I have been loving using the magic cut and paste tool on the iPhone.

A whole year and some days since I felt something calling for me for the first time, something for which I officially gave up everything I was taught, but so far, I have not regretted my decision even once.
At this time I had been looking forward to meet the calls, my first contacts with wichcraft was through several Wiccan books that I could find around the internet, the basic guides about assembling your altar, witches' rules and the innumerous paths one could trail.
I did not know, at that time, that it was possible to honor the Goddess of Witches, all I've known about Her until then was through Greek adventure books read on high school, but even then I could feel her influence. I remember our teacher instructing us to pick our favorite Greek deity in order to make a presentation about them, needless to say who did I choose.
I chose Her and keep doing so, and it's an honor to think She chose me too.
Looking back, it warms my heart and brings me peace to think Lady Hekate was gifting me with something I've much longed for.
At that time I've just read the book about picking a wood stick to make your wand, it should be the lenght from your elbow until the tip of your middle finger, a gift made under my very measures. I would not have picked the wand so eagerly without that info prior, or would not have kept it for long, but at the right time, she brought it to me, right under a triple trunk tree. I took this photo in order to never forget this blessing.
Three years have passed since this, my beautiful wand is still with me, strong and radiant. Today it called for me, the wood was opaque and sad, I took some of the best paints I own and gave it another life.
Made a vibrant brown color for the wood and two special shades of green to never forget about the moss that came along with the wand, I also painted green the wires that hold still my pretties clear quartz on top, as well as adding different colors to the artificial flowers that tie this whole piece together.
When everything cured, I could feel the happy energy around it, beaming with its own representation of the nature it came from.
This makes me extremely happy and brings me peace, here I'm hoping my beloved tool will stay with me for many years to come.
And so be it! ✨
