BOOK'EM DANO!

Not giving my age away with my pop culture references huh?

We're one step closer to getting my book printed!! WooHoo YeeHaww! (WOW! I guess those 6 weeks I lived in Ky. as a child had a lasting effect on me!) We applied for my ISBN# today and found out it takes longet than we thought, like 15 days! We we're thinking it was a 24 hr. turn around. Oooops. The printer we were looking at is a 3-4 week turn around. So we were looking at.. wait, counting on fingers again, ya just gotta love fingers....and public school!....anyway the total is.. 5-6 weeks before I could get my grubbby little hands on my book! Bummer!

But Martin being the research hound that he is, I mean really, he must've been a blood hound or something in a past life! The guy doesn't stop until he's turned every rock for info. Maybe he shoulda been a paleontologist instead. Well, it's good to see him put his research chemistry degree to work because he didn't get to use it when living in N. Ireland. He got to use his intellect working at a fish and chip mobile in Strathfoyle, N. Ireland. Which is somewhere by Bumfuck! "Thanks England for the education money well spent! I've put it to good use." And they wonder why the educated leave. You put in 4 yrs. at University to be able to work in a fish and chip mobile. Yea, it's a big mystery why anyone with a brain cell leaves.

But I digress, which I do A LOT in my book, on newstands now! Well, you know that's a lie by now. Anyway he found a printer close by in Tampa! YAY! And not only can they get me my books in 10 days but they are also CHEAPER!! How cool is that?? A. VERY FREAKIN COOL!!

Gotta go and light up the ole cauldron for the New Moon now.

Happy Manifesting!

Blessed Be!

NEEEEEWW MOOON

Sung like the song blue moon but I don't know how to write it to sound that way.

That's right! It's the new moon and time to whip out them cauldrons & wands and don our hats. It's manifesting time baby! Ask the Goddess for your hearts desire and RELEASE IT! Now the moon will start to wax & the energy is for bringing in. I say if you want to release anything negative this is a good time as well. There are different thoughts on it so what ever you feel. I love the full moon for manifesting the best because it is so full of the The Mother/Goddess energy, it is ripe for the asking. Not to mention how breath taking the full moon is. I was ALWAYS drawn to the moon and didn't know why. If I missed enjoying the full moon I felt bad like I missed church or something (not that I ever missed church when I didn't go but ya know, the way you're suppose to feel) and now I know why! So much of my past makes so much sense now that I have found & embraced my true religion. It's the first religion that has ever made sense to me.

I was raised Catholic, then I had some neurotic southern Baptist thrown in for good measure. Scene: an 11 yr. old Catholic girl from New Joisey moved to the mountains of Ky. & thrown into a true S. Baptist church. A girl who is use to nodding off in church as they tend to say the same damn thing every week is now thrown in church where they scream something different every week but the message is the same and it's not nice stuff either! Screaming how much of a sinner we are & not worthy of God's love. Talk about scared??? Hell yea. I yearned for the hum drum style of the Catholic church again & my nap time there.

Talk about never feeling good enough to be loved by God!! Even as a kid I didn't buy it. If you're not saved you're going to hell, if you don't save others at carnivals and walk-athons by handing out these leaflets you're going to hell, if you breathe wrong, you're going to hell! I remember thinking God can't hate me this much! I'd ask God, "We're good God right?" I always got a yes. As a kid I knew that God was ALL about the LOVE! Not if you do this or you don't do that you're going to hell. Hey, I don't think ANY religion has all the answers. I believe what ever brings you peace in your heart & not fear is the right religion for you. And I'm talking REAL peace where you don't go around judging others that don't believe what you do. So please don't ram your religion down my throat and I won't have to ram my wand down yours! *evil grin* And end scene.

Now I'm working on remembering all this cool info I know I have from past lives as a Witch. It resonates so much with me & that's where I found my peace. I hope you found yours.

Blessed Be!

DIVA THUNDER DOWN UNDER!

Howdy Doody folks! And when I say folks, I mean just me. I am surprised how much fun I'm actually having using this blog. I know I'm pretty much talking to myself most of the time, but since I am a legend in my own mind, that's cool!

