Welcome to my Witch’s Diary

Welcome to SheenaghBrighid’s blog!
This promises to be a wonderful place for me to talk about what is going on in my spiritual life and it couldn’t come at a better time as I am trying to figure out a whole bunch of “what comes next” on this path.

First thing’s first, though… My magickal name is SheenaghBrighid and I’ve been practicing the Craft for about a decade now,  after forty years (to the day!) as a Christian.  It was a spiritual homecoming for me – as it is for so many – when I realised that I was a witch, and that I had taken the “witchy turn” on my journey a long time before I noticed that the signposts had changed.  Three people, over the space of three weeks, asked me, “Are you a witch?” and when the third person asked, I finally replied, “Yes, I guess I am.”  No doubt the Goddess and God are still laughing about that one.  I suppose it’s nice to know that you are, if nothing else, entertaining.

Brighid claimed me not long after that; I still recall how that felt:  as though I was being pulled by my lapels with a very ascerbic “Took you long enough!” ringing in my head and resonating in my heart and soul.  I have been a “Brighid’s Babe” ever since and I don’t mind one bit.  Cerridwen and Oghma also work with me, as I stumble along my path, and I am glad for their help.  It was one of those ironies that come along in life – my education and training was all with the Greek pantheon, but the Celtic deities knew about my Irish blood and claimed me.  As a result,  I have been learning about their pantheon and possibilities and it’s been big fun so far.

So here I am… a ritual writer, spell caster and Tarot reader… travelling along her magickal path and trying to remember to notice the scenery along the way.

Blessed Be!
