Excuse Me Is This Thing On?

Well hi there! Remember me? My name is Emma your friendly white witch, ya I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from my witchy butt! I’ve been avoiding my blog because my life has been crazy busy! I’m so sorry if you’ve been needing a Reiki session, wondering when my next Witches Woman Circles are, what essential oils I've been using, and how my yoga practice is going! If you weren’t…well, surprise I’ve been barely doing anything of the sort so you haven’t been missing out! I fell off my spiritual practice wagon and finally feel like I’m jumping back on! Starting with blogging on me blog!

I bet you’ve been feeling the same thing lately as busy summer has wrapped up, fall has come full swing for us all to slow down. This year I’ve had to make a conscious effort to slow down! Which means I get to catch you up on my life, so here we go:

First and foremost I moved back to the city of Vancouver though in a smaller home, and not in the core of downtown. Which I’m super happy about as Gibson’s made me enjoy and appreciate the quieter side of life that I wanted to implement in my new back to city life. Though it doesn’t allow me to have my Reiki Practice at home anymore. So I will be looking for spaces soon. After publishing my first poem book, a crazy move back, going to a beautiful wedding, visited my partner in Toronto, started up Yoga with My Vijnana teacher again, joined Pilates, made time for friends, family and work my full time job as a flight attendant i hope you can see there is reason to why I’ve been away from my witches duties. Though I’m surrendering that everything happens for a reason and everything will happen in good time.

Not gonna lie just me sitting at my new neighborhood JJbean, drinking an almond milk mocha, listening to tunes, typing away on my MacBook is bringing my spirits up like when I first started blogging. Though that can also be the caffeine kicking in that I weeded myself off and now it’s giving me a hell of a buzz! So well on this caffeine high, I’m gonna share with you my dreams for this lil White Witch. Sneak peek time! My ideas that I want to start and would love to hear in the comments which you’d love to see me acting on first!

Ideas/ Magic happening:

- Host Yoga classes on YouTube
- Start a Podcast with my bestie Afrah
- Blogging more
- Finding a spot for my Reiki practice and Witch Circles in Vancouver

So that’s it for now, a small post for bigger and better dreams to come! Can’t wait to start all of this up though just be aware I’m still slowing down and things might seem like they are taking a little while to make into fruition but they are happening! First I’ve got to binge watch some Peaky Blinders on Netflix…I’m hooked!

Excited to be back!

White Witchy What?

Dear lord! I’ve been blogging on my White Witch website for almost over a year now and I’ve never explained what a White Witch is! Well even more so, what a Witch means to me even, and why I claim this title!

To be fair though I don’t think I even knew what it meant to me until someone on my last work flight from Winnipeg to Punta Cana asked me what it is to be a “Witch.” I then had to explain to them what it was, and finally explained myself without questioning what being a Witch is. Well to me anyway! As it can mean different things to different people. Now I’ll also be explaining what being a “White Witch” is in and why I chose to go with it. As it was also brought to my attention that claiming to be a White Witch may make others feel excluded from partaking in the light work that I facilitate. So in hopes to better explain why I went with “White”, as well. This is to not exclude, specifically in this case, based off of color allowing for a better understanding as to the meaning. It is, and never will be a conscious desicion of mine to exclude anyone ever based off of race, gender, class, or sexual orientation. Cause friends that ain’t my jam at all and I love and appreciated every single human being I come across no matter the circumstances. Who am I to judge, without first judging myself right!

Now with all that being said! What’s a Witch? A witch to me is a woman in her power at any stage of her life that allows and embodies magic, healing, and is guided by her intuition. A woman who is strong in herself. Guided by her intuition, dance’s to the own beat of her drum. Has gone through hell and back, looked at her demons right in the eyes and told them fuck you. A woman who understands how to embody The Maiden (innocents, Beginnings), The Mother (Creation energy, Birthing), and The Crone (Inner Wisdom, Endings). Who follows the natural rhythm of mother earth, the ebb and flow of life, and the cycle of the moon and seasons. She is a teacher of the old ways, and points out to others when they have stepped off there path and how to, by their own means, get back on it with nothing but a nudge of guidance or insight. She is a woman who manifest, makes magic, communes with the spirits, and respects that there are forces beyond her or anyone’s control. She is a woman that came from the ones who they weren’t able to burn. The ones who passed on there knowledge in secret. The ones that are sick of the hiding, and are taking back their power, and are no longer afraid of stepping out into the light from the caves, from fear of persecution. I am from a long line of witches that they couldn’t burn. Even as I write this i’m channeling all of this powerful energy from my ancestors before me . This is what being a Witch means to me, as it is all of this and much more.

