Thank you for your comment. My Mom's mother was the Ojiibwe, Chippewa being a white man's term. The story goes that my grandmother and her sister both married white men. They were ashamed to be Ojiibwe, they never talked about it.I was also raised Christian, to be honest, I have never met so many liars in my life since I left the church in the early 1990's. I do have some stories that would turn your hair white. Funny thing is, I have never met a Wiccan or a Pagan who ever lied to me about anything.

Later I heard from another Ojiibwe that the reason Indian women married white men was because if they did not, they were raped or killed, or both. So it was there that the shame came from. Most Tribes out here are converted to one form of organized religion or another, in my family I am the only Pagan though I began with Wicca.

I am much like my Grandmother, she knew, and saw things. Had visions. I believe that today we call it Empathy though that isn't my only gift. I remember when I was much younger, my Grandmother would tell me things that I could not understand, sort of beyond anything my mother would even tell me. When she was on her death bed, out of her seven children, I was the only one there she validated, didn't make allot of sense to me then, but it did much later.

Welcome to Witchbook, and blessed be.
