Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! The Pagan Serenity Prayer – Printable

I really needed to read this again today as all week thanks mostly to the weather and high, for where I live, temperatures, I have been playing catch up every morning. Sunday’s regular posts will go up on Sunday and the same for Monday and Tuesday’s regular posts. Between brown outs, headaches from it being too hot and humid, getting up later than usual because of not being able to fall asleep, plus Big Dawg’s process server job I just haven’t been doing what I told you I would do as far as regular posts. We are going to be on the road serving papers for at least 6 to 8 hours today and the same for tomorrow. We live where going from one town to the next can take up to an hour or more and in between all we see are miles and miles and miles of corn and soybean fields…the fun of living and working in a rural area. Hopefully Tuesday morning I will have time to do the tomorrow posts for Wednesday 🤞.
Wishing you all a great, magickally fun weekend!
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! iT IS A mURPHY’S laW daY FOR me

UGH… I can’t even type right this morning.
Anywho…I will be getting the regular posts up, but they may not follow the normal sequence of posting because as temperatures soar into triple digits today, I got an email stating that, we will have more rolling brown outs. For those not familiar with what a rolling brown out is let me try to explain. When a lot of extra electricity is being used for say fans and air conditioners the electric company cuts power down in one area and puts it back up only to less it somewhere else. The reason they do this is so the entire City of Ottawa, IL or whatever city or town or village does not overload the power grid and everyone electrical power goes out and stays out until the company can fix transformers and other important stuff.
Yesterday when I came back to finish doing posts it was a yucky time. My computer was going soooo slooow the post was time out meaning I got a message asking if I wanted to wait or reload the page and try again, well words to the effect LOL. After trying to get up just one post for 20 minutes I gave up because I was so dan frustrated that all the post if they went up would be filled with my negative energy and I rather keep you from feeling it. These are times I wish our landlord would have solar power for our home then we’d be off the grid and my computer wouldn’t be finicky.
Well here goes today’s attempts to get posts done. Wish me luck and patience.
Stay safe and cool. Drink extra good for hydration fluids! Check on elder friends, family, and neighbors. If your area has one use a cool station if it is too hot in your home.
Blessings of good health from WOTC to you and yours during this heat wave and always.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! along with a PSA

Thanks to rolling brown outs and allergies I didn’t make it back to my computer yesterday to get today’s posts up. As Big Dawg and I have to go deliver court papers this morning before it gets too hot, I am unsure when today’s posts will be finished. All I know is I plan to do them when I get home.
For those with heat index warning please heed them, drink extra water or sports drinks or even vitamin water to stay hydrated if you have to be outside. Stay away from any kind of tea as it will make you urinate more which can dehydrate you quicker. Also, the sugars, real or artificial, in soda hardly do anything to help your hydration level same with coffee and other caffeinated beverages. This biggest dehydrator in these types of temperatures in alcohol in any form including beer.
I apologize for not getting this PSA up when the southern USA was going through their heat wave earlier this month. From the news up here in the Midwest it sounds like y’all are still in recorded breaking high temperatures. I know places all over our beautiful Mother Earth are suffering this year with above average temps thanks to an El Nino.
Stay cool as possible, drink extra water and/or sports drinks, and check on your neighbors who maybe elderly or have young children to make sure everything is ok and they have enough to drink.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!

The start of another work week for some and the end for others. Enjoy Monday it doesn’t have to live up to the stereotype of a bad day. It can be whatever type of day you want it to be good or bad or indifferent.
Mine is going to be a fantastic day – the Sun is shining; Big Dawg and I only have four people to try to serve legal papers to and then the rest of the day will be ours to spend with our fur kids. Only drawback today is grass and corn pollen are very high where we live so unless I want to be down from my allergies again, I can’t take a very long walk in the woods and definitely cannot work in the yard 😣.
I was down all Saturday afternoon and evening, slept 11 hours, which was a good thing for my fibromyalgia to go out of the super flare I was in from lack of sleep, and felt miserable all day. Found out I was allergic to corn pollen as places we had to drive through miles and miles of corn fields left me with an asthma attack. But now that I know about this, I wear a mask or turn on the Jeep’s air conditioning for a bit as we drive through them. Within about 5 minutes in any direction, we go from home we have corn and soybean fields. Don’t get me wrong I love living in a rural area for all the wildlife and wooded areas I just don’t like the allergies that go with it. For every bad in life I always try to find the good in it also. Our physical life needs to be balanced just as our metaphysical and spiritual life needs to be.
Wishing all of you dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends a wonderful Monday!!
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!

This is me and proud of it!
I came out of the broom closet about 4 decades ago. I don’t just talk the talk of being a witch/pagan I always try to walk the walk.
Sorry for the missing days but living in a rural area it takes longer to fix things. I will get the missing birthday horoscopes up today along with some of today’s daily and tomorrow’s posts. I am also not going to have specific posting times for today like I usually do because I am playing catch up.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!

Even though it does not say it in the picture this is an Irish blessing I heard often from my maternal grandma in English and Gaelic. Granted it came about after Christians decided that witches and pagans were someone to torture and kill but the words in Gaelic do not translate to well so this blessing was as close as it could be.
I would like to add this to it:
May only positive energy and the blessing of the Great Mother and Great Father surround you anywhere you go every day.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!

