Confessions of a Modern Witch: North Carolina

A Witch's View - Fine Art America

October 1, 2017

Earlier this year I made the leap to put my photography out on a public site. I had several requests to put my photography in coffee table books and digital frames so that they could enjoy my work.

I decided to post a few of my photos here and you can head over and check them out in my shop on FAA.

A Witch's View - Cliffs of the Neuse

August 20, 2017

Back when the flooding came in I took some photos and videos around the Cliffs of the Neuse State Park. I looked back over my blog and I neglected to share those. So here are a few photos and videos from that time.

A Witch's View - A Trip to Winston Salem

August 13, 2017

As part of our house hunting we have traveled around a bit to see where we want to live and what areas are in our price range. Recently we took a trip to Winston-Salem. Here are some photos of the place. We had a really good time and even found a Taco place that caters to vegans. How cool is that??

If I can't live in Salem MA maybe I will live in Salem NC. Hrmmmmmmmmm

Macro Spring - A Witch's View

February 19, 2017

Here it is, the middle of February and I have my windows open. I have on a short sleeve shirt and am outside taking photos of my budding plants. The weather certainly has gone a bit haywire from just a few years ago. We're expected to reach 79 degrees today. Unseasonably warm for eastern North Carolina. But, far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth. So I went out side with my new macro lens to test out some close ups with my camera. Here's what I ended up with.

Witchy Wednesday - In the Woods

February 8, 2017

It was a pretty challenging week last week. From the infighting among other Pagans and Witches about the election and immigration to trying to deal with the forced estrangement that my child has put on me to some pretty significant changes at work I feel like my head will explode. When hubby sees me getting to this level of stress he usually comes up with something to break up my day and help me get my mind back into a level place. For me home and family has always been really important. Unfortunately at this time I don't really have anyone in my family of birth that I can confide in. As this election weighs heavy on my heart, I have found that I can't really talk to any of them. It is so sad, and yet pretty typical. Frankly we really didn't share a great deal of closeness before. This election just sort of codified the whole thing. I even thought I would have a closer relationship with one of my siblings after a two years of isolation but yet, that didn't happen either.

Yesterday was a huge fight within the Pagan community which further demonstrated to me that there are just some people out there that no matter what you do, they will always be out to attack. There's nothing you can do about it. The choice is either to make yourself available for that attack or sever those ties and move on. When I get to this point usually I end up needing a release. So today we took a walk around Cliffs of the Neuse State Park. I took some photos and decide to queue them up for this weeks Witchy Wednesday. I hope you enjoy this walk in the woods.
