Get To Know Me!

Greetings Everyone!

A few weeks ago, a nice lady that I know did a Psychic Reading for me. It was a great reading and very profound. I learnd a lot from it. One of the things tha she said to me was that she knew me, but didn’t really KNOW me, and what I did. As we were speaking about career choices, I got to thinking about that, and wondered how many other people out there knew of me, but really didn’t KNOW me, and what I was all about. So, this is an attempt to “come clean” with you all, and expose who I really am.

So, I guess I will start with the common stuff first. I am 59 yers old, and married to Samantha. and live in New Straitsville, Ohio, which is about 60 miles South East of Columbus, Ohio. I am origionally from the Youngstown, Ohio area. We don’t have any children, but have a very nice Main Coon Cat, named Xena. She’s a JOY! We wanted to live out in the country, and although our 14 room house in within the town limits, we are pretty much in Wayne National Forest. The 24 room house is a “Fixer Upper”, forever, but a lovely 1880’s Bed & Breakfast style, looking house. It’s really beautiful living out here. There is so much Nature all around us. Birds, animals, and greenery abounds! We have lived here for almost 20 years and love it.

I am currently employed by an industrial cleaning company, about 42 miles from where I live, and it is their corporate office that I am Groundkeepr of. I take care of the grass cutting, and landscaping of all sorts. I love the work, but have many issues with the corporate attitude of the people there. They drive me nut’s!

Now, most people don’t know that I am a Witch. Actually a Wicca High Priest.It took me over 14 years to get to that point, and I still am learning. I have always been a Witch and know that ,in a past life, I was one. Although I came into this life as a Witch, I have traveled the Path, in this life, for over 30 years now, with some serious study, Self examination and empowerment, and introspection along the way.I struggle to be authentic in this, and not be too swept up in ‘mundane” concerns. We cal our coven “One Spirit” of the Temple of Wicca. Samantha is my High Priestess and Elder.

As I was finishing up my Wicca studies, a funny thing happened. I was introduced to Shamanism. Not through books, although that came later, but through Nature itself. Animals and Birds like Snake, Cat, Crow and Hawk, started showing up in the physical, to me. And I heard their messages, telling me to follow. I did, and began studying all the various forms of Shamanism. From Native American to Chinese,to Toltec, to Back Yard Shamanism. I am really a Back Yard Shaman, as I work in the surrounding area,Use the tools nature provides, and a 14 ft. Circle in my back yard.

So, now I call myself a “Shaman Witch”.

Also, I have studied at the University of Metaphysical Sciences, and am currently working on my Master’s Degree. I’ve been at this Too long(Procrastination again…), but have learn a great deal, and am now exploring avanues to teach what I have learned and experienced.

I enjoy working on my career as a Licensed Minister (Wicca/Ohio), Spiritual Counselor, Tarot Card Reader, Scryer (Crystal Gazing and MORE) , Metaphysical Speaker/Teacher, Energy Worker/Healer, and Artist of Walking Sticks and Wands and Medallions and Amulets, and More.

Like most people, I struggle with procrastination and ego issues.I live too much in my head, and not my heart sometimes. I get angry sometimes, and it’s my own worst enemy. Through things like meditation, I have learned to calm down quite a bit over the years. I am Bisexual, but really don’t enjoy the company of men very much. Most that I have met act very immature for my taste. I enjoy women far better and have a better repore with them. I think the bisexuality was a “phase” in needed to go through, in order for me to balance out my personal Masculine/Feminine energies. And, I use that in my Spiritual Counseling sessions when needed. I especially am interested in helping women, and their issues, and empowering them to be their strongest self.

I have addictions,but have them Way under control. I used to be a pot smoker and cigetate smoker, but really don’t have the time and inclination for it any more, as I am too busy being authentic, like I mentioned. I figure that in order to be a good Shaman Witch, I didn’t need that kind of negativity within me. I learned that if you are a drug user, you are not on the Path. I want to stay on the Path!!