I feel I was given this website to not only spread truth about witches/pagans to every country on Mother Earth but to also meet so many interesting, supportive people. Thank you for being part of the WOTC Family or a visiting Friend!
Hail and Well Met WOTC Family and Friends!

I will be back to doing all the regular daily posts and something extra tomorrow plus the northern hemisphere tomorrow posts.
My son is now healing at home since late yesterday afternoon. Thank you all for your support and healing energy that made it possible for him to heal quicker!
Greetings Everyone an Update on My Son
“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” —Agatha Christie
I am sorry yesterday’s posts were not done and that today’s there are only a few. I just do not have the energy to do more. I will do Saturday’s regular posts tomorrow. As I have told you before when my stress level is high my fibromyalgia symptoms go off the chart of 1 – 10. So, all I can do is what I feel up to doing and can concentrate on. With what happened to my son it made me take a look at what is most important to me in many areas of my life including all things related to WOTC. I no longer care as much what amount I make monthly from the website so, I will be combining some posts again and taking some out. This is because I know how frustrating it can be to get a bunch of emails from the same place or website every day. I am cutting down the posts to just 6 or 7 a day for 12 to 15 daily. I hope this is good news for you.
My son is doing better this morning. The suction machine on his chest tube has been removed as the doctor says the hole in his lung has closed. In a few hours he will have an x-ray to confirm this. Willam says they will decide what is happening with him after the x-ray. He broke the 4th through 8th rib on his right side lifting a ladder onto a roof while balancing on another ladder for his job. The doctor said the punctured lung probably happened when he collapsed in pain after coming back down the ladder. He felt his ribs break. This has been this mother’s worse nightmare for any of my 5 children or 4 in-law children or 10 grandchildren.
He’s my youngest child so I still see him at times like this as a 6 year old with a cut just under his eye coming into the emergency room on a stretcher because he had to show a girl in his class how to hit the ball off a t-ball stand during gym class. That was the scariest moment in his life up until age 39 when this happened with his ribs and lung.
I thank you all for your continuing support and however you are sending healing to my son. You are helping him to recover more quickly than the medical professionals thought he would!! 🙂🧡🙏🌛🌕🌜🕯
Hail and Well Met WOTC Family and Friends!

I texted with my son this morning but no update on his lung yet. I am 1 1/2 hours away from him and he is still saying he doesn’t want me to come to the hospital yet. So, I am working to keep my mind busy with something besides worrying about him. What I can say for now is I am pretty sure the lung has not collapsed, or he probably would have said more that “pain” when I asked how he was doing. No matter what age our children maybe, how they treat us, or even what they may say to us over the course of their lifetime can keep us from loving them. When I know more, I will share it with you. PLease continue to send him healing in any form!
Hope You Are Having a Magickally Good and Peace Filled Sunday WOTC Family and Friends!

I am so excited today I get to spend this afternoon with 2 of my sons, a daughter-in-law, and my 2 youngest grandsons!
So I will get done as many of the tomorrow posts as I can before I have to shower and get ready. The rest or those I put only on the next day tomorrow.
Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy, and magickal Sunday!
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! What is On Your Mind Today?
“We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”
Henry David Thoreau
New posting will be starting this Sunday, July 9th. I hope you enjoy the extra things I will be adding. There will be 12 posts Monday through Saturday and 13 on Sunday. The extra one on Sunday is the weekly horoscopes.
Good Day WOTC Family and Friends!
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Henry David Thoreau
I am slowly marching to my dream of bring WOTC back to its glory days when Lady Abyss was alive and could help me after turning her life’s work over to me. In many ways with including less posts I feel I am failing her. She would put out between 15 and 30 posts a day where as from the feed back from the surveys last month I am only doing a third of that. So, I guess I have a choice to make either put out more posts and possibly lose some follower or stick with what I am doing as the visitors and views keep going downhill. I am leaning more towards a few more posts covering a wider range of topics daily. If you feel I am blowing up you inbox I apologize but partly for my small income from WOTC which I will be getting paid every 3 months for the time I put in everyday instead of every 2 months and hopefully bring you more content that you can use or find interesting I will be going with a few more posts starting this Sunday. No, it will not go all the way up to 30 posts a day but probably around 12 or 13 instead of only 8. I know I will never be rich writing this blog but I would like to get a little more each month to go back to being paid at least a little every other month.
For anyone who decides to leave because of more emails from WOTC I wish you well on your journey and thank you for your support. For all of you who stay I thank you for sticking with us and for your support.
Good Day, Hail and Well Met and Merry Meet to All Who Gather Here This Day!

Interesting question put to me by one of my students, “Do you just talk the talk or do you really walk the walk of a pagan and witch?”
So, I pose the same question to you.
To me walking the walk means being out of the broom closet to help other witches and pagans to do the same. We do not have to be ashamed or feel the need to hide your spiritual path. The more of us who stand up for our beliefs that more the world around us will accept witches and pagans. I am not saying to come out of the broom closet if it would have a major negative impact on your life. I am saying if you can step out of the musky broom closet do so proudly and with your head held high!

