The Witch of Talog

March 1, 2009

Hi,

Here in Wales we have a tradition of calling people by their role and location rather than their name, hence I acquired the title of Talogwitch, the wise woman or seer of Talog. Even in the Dark Ages and 'Burning Times' no witches in Walse were ever put to the flame for it is inherent within Celtic tradition to accept and appreciate the wisdom of independant and individual crones.  The concept of a witch being evil has only existed since Papal  indoctrination decided that female wisdom challenged its authority, and thus the Anglo Saxon word became devalued from meaning 'woman with her wits about her'.

Any practitioner of the Craft is as good or as bad as the person themselves, and just to reassure you, I work for the light, my calling is to heal and enlighten.  My aim is to teach the almost forgotten ancient skills of the 'Old  Religion' and thus re-empower women, returning the feminine to its proper status.  Theis is not a battle of the genders, nor is it a battle of the religions , it is a return ito inner spirtituality and ecological compatablility that will engender harmony and heal this ailing planet and help the struggling peoples of this world.

As a healer I work using Mother Nature and heal with the help of the one of oldest holistic methods known to humanity, healing lithics, nowadays aptly called Crystal healing.

 As a writer I am awaiting publicaion of my book;

 
‘Amazon Awaken'
by  Allison Beldon-Smith

‘Amazon Awaken’ is a female self help manual that instructs women how to empower themselves; in short it is a book of sisterly solidarity. It speaks to all who have heard the distant battle bugle echoing across the land, and wish to heed the Goddess call to arms. The time has come for the women of the 21 century to acknowledge their worth and claim back their inheritance; for too long we have silently followed three paces behind like lesser beings, owned and bound by duty not love, forced to obey, bewildered, belittled and brainwashed. After over two and a half millennium of constant and relentless misogyny and cultural manipulation women have been left understandably disorientated, confused and hesitant, however the tide is turning. Many have shied away from the hurtful indoctrination of modern religions, unwilling to allow faith to be used to fuel and perpetuate hatred. They have witnessed the hypocrisy and futility of blind faith and instead chosen to seek enlightenment through personal spiritual awareness.  
 
 
Though predominantly pagan this book does not preclude any of the world’s ‘daughters of Eve’, for we are one great and ancient sisterhood in the divine feminine, that modern religions cannot separated or divide; we are united by blood , and like the tides we are ruled by the moon. The reappraisal of life values, and re-evaluation of time both explained and taught within this book, through ritual and meditation, precipitate an understanding and appreciation of natural time and Mother Earth. It is from this harmony with creation and the total knowing of self that the power of self healing is generated, then and only then can we begin to heal others and indeed to heal this ailing planet.
 
The format adopted within the book is simplicity itself; a lifetime is parodied to one single day’s passage of the sun through the sky; there is preparation as we wit for dawn; then one day from dawn to dusk,  followed by the peaceful reward of  dark blessed night.