I am a deep thinker, and am always exploring the many aspects of my Inner Self. I enjoy subjects like Universal Laws (Law of Attraction, Law of Cause and Effect, etc. etc.), Hypnosis, Qi Gong Energy Work, Positive Earth Magick, Meditation, and MUCH MORE. I am also considering and persueing ,Strongly , a writing career, as well.

So, now you all know a bit more about me. I am open to your questions and inquiries, about myself., and am availabel 24/7.

Many Good Blessings,
Rev. Gary C. Herron aka “Sige-Jen I”

Incantation

528548_482413571789383_9633885_n1.jpgIn Wicca , Sorcery and Shamanism, the Incantation is crucial to the Sorcerers Intent. Having, Doing or Being is our natural proclivity. Use It!!!  In working Magick, (the art of causing change to occur in accordance with the Will)  one of the more prevalent tools, the Incantation, is the creating of an effective set of words and gestures to create the proper effect. Let me explain……

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines Incantation, as “a use of verbal charms spoken or sung (Hebrew – Cantor), as a part of a ritual of magic. Also, a written or recited formula of words designed to produce a particular effect.” This is a pretty accurate definition of the subject, but with a few things left out, that are known only to magickal or knowledged people.

When a person wants to create something in their life, they have an emotional involvement or investment in the thing that they wish to see happen. Like a new lover, or an accumilation of more money, or a more prosperous career, or even a new car. The subject is ,of coarse up to the individual. But that individual has feelings about the wish, more than anyone else. That is why Witches are reluctant to work spells and conjurations for another person. They don’t have the interest or desire that the reciever naturally has. Also, there is the subject of Karma involved as well, but that is another issue to be discussed at a later time.

A Spell, by the way, is a spoken word or form of words held to have magic power. It is also a state of enchantment (chant), and a strong compelling influence or attraction. (The Law Of Attraction states, “That which is like unto itself, is drawn” or plainly stated ,”Like Attracts Like”). A Conjuration is to summon to come forth by or as if by Invocation (calling in), or Incantation. The definations are mainly the same, but with slight variations in their intent and meaning, in the case that you may be wondering what the differance was. This is not an affirmation, which are words spoken by rote, over and over, with no physiology or feeling behind them.

So, as I mentioned before, an emotional envolvement in the Incantantation is supremly important to the manifestation of that which is desired. You must be emotionally “Charged”, in order to affect the results that you want. When your heart is passionate for the manifestation, it simply just comes about. Just by the mear thought of what is wanted, is enough to start the ball rolling toward your request. In order to speed up the process, and make it quite realizeable, some added actions and inflections of the voice are required. Such as, when delivering the Incantation, the action of physicality is of utmost importance. Physically, you must gesture with your arms and body movements to empathize the wish. Let’s face it, we reside within a physical body, so body movement is putting the whole of your being into the spell. It simply raises your vibration, more and more. Don’t be afraid to inflect each word or syllable with quick and pronounced jerk and movements of your body. After all, you are all alone within your sacred space (as you should be for any Magikal Workings), so who will see you or know? Really get into the actions. If you have the need to dance, then dance the desire into reality!

Another aspect to consider is vioce inflection. The human voice can be transmitted at a variety of vibrational sound ranges. In the Incantation, it should be just short of shouting, and meaningful in it’s deliverance. An example would be, “I KNOW all is well with me!” or “I AM abundant” or even, ” EVERYTHING Good is NOW HERE for ME!”. You must have the intensity of Spirit and Voice to let the Power’s That Be (God/dess, Creator, Source, “The ALL that Is”), Know you are focused and serious. Don’t be afraid to demand the infinite intelligence work with you to obtain your desires. It is your birthright after all, right?

And finally, the thoughts that you think are super important, too. You must picture or visualize the outcome of your desire. Experience the end product in your minds eye. SEE yourself there. See yourself driving that new car. See you hands on the stering wheel, feel the wind in your hair, smell that new car smell, etc. You must SEE yourself with your new lover and how she/he might appear and act. Be careful not to get too excited , however, as you may distract yourself from the results that you want.

