Wicca-licious!

 Spiritually and religiously, I consider myself eclectic.  That is, I don't strictly adhere to just one religion and integrate elements of various spiritual paths.  Yet, one I am especially drawn to is Wicca.  

Wicca is a nature-based spiritual path.  I remember reading years ago that we may be Wiccan if we're in awe of a raindrop and was thinking, "Yes, that's me!"  Wiccans believe that the divine (or whichever other term they may use) is in nature, rather than a separate being above and beyond all of us.  The divine is among us, in the trees, grass, dirt, water, sky, mountains, leaves and so many more elements of nature. 

 In fact, I'm outside on my hammock now writing this blog entry.  Two large trees hold up the hammock.  This is my favorite place to be and I often spend hours out here, or sometimes elsewhere in nature.  While some people may find this boring and get restless, I love it. 

Wicca also appeals to me because it's non-dogmatic and doesn't claim to be the sole truth or slam other religious paths.  In fact, the Wiccan path is accepting of different spiritual paths and doesn't evangelize or claim to be for everybody.  Wicca is also a peaceful spiritual path.  After all, who have Wiccans bombed or attacked.  

Is this the first you learned of Wicca?  Or, do you think of Wicca as being about witchcraft?  Or, do you think of Wicca as being Satan-worshipers?  Wicca is actually focused on witchcraft, but not in the sensationalized ways people may assume.  In Wicca, true witches only don't use magic for harmful or bad purposes.  Also, witches in this faith are defined as people who have achieved high levels of wisdom and are strongly in tune with the elements of nature.  Just for fun:  If you're interested in finding out what type of a which you are, there are quizzes online.  Here's a link to one:  https://blessedbemagick.com/pages/quiz-what-type-of-witch-are-you

Any claim that Wiccans are Satan worshippers is a myth.  In fact, Wiccans don't believe in Satan.  How can we worship a being we don't believe in.  The existence of Satan is more of a Christian belief.

Consistent with the centrality of nature, Wiccan rituals center around the elements of nature:  specifically land, air, water, and fire.  These are the elements we need to live and sustain life.  We can practice Wicca individually or in groups.  Wiccan group rituals often take place outdoors and with people forming a circle.

Wiccan is also focused on magic, but not in the ways people may assume.  In Wicca, magic is more about nature than the supernatural.  Watching the sunrise or set can be magical from a Wiccan perspective.  

Until next time;  Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.

Body Positivity, Body Shaming, Porn, and Camming

 If you read my blog entry on how I got into porn, you may remember me hinting about writing an entry on body positivity and body shaming in the industry.  Drum roll please because here it is.  Though this is a serious issue, I will also use humor so feel welcome to laugh (as long as you're laughing with me and not at me lol). When I started camming in 2002, I was kind of heavy by modeling standards and still am curvy and thick.  While I received many positive comments, one thing I remember was how multiple people came into my chatroom to tell me I'm fat or my tits sag (as if I didn't already know that and needed these b******** to enlighten me?  LMAO.)  Though I realize we show our bodies for a living, such behavior is really unnecessary.  If somebody's not your type, then you can leave their chatroom.  No need to be rude or disrespectful.  But then again, some people get off on degradation so maybe they really were into me and jacking off w...

Porn "Casting Couch" and Health Risks

In the U.S., porn centered around a community of performers within what's been called the circle. That is, performers who voluntarily agree to be tested for STDs/STIs such as HIV regularly.  At the time I worked, this was every 30 days and is now every 14 days.  They agree to refrain from risky sex acts  outside of work so they don't put their fellow performers at risk.  This doesn't guarantee safety because there is no such guarantee, but is a precaution. When people who've been with folks from outside of the circle enter the porn industry such as escorts or other types of sex workers, some performers expressed concerns.  I cannot speak for everybody, but to me a bigger health and safety concern was the "casting couch" from within the industry.   The circle was based largely on an honor system, in which performers voluntarily agreed to abstain from certain risky behaviors.  Even if performers were abiding by the agreement, they may still be with ...

Being an Ethical Live Cam Model

I strive for the best in all I do, including cam modeling.  This means being an ethical live cam model.  In cam modeling, ethics include: 1. Be honest about what we do and don't do in private shows.  Though many cam models are honest in this sense, some may wonder if they can increase their business just by saying they'll do something and then once the customer is in private, don't do it or try to redirect them.  If the customer demands something we didn't say we'll do ahead of time, that's understandable to not do it or try to redirct them.  However, saying we'll do something we won't is detrimental to our success, as well as to paying customers and other cam models. As experienced cam models know, it's important to build up a repeat clientele, which won't happen by scamming customers.  Furthermore, customers can leave reviews, and negative reviews or saying that a model is dishonest or deceptive won't help their business. Such experiences c...