Now on to the “White” bit! This luckily is a little lighter and simpler to explain though has two parts. Part one was too make clear that I am a witch who practices with light or “white” magic. Unlike those witches who work with “Black Magic”. Now nothing wrong with those who work with the dark arts, but it is a world that I don’t work with and have no interest in as it is not my calling. White magic is healing, love and of course light work. Which is the second part, to being White. Because White = Light! A Light worker is someone who is a healer, a sensitive souls, a natural helper, and are beings with a deep calling to aid not only individuals in raising there vibration but that of the planets as a whole. And that’s it! This is the why and the meaning behind my title as The White Witch. I hope this brings clarity and knowledge as to what makes me a White Witch. I will be changing my Instagram account from @thewhite.witch to @healingwithemmah. Allowing for people who may not know me, question what a witch is, a broader crowd and skeptics to not feel like they have to know a secret witches coven code to understand the beauty of what I do. Opening up to explore the magic and healing work I bring into the world!

For I am The White Witch.

With love n’ light,
Emma

Little Dreamer

Have you ever looked deeper into the meaning of your dreams and found out that maybe those foggy images that might not have made any sense actually was trying to tell you something? Something about yourself that your conscious mind may be trying to hide? Well guess what your dreams are speaking to you, even if it's the most ecentric way you could imagine. I've always been an avid dreamer since I was a kid. To this day I can remember my dreams from early childhood. Anything from flying ballerinas in the sky, elephants lifting me up by their trunks, to nightmares of evil rat head humans kidnapping my parents. The more I dreamed the more I wanted to dive deep into why I dream what I dream, and began realizing that there was so much to uncover! I don't doubt either that if you're reading this that you've dreamnt a dream before that had you staring at your bedroom ceiling wondering what the hell it meant. Maybe you wake up going 'I have to remember this dream', but then soon as you get outta bed you forget about them. Or how about just the pure wondering of what it all means? Well I'm going to share with you my tips tricks on diving deep and uncovering the dreaming world. How to help amp up your dreams, better remember once you've awaken, and certain meanings. So here ya'll go little dreamers my tips and tricks to get you uncovering your unconscious world! All tested out and what works best from yours truly.

Get me Dreaming
1. Selenite, and Amethyst are two of my favorite crystals to use for dream work. I've tried loads of others but find these two work best to get clear and concise messages from your dreams. Selenite will align you to your highest self, while amethyst will give a clear connection to the spiritual realm.
2. Essential oil blend of Clary sage, Chamomile, and Vetiver in your diffuser next to your bed. Have it running next to you as you go to bed. Clary sage known as a third eye essential oil will open your inner eye to allow dreams to flow in, while the chamomile will keep you calm and at ease while sleeping. Lastly Vetiver for its rooting qualities to help you keep centered and protected while you begin to drift off.
3. Setting intentions before you go to bed help centers the mind on where to focus the dream and the messages that you'd like to come through. Examples "Dream guides please show me what I should be working on/towards", "I want to focus on dreaming about how to solve/help/heal (insert problem, question here)" Though heads up sometimes the answers you receive may have deeper answers that might not be ready to be solved and will be explained later when you're more ready mentally, emotionally, or spiritually .

Remembering my dream
1. Drink a glass of water before bed and once you wake up! My Moms nifty trick that's been working ever since she told me a few years back that I love sharing with others. Drinking water before bed allows us to uncover what our unconscious world by amplifying it. Water is all about emotions, cleasning, and helps reboot the memory because you wake up doing the same thing that you intended drinking the water the night prior.
2. Dream journaling is an amazing tool to use for beginners and seasoned dreamers! Especially when trying to pick out the strong symbolism to look up, or to take note of any repetitive dreams. It also lets you put all the small pieces that may not make sense unless looking back and putting it into a big picture.
3. A big ol' Obsidian crystal at the foot of your bed, helps ground your dreams that are floating above your head into a tangible thought. It helps ground you back to earth, while protecting you from any negative energy during your night travels!

What my dream is trying to tell me
1. Look up your meanings great references for dream symbols check out Dreammoods.com, they also just came out with an app too which you can save your symbols and journal on it! There are also a bunch of great dream books out there if you like having a more traditional reference. When looking into symbolism take the things in your dreams that stand out. Break it into parts and then afterwards look at its whole.
2. Lastly find your dream buddy(ies)! Honestly I dream so much and interpret, pick apart, understand them 90% of the time on my own. But every once and awhile I get stuck and have no idea what my dream is trying to tell me. Hence chat it out! Maybe you aren't seeing something because you're to close to the message that is trying to be conveyed. An outsider can see or interrupt with fresh eyes. For instance my main dream buddy had a dream about a pool that had glass walls, but then the glass walls came down and there stood an ice wall. When he explained it to me he didn't think much of it but once I heard it I saw the meaning behind it instantly. Telling him the pool was him diving into his emotions, the walls were becoming clear to see through and as they come down there was just the next layer of emotions that were frozen and needed to be thawed out. Which ended up being accurate to what he was going through at the time. So buddy up!

Now my little dreams drink a glass of water and get to bed! Let your dreams tell you all that you are wanting to know, needing to know, and so much more! Happy dreaming!
