You don't need tools or rituals to be a real witch - the magic is in YOU :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700274325362843291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540034411674848782.post-7154925941334320172016-11-14T15:33:53.482+00:002016-11-14T15:33:53.482+00:00This is a brilliantly helpful post.

I did my year and a day with a Wiccan coven before deciding not to go through with the initiation as Wicca was not for me. I have felt for a long time as though I am somehow less of a witch than friends who observe all the festivals. I am solitary by choice, I will gaze at and talk to the moon, cry at the beauty and serenity of woodland and find myself casting healing spells almost without realising I am doing it. It feels so natural to me that I don't question. <br />I am so happy to hear that you are not missing the paraphernalia and strict observance that so many take for being a ' real' witch. Thank you for sharing and letting me see that I am not not alone in just being me....Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302243548927567960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540034411674848782.post-76037482484864974762016-11-14T15:19:57.463+00:002016-11-14T15:19:57.463+00:00Glad to hear I am not the only one!

If the power is not in the hand, it will never be in the implement. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946670506550054980noreply@blogger.com
