Today I have to go to the Police station and file a child abuse case against my Ex-husband...
It was his weekend with her and my little girl came home with a huge bald and bruised spot on her head......He was trying to blame me but I know that it happened while she was under his supervision....
I am beyond angry,how dare he hurt my baby????????
I am so sick and tired of the courtsystem and no one really doing anything about this.....
This is not the first time that he put his hands on her and I know it won't be the last.....Gods help me I want to skin the Bastard.....
Issues of a Wiccan mother vs. Baptist father
Blessed be the children of the Goddess!!
This Sunday (26th day of October) our children will get Wiccaned in our circle. This means so much to me and our families.
My 4 year old Thalia is very excited about it even though that we are very afraid. Thalia's father(my ex-husband) and I are going through a very nasty custody battle and he has kidnapped her 3 times so far. He has kidnapped her on her Birthday because he knew that the Theme for her party was Pre-Halloween,she wanted everyone to be dressed as Zombies and Witches (which I thought was very cute!). He knew this and did not want it to happen so therefore he decided to run with her and the DA's office had to retrieve her.So now I am frightful that he will do so again...He did forbid her from carving a Pumpkin because his preacher told him quote" That the origin of carved Pumpkins came from Witches picking the fattest children of the village and burning them. Out of the fats from the burned children they made candles and put them into the carved Pumpkins".
He tells our daughter that all Hollows eve,Samhain,Halloween is all doing of the devil. He tells her that all Witches will burn in hell for all eternity. When I picked up my daughter last week she looked at me with horror and tears in her little brown deer eyes and said:" Mama will you forever be on fire?"I said:" why would you ask me this?" (I had a very good idea why). She continued ,sighing,:"My daddy said that you will go to hell because you are evil and you are making God and Baby Jesus very mad".
Aside the fact that I just felt the anger growing and that I about had enough (my religion is not the only thing he is picking at) I had to stay calm and went down to my knees to her eye level. I took her little face between my hands and asked her:" Do you think Mama will go to hell? If you do Baby,you do not need to worry,Mama will not go to hell because there is no hell. "Trying to free a 4 year old from all the horror and fright that her father has hammered in her head is not an easy task.
My daughter enjoys our gatherings so much.She loves dancing with us in the circle and sing. She loves the fact that she is part of everything we do,she assists me with lighting the incense and when it is time to go and see her daddy she cries.... She did so again the last time I had to turn her over to her father for his parenting time.She said Mama "I don't want to go,I want to stay with you forever!" I was tearing up but did not show it. I looked at her and said" Baby, do you remember your lullaby?"
She sobbed and said "yes Mama I do". As I wiped her tears I said that whenever you are sad and you miss Mama just sing the song and time will fly and before you know it you will be back with Mama,your baby brother and Brian.(The lullaby I am speaking of is the Wiccan Lullaby).
It is a shame to scare a child out of vengeance and hate.....
He is taking her to church (baptist) and make her believe that Mama is a Witch and that it is evil. Mama will burn in hell. I will not ever understand how anyone could do this to a child, especially their own child......
I have been praying like a mad woman for this to stop. Will ignorance ever stop?
Why is it that so many people speak so ignorant and bad of our religion?
I was born and raised in Frankfurt/Germany. I come from a family of Witches (some of my family members were victims of the holy inquisition). My mother however turned to the catholic church (how contradicting) but left me room to gain my own faith.
When I was 14 I decided that Wicca is the best path for me and how right I was.....Living in Germany and openly be a witch never gave me any problems. Of course some people did ask me about the religion and all the myths that come with it but at least they did not ignorantly judge me.
I see more and more each day how many things are excused by religion. How many actions no matter how cruel are carried out all in god's name.
Why can we not all share this beautiful earth and accept one another's beliefs and opinions?
We were given such a great hunger for knowledge and understanding why don't we use it as human beings?
How come people have such an interest in bashing fellow human beings faith?
There are so many things that I cannot nor will I ever understand.
I do so hope for a better world for my children to grow up in.
All of our children deserve love and peace. All of our children deserve to be what they want to be.
If my children decide (when they are at that age) that Wicca is not their path then so be it. There is just no way I would force anything upon them especially not out of revenge.............
Maybe one day things are the way they should be: In Peace.....
Next week We have to go back to mediation.....Another hour of him telling me in front of a mediator that I do the devil's work and I am a danger to his daughter.......
What is so concerning about this is that they saw the penticle around my neck the last time and asked me if I was a Satanist.....
I explained that I am not a Satanist,that I am Wiccan that I don't even believe in the devil and since then it is getting brought up every chance that presents itself.....
I get judged for my beliefs, I have to sit still over and over again and listen to accusations.
Over and over I have to explain myself, I feel like it is the year 1462.
I feel like the next time I go to court that there will be a big pile of wood waiting for me.
It's a shame to get treated this way, in a time and age where we could just accept another how they are and leave them be,in their believes,as long as it harms none....
Blessed Be
For 3 years I fought for my divorce....countless times of going to court....countless times of getting discriminated against....3 times of him kidnapping my precious Thalia....
No more!!!
First thing to fight for was custody and I won....
He kept dancing around the divorce like his life depended on it.I guess that was the only thing he had left to be a major pain in my ass....
But my day came: Friday the 13th,the day before Valentine's day!!!
I was finally able to look the man that I love so much in the eyes and know that now I can truly be his.
I was before but now we can finally plan our Handfasting!
We have went through so much.He stood by my side through every struggle.Went to court with me,held me when i cried so desperatly for my missing child.
Life after divorce has been nothing but a blessing to me,my family has been nothing but a blessing to me......
