The Realistic Witch: A History of Romance and a Much Needed Clarification
I love nearly everything that realistic-witch writes.In the sixth grade I had my first crush on a girl. She taller than me, slimmer and athletic with an androgynous name and fondness for running shoes and soccer shorts. She had the most beautiful hair I have ever seen. Silk smooth and straight and so blonde that in the sunlight it glowed white. She…

7 New Moon tonight
Tonight is the new moon, which means it’s time to rest and reflect on what has happened since the last full moon. But set your sights forward, for once the first quarter begins your work must also begin again. New beginnings await you.

31O hai :3: Finding your path and identifying your beliefs.
I love what she wrote about labels. I often find myself struggling with that aspect of my personality, the one that must compartmentalize everything to either a pattern or label. I have difficulty even describing my spirituality, let alone labeling it.I’ve seen people here and elsewhere struggling with finding their own spiritual path and identifying with a belief system.

While I greatly appreciate the acknowledgement that belief systems change and the encouragement of research, I still think that searching for labels is not a helpful practice. I can understand how it might be helpful for some, but creating a word bubble for yourself to describe what you believe can be limiting and confusing.
For example, I call myself a feminist witch. It’s short, succinct and gets the job done. I’m not going to go around saying I’m a non-theistic, agnostic, semi-Dianic spiritualist with a special concentration in physical manifestations of aural energy. There are too many contradictions and redundancies and I can never keep the terms straight. Also, it sounds like a really pretentious job title.
Spirituality is about doing and being what you feel. Adding words to something entirely non-verbal is a sticky situation at best. Trying to encompass an entire independent worldview in a phrase is a task best avoided.

17 The Realistic Witch: The Realistic Witch Etiquette Guide: Part 3 - My Goddess is Not a Sex Kitten
Like a lot of women, I was drawn to pagan spirituality partly because of its acceptance and celebration of femininity and feminine sexuality. The first book I read on witchcraft, The Holy Book of Women’s Mysteries by Zsuzsanna Budapest represents the extreme of this. She describes a spirituality…
