Deities of the Divine
Throughout history, people from many cultures have tried to understand and connect with the Divine. Civilizations have created many ways to represent the universal forces that influence our lives and the world. These representations, often called god forms, are symbols or figures that stand for certain aspects of the Divine. For example, the ancient Greeks saw Zeus as the king of the gods, represe...
The Body of a Witch
We must care for the body, for it is the vehicle of the spark of life, the form by which we attain. Thus we must heal the body of it’s ills and keep it a tuned and perfected tool; so must we heal others (both physically and psychologically) as far as it is within our power to do so. However, we cannot interfere with the life of another, even to heal, except at their request or with their express p...
This Divine Fire
We know of the existence of the life-force which ensouls all living things, that is, all that exists. We know that a spark of this Divine Fire is within each and every thing that exists, and that it does not die; only the form of it’s existence changes. We know that this spark of the life-force returns to manifestation again and again in order to fully realize and actualize it’s potential, evolvin...
An Opinion from a Witch!
A Witch refuses to allow her/himself to be corrupted by the great guilt neuroses which have been foisted on humanity in the name of the Divine, thus freeing the self of the slavery of the mind. The Witch expresses responsibility for her/his actions, and accepts the consequences of them; guilt is rejected as inhibiting to one’s self-actualisation, and replaced by the efforts of the Witch to o...
Characteristics of the Elements
There is a vaporous, subtle and invisible quality to each of these things which we called the physical elements. The ancients have told us that all of creation was brought into being when the Spirit drew the four elements unto itself. These elements are called Earth, Air, Fire and Water. And they are controlled by Spirit. Each of these elements possesses an etheric double. It is this essence which...
Rebirth
The human body will eventually fade away after the death experience. Yet the Soul cannot be destroyed, nor is it subject to physical actions or restrictions. After the death of the body, the Soul is still connected to its form for three days. For a period of seven days the Soul is earthbound. After this it will be escorted by the Old Ones to the Moon Worlds. For the Strega the desire is to enter t...
The Grigori
Before the people walked upon the world, there dwelt those beings which we call the Grigori. Some have called them spirits and gods. Some have spoken of them as powers and forces. The old legends tell us that the Grigori once were physical beings, but that they are no longer. It is said they dwell among the stars. They are the Watchers of the Worlds, and of the entrances and exits to the Worlds. O...
Astral Plane
The Astral World, through the plane of forces, receives the thoughts and vibrations of actions from the Physical World. Just as solid materials are used to create objects in our world, our thoughts and vibrations create objects on the Astral Plane. Therefore, what people strongly believe in enough can be created astrally. This is one method by which ritual Magic is performed. Energy is first raise...
The Act of Rebirth
After the death experience has been completed, then the Soul is made ready to be born again. When a couple is engaged in sexual union, a whirlpool of energy (a vortex) is created above them. This energy attracts Souls who are awaiting rebirth, from the plane which is harmonious to the energy of the union (the vortex is a composite aura of the couple). Once attracted, the Soul will be drawn into th...
Luna Moon World
Luna is known as the purest and most radiant of the Moon Worlds—a realm untouched by sorrow or decay. After life in the physical world, the Soul is believed to journey here, finding a place to rest, heal, and renew its spirit. Luna is often described as a domain of eternal youth, where the burdens of mortal life are gently lifted and the Soul’s essence is restored to its most vibrant state. In Lun...
Accepting Fairies
To accept that fairies do indeed exist, and that cooperation with them in the creation of a garden will richly benefit all that grows in it, is a part of the wisewomen’s ancient doctrine.However small and humble your plot, there is always an angel of the garden. She must be called upon, and the spirit of her gentle presence must be felt and revered by all who would make friends with the fair...
