Lesson 1: What are your definitions?
Hello everyone! I am so sorry I seem to be behind on everything, I didn't realize how long it takes to upload videos on youtube.com! Alright lets get down to it.
I asked you all to write YOUR definitions for the first lesson.
Definitions of #1. a Witch. #2. Witchcraft. #3. Society and the realationship toward witches.
I hope you have them! I am eager to hear every last one!
These are my definitions. Whether you agree or disagree is wonderful. I love to hear what you think. If our definitions are different that is fine, don;t worry I am not trying to instill my paticular beliefs on you. These are just points of views here and no matter what religion, everyone has those. so here you go!
WITCH:
The gifts of nature once were abundant. Everyone had talents to be productive. Even since the dawn of humanity, people had gifts of hunting, fishing, gathering, memory, imagination, fertility, agility, wisdom, leadership, faith, of believing. There were/are many gifts. People had to work hard, hand in hand, to become a productive tribe; A family. Many gifts are given in multiples. One that many had was imagination. It was what made them so adaptable. As humanity grew, one by one, the gifts were warped, changed somehow. Now we are so involved with the trivial we no longer see with our imagination. we don't have to. Using ones imagination is now a lost past time. Yet, many do not see the potential imagination has. Imagination is the ability to open oour minds and our souls. It allows us to see what our vision can't. Sure many believe that one must see to believe. I can tell you those are the ones who have lost thier ability to imagine. Imagination is the key to magick. It unlocks what society "believes" to be unreal. WHO EVER said imagination was the process to conjure FAKE things in your mind?? A Witch is those who use that tool and work with, tame, and venture through the expanses of the unknown.
We have discovered every land on this planet, we have only searched a portion of the ocean. Yet how far have we traveled and discovered the secrets of the human mind? A witch is one who uses those secrets.
WITCHCRAFT: The mind, soul, heart, and other strong attributes that make us are all used in tandem to make the earth song we call the craft. Now magick can be seen. In the birth of a child, in the seeds that grow, hell even in your compost heap, you see magick. The common magick that we use so often and utilize is now called science. Yes, we all study it. Yes, we all know it and how it all works. That is what we call common knowledge. and is it so far fetched to say that science is common known magic? 1150 years ago we would be magicians for knowing what our 3rd graders know. hmmmm
SO recap if you are not getting my hint.
....Magick that we all know or commonly use, etc. is SCIENCE.
Science undiscovered or not yet proved with thoeries is MAGICK. get my drift.
knowledge is power. You do not hand your keys to a 10 year old and say, "Have at it!!! You'll do fine!!" no, people have the capabilities, yet have not been taught. Nor do many want to.
Also there is the magick we were speaking of dealing with imagination and belief.
Many believe in faith. Some magick is cast by not tools, rituals, spells etc. But of emotions.
Powerful enough emotions can cause a reaction. It creates energy that can be channeled for power. This is called raw magick.
There are many ways to create energy to be channeled or used in the craft to be used for a number of reasons. This one however is a wildcard.
For those who need to feel or see magick, this is the best way to prove magick's exsistance.
The energy we use for the craft can be conjured in many ways to be used for any sort of reason. Some use it for good, some bad, and some foolishly. HOWEVER, know that there is always a consiquence for EVERY action you make. good, neutral, or bad, there is always an outcome. TAKE THAT ADVICE SERIOUSLY!
The craft can recede from someone if it is abused. sometimes if it is not used in long periods of time as well.
SOCIETY VS. CRAFT:
Societies views are changing rapidly. Like there are many rock in a river bed, one must know there will always be many opinions. Many religions have become more lax about hating us. Probally because we are not dissipating from snubs. heh
Most just ignore and move on. Some are very judging, but the number is declining. Besides those who judge are breaking one of their gods rules so it is not our concern.... it is he who he showed be worried. Many of the christian faith have offspring questioning more and more.
However I do not believe just can practice the craft. there are the followers of a religion, then there are the priests/priestess. Those who have dedicated to their craft and sacrificed time, blood, sweat, tears, family, etc. for it. I do not take the term priestess lightly. NOR do I feel that any tom, cindy, or bill can just waltz in and tamper with life energies of our universe. Do you a flamethrower to anyone who wants to use one? HELL NO. So why in the hell would you tamper with the universe? Think people please this is serious stuff and not sleep over games.
Finally my GOALS:
My immediate goals are to finish my classes to becomed certifide in the craft as a clergy;
To become prfessionally skilled in Herbology;
To find a steady practice and to complete my Alter room;
To fix my woods making it sutible for my covens gatherings;
To purify my home for the season;
To raise my daughter pagen;
More long term goals are:
To become a teacher of paganism;
To educate the non crafting masses in the truth of paganism;
To own an herbal shop;
Dream Goal;
I would like to make a private academic academy of paganism.
(hey, they got christian private schools)
My secret wish is for Nicholas to become pagan. To open his mind and believe.
WELL, that was alot i know thank you for your time in reading this. Now, lemme see yours:)
remeber to have patience in everything you do and to try to make a difference in this world a little each day
Blessed Be

To be a Witch or to not be. That is the question.
Hello Everyone and happy Spring! This is my first blog so go easy on me! So, let me tell alittle about myself. I am 22 years old. I have been practicing witchcraft for 8 years. I have a daughter who I am raising pagen. so any tips lemme know. I own 3 animals. A pitbull named Gus. He is the biggest goof ball on the dog planet. Hence his name. I have a tyrant of a little kitty named Hazel. She torments Gus something awful. She is a spazz and a bully. She is my guard cat. Gus is the cuddler. Then there is Rosie, my lab rat. She is as sweet as condensed milk. She play video games with us. I think she is the smartest of all the animals. I have a man gorgeous Fiancee. He is the sexy tool guy on a calander. y'know what I'm talking about. I am in college and have a few ideas of what to be. I have a field full of goals and intend to fullfill every single one. Amistis (my best friend) and I have been brainstorming... dangerous? maybe... We have decided to help those out there who want to practice Paganism and/or witchcraft. Now I hope to use this blog as a written guide in adjacent to my YouTube vlogs. Captnraiz is my screen name! Amistis has her blog look on my friends. her You tube account is MOOSEPH2005. Check it out! Now we will be doing this in different ways, but we wanna start with a certain book. We will go over it together and do each of the exercises in stages.
Again this is for learning about the craft. Whatever reason you are here, we welcome you :)
Whether you are a young teen curious or have found your calling. Or if you are a parent curious about what it is. Or need a refresher course on our foundations or certain methods.
We are just happy to be of service.
What you need: A notebook. If you want a fancy one or just a spiral notebook will do fine.
* an open mind.
* the book To Ride a Silver Broomstick
by Silver Raven Wolf
: Now it is recommended you get this book. It is inexpensive on ebay. HOWEVER, if you can't get one for any reason. We will be thurough enough that you may get by with out one.
Anywho I hope you Enjoy!!!!
