Meditation Visualisation Grounding And Centering
Seat yourself on a chair or on the floor. If you sit on a chair make sure your feet are flat on the floor. If you are sitting on the floor make sure you have your feet arranged so that they are not crossed at the ankles as this inhibits energy flow.
One of the first things I’m usually asked by someone who is not a Witch is, “Why are you a Witch?” That is followed closely with, “How do I become a Witch?”
And of course, there’s the perpetual question, What is Witchcraft?
A Witch does not just perform Magick by casting intricate spells and chanting rhymes. We cast spells everyday, all day. I cast around a hundred spells a day. We drive over a dangerous bridge, I cast a spell of protection around my family and our car. A storm rises and there are reports of tornadoes, I cast a spell of protection around our house. Someone gets sick, I cast a spell to dispel the negativity in him or her. I pick a piece of fruit and cast a spell to heal the wound I made on the plant. I water my garden and cast a spell so the food will grow. I go to bed at night and cast spells on everyone to have sweet dreams.
The Basics of Witchcraft
Introduction
For a while now, I have noticed that many people who are not Neo-Pagans have some very basic misconceptions about Witchcraft. Most seem to think that it has the same dynamics as the Abrahamic religions (Judaism - Christianity - Islam), as if it were a carbon copy of them with only the letterhead changed. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, if you take everything you know (or think you know) about the Abrahamic religions and reverse them, then you will probably be closer to the reality of Witchcraft.
Grounding Basics
Descriptions and Exercises
Grounding is an exercise that many witches and magicians overlook in their study of ritual magick, but it can be very helpful in keeping the current of energy within yourself in proper balance. It is also an integral part of the Grounding-Centering-Shielding process which keeps foreign entities and energies from attaching to the energy shell that surrounds each of us.
Due to some recent events that I have been going through, I’ve narrowed a lot of it to my grounding. While I do ground on an almost obsessive schedule plus when I find myself overwhelmed I failed to do so for myself properly and adequately.
Grounding normally isn’t a hard process and I’m going to post a lot of differing ways to ground. Remember that each person and their needs tend to be different but still there are differing ways to do so. The following posts will cover many ways and the beauty of being a witch is that you can choose what works best for you.
Remember that in order to perform your magic, you need to be firmly grounded and should do so both before and after all magic use. Please find the best way for you and practice as much as possible.
Blessed be