I had the biggest surprise this a.m. when I went to the Angel announcement board I go to, you know, the one I was spending to much time on? And there was a post about a "Diva Show Down Under" I thought "Cool! This sounds interesting. I wonder what they are doing down under." Then I find out it's a post for me!! They want to bring me and my show down under! I'm really thinking my legend status is growing! I have a couple of people on board with me now! I have the power! And I'm not even making them wear Nikes, drink kool-aid, or have funky coifs while we wait for the mother ship or comet to come down to take us. I mean, I'm not crazy or anything.... We don't have to do all that while we wait. *evil grin*

So I will keep things posted here as they come about.

I was going to post a story about when I decided to end my comedy career before it really got started. After a year and a half of open mics, does not a comedy career make & I was done. I had 6 weeks at the Fogartyville Horror cafe, where they had an open mic every Thurs. It was pretty much for folk singers. They tolerated us comedians. And by tolerate I mean they let us in the place. One guy was there every week and bless his heart, it didn't matter that no one laughed & just looked at him oddly. He didn't care, he was there to work on his craft.

I saw him at an open mic at a comedy club one night and thought, "What the?.. Who the?..He can't be serious! This guy sucks!" And I don't like to say but he did. Then I saw him coming out of an event at the comedy club one other night and it was the "Special Olympics of Comedy" or something to that effect. There were some pretty incredible people there and so friendly and funny. But this guy? Not so much, but at least now I knew where he was coming from. And every week I'd see him at Forgartyville Horror.

Now I know I'm not a mainstream comedian...yet. My stuff will be mainstream one day I tell ya! But I too was there to work on my craft...my other craft. *wink* Standing up there for 10 mins. telling jokes you've written and the only noise in the place is the guy doing dishes in the kitchen?? Oh yea, and the crickets too. Disheartening to say the least! Nothing against crickets or anything but..... not the crowd I was intending to play to.

Six weeks in a row I did it!! Then I just couldn't do it anymore. It was soul destroying. You expect to have off nights but every night is an off night? And I had no real shows in between to keep me going.

So I'm whining my best Diva whine in the car on the way home to Psychic Boy. I'm mean I'm really ranting! I had had it! I mean not to get any laughs?? As a comedian? HELLLO! That's why we do it. Oh and to get the babes too. LOL Anyway P.B. tries to tell me that I'm there to practice & hone in my craft and get this.... he actually tells me...it's not about the laughs!! R U kidding me??? Not about the laughs?? IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FREAKIN LAUGHS YOU MORON!! Is kinda how the conversation went. I don't get paid, so yea, it's kinda about the laughs! I was driving so I couldn't get a good shot at him to smack him.

That is when I decided I was done with my illustrious career as a comedienne. I had a hard enough time keeping my self esteem up without setting it up to get slam dunked down week after week. But I did have one more show to do, I couldn't back out, they sold tickets. People were actually paying to see me! OMG! I better be good! It's my last show! I want to be sent off to obscurity with a bang!

Well, you know how the story ends if you read the previous posts...or at the very least the beginning of this one. So what's the lesson here? The lesson here is.. sometimes in order to hang on you have to let go! Ponder that!

Blessed Be!

ONE STEP CLOSER

We are one step closer to booking a show in Milton Keynes! YAY! Not only does Ranjini and the owner Marilyn of "The Healing Way" think there will be interest, but they think they will have no problem filling one show and possibly another!! Ummm, counting on fingers now, that means they are looking at.... 2 shows!! Fingers are great!

My legend status is starting to make it's way out of my head and into the head of others!! It's starts with one mind at a time and I got 2 already! Ahhhh my legend status is starting to spread like a virus now! Watch out bird flu, mad cow, & any other disease floating out there! Here comes the Diva Deptheria (sorry, no spell check)

Stay Tuned! Ok, apparently it's back to just me staying tuned but I don't care! I'm almost an International Star!!! There's that legend thing again but I have allies now! :^)

Blessed Be!
W.W.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Yup! That's right! The show MUST go on. I'm currently working on booking a show in Merry ole England. It hasn't been that easy. While I am a legend in my own mind, it appears that this is the only place that I am! Go figure! One day others will catch up with me.