Now, I will give you a short Incantation, as an example of how it should be written to be spoken. There is no set formula as far as wording, as long as it resonates with you and is positive in nature. It can rhyme or not. It can be a physical sign known only by you (I already mentioned Dance), or it can be long or short, but it must be meaningfull to you, and with Focused Intent.

Example ::: “I ask and intend to connect to Source and the energy of my Divine Creator NOW!”

                        “I ask and intend to bring this Source Energy through my physical body and in this physical space!”

                       “I ask and intend to fee the energy of Source fill my entire being NOW!”

                       “I ask and intend the energy of Source restore my well being, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, NOW!”

I hope you enjoyed this article, and you try this formula in your Earth Walk. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or follow this blog for further articles about Magick.

Blessed Be,  Rev, Gary C. Herron  (Sige-Jen I)

White Light Meditation

In order to be a GOOD practicing Witch, or any Metaphysical person, one must learn to meditate effectively. While there are pleanty of books out there concerning Many methods of meditation, I have found that the following works for me the best, and with instant and growing results. Give this method a good solid week, morning and evening, and watch the Magick happen!

1.- Begin by sitting in a comfortable chair, in a place where it is quiet and you won’t be disturbed. Relax and breath deeply, about 6 times, then return your breathing to normal. Breath into your belly, and see each part of your physical body go totally relaxed, beginning with your feet, upwards. Take your time with each body part. Feet, anckles, calves, thighs, genitals, back, butt, stomach, torso, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, and head. Feel the tightness loosen and leave that body area limp and calmly relaxed. When you get to the head area, don’t forget to relax your jaw muscle, and your brow and scalp.  Swallow and Let go.Take an extra moment or two to check everything to make sure that all is calm, relaxed and comfortable.

2.-Now, in your mind, visualize a strong beam of intense white light streaming down around your body from above . Once again, Feel the warmth and glow of the white light as it permiates every part of your being. Know that this is the Source itself shining down around and inside of you. Allow yourself to accept and permit the exchange of pure positive Souce Energy into your being. Relax and enjoy for as long as you wish.

3.- As the beam of white light grows and swirls around you, bring in the added visualization, of a large magnifying glass hovering over your head. You can make the glass as simple or unique as you like, but be sure to make it as real and solid as possible. Allow the magnifying glass to enter the white light above your head and intensify the light beam, like a lazer beam. See and feel it focusing on your spine, and especially on your Red Root Chakra. In your mind, see it grow and whirl, like a spinning vortex. Allow it to become Red to Lazer Red,swirling and growing. When you are ready, raise the lazer light to your Orange Spleen Chakra, and again, see and feel the center glow from Orange to Lazer Orange, expanding upwards. After a time, and when your are sure it is stable, raise the Lazer Light upwards to your Yellow Solar Plexes Chakra. Intensify the light to affect the Yellow to Lazer Yellow light and dancing upwards. Remember to relax. This is the point where, as the energy is building, tension starts to in the body tends to grow. Be aware and reinforce your relaxation.

4.- Once that you have established the Firm and Focused lower 3 Chakras, now proceed upwards to the Green Heart Chakra. See and Feel it grow and expand with lazer light percision. Have the light turn the color from simple light to dark Green to Lazer Green, and ponder the thoughts of Centering and Inner Peace, Abundance,Love and Joy. Give your Self a time to soak up the good feelings that this Chakra provides. Then, move the white light further up you spine to your Blue Throat Chakra, and Feel the Electric Blue dancing light and  lightning all around the body area, knowing that you can project the lightning out from your body at any time to heal yourself and others. See the Throat Chakra turn for Blue to Lazer Electric Blue. Then, raise the light up to the Indigo Brow Chakra. See and Feel the mystery and wonder of the Deep Dark Blue to Dark Purple. Vision an Eye gazing inward and outward at the same time, and a screen appearing in your forehead. Know that you can witness Pychic Visons upon the screen more and more with each white light attunment. Can you “see” anything now? Take your time to make this and all Chakra areas as real as possible.

