The Magick of this Blog - Always Seek More Knowledge

SEEK TO UNDERSTAND

As a witch with my own personal beliefs, I reflect those such beliefs on this blog; no one has to like my understanding of the beliefs taught to me, but no one should get upset, instead, seek to understand. The goal of a witch is to understand, to always seek knowledge.

This blog does not specifically stick to the ways of only white magick, nor does this blog entirely encase itself in black magick either. Instead, it practices the ways of magick of all colors! I personally believe that a witch must have an idea and understanding of each type of magick that is in this natural world so that they can decide more fully which magick is best suited for themselves and not discriminate against any other color of magick. Like a past post that I wrote several years ago, black magick is not entirely bad just as white magick is not entirely good.

“To me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn't afraid of facing challenges.”

Not only does a witch need to seek to understand the different colors of magick, but they need to learn how and when to hex just as much as how and when to heal. Hexing can be a positive thing in certain situations; you can bind a person who is bothering you, push for someone to leave your friends alone, hex the person that physically or sexually assault you, the person that is bullying you can get a piece of their own medicine, etc. Yes, karma does play a huge role in the Universe - do unto others bit, and what goes around comes around - but sometimes karma needs a little push or just some help, maybe she needs to know that this person does need some medicine or they really do need some punishment.

Now, I don't advocate that you go around hexing people you feel deserve punishment or has been slightly unfair, not at all. Hexing must be done with the understanding that it is in a just way, that it is truly deserved, and your Gods or spirit guide(s) must agree too. They will understand that whatever was done to you was possibly because it was a lesson that you needed to learn and so the person probably doesn't deserve retribution, other times what a person did to you - e.g., rape, stole your life savings, advocates for hate, etc. - truly deserves punishment and torment, hell on earth.

A witch holds the power of the Universe, is made with star dust and natural magick,, they have the power to influence the weather and speak to the dead, the power to find true inner peace, and so much more! There is no limit to a witch's power except when they doubt themselves! We can speak and commune with Gods and spirits, we find power in the natural Earth as well as the stars and planets out in the Universe. We can do and be anything we want!

So go out there, sisters and brothers! Accept your powers! Embrace your feminism! Embrace your masculinity! Teach yourself and research as much as you can possibly get your hands on! Then, go help others! Help them to understand, to embrace themselves - even when others won't.

Pagan Art

The topic of Pagan Art is something that we are going to touch on, but very lightly. I imagine that there are artists among those of you who look at this blog, and I am one as well. For me, art isn't just the expression of self, it is the expression of the soul and how the world is seen by an individual. So when I mean Pagan Art, what I'm saying is exactly those two words but how people see the Pagan world for themselves.

For those who are artists, maybe think about the different ways Pagan means. Think of the Gods and the Goddesses, think of their symbols, the seasons, the different myths and stories there are, and try to create a picture that depicts any of those. Let it be in your own style or your own way, but make sure that it represents how you view the Pagan world. Take pictures, paint, draw, sketch, sing, anything! Because the world is yours.

For those of you who are not artists, why not look up some Pagan art. It could be Faeries, Vampires, Werewolves, the Gods and Goddesses, it could be anything associated with the Earth or the darkness that many people believe to be occult. Immerse yourself in it, listen to Pagan music!

All I'm trying to say is that there are very beautiful things that are in the Pagan world, many things that are judged before understood, hated before loved, and scared of because of its difference. Please, before you decide to judge and say that this is all the work of a being made of pure evil, look at what we all represent.

We represent nature, love, life, and good. Yes, there will be people that associate themselves with darkness, but that does not mean everyone is exactly like that.

I particularly love looking at Pagan artwork and listening to Pagan songs, because it feels natural and pure. Look for yourselves, and maybe not by the words of others but by the words and feelings of your heart.

Blessed be.