Anyhoo, it looks like I might be doing a show in Milton Keynes, England. That's after the Glastonbury and Hove ones fell thru. With Glastonbury I wasn't willing to work for food or free. What's with churches and temples thinking only they have the right to make money to live. Yes, that was rhetorical, hence no question mark. With Hove I'd have to try and promote it myself from here and since my legend status is still only in my mind, I didn't think it was worth the investment quite yet. I'd like to perform infront of more than 3 people.

But now it looks like I have someone who thinks there may be interest in my kind of show in her area. Thank you Ranjini! I still have to invest some money but at least there is a belief that people would be interested. So I'll just hop on my broom and make my way over. I actually have a decked out broom with horn, side mirror, flashing tail light, pine air freshener, & bumper sticker. I bring it in a coffin bass guitar case when I travel. Oh yea, it's a lot of fun going thru security at the airport with that!! LOL But I think I'll leave it home this trip & fly over by plane. We'll be in the UK nearly a month, need the clothes more.

I'll post the details here when they are finalized.

Blessed Be!

GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY

I'm baaaaack! Had a cool moment with my deceased soul mate Uncle Christy tonight who I mentioned earlier. He's been hangin around alot lately. Not because he's Earth bound or anything but because he can. He loves the work we are doing and is helping tremendously.

You can read ALL about my Uncle Christy in my new book on a news stand now. Again, it's not really, but was on a roll and a glass (or 2) of Fat Bastard. Yes, I could say wine but saying Fat Bastard is a hell of a lot more fun! Who names a wine Fat Bastard anyway?? teehee

I was talking with my soul sistah Karen Montano for whom we wrote a song for intitled "What would Karen Montano do if she were here right now" to the tune of "What would Brian Bortano do if he were here right now" from South Park. Yup! Quite the song writers were are. Anyway my point? Well, no point to that but I was talking to her tonight about up coming workshops we have planned in England in May and Laguna Hills in June. (you can read ALL about them at www.anumcara.com)

She was telling me the kind of info we need to teach. Like about the Arch Angels, channeling, automatic writing, how to cross over Earth bound spirits ect. Ya know, the usual normal stuff. Well, normal for us. She went on to explain one earth bound spirit she came across last week while taking out her garbage. Yes, they show up at the oddest places. She found out he was there for someone she was seeing Sat.This was Thursday. This is so normal for us, it's like we're talking about soccer practice. As she was explaining to me how she taught this girl to help this spirit I felt my Uncle very strongly.

I helped him transition when he was dieing. No I didn't up his morphine or anything like that. I'm no Kavorkian...yet. It was the hardest thing I had to do for someone I loved and he was only 45. I didn't think I did anything that special but he showed me tonight that I did. As Karen was explaining how spirits can become Earth bound, I realized Christy was telling me that if I hadn't of flown over to Belfast to be with him and help him to let go, that he wouldn't of crossed as peaceful as he did & might have still been hangin around.

I couldn't help but start to cry as I felt Karen's words become Christy's words and feel his love & gratitude for me. It was a great moment as I felt his presence once again. I miss him so. It was my honor to help you Christy and I love you!

Just wanted to share my wee metaphysical moment with my uncle. You can start to see what my book is about huh? Stories like this one and many many more! On news stands now!! (You know the drill)

Blessed Be!

IDOL ON!

WooHoo American Idol baby!! I am sooooo excited it's back on! Ok, I'm a big geek! But I live vicariously thru these people! And it's on in 40 mins. so that's all the time I have. I'm rooting for Ace! He has "IT!" The IT that makes a star a star. And? How freakin cute is he?? I picked Carrie Underwood from her audition last year and this yr. I pick Ace. Hubba Hubba

Alright, back to why I was forced to do a blog, I SOLD ALL THE BOTTLES OF WIZDOM I HAD!! Now I have to wait for my 10 bottles that are back ordered. And it looks like I may have unwttingly started my own sweat shop, sorry Denise and Mom. I can see things from Kathy Lee Gifford's postion now. *grin* You don't mean for it to happen, it just sorta happens. And one of these days I'll even pay them for thier labor!..I swear!

