Crystal Ravenwolf

My Story

Greetings! As you already know, my name is Crystal Ravenwolf and I am a Witch, but I am also a mother of 5 beautiful children. Michael 18, Candace 16, Carley 12, and Angel 9. About 6 months ago I aquired my 5th child as I was blessed to have my son's lifetime best friend move in with us. His name is Zach and he is 18 too. I have known this boy since he and my son were in the 2nd grade. He came into our home really needing some TLC and I have been given the gift of watching him come out of his shell and really become a wonderful young man. I am truly blessed by having such wonderful children. My son's work at the local movie theatre and help out with the bills here at home. I am very proud of them. My son Michael is tall and lanky with dark brown eyes you can get lost in and long brown hair. Out of all my children he is probably the most like me. He has a deep love for eighties and nineties rock (my influence ofcourse! lol) and loves to be outside skateboarding or simply communing with Nature. He is very strong on his spiritual path and is the backbone of our family. My son Zach is tall with red hair and is the opposite of Michael in most ways, lol. He is a Redneck at heart and loves country music which drives Michael crazy!lol But despite their differences their friendship is very strong! My daughter Candace is tiny, blonde and the typical cheerleader! lol She is my Diva! She does competitive cheerleading and loves every minute of it. She is truly a free spirit and I love her for that! Carly is the lost piece of my heart that I can only pray that the Goddess will return to me one day. I gave her up to her father when she was only 9 months old as I was too stung out on heroin to take care of her. I have never regreted this decision even though not a day goes by that I don't long for her. But it was the first unselfish thing I've ever done in my life as her father is a good man and could give her a life I never could. Still I dream of the day when she is old enough for me to finally see her. I know I have alot to explain to her and it won't be easy, but it is all that I want in this world. My youngest is my Angel. She was my 'clean' baby and my second chance to be a good mother. She is extremely tiny but tough as nails! lol She is quite the little tomboy who idolizes her older brother and loves to spend time with him outside 'grinding' on her skateboard which I have to admit scares me to death! lol But I try and give her the freedom to be who she is and it has worked because she is simply the best person I have ever met! As for me, I am a free spirit who loves to live, love, and laugh! I too have a great love for eighties bands and I was in Seattle when we were witness to the beautiful birth of the Seattle Sound known to most as 'grunge rock'. I will always miss Kurt Cobain and I still to this day morn the loss of the 'Man with the magickal voice' Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. His dark and chillingly beautiful voice kept me company through many dark times in my life when I was in my twenties and strung out on heroin. I light a candle every year and toss flowers into the ocean on the day of his death which was for me the day that music died! I am an adventurous little thing! This year I plan to go sky diving with my son, cage diving with the beautiful Great Whites off the coast of San Francisco and I'm taking my daughter Candace to a horse ranch in Santa Barbara for her birthday in September which should be fun! I have spent the last ten years being very ill and not knowing from one day to the next if it would be my last or not. So now that I am feeling better I don't want to waiste one day. I am going to live each day as if it really were my last. I also have promised myself to acknowlede each gift I have in my life today. One gift the Goddess has given me is the people in my coven. There are five of us at the moment. Me, Bella, Rain, Little Froggie and Lilly. They are my family and their love and support has seen me through these many life challenges. I spend alot of time out in Nature, for that is where I find my serenity. I also spend alot of time in prayer and meditation and have a close relationship with my guardian wolf Takaya. To help quiet the voices in my head and release some pent up energy I drum and bellydance ( Raqs Sharki). There is something about this ancient dance that speaks to my soul! I spent alot of years 'clean' but I relapsed two years ago. I am once again clean as of January 1, 2007 and one more time I am going to live my life 'One day at a time'. I know that life goes on and as the Wheel turns in this Enchanted Journey called life, there are going to be times when my faith is going to be truly tested and as much as I would like to give up I cannot. For I am a daughter of Hecate and for that if nothing else, I will stand tall and strong with my head held high remembering..........It is in the darkest of skies that the stars can best be seen! So Mote It Be!

My two beloved guides for whom I have been named after
As winter descends,
two kindred spirits-
Wolf and Raven prevail,
ever wise, sly, playful, hardy...
mythical creatures,
sacred to the native peoples...
