Let's see if I can explain this - with apologies to my Wiccan friends!

A "natural" witch is one that is born with his/her abilities more "on the surface" than most - natural psychic abilities, for example. Most wiccans believe that we can all learn to use psychic powers, but that for some it comes without work. My mother had "connections" to certain people in her life, and would know when they were in need. Or she would pick up a phone to call one of them, as the phone rang - and it would be that person. That kind of thing.

Some natural witches have a weird thing with electricity - lightbulbs may blow when they walk by or electrical appliances act strangely when they're around. Some find they can't wear wristwatches because the watch will stop and start abruptly, even run backwards.

They may be great gardeners, or more in tune with animals, etc. It just seems that their connection with nature is a little different than other people's.

I've always wished that these things came more easily to me. My sister, to whom much of this comes easily, would be horrified if I said that I thought it made her a witch! :-) But, to me, that's not a bad thing! Oh well.

I think David would be pleased with the Astrology Chart. I'll get the necessary info together, and order the charts when I can - just wanted to be sure that it wouldn't put too much strain on your back! It's not a rush thing, for sure - and you need to take care of yourself!

Thanks for the additional insight on the AstroTarot Forecasts. That's how I was seeing it - especially his Pisces - but better that it come from you than me, if you know what I mean!

And I'm definitely with you on the comment re: the stethoscope. I just find it sad, but, then, I don't think there's a profession where I wouldn't find lack of character and unethical standards sad. As my Dad always said, "If you want to be a ditch digger, that's honorable - just be the best ditch digger you can be!"

Penny was the cocker spaniel - our other dogs are greyhounds and those are the sighthounds. It's a term that encompasses all of the breeds that are bred to hunt by sight, rather than scent - greyhound, borzoi, saluki, whippet, Irish Wolfhound, Scottish Deerhound, etc. They tend to be FAST dogs, and more often focus on what's happening in the distance than on what's under their noses.

Now a cocker spaniel is a whole different animal - she would focus so much on what was under her nose that she often missed what was 2 feet away! :-) She was a honey, though.

One of the hardest things for me to get used to when she joined our household was the fact that being a bird dog was totally part of her essence. Greyhounds can stand around and watch a flock of pigeons, and really not care at all - unless they're feeling playful, in which case they might try to convince the pigeons to play with them! Penny would see a pigeon in the back yard and go ballistic!

The funniest story had to do with the morning I woke to find 16 turkeys in the back yard - 2 females with their half-grown youngsters. Penny went for several days, never seeing the turkeys, but she'd smell them when she went out - and she wanted one!

The greyhounds happened to go into the yard with me one time (on leashes, luckily) when the turkeys were there, and the older arthritic female wanted to check them out (she was hobbling down a hill after them), while the young, healthy (and large) male wanted to hide behind me!

Well, as I say, this went on for days. Sometimes the greyhounds would see the birds, but they'd always be gone by the time Penny got out there, and she REALLY wanted one of those birds - the smell was driving her nuts! One day, I was in the middle of paperwork, and she asked to go out, so I tied her outside the back door, right next to the window I was sitting by. Next thing I hear is this frightened "woof?" from outside - not her usual bark at all. Over the hill, coming toward her, marched 16 turkeys - and those suckers are BIG! She was terrified! I went out, scolded the turkeys, and brought her inside.

She never asked to go see the turkeys again! (And they left a day or two later, after cleaning up all the excess seed in the yard!)

Can you tell I miss the little rugrat? :-(

Well, goodnight all!

And, Janet, it's so nice to have you back! :-)

Bless your heart, Mary. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It's good to be back...and be pain free! I'll have to get to your post another time. I've been playing catch-up (boy, what happens when you go offline for a few days! LOL), and me and my 2 guys all have a nasty chest cold. Ugh. I'm going to rest up, and respond to your post at a later time, if that's OK with you. (I know you totally understand.)

All,

Here's theMarch 2005 AstroTarot Forecast

Ack! I guess I'd be considered a natural witch, then. <img src="/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Perhaps this is equivalent with the Bible's "gift of prophecy"? Anyone can learn to use their intuitive gifts, but some of us have just been connected to the unseen world from a very young age...? The connection with nature and animals sound a lot like the Nature Child archetype.

I'm pleased to report that my back is 100% back to normal...and pain free! No trouble at all. Take your time...just email me if/when you'd like a chart.

Why do individuals need outside sources to confirm what they're loved ones tell them? LOL! We all do it...us silly humans!

Lack of character and ethics irk me to no end...

Ah! OK! I used to watch the Westminster Dog Show every year on TV. I loved seeing the Borzoi and Salukis! Gorgeous dogs...as well as Greyhounds. We considered getting a Greyhound once, but they really need room to run...

Awww. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> What a cute story, though. Remember that your rugrat isn't really "gone", and that the love is still there. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You hang in there. Loss sure isn't easy, is it? *hugs*
