The Wiccan path is a beautiful path of love,
peace and healing. It is a loving, gentle way of living that is practised with joy and balance.
There have been many people who
have taken to walking a spiritual path. Their lives have been enriched by their connections with indigenous
tribes and guides from the Native American tribes, Egypt or Tibet. What many have overlooked is that we
the Wicca are the indigenous tribe of these the sacred British Isles.
Wicca is the Old Religion of witchcraft and yet before you all run for
the door let me explain.....
Many of us have a pre-conceived idea of a witch. A broom flying, long haired, wart wearing
hag, it is even used as a derogatory term to describe a woman - an unpleasant and ugly woman. They are portrayed as women and yet the word witch
refers to both male or female. They are thought to be evil, Satanists and cause harm and yet nothing can
be further from the path - this is not true of the Wiccan Path.
Witchcraft is a loving peaceful healing way of life. We cast
our spells and work with nature in such a way that we adhere to the Wiccan Rede of which the last 8 words are the most significant
"do what ye will, and
harm ye none."
We
live by the rule of three, that is whatever you do comes back threefold.
"Ever mind the rule of three, what thou sends out comes back to
thee."
The
essence of the rule is that whatever we do in our daily lives, magical practice etc will come back three times as powerful
(threefold), and therefore it is our way to constantly send out love and healing, be cheery in heart and mind, be kind and
mindful of our actions. In other religious practices this is known as Karma.
In
the past the witch was the anchor of her village: she would help with the births, she would give healing and medicine to the
sick, she would practice divination for those who needed answers.
The Wiccan Path honours the Goddess. She
is represented by the Moon. This is why the use of the moon phases is so important to us and our work.
The Goddess has three aspects which correspond to the three phases of the moon and also that of a woman.
The new and waxing moon is the maiden , young and fresh and full of new beginnings , eager
for life and adventure.
The full moon represents the mother, bountiful, nurturing, providing abundance, fulfilment and balance.
The waning moon represents the crone, or
wise woman. This is my favourite phase because she brings wisdom, secrets, protection and sometimes destruction.
Use
these phases to invoke what you want in your life because the Wiccan Way is all about empowerment. Empowerment
of you and within you. You have the power to change your life. How I hear you cry? Well by realising that you are a powerful being
and you can create your own life... Once you realise this fact, doors will open for you.
Doors you hadn’t even realised were there.
There are ways to evoke this and bring empowerment into
your life. Every morning for 30 days, stand infront of the mirror and make this positive statement to yourself
and the Universe:
“I AM A POWERFUL BEING, I AM IN TOUCH WITH
MY OWN PERSONAL POWER AND I WILL USE IT TO ENHANCE AND IMPROVE MY LIFE. I CAN EMPOWER MYSELF AT ANY MOMENT
BY SIMPLY RECALLING THIS FACT”
By repeating this affirmation every day you will soon step
into your personal power and by doing this you can manifest anything you want and bring it into your life.
You can call them wishes, spells, prayers, affirmations, cosmic orders whatever we want but
by empowering ourselves we can work magic and such is the way of the Wicca.
