Welcome
My name is Dianna and I have been working with the unseen elements of the earth and the spiritual dimension for as long as I can remember, my earliest memory being at 1 year old, when I was taken by my mother to an ice sculpture of Snow White in her coffin within a cave in Portugal... a moment which I immediately recognised as being important and have never forgotten. That Snow White was also the very first film I ever watched at the cinema at the age of 3, left me with no doubt that the story of Snow White was significant to me somehow. It was not until many years later that I realised so much of what I did had a name and an orgin within Shamanic (and other) practices, and that Snow White was a symbolism for the path I was to follow: Death, Rebirth, Eve/Lillith and the Apple, and of course Love, the meaning of 'happily ever after' and the healing of broken hearts.
Consciously, I began to study Magic, Witchcraft and Shamanism (from different traditions) in 1999, finding excitement in knowing that many things I already did naturally, like journeying and communing with my Spirit Guides was 'normal'.
My main teachers have always been my Spirit Guides (different ones at different times), and I have been led to Earth Teachers every now and again to enhance my learning, focus my initiations and nudge me in the right direction, including Ivan MacBeth and Dr Yubraj Sharma. Learning is continuous within any form of spiritual practice, because energy and spirit is not solid - it always changes and transforms... I am always learning something new.
This website has come about because one of my previous sites WitchWays (created on wanadoo-members Sitebuilder in 2003) came to an end recently. Most of what I held on that site is here, plus some other additions, including some of my artwork, photographs, an online journal and a forum. Here you will find elements of how I live in and perceive the world, as well as some things I have learnt along the way. This site exists because I'm a creative person who likes to share her thoughts.
Living shamanically and the power of magic is something that I strongly believe is inherent and very much alive within all of us and whether we choose to take that further into a full blown practice is our choice.
This site is both an expression of who I am, of my choices and a window for you, so that you may catch a glimpse of your own magic realm, just waiting to be rediscovered.
Please Note: It is not my intention to offend anyone in any way. Everything on this site is simply my own personal truth.
Go forth with an open heart and mind.
Enjoy!

Thought for November...
November is the 'witchy month' for me. It's dark and windy, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, the moon always looks bright and mystical or shadowy and mystical.
Samhain leads us nicely into November, and even though the veil between the worlds is said to be the thinnest on All Hallow's Eve, I believe it to be so throughout all of November to some extent or another.
For me, this is a month of reflection, of remembering the dead, of talking to relatives in preparation for Christmas / Yule, it is a month of magick (get practicing again!) and planting promises that will start to grow in the New Year.
Do spells, make wishes and believe in dreams this month, for the stronger and bigger your thoughts and hopes are, the greater the results will be.
Enjoy the MAGICK!
