Looking for help from other wiccans

Hello to all,

I am here to request wiccan help. I have always believed in the wiccan way. I am new to seriously researching and learning and putting into practice what I learn. I keep a notebook that I fill with pertinant information.

I have always believed wicca was to be used for good only and still feel that way.

I have been persecuted for my beliefs. I lost custody of my children in my divorce due to two reasons: my belief in wicca and peace and also the fact that I do not make as much money nor have as many 'contacts' as my ex husband does. He is friends with many in the judicial system.

I only ask to all out there for wishes (and spells if you are so inclined) of success and happiness for me in my endeavors to regain my children.

I come from a small town with, unfortunately, small minded folks. Wicca (as well as other religions that are not mainstream and considered 'real') is severely frowned upon.

I am an artist and create pieces with the hopes that whoever receives them will feel the love and care put into each one, and that the piece gives them a feeling of happiness each time they look at it.

I know that if I were to become more financially stable and have the ability to hire a good lawyer and get a nice home that I will be able to have my children with me again. Unfortunately, around here money talks and gets results. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. I even find myself buying lottery tickets in the hopes that blessings will come my way.

Please keep me and my children in your thoughts and all I ask is that good feelings and thoughts of success for me are sent into the universe.

thank you,
Shye Echo
