Sometimes as we live our lives and practice our Craft there are situations and people that can really just irritate us. Right? I am aware that these moments appear so that we can take time and reflect on why it bothers us to such an extent and to grow from the experience. Perhaps the person or situation is reflecting back at us something that we may want to examine more thoroughly; a wound that we have not healed from that could possibly be effecting our Craft in a way that is detrimental to our overall well-being. I believe that often times when we are being confronted and even ridiculed by a Christian this may hit us swifter and with more emotion than if it was by someone else and about something other than our religious or spiritual beliefs. There is this history we share that energetically binds us to each other in suffering and grief, which is a trigger for many Witches to lash out and feel the need to defend themselves, but I am not one of those Witches. I was raised within in Christian home and explored Christianity for years before forging my own spiritual path. It isn't that I disliked the teachings, but more that I don't believe that any one religion has 

"The Truth". I do not believe that all human beings are meant to reach "God" the same way as we are not all from the same culture nor do we all speak the same language. Our people have different histories and stories and experiences and our spiritual beliefs reflect the people who hold them dear. 

Our modern society exploits these beliefs and uses spirituality as a way and means to sell us shit we don't need. In America being Witchy is trendy. I don't particularly care that it is. I am Witch not because it is trendy or hip; I've never been one to follow the crowd. When I was younger I wanted to have friends and socialize with my peers, but I have found that I felt more comfortable leading than following and sometimes just being alone was best for me at certain points in my life. When I did have friends I had a handful of close friends not slews of acquaintances. I remember being able to find common ground with others, but always feeling as if I never did quite fit in. I'm sure that I am not unique in this and that many other Witches feel and have felt the same way. I am Witch because it is what I am. What I always was. What I always will be. 

Just as my life cannot be separated between mundane and magickal, neither can I be separated between woman and Witch. Even though I may have been raised Roman Catholic; I was Witch. Even when I joined the Methodist Church; I was Witch. At my baptism as a Jehovah's Witness; I was Witch. I may have not acknowledged who I was, I may have tried on other religions and spiritual practices, but deep within my essence there was a part of me who knew and understood that I would find my way to where I was meant to be ... that it was necessary for my personal growth as a human being and as a spiritual being to learn and examine other ways of finding peace and love; other ways to experience harmony with The All. Ultimately though, I would find my place; my purpose, my identity and that is Witch. 


Not Your Whore
 
Amongst the shadows I reside,
With The Ancestors as my guide.
In pensive silence I walk this path,
Imbuing all of Nature’s wrath.
Portents, omens, I take heed –
The modern world with all its greed,
I detest, reject, ignore.
I am not society’s whore;
I turn my head. I don’t partake,
Instead with Nature it’s love I make.
High above me the velvet sky,
Down below the dead leaves lie,
I make a bed with moss and grass,
“Hey world, come here and kiss my ass.”
