Cowgirl as a Philosophy

“Cowgirl is an attitude, really. A pioneer spirit, a special Feminine brand of courage. The cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands. They speak up. They defend the things they hold dear. A cowgirl might be a rancher, or a barrel racer, or a bull rider, or an actress. But she’s just as likely to be a checker at the local grocery store, a waitress, a full-time mother, a banker, an attorney, or a psychic.”

Witch Wizardess Balls

I love the Witch balls that I stock in my store. They are pretty, and have an energy that is unbelievable. Everyone who gets one absolutely loves them. The legend is awfully cool too. for those of you that do not know it, these hand blown glass balls were created in the 1700′s as a protection from witches. they were hung in windows to protect against evil and negativity. this was the time of the witch hunts~a campaign against people with unpopular views. the juicy part of the legend is that witches hung them in their windows as a sign that they were not witches. funny huh?

As I ponder the word witch, according to the dictionary it means female who practices magic; ugly wicked woman; fascinating woman. Really? according to this same dictionary a wizard is: magician; person with outstanding skill in a particular field. WTF I mean interesting! so a woman practising magic is bad, yet a man practising magic is good. well that pretty much sucks a lot doesn’t it!! Especially when those that were hunted and burned, drowned or hung, were healers. they were helping people. because seriously anyone who is trying their hand at the so called black stuff is sure not going to let anyone know about it. I also do not buy into the evil witch myth. in any occupation you have people with bad intentions. magic is energy. that is it. we all use it, we all do it, some of us are more aware than others of it. nothing scary or bad about that is there? goes back to how males in power were freaked out about women so basically tried to use fear to control them.

think of the times you have called someone a witch, or been called one yourself, it was when you were doing something or behaving in a way that someone did not like. was it really any of their business? you were being you and got a negative reaction. lets turn that around and say you were being you therefore being a witch and doing things from your authentic self, no matter what others think/say/ or do is a good great thing to do. wahoo!! lets celebrate being Witches and change the negative connotation. or maybe lets use the word Wizardess since it has a positive energy to it. that sounds fun. Wizardess: magician, a woman who has outstanding skills in all fields; a woman who knows how to use her power and is making the world a better place to be. I love it!! I am now selling Wizardess balls in my store.