I am having a special glass or more of wine tonight in honor of my soul mate and cousin Christine in Belfast. Yes, soul mates can be more than a love interest. Her father was one of my soul mates as well. I explain this in my book on news stands now. Ok, it's not, but I was on a roll. It will be soon. I know I sound a bit, well, Alabama/Kentuckyish, saying this, if you get my drift, no offense, but I heard things. It's not like that at all. Anyway...What I am doing having this glass of wine is, 1. because they now carry "our" wine "Fat Bastard" in our local grocery store. Me and Christine use to go to wine tastings when she was here & we found this wonderful "Fat Bastard" wine & had a hard time finding it anywhere else. A sign??

Number 2. reason, she lived with us for 6 months, not working mind you, *wink* just to get away from the bombs and all the "fun" in Belfast N. Ireland, need I say more? Well, she wanted to come back and live but circumstance said different. But now it's been 3 yrs. and when I heard the girl ain't been dating??? R U kiddin me?? C'mon girlie! U need to be here! I was all understanding when you told me you wanted to stay in N. Ireland. I was thinking, "ok, you have to do what is right for you." And how often am I that understanding & selfless?? A. Hardly ever! But now with this info?? I'm puttin my Witchy Woman powers to work!! We're going to need an assistant in the next 6 months and you have first dibs! And the benefit?? You get to go back to Belfast anytime you want!! I know, what kind of benefit is that you might ask but she does have family there she actually loves. A shout out to ma Granny, "Boot ye Granny?" Which roughly translated means "How are you? What's going on?" That's Belfast talk fer ya.

The gloves are off girlie and I'm working my magick sistah! That's the Fat Bastard talking I'm sure, but I don't care! Well, unless you tell me that beyond a shadow of a doubt you want to stay in Gotham City a.k.a Belfast I'm a working my magick. Oh! BTW Your Dad made his presence known to us big time the other night that it even made P.B shake!! Call me!

OK, I'm done for now, I'm going to savor my "one" *wink wink* glass of Fat Bastard chardonnay wine.

Blessed Be!

WIZDOM BABY!!

OMG! Somebody stop me!! I'm blogging and I don't know how to stop!! I was going to hook up with Gilad, really, I was but my son loves watching Cops, he loves seeing people in their disfunction, as do I. It's good quality mother son time. And since he's home schooled we consider Cops his criminal law studies. :^) I know, I see the straw.

Anyway he doesn't get the channel in his room so here I am again. Hey, it keeps me off the show Cops! LOL I have a 1/2 hr. then it's me and Gilad for real.

I'm losing interest in another board I've been on, to many rules and in coming here I realized I just like to babble and don't need anyone to listen. Sad, really, I know. Also I get to make the rules! And being the proper Diva that I am that works for me! So, not so sad, I am the Diva of my own domain!! Ok, it's only me here so I'm back to being sad again. Oh well, don't care. I am self amusing.

But the real reason I started this post is because I wanted to announce that I have sold 2 bottles of my perfume Wizdom already!! I am so excited! I love the stuff and I hope everyone else does too. I know they will. It's magickal stuff. Everything is hand put together. Obviously I didn't make the bottles. But the bags are hand made by my friend Denise Kessler. Bless her heart for offering. I'm sure she's having second thoughts about offering. I am the great Diva! I come up with the ideas and then delegate like any other great ruler! LOL LOL Yes, I know, delusions of grandeur, but it's my domain so I don't care! No one is the boss of me here! *evil echo laugh*

Ok, gotta catch the few moments of mother son time and our crimianl law studies & then it's me and Gilad....FOR REAL!

Blessed Be!

4 DIVAS AND A DUDE!

Merry Meet Again!

