My Witchy Evolution

It is in the quiet moments between the madness of the day to day that I sometimes sit and think about my path as a witch; how it all started and how I came to be where I am today. There are so many elements, areas and facets to witchcraft that as we develop as individuals from one life to the next it is too limiting to be pigeon holed exclusively to one term and believe this is where we should remain.

When I came into witchcraft it was such a breath of fresh air. Even today our society is blatantly based on Christianity as are the values of the community right down to how schools are run and even the curriculum that is chosen. As a child I found the heavily based Christian idealism rather unsettling without understanding why.

My parents were the type that did not believe in religion and consequently left it up to me to decide. Something I have always been grateful for. It is interesting that as a result it was not until I was an adult that the awareness of what is out there finally come to me and I was able to piece together the years of inconsistencies. It was very liberating.

There are so many ways to grow and when you trust upon your path it can lead you to some very interesting places. For me, when I learnt Reiki some years back I found I no longer felt the need to conduct spells and moved into creating manifestations through energy. I have since come into my space connecting with the universe and all of its glory.

As you evolve and learn new things about yourself and the place you have chosen to be on your journey, it can open the door to such beautiful awareness allowing you to see, hear and feel things others may deem a little “strange”. Though logic often doesn’t have a place when working outside of the physical it can be a little challenging to comprehend at first.

Recently a friend of mine told me she bought a spell and it all went wrong, dropping the herbs everywhere and was rather upset by it all. It reminded me of those times where casting the circle went wrong because someone would drop by at the worst possible time or the candles would fall over because the cat decided to jump on the alter. I assumed that the gods, goddesses as well as the angels and spirit guides were in stitches of laughter because it would have been such a sight.

When you look at yourself as a witch, what does this mean to you? How has your evolution assisted you to connect to yourself and contribute to the person you are and the life you have?

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter how you evolve or what you do to fulfill your path as a witch; whatever is right for you will speak to you the loudest and feel the most comfortable. My evolution went towards the light and I am humbled to take it to a different level.

Enjoy your witchiness and all the beautiful magnificence that comes with it.
