My Past Self, The Religious One
I have been traveling this path since my inception into the Craft at the age of 16. Along the way, I have been lost, found, lost again, and found again, and have changed my path so many times. I am 31 now and will be 32 in November. My path, as it could be said, is a very twisted, crooked path. I have banished, hexed, and cursed many in my life. And in my time of need, I have sat in the darkness alone many a night crying and grieving for what I could not have in life.

Religion is a funny thing, I think. In the last few years, I have been losing my religion and gaining an awareness of increasing intensity at a rate that was at first profound and is now slightly tapering off in a way I never knew it could or would go. Let me explain.

My life has been devoted to researching world religions. Am I religious? NO! not anymore. The common denominator I found in all religions was this:

I’m not a Buddhist but I do love studying Eastern thought and particularly Buddhism. For me, as a philosophy it seems to have a profound understanding of human psychology. The methods of recognising how our own conscious mind works and harnessing it to manifest more loving and serene mind states to me seems to be of crucial importance at this juncture in human history.

Takad and Spoons. The dynamic duo returns again. Their life of drinking has never changed. They still live in the three wall shanty house near the stream in the jungle.
Waldo YamadaPublished 3 years ago in FuturismHow did I get into Witchcraft?
So now that you know a little bit about me and we’ve gone over some witchcraft basics, you may be wondering: how did I get into witchcraft?
The History of Witchcraft
Witchcraft has a very long history that shaped many of the traditions that we have today. Because modern day witchcraft came from ancient paganism, many of the mainstream holidays like Christmas came from witchcraft. Also, many religious stories that are part of the main world religion are based on pagan ideas. So even if you do not identify as a with I suggest you read this because you will probably learn something.
Full Moon
One of the first things people imagine when they hear the word witch is us dancing naked under the moon. This is not that far off except being naked is entirely optional. Full moon is a time for celebration for us so we are often found dancing under her light. Full moon is when we celebrate and give thanks… but why?
Why I Identify as a Grey Witch
Up until recently, I identified as a white witch. To me this meant that I was only to do spells involving love and light. While I still think this way, I didn’t know that there was more to the title of white witch.
What is Witchcraft?
Good morning sunshine! Today I am going to go over what exactly witchcraft is and the different types etc. So starting off I want to make it known that witchcraft is a practice, not a religion. Wicca is an example of one of the religions associated with witchcraft but witchcraft is simply a practice. Therefore: you can be a witch and not be Wiccan. Also another thing that I would like to point out is that Paganism is an umbrella term for all religions that are not the “main world religion” such as Christianity or Islam. So being Pagan simply means that you are believing in something different than the majority. Another term to be defined that is often associated with witchcraft is the word, “occult.” The word, “occult” scares many people off as it is associated with evil but by definition, occult simply means hidden. Sure some things considered to be occult are evil but not all. Some things associated with witchcraft could be considered occult, but that doesn’t mean that they’re automatically evil, it just means that most people don’t know or understand them and/or they’re not meant to know or understand them. Another thing that many people don’t know unless they’re a witch is how to correctly spell and define the word “magick.” When referring to real magick, like that of witches it is spelled with a “k” at the end. The usual spelling for magick or magic refers to that of magicians and the art of illusion. On this blog I will mostly be referring to magick so get used to seeing the “k” at the end of magic.