I just love that title! Had to start another post for it. It's the title of our show coming up June 17th in Huntington Bch. Ca. at Mermaid's Treasure Chest. I know it's a bit far away but it's never to early to advertise, right? To who?? Well, to me so far. I just like to hear myself babble. Plus it's a great delay tactic for working out. I'm all dressed and ready to get it on with Gilad. Remember him? From the 80's? The Hawiian guy? Ok, maybe he's not Hawiian but he does his stuff on a beach in Hawaii. Man I can really babble on when I'm procrastinating huh? Anyway I have his dvd's to work out with and should get to it but, oh yea, the show.

Anyway, this 4 Divas and a Dude show will be 3 Drumming Divas for a 1/2 hr. and then me and Psychic Boy do our comedy and mediumship 2 hour show. I do an hour of metaphysical comedy and P.B. does an hour of random audience readings. It's been said it's like Comedy Central meets Crossing Over. I can't get in trouble for that because someone else said it was like Comedy Central meets Crossing Over. :^)

If you happen live in or around the Huntington Bch area call Mermaid's Treasure Chest for tickets. I just sounded like that announcer dude on The Price Is Right! I'll send in my app. You gotta go to their site if you want to escape. First get a pina colada, a daquari or some alcoholic tropical drink, unbrella optional, sunglasses, turn up your speakers, get under a light if you can't get under the window or something that remotely seems like sunlight, don on your best bikini or speedo (if you're Canadian) and go to their website & enjoy. This is a great if you live in the frozen tundra. So evenif you have no intentions of going to the show go to their website and snoop around.

Their website is www.mermaidstreasurechest.com and the phone #'s are 714-962-0622 or 1-877-mer-angl Rhiannon and Dirk Berkenhimerschmidt or something close to that (I'm not making that up, go see) own Mermaid's. They are the absolute best! I don't know if I would've continued to do comedy if it weren't for them taking a chance on having me perform in their store.

My first show there was going to be my last ever. I had it with open mics & an audience full of crickets! I was done. It wasn't fun anymore. And isn't comedy suppose to be about the fun?? I think the word comedy gives that one away. That's a whole other story for another post. But I had already booked the show, my very first paying show so I couldn't back out. I was stunned that people were paying $12 to just come and see me!! The pressure to perform! I knew how guys felt at that point! I mean I only had maybe 20 mins. of material. Rhiannon asked me if could do 45-60 mins. SURE! I said, thinking Holy Crap Batman what the hell am I gonna do! I can maybe fake 30 mins. I'm a girl after all ain't I?? I can fake it. But 45-60!!!!!!! OMG! So a scrambling I did do. Not only did I make the 60 mins. no problem, I cheated and had the audience do improv exercises. teehee & I also got a standing ovation!!! It was the beginning of my career NOT the end! So thank you Dirk and Rhiannon! I know I've said it before, but I can't say it enough!

So I only perform in metaphysical venues......and now nursing homes. I'd rather have 25 people that get it than 250 people that don't. Don't get me wrong I love the bigger crowds. Infact, I have actually had a 250 people comedy club crowd get my stuff and it was AWESOME! It rocked to have that people right there with ya! I live to have that again!

OK, I better quit procrastinating and go and git it on with my hunky Hawiian, for all intensive purposes, guy Gilad.

Until next time...

Blessed Be!

Great News!!!

Merry Meet!

Well, for me anyway and this is about me & as my family knows it's all about me! And it's only me reading this so here goes....I GOT MY FIRST BOOK ENDORSEMENT FROM AN AUTHOR & FAMOUS BY ALL ACCOUNTS I SEE !! That's right someone has endorsed my book. I'm still waiting for a few other replies. But I got my first one!!

Who you ask?? Who would endorse some crazy ass Witch?? Another crazy ass Witch of course! Ok maybe she's not but it sounded good. But she's an absolutley beautiful Witch in Australia named Lucy Cavendish. She is a Hay House author of Oracle Tarot. Her website is lucycavendish.com Lucy is also a regular on Hay House radio & she made the cover of "Psychic Directory" in Australia. A gorgeous cover I might add. She said some really nice things about me & I didn't even have to pay her! You'll have to buy the book to find out what she said! But I assure you it was really nice, almost made me cry.

