Sarah Mascorro AKA Pixie Witch. I\u2019m 45 years young and have been married to my soul mate for 28 plus year. We have 2 boys and live in good ole California. I was actually born in England but came to the states when I was 5.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Pagan\/Wiccan and have been practicing over 10 years now. I always knew I was different but didn\u2019t figure it out till 2008, that\u2019s when I came out of the broom closet. I\u2019m a Witch and I\u2019m proud of it. When I say different I mean I just didn\u2019t fit in with what others did or believed in. I\u2019m sure you all totally understand that feeling. Now I know though I\u2019m not different, I\u2019m me and there are so many others like me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hold rituals at my house with my circle for each Sabbat and we do a lot of witch crafts together. I love to do all types of crafts not just witchy like I make dream catchers, wood burn, make soaps and bath salts. I love to cross stitch and make latch hook rugs. I have a small page on Facebook that I sell my goodies. You can FIND THEM HERE<\/a> at Pixiewitchcorner<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I love to cook and bake. My mother was a great cook & I picked up her talent. I love to make my own fun recipes and add some magick to them. I mean cooking is magickal right so why not add a little extra to it. I started a Kitchen Witch Group<\/a> on Facebook over 4 years ago. If your on FB come check it out<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I love to spend my time with my hubby & boys. We love to be out in nature especially the beach & the forest. I belong in the forest, I guess all pixie\u2019s do hee hee. My friends call me Pixie due to my size I\u2019m 5\u20191 and barely 100 pounds with really long red and silver hair hee hee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I collect stones like hag stones, labradorite, amethysts, quartz etc\u2026 I also collect witch statues, Goddess statues, owls, crows and the Moon. Oh & sea glass I cant forget that. Do tattoos count? If so I have over a 100 of them I\u2019m about 80% covered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Another hobby is photography. I love taking pictures of nature such as flowers, animals, trees, mountains, the ocean and my favorite of all the Moon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I love to unwind two ways one is with a great book, usually witchy or paranormal ones catch my attention the most. I do read & research a lot about the human body and diseases due to my families rare health issues. The other is going outside under the stars and Moon. What a great way to end the day looking up at the dark beautiful sky.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
