- Having a sense of inviolate personal power.
It is this sense of inviolate personal power that separates the Wiccan from the majority of humanity. It is what makes a Wiccan a Wiccan and when we freely give that power to others, or when we allow others to snatch it away or manipulate it as they desire, or when we consciously put ourselves into situations that negate that sense of power within us, we have effectively castrated ourselves and removed the creative ability that we all inherently hold within us as creators, as children of The Lady and Lord. No one can take from us that which we were created from, only we can give it away. As Wiccans we intuitively know this, recognize this, and acknowledge this and do not consciously do so.
