Ask Aunty Witch
 
"Ask Aunty Witch" is a sort of metaphysical advice column.
 
The concept of "aunty witch" had a rather humourous start.  My former roomate and long time Wiccan friend coined me aunty witch on behalf of her dog one day as I sat minding my own business at the kitchen table.  Bridgit the dog came and sat next to me, wagging her tail and looking intently at my plate.  My friend said (speaking for the dog), "I love you aunty witch... can I have your steak?"   From that day on the nickname just caught on.  So I've taken the idea to a whole new level and decided to start a column and make some practical use of my nick-name.
 
I get a lot of questions about Wicca and many other topics from some of my clients and students. 
 
Are you a parent concerned about your childrens participation in Wicca?  Do you have questions or concerns about something you have experienced?  Are you unsure about a workshop, group or teacher you are considering participating in ritual with?  Do you have questions about right or left hand path magic?  Do you have technical or ethical questions about rituals you might be doing or planning  do?   Nothing is off limits.
 
The only rules are you must be respectful or I will not give you the time of day.  Flamers are not welcome.
 
If you have a question about Wicca, Occultism, Metaphysics in general or anything else feel free to send me an email  at PersephoneRC@aol.com  (please put "ask aunty witch" in the subject heading, and I will post and publish your question along with my answer at my blogspot site.  www.persephonesplace.blogspot.com
 
If you wish for the question to remain anonymous please indicate so, otherwise I will post the name of the querent.  Also if you wish for the discussion to remain private that is an option too and I will not post it if you make a request for confidentiality.
 
If I get enough questions I may consider placing them here in the library archives at some point.
 
 
 
When I recieve your question, I will respond to you with an email informing you that the answer has been posted, and I will provide the URL address to link to in order to read the blog page post.
 
 I look forward to assisting you.
 
Blessed Be

I began learning astrology when I was in high school.   I took my first class from a woman by the name of Geneveive Veirling right here in Nevada City.  After graduating high school I moved to Sonoma County where I met my dear friend and mentor, Ambrose Hollingsworth Redmoon (James Neil Hollingsworth).
 
Ambrose had practiced Astrology for many years of his life.  A former editor of Rolling Stones Magazine, Korean war veteran, an avid Goddess worshiper, scholar, and occultist; Ambrose was very well known by many in San Francisco in the 1960's as an excellent astrologer.   For seven years he took me under wing until he died of bone cancer, teaching me everything he knew as his chosen protege before he died.
 
It was Ambrose who set the stage for my continuing education in Hermetic occultism and the Western Mystery Traditions.  He was also the inspiration for my initiation into The Craft.
 
During my seven year friendship with Ambrose he wrote an article which he submitted to Gnosis Magazine, a very well known Western Mystery Tradition Publication in it's day,(no longer in publication now),  entitled No Peaceful Warrior. 
 
For your enjoyment  I have provided the following link which will lead you to the back issue his article appeared in.  I will reproduce this article and submit it here in the library archives in the very near future.
 
http://www.gnosismagazine.com/issue_contents/contents21.html
 
Ambrose has become somewhat famous for a quote from this article which I was astonished to discover, took off like wildfire.  I have seen his name plastered all over the internet as a result of this quote.  It has been the subject of many commentaries and the source for several curiosities about the man who wrote it.   If I am not mistaken part of this quote may have even made it's way into the movie "The Princess Diaries" as well.
 
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than one's fear. The timid presume it is lack of fear that allows the brave to act when the timid do not. But to take action when one is not afraid is easy. To refrain when afraid is also easy. To take action regardless of fear is brave."

from the article No Peaceful Warriors!
