acceptable that I was bisexual than pagan... something that seemed so natural to me and made my heart so happy was condemned and thereby, so was I... I know that hurt and was always grateful to find groups in Yahoo chat or something in my insomnia induced delerium that would let me converse in the wee hours of the morning with people of like mind and spirit sharing knowledge, sources and ideas with me... I can only hope to offer the same sanctuary to others...

Many Blessings to you All
