3 yrs after ... started in 2006

Its December now, more free time, more time to think and mull things over. On my own, its so easy to wonder and think how did I get here?

My witchcraft started in 2006. That was the year that my family had to face the truth that my father has another family. I know, for other cultures its not a big deal. But in the Philippines, where there is no divorce and marriage is for life - fidelity and family are a big deal. We felt betrayed, we know that my father was more likely a philandering person, but we hope it was just a series of women, young women, nothing more. Thus, after 40 yrs of of marriage, to find out that he had another family for the last 20 yrs was deeply devastating. For me, it was such a mix feelings - I started another blog then, http://jailthemistress.blogspot.com to simply express myself.

At first, we were suppose to seek legal justice. My mother opened up to people, I saw friends visit the house, saying their piece and their counsel. My mother was simply and deeply in love with my father. There was simply no one else, no other man for her. I remember it then, there was Aling Delay, telling my mother to light up a black candle, and say a prayer for my father to change his ways. She said that a black candle is suppose to bring conscience to my father and that she could even pray also for the mistress to develop one so they could separate.

I love to shop, and just out of curiosity I went to my favorite department store - they have decorative candles and all, and I was surprised that they have BLACK CANDLES!! I have my own apartment so with a picture and the candles, I prayed, I wished for my father to have a conscience that things would be better. But the internet was a source of materials, as I believe in this stuff, I believe in karma - and he is still my father. So, I focused on the mistress...

I used to light up the black candles till it burns out... and I would pray, chant, wish...

Babaeng makasalanan, Magbago ka na
Babaeng makasalanan, Mawala ka na sa buhay namin

Sinful woman, you change
Snful woman, you disappear from our lives

and I would envision a lot of things about her...

I thought not much about it, it was just like lighting a birthday candle and making a wish. A simple witchcraft, isang munting kulam.

And yet there is divine justice, I was told she suffered a heart attack later on, but she survived and had to do some therapy.