5.- And , see the white light raise up to your Purple Crown Chakra. See it as a dancing flame ever expanding upwards, to your highest ideal of Creator/Source Energy See the Purple change to Lazer Purple. Enjoy your communion with God/dess and your Spirit Guides who are now taking notice of you, and the Universal Source that is the Real You. Believe that they are with you now and always.

6.- Last, see and feel the chakras “hitting on all cylanders”, trobbing and pulsing like a well oiled Bio-Machine firmly connected to ALL That Is. When you are finished, speak a grateful “Thank-You” to the Powers that are all around you, and invite them to stay with you always. Never turn off the Light, but see it growing day by day.

As each passing day, you will feel and act stronger and more confidet is all your dealings, and you will see and witness many Magickal happenings right before your eyes. Trust me, and Enjoy the ride.

Blessings,

A Case of Synchronicity

I will tell you of an experience that I had about 2 weeks ago, that really opened my heart. While working my regular job as a grounds keepeer, I had the oppertunity to ride “shotgun” in a semi-truck, with my buddy Mike, and  take a load of old wooden pallets to the junk yard for recycling. It was a cold and damp day, and the clouds hung low in the sky.

When we arrived at the junk yard, there was no one around to see over us as we dumped our load. The yard was empty and silent. So, we backed the rig in and proceeded to un-wrap and dump the pallets on the existing pile already accumulated. As we began to loosen and remove the straps holding the load down, my buddy Mike said, “What kind of animal is that?”

I looked over to see what he was talking about, and spotted at first glance, what I thought to be a big rat, not uncommon to junkyards and refuse piles. A second look was in order, and when I did, I saw a muddy and dirty gray cat, jumping around aimlessly, about 30 feet away from me. The wierd thing about the scene was the poor cat had a tin can stuck onto its head!!

I said in surprise, “Check this out!” Mike looked at the cat and looked at me and quietly said” Why don’t you see if you can help him?” So, I broke away from what I was doing with the truck, and tip toed over to the cat, who was now simply standing there with this rediculous can on its head.It was indeed a cat food can. As I approached him, I heard a faint wimper, and I knew he was tired and confused. My heart opened to helping him get out of his predicament.

I gently slung my left arm around the front of him, at the chest area, and took hold of the can with my right hand. He made a muffled “meow”, in protest. I tryed to pull the can off, but it was stuck on tight, and all the way down on his head, almost to the shoulder. I tryed to rock and pull the can off of him, but he protested even more. I didn’t want to hurt him, and I knew that the can lip was cutting into his neck. I had the thought run through my headthat I needed a pair of tin snips, but I had no tools with my what so ever.

Slowly I rocked the can back and forth, and from side to side, and inticed the fur and skin of his neck out of the can. Gradually, I managed to get one ear out, and I knew I was making progress. He wasn’t fighting me, so I also knew he was tired and wore out from his ordeal. I continued to rock the can back and forth slowly, and all of a sudden, POOF, the can was free.

The cat made a wild and wide eyed “Yeooow”! I thought for a moment that he was going to bite me or tear into me with his claws, but he didn’t. Later, when thinking about the incident, i realised that he had been in darkness, and suffocation, that that was why he made the vivid, “Yeooow!” He was just as surprised as me that he could breath and see daylight. As I released him and he started away, I shook my finger at him lovingly and said” Don’t you do that anymore, Dude! You’re going to kill yourself.” He walked a few steps away and like a typical cat, began to lick himself, and eye me. I stood up, and turned and walked away, then turned and waved back at him, twice.

What a wonderful experience that I was there, just at that time, to help and perhaps save the life of this beautiful feline creature. It was a good feeling. I was blessed that day (and perhaps, tested) by the God/dess/Source, to see if my heart was open. I think I passed the test. And later, I was “tested” again. I wanted to shout to the world on Facebook of what I had done, but I suddenly knew that i needed to be Humble about the incident, and pull my Ego back a bit.

In retospect, I wondered how many other cats and “critters” get their heads caught in tin cans and jars, looking for food. I tell everyone to”Smash The Cans”,now and help avoid this from happening again. We humans have a responsability to protect and cherish the animals of this beautiful planet.

Blessed Be,

Lord Sige-Jen I
