Interview with Shewolf Silver Shadows
By Anna Alexander
A little about Shewolf: One of the things that makes Witch Grove a great place is the camaraderie of the members and the strong community. Shewolf has been with WG since the beginning of time and has helped develop that strong foundation. We are so happy she has written a book and pleased to promote it. Shewolf and Anna did the following interview via e-mail.
First and foremost please explain your background and your qualifications for writing this book.
What are my qualifications to have written this book? Well, if you are asking me for titles I can share them but you see I am a Solitary Practitioner by choice so what do titles really mean? I am a solitary practitioner because I feel that is the best way for true spirituality to be practiced and lived, one on one with the individual and nature and the Gods. I think that it is great to get together with others of like minds, but I grew sick of coven bickering. I was with a good little group while I was in Atlanta… just a few of us and we were friends first and foremost, when I left that area, I lost a lot, but inside I gained much as well.
My qualifications? Ok... besides the fact that I was born to a family of the craft? My Great Grandmother practiced, and my Grandmother became a born again Christian, and my mother practiced. However I want to note that just because they were practicing witches it did not make me a WITCH. I was born a witch because it is in my soul, not in my DNA or blood I became a Witch by rediscovering what was already there and by studying and practice. And I also have to say that I do not wholly consider myself a Traditional Witch because I do not practice exactly that of what my mom or Great Grandmother practiced…
I am closer to what my Great Grandmother practiced, but I have to much influence from other paths I walked and studied as well. Christianity is a part of me, as is the Native American spirituality, but I am of the earth, I am a witch, and what qualifies me to have written this book? Time, education, practice, failure, falling down and getting back up. I asked questions when others expected me to just accept what I was told. I tried what my soul told me was right and what nature told me was right over what books told me. I listen to my Great Grandmother now that she is one of my guides. But most of all I listen to what the Gods share with me through nature and life and experience. What qualified me to write this book, maybe I am not qualified, maybe no one really is, but I was compelled to share my own thoughts, and experiences and my truth.
I have studied or practiced Witchcraft or Wicca for over twenty years now and that does not count the time that I was exposed to it while I was growing up. I am considered by many as a High Priestess, however you can't really be a High Priest if you have no coven right? And as I said, I prefer to be a solitary practitioner. I am an ordained Minister, I am a teacher of more Traditional views of Witchcraft, the founder of Pagans for Peace and Tolerance, and to be honest, I am an old soul and I know it, and I trust what my soul tells me and what the Gods direct me in. Maybe I am not qualified… but I am what I am, and I shared my own truth, which could change and grow as I myself do as a Witch and as a person.
Many witches (including myself) seem to have a moment when they look around and say, 'holy #()@*!!! I'm a witch!" What was your moment?
Wow, this is a hard question for me to really answer. I grew up knowing our family had witches in it, so always knew that it was 'supposed' to be in my own blood. I turned my back on Witchcraft for a time, became Christian, but only had more questions. I don't know if I have had a defining moment, it just seems as if I always just have been… Nature has always been what was in my blood and that is what has taught me the most.
