sidhe_faerieThere are times I try to be a normal witch but it never works out. So for Samhain ritual I decided to sign up for an online ritual. I was hopeful but my hopes were dashed as soon as I got the packet of pre-ritual info.
I'm not a fluffy witch. I don't go into all the witchy trappings. Don't get me wrong. I like my crystals as much as the next witch but I know that expensive tools won't make me any more magickal than I am. I was taught that the only tools I needed was my intent and my personal power.
I'm a witch on the cheap. I use whatever on hand when I do spell work. I like to make things I use. It gives me a better connection to what I use. If something feels comfortable in your hand, it focuses the flow of magick better. If something is awkward in your hand, it hinders the flow of magick.
Back to the Samhain ritual, I got the downloads and I realized I didn't fit in with this bunch. It's sad because I really wanted to be a part of a group ritual. It's been a while since I enjoyed a focused group energy.
First, I'm a WITCH! You don't need to tell me I'm special or worthy because I'm a witch. I know I'm powerful. I can feel it in my very bones. I could fell my power before I had a name to put to it. No one with true power needs that much reassurance. If you do, you aren't ready to witch. You need to work on your issues first before you try to use your personal power.
Second, spells can't take away bad habits or bad thoughts. Only a conscious decision to change can do that. Focusing on bad things only increases their power. Focus on what you should do or can do to change. Measurable goals are always best instead of vague ones.
I was hoping for a positive energy raising to heal the world not a self centered approach. The world is more in need than a single person. The good of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. That works for real life as well as fiction.
Third, spells should be straight forward and uncomplicated. Spells are like prayers not sideshows. Simple works best. It doesn't confuse the true intent of the spell. If there are too many steps there are too many places where things can go wrong or get confused.
Instead I did a simple ritual on my own. It was short and It gave me peace. I will look forward to the new year with hope.
I'm going to need all the hope I can get. The world is messy right now and it looks like itself going to get messier before it gets better. It has to get better. It can't get much worse. Well…. It can but let's hope it doesn't
Hail to the Ancestors! Blessed Be!
