A Jewitch "L'Chayim!"

My "element" is Spirit.

But out of fire, air, water, and earth, I'm air. I'm an Air Elemental!!! As a Jewitch, Fire is North, Air is East (EAST FROM HERE IS ISRAEL), Water is South, and Earth is West. :) This only makes sense because my English last name means "Nature Spirit" in its oldest context... and going back to its origin shows that I am a Witch and Priest by birth. AND sense Air is the East... East of here is ISRAEL! AND AND It is believed that the Divine breathed (AIR) into the first man and woman and they became a LIVING being(s). Air (oxygen) gives Life... MY JEWISH NAME MEANS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does this go on....? XD Also Air Elementals (Air Spirits) work with the weather and the winds, storms etc. And on a simple not as a M'agel (male practitioner of Jewish Magick) one of their main things is to pray and summon the rain. It just all makes so much sense!!! I was also born on Wednesday and Wednesday is in accordance with Mercury therefore the colors are clear and mixed. Which aligns with me being Eclectic and Air!!! WOW this is amazing!!!



My English name connects to Witchy/Pagan Priest heritage... meaning Nature Spirit
My Jewish/Hebrew name connects to my Jewish/Hebrew heritage... meaning LIFE!!!

I may add more to this later... if I have another revelation!!! :)

HA I'm a totally a Jewish Witch!!!




*A person does not have to have the same experience I do, or practice like I do to be a Jewitch. This is just my own experience. Which is a good one I'd say! Can you tell I was a wee bit excited?!* LoL



Shalom, Light and Love, and Blessed Be!

After Temple Special

Yes yes I know... very observant Jews do not eat-out on Shabbat. Well it comes down to this, I either cook equalling work on Shabbat or I buy food... buying won out. Besides it was my birthday meal and the best time to spend with family is on Shabbat! *smiles* Well anyway I'm sitting here at the end of the day eating a spoon full of peanut butter and drinking a little bit of Manischewitz Blackberry Wine which is technically only good for the stomach when you have a stomach ache, but I figured I'd try it otherwise. And of course Manischewitz is kosher for Passover! Now Rosh HaShanah is less than a week and I'm hearing that a Pomegranate Cake might appear on our table. I'm soooooo excited about the Holidays and High Holy Days. But first for my birthday I FINALLY was able to get "God Is A Verb" by Rabbi David A. Cooper! My ima (mother) got it for me. I've already read a good amount of it at this point... I was reading the book a couple years ago from the local library. It is a really excellent source for studying about Kabbalah and the practice of Mystical Judaism which in simple terms, IS Kabbalah. I most certainly recommend the book! I'm nearly finished with "Magickal Judaism" by Jennifer Hunter. It is another EXCELLENT book. It basically shows the Pagan roots of Judaism and how as Jewish Pagans, Jewitches, or Earth Based Jews we can find the masculine AND feminine within Judaism and the "getting in touch" with how the seasons roll with the Holidays and everything. To me the Gods created everything from themselves so therefore a piece of themselves is within every thing. Every living creature has that divine spark.


The Books I'm receiving or have received as gifts for my birthday:

From Lily Rose: "The Goodly Spellbook" and
"Hereditary Witchcraft"

From Ima (Mother): "Zohar *Annotated & Explained*" and
"God Is A Verb *Kabbalah*"

From Shulamit Miriam: "Whisper of Stone: Natib Qadish: Modern Canaanite Religion"

I'm soooooo excited!!! :)

Tonight I'm tired... I've been studying the Talmud off and on today... and looking thru my new books...

Shalom & Shavuoah Tov!