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends! What is On Your Mind Today?

Always remember the Law of Three – whatever you send out will come back to you three times over whether it is white or gray or black magick
Hello Our WOnderful WOTC Family and Friends! What is On Your Mind Today?

We have this in abundance in our home. I feel very lucky and blessed to have a man that loves me unconditionally and fur kids that do to! I feel the same about all of them.
What is your take on this quote?
This morning I did something hard, I opened the metal box my former familiar’s ashes came in, in 2007 to remove the last of his hair to be put into a clear container. I had just done the same with Dreamer’s hair and nail clippings so I am a little melancholy as I type this. My Boots was gotten as a family dog in August 1992 but it was apparent from the first day I met him he and I had a special bond. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2007 after having multiple grand and petti mal seizures over a six hour period. Was the decision super hard to assist him into eternal sleep? Hell, yes it was. At the time I was going to school to earn my veterinary assistant certification and as luck or a deity had decided I had just finished the lessons about seizures, so at least I knew what was happening and could make sure he was safe while in one. They started about 5:00 AM and did not stop until his assisted crossing of the bridge was done.
As the human who is in charge of keeping a furry family member fed, plenty of water, going out for bathroom breaks and exercise or keeping a litter box clean it can be a very hard task when it comes time to decide if our furry family members quality of life has gone down hill enough, not as the furry’s mom or dad but looking at it from a clinical distances (I know easier said than done), to assist them into their eternal sleep or not. I had to stand back and look at things through the eyes and brain of an animal medical person and tuck my breaking heart away for a little while to make a decision that was best for them. Yes, with Boots I could have spent a lot of money with a vet specialist and anti-seizure medications but after the third grand mal seizure, there were I think 6 or 8 total, his hearing had gone and he had trouble trying to get up from the floor onto his favorite blanket. He was whimpering as he had always went outside to relive himself that’s what he wanted. So, I picked him up and carried him outside than to my astonishment he got up walked to his favorite bush in the yard and did his things. Immediately afterwards he collapsed on the ground in another grand mal. Now in between the grand mal seizures he was having petit mal ones too. How many? I have no idea as I lost count after about 20. He was about 14 1/2 years old at the time of his crossing, he had come to live with myself, my mom, and children when he was 5 1/2 weeks old.
Boots was loved, well cared for, and played with all his physical life just as Dreamer was. Now I know they are together playing with Dreamer’s mom Gyspy and Dreamer’s pups that went before her. They both come often to visit. I feel Boots talked Dreamer into visiting us so soon after she crossed knowing how much his visits have helped me over the years since his crossing.
The main reason for this post is while we may not want to give up a furry family member when they are old and in pain or even young but injured badly we have to take what they need to be comfortable and have a good quality of life. If the way they have lived their life has been really compromised we need to do the right thing for them and let them go to cross to the other side of the veil. If you tell them or better yet ask them to come visit you after they have crossed the bridge I know for a fact that 9 out of 10 times they will do just that! Humans who have crossed come it they feel like it, if they don’t try another day.

Good Day WOTC Family and Friends What is On Your Mind Today

Today our Dreamer has been gone physically from us for a week. Yes, today is a hard one again. I know with time it does not get easier with time it just gets different. Dreamer paid a visit to Big Dawg last Saturday and has been hanging out mostly with our three other fur kids which I know has made her crossing easier on them. We picked her ashes up this past Monday and kept it in the car with us as we worked that day. I had one very short visit in the car Monday when we stopped at a McDonald’s for burgers and fries while out delivering important paperwork to individuals, Big Dawg has been a process server for over a month now and I help keep him and all the paperwork organized. We only had the front two windows down a tiny bit, I was getting ready to put some fries in my mouth when I felt someone breathe on my neck. It could have been my familiar before Cleo and Star, but Boots never really liked McDonald’s french fries whereas Dreamer loved them. I called her by name, put a fry on my shoulder and felt her sniffing it. While humans or animals do not eat food as the living do, I thoroughly believe they can take in the smell and essence of it. When I set the fry on my shoulder Big Dawg asked me, “What in the hell are you doing?” I hadn’t told him Dreamer was in the car with us yet as I was being selfish as it was my first interaction with her since she crossed. When I told him we both had to try to hold back tears. I would be harder to bear this lose if we didn’t have each other, meaning the humans and fur kids.
This is one of the times in my life that being a strong empath is a curse rather than a blessing. I am able to pick up any kind of mammal’s feelings so with all of us trying to get use to a new normal of three live fur kids and one spirit fur kid it has been rough on me as I was picking up everyone in the house emotions. Tuesday morning, I finally had enough of feeling everyone else’s emotions and strength the wards and shield I keep around myself so I can leave my home. This is part of the reason why I took yesterday completely off. The other part was the horrible air quality where we live today and this past week, while it was definitely better here than many other parts of Illinois and the northeastern USA it was still bad for both of us as we have asthma. At least the sir is starting to clear some here!
So, this is how things are going for me today.