That's what I love about our world. Our world of the metaphysical. You don't have to meet someone to know if you like them and know what they are about. You can read their energy. I love not living in fear of my God/Goddess given gifts. Gifts we were born to use. Gifts that are a part of who we are. After all, we are spirits having a human experience NOT humans having a spiritual experience.

Blessed Be!

Blah Blah Blah

OK, it's been a few days since the last post. OK! It's been probably more than a week. I dunno what to write at this time. But I gotta write something or Psychic Boy will get on my case.

Oh! Here's something. I finally came up with some jokes for a St. Paddy's Day charity event I'm doing at a nursing home. That's right! That's all I can get in this town! But a gig's a gig right? This is what they call paying your dues. I guess being an opening act in a back yard instead of an opening of a comedy club doesn't count or open mics where only the crickets appreciate your material doesn't either. Herumph! (no spell check for that)

I did have to write some new material. I mean, c'mon, I couldn't very well do my "normal" stuff about living in God's waiting room and Psychic Boy not being able to tell 1/2 the time if people are dead or just old! Or can I?? Hmmmm.. Something to think about.... Naaaaa. If I say, "he sees dead people" they might panic!

I may have a gig at the Sarasota Gay and Lesbian Comedy Festival, I'm becoming your well rounded comedienne here, so I'm writing some jokes for that just incase. Funny Witches, like Minute Men need to be ready at a moments notice, but for different reasons. I gotta get a hold of some of my old queen friends and get some more material. Hey a new book title "So These 2 Dead Gay Guys Prance into a Bar...." I better start writing.

Until next time...
Blessed Be!

Woo Hoo!!

I just got my first batch of my signature perfume that I'm getting ready to launch, in today!! I open the bottle and take a whif and.... Ewwwwww what the hell is this??? Smells kinda awful I think, like medicinal very potent. This can't be the stuff I'm wearing now. Great advertising campaign huh? Peter my aroma-alchemist assures me this is the same stuff he made for me for my sample.

Well, when you're working with pure essential oils it takes a bit of time & they are suspended in something or other blah blah blah. Hey! I just want it to smell great! This was a fresh batch. So I shook it up and put some on and lo and behold it smells gorgeous on me!! With essential oils they work in layers. So my perfume smells different on everybody and gets better as the day goes along.

The name of my aromatherapy perfume is called "Wizdom" you can check it out at anumcara It should be available in about 2 weeks. I'm sooooooo excited!! A book and a perfume coming out???!! AWESOME!!

I had Peter put it together because he is the best in my area and he adds more than just the oils, it's the energy behind his work that makes this so special. That's why it's known as "Perfume With a Purpose" Check it out!

Blessed Be!

Merry Meet!

Still waiting for the main computer to get out of hospital! Frustrating to say the least! I have one more story to add to my book. Came up with a funny title for the story so it has to go in. Couldn't pass it up. I mean c'mon, with a title like "Don't scry for me Argentina" how am I suppose to pass that one up! Curious now aren't ya???...Buy the book. *wink*

Next week we take a teleclass on internet marketing your book. So look for me on the best sellers list on Amazon in a few months! Well, that's what they promise anyway.

Can't beleive I finished a book in a month, but with friends like mine? Not so hard when they hound you non stop! Yes, I'm grateful.

Blessed Be!

A Blogging we will go!

Hi everybody

I am a Metaphysical comedienne and a stand up comic. I have finally finished my new book and will be using my blog to let you know of any new developments and any new things that are going on with my writing.

I am so excited to finally have something to say and an outlet to actually say it. WooHoo.

I will be posting excerpts from my book here, so feel free to comment. Any negitive comments and any nasty energy will be dealt with, and the writer turned into a toad. This includes but not limited to any religious Fundies with the mortal handicap of wanting to ram their insecurities down everybody's throat. But bless your hearts all the same.

I welcome anyone with open heart if you come with the same, and I welcome all questions regarding the field of comedy or metaphysics.

Blessings

Witchy Woman
