Gates Of Magick

I Am Crone

Hey! I’m 60 now! Still female and I still have red hair, (and a bit more white mixed in there. Thank Goddess it’s white and not gray. I hate hair dye! LOL.) green eyes and look like the chubby granny next door. I am a practicing Eclectic Solitary Shadow Witch. I have almost fifty years’ experience in Witchcraft and there’s not a lot I haven’t seen or done. I’ve never practiced with a Coven, I’ve always been solitary by nature. I don’t do harmful magick, but I do practice defensive magick. I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And yes, I do spell Magick with a K. I like it that way!

Anyway, I grew up in Arkansas and South-East Missouri. I moved to Winston Salem, NC. I share an apartment with my oldest daughter. I lost her when she was a baby because I became very ill after she was born. I was misdiagnosed and an easily treated illness was declared a mental disease. I was deemed an unfit mother. After over thirty years of searching I finally found my baby girl and now we’re making up for all that lost time.

My favorite things to do are  reading ( Horror, Sci-fi & Fantasy, and How-to books.) and writing. I am currently working on a semi-autobiographical novel entitled “Grampaw, I Hate You,” and a Fantasy  novel, “Falling Into Fire.”

We have a dog named Duck, Minx, our mischievous gray tabby cat and a bunnie, Marbles. Bubbles, our other rabbit disappeared from the back porch some months back. Who ever took him had better treat him right. Bouncing Karma spells work! Recently our family has added to its numbers. We now have Pitch, a black Chow mix puppy and Minx has four tiny babies hidden in my closet.

I love blogging. In fact, I love it so much, I’ve started a second Blog. It’s going to be mostly poetry. I’ll gather all the poems I’ve posted here and put them on my new blog so they will all be in one place. And of course there will be lots of new poems too. My new blog is  The Darkest Places   if you want to check it out.
