If I Was Scottish

If I was Scottish I would be thrilled to be a carline.
Caren the carline. It has a jazzy ring, a charismatic sound.
Old? Check. 
Witch? Double check, triple check, quadruple check.

A Wiccan is a fine label if you are from my family
Of well-hidden prophetesses.
I am proud of my secret heritage.
To do no harm.
One with the creatures of the land.

Natural healers and gardeners.
Lovers of life, and animals.
Caren the carline.
It has a snazzy ring.
Let me be Scottish….

Because I already am
In my soul.

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 3/1/2019 5:58:00 AM I love you no matter what nationality you happen to be, Caren. Like you I am a healer / mystic, born and raised in the 60's, when it was not acceptable. Today I don't give a toot. I try and use my gift to help as many as I can along my way to old age. Thank you for your support and your friendship all year round. I'm glad your here on soup. xo Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/1/2019 7:30:00 AM Thank you Pixie. I am a mutt - I would like to claim every single nationality, but I am mostly Pennsylvanian-Dutch, Swedish, English, and Irish.
