Profile Information

Are you an Author, Reader, Publisher, Editor, Agent or Other?: As for author-write my own things my way, never published for others, reader of everything I can get my hands on, always looking to futher my spiritual education, one can never be over educated on any subject, editor, I do edit others writings and I am always critical of published works with mis-spelled words, agent-worked with the FBI once, not as an official and other, well I am into whatever keeps my spirituality happy and positive.

Do You Have A Website?: Yes, http://www.themasons.co.za and http://www.woodcrafts.co.za these will change to .coms when we get moved, except the woodcrafts which is being sold with the business. Now a North Carolina site located here: http://info-nc.com

About Me:: I am a positive person most of the time, and when negatives start invading my parameters, I stop them before they can do much damage to my soul. I love life and those around me. I respect others for their beliefs and do not push mine onto them. I try and learn something from everyone that I meet and I try my best not to ever judge anyone for any reason, we all have different lives, beliefs and strong points and weak points, therefore we all must get along with one another regardless of our own beliefs and the things that were forced upon us as a small child.
I am a witch. I do not worship Satan; I am not interested in Satan. Satan was invented by the Christians. Satanism is a form of Christianity.
I am not a Christian. I don't go to church on Sunday. Jesus is NOT my savior.
He was simply a holy man who lived 2,000 years ago.
I am not afraid of going to Hell because I don't believe in Hell any more than I believe in Satan. I believe in reincarnation; that I will come back to this world or another and live out another life. I am not evil. Telling people I am a "good witch" or asking me if I am a good witch implies that there are evil witches. There are evil people in the world and there are people who choose to work with the forces of nature in a way that harms others; those people are NOT witches.
The central law of being a witch is: "if it harms none, do as you will." Please don't ask me about sacrificing cats or desecrating churches. I love my animals! If I DO enter a church, I am not struck by lightning. If a Christian or a Jew or a Buddhist came to a pagan ritual, our gods would not strike them dead either. Isn't that something to think about?
Wearing a pentacle is no different than wearing a cross, crucifix, or Star of David. If you want me to take off the symbol of MY religion (and Wicca is a religion, protected by the same First Amendment rights as other religions) because it's offensive, you need to make everyone of every religion do that. The five points of the star signify the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire & Water, and the fifth point is Spirit; encircled by the Universe. How that can offend anyone boggles my little pagan mind. An image of a tortured, dying man is more offensive, yet thousands of people openly wear crucifixes every day.
Please don't ask me if I'm in a "coven" in that half-horrified, half-fascinated tone of voice. If I want to talk about my coven, I will bring it up. If I am a solitary practitioner, I have no coven to discuss. In any case, our rituals have candles, food, drink, poetry, dancing...yes, there is a knife but it only cuts the air, not anyone's flesh.
I don't drink blood. I am not some kind of vampire. I wear black because it keeps negativity away ! If you want to ask me something related to MY religion, ask me when the next full moon is. Or what a blue moon IS! Ask me about herbs. Crystals, or Healing,.
I don't cast spells on other people and I won't cast a spell on you to make you prettier, thinner, more desirable. I won't cast a spell on your quarry to make him/her love you. Trust me, you don't want that, you don't want the Karma that involves and neither do I! That's a form of manipulation, taking away someone's power, infringing on their free will. Not nice at all.
I also won't cast a binding spell to make someone STOP doing something to you. Spell work is about co-creation. A witch works with universal energy, with the gods, to tilt the engine of probability somewhat. Need money? Don't try to enforce your boss to give you a raise. Simply ask the universe to increase the flow of abundance in your direction. That infringes on NO One’s free will. Giving me a book about the Burning Times is like giving a book on The Holocaust to a Jewish person. It's not funny and is rude!
Don't try to make me ashamed of who I worship and what I am. Please don't try to convert me or "save" me. Don't throw holy water on me. Don't leave little pamphlets on my desk or windshield. I don't need to be saved. Witches are proud of the fact that we don't recruit people to become witches. We simply ARE and those around us see how we think, how we act and our inner peace and only when someone says "how do I become a witch?" do we take them into the fold with us.
I will NEVER leave a religious tract with anyone. I don't have one, unless you count this letter. I am not asking you to convert. I am only asking you to please understand. If you don't want to understand, well then just leave me alone.

Do you have a blog site?: http://www.blogofshadows.net/windspirit

Favorite Books:: Any true life crime, murder mysteries. Any that allows me to educate myself on the wonders and mysteries of our vast and wonderful universe. Non-Fiction novels, some fictional novels, anything witchy, dragons, paranormal activities.

Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace: We have a good one sort of, over here called Bargain Books. They get some pretty good ones occasionally, but not often, but they are pretty expensive no matter what they get.

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to read it and post your comments on some of the book review sites like amazon.com. If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:

Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.

If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Chris
