The Sorceresses Power

I have come to realise over time that the power of an alchemist or sorceress comes not from their ability to change the world around them but rather to change themselves.

Power over the mind is key to success in life. This is much harder for a woman because we have our hormonal cycles to compensate for. However, there is much strength to be found in these cycles with the correct knowledge. If you are properly educated and aware you can optimise productivity by embracing the strengths of each part of the cycle. I don't know a better way to learn this than by being attentive to your desires and needs.

It is the changability and adaptability which gives woman her strength. We thwart this strength when we try to ignore our needs to fit into a patriarchal system.

Realise this; just as our opinions change with our hormones we can use our control over our minds to change our hormones, or wealth, self-love, confidence, anything! Just put your mind to it and it can be achieved. Women are natural sorcesses.

Can Spirituality be Taught?

I believe that spirituality is a state of mind. Never forget the power of the mind. It can cause hallucinations of sight touch and sound. It can make our body heal at miraculous rates. We can push our hands through bricks if we want. It is quite an incredible thing and the boundaries of it are yet to be found.

In my teenage years my parents were splitting up and my coping mechanism was to delve into the wonderful world of magick. I would fantasise about the Goddess taking care of me and the Gods wildness. They were and always will be my true parents because I have created them and I have chosen them to behave in whichever way I want. Whilst I believed in magick as though it was something in existence outside of me I saw and did amazing things which I didn't think were possible. I increased my funds, I changed my eye colour and I found items which I thought lost to me. This was just the tip of the ice berg. I also had experiences in nature with spirits and such.

When I joined university I had lost my faith in magick entirely and found it again when 'The Witches' Karen and Fi (of sensory solutions) came to visit. They showed me how I could apply my spirituality to my physical practice as a herbalist. They were the witch I always wanted to be; the old wise woman in the house in the country with her spells, secrets and wisdom.

What I came to realise was that while I believed I managed to give myself the power to experience the world in a different way and when I didn't believe I couldn't see these things. This leads me to the conclusion that while it is possible for these esoteric things to exist outside ourselves I think that it is mostly down to our individual perception of the outside world. This does not take away from the magick for me though. Is it not amazing that our minds can give us miraculous capabilities?

I think so.

I recognise that my mind has these abilities but I also know that knowing that doesn't give me the ability to do whatever I want. I know that ritual and spells are carefully designed to bring the mind into a place where I can do those things. This is why I still practice ritual, spells and meditation. This is why I am still successful.

I believe it is possible that our minds abilities stretch outside ourselves into the outside world though. I believe it is possible we can influence things outside ourselves more than just changing our mind set. These are simply possibilities to me though and I do not profess them to be truths. I do however, stay open minded to this possibility. I see no harm in belief. If those beliefs give a person the ability to pull themselves out of cancer then so be it!

The reason why I do not like people that tell the 'believers' they are talking a load of crap is because; YES, they are talking a load of crap. What's it to you? Is it harming you in any way directly? If a belief does not cause harm do not hunt them down and do not seek them out. Stop the witch hunt, for we have not harmed you.
