The nature of wichcraft is the connection between the witch and nature and this is established by charge, the key to this charge is a bridge that the witch with her abulities both personal energy and those she gathers from the circleof consort or rite create a connection to the living energy of magic called charge and with this charging state the witches gifts become more visible... Others try to say that they are going to give over themselves to the will of the goddess or totem spirits and they don't realize that the essense of witchcraft is the union of both as in the witch and the goddess or energy they work with spirit or non-spirit working as one, not the empty the body thing your taught in shaman 101, but more of a link between the world of magic. this is called the bond of the outer and inner, The witch is connected to both at diffrent time...as you will learn.....
(sorry but full details of the rituals are left out so no one can copy or violate the nature of this ancient form of practicing charging)
"to accomplish this connection you need to go through the 4 rituals of charging"
one named for each direction, N.S.E.W however not like the 4 corners that was more of a novices way to adept magic and is not of real witchcraft, outer circle stuff"
the rituals are broken down into easy steps.......here in....
(first the body is offered skyclad, without bonds or ties, and the witch/magi in controll of the ritual may offer a blindfold to grow a stronger trust,then prepares them by awaking the skin as they lay down in a mini star fashion, once done, then the body will be marked for acceptance, but marked with the oldest symbols to be set forth in time and space, then they must accept these marks because they will eventually vanish, but the rite would have been done,
then they will be charged by the touch of desire 3 times round, and then lifted by handle, to the first circle of trust, there they will begin "As Above so to below"
a circle sweeping to build their energy in a bond of trust, then they will anoit the candle to light, and begin the first triangle (air,fire, and water) powers of the witch
and they must earn natures blessing to continue otherwise they are not ready to face their true self, as they will and do, all do........after a reflection is done of the same to the back, often to ready the witch for entrance ritual two "charging spirit"
The witch self is connected to the spectrum and with the right tuning can even project the energy it wants, however it's main state is to be of balance and to "forfill" the missing, meaning that the key to the witches will is there ever growing bond with energy after they have been accepted to join natures ranks as "the hands"
Energy is generated throught the 3 forms of connection, Touch, sight, and joining
Touch requires only a link to work "an item, essence, smell, or physical contact"
Sight requires abit more skill, you must use the images in your mind to create a field of insight and this gives rise to the power...
Joining requires the sensitive contract of the body or mind to work, through the contact the messages of mental or physical energy is exchanged the highest form is sexual contact, but you must control your emotions before connecting in that way...
(in all these contacts enhance the witches power of "bewitchment"
the reason most feared them, because of this form of energy and influence they could use at will) bewitching is the power of self imagery, to enhance and even beautify the soul, spirit, body, or mind of another....to be a full witch is to gather all these gifts
and even project them on others if you willed it... " In Ritual two, all is repeated but this time marking and sacred anoiting is then set in motion, mind you witchcraft isn't a religion but it does have it honors....as one atains the awakened skin, they the form the 2nd triangle ritual, in this the 2 elements left, plus the guardian one, is then offered in practice, you will one again have them in a laying position then begin the charging of the 3 candles" after which a form of anoiting takes place and the working of the candle are know an oath stated and re-stated, and a union bond formed, so that the witch now on her back wears her new found calling.......mark...." preparing for ritual 3
Finally having gathered the mature secrets of the witch, you can freely enter and leave various circles at will, the truthfulness of witchcraft is it's bond to the un-seen and it is there that the witch will explore the truth of many things "like themselves, the shadow they feel they see, others demons and angels, and even time....
The grand Pentacle is one such door, most occult frames or doors only house the basic of magical guardian, so be careful to bring your ariel servent and if you gathered more then your share of energy, perhaps you have a dragon stalking you as well, The powers of the witch are quite simple.....
using a few herbs or insences you learn to un-cloak the veil others say is reality alone, sorry no drugs, "drugs are cool if you are of a lost nature and need away back but i don't, nor have i found them to serve in the fullness of magic(k)"
I say go with what is, and let the rest follow as it does.....
In ritual 3 you are awakened again and gifted to wear the symbol of calling,
you then must show your trust by doing a magi/e ritual and anoit another in the way you was taught and in the circle you exchange connection, you now learn what you need to eventually enter the keep of priestess... and be ready for your training in that way" here the witches dagger truths come to life" and as you bonded to your oath, the real witch inside you shows.......enter into the Hps
Ritual 4 well is the ritual of the "Pentagram" and the power of being witch as you drift off into the realms you will soon know by heart, welcome to the doorway of witchery...as before you are re-anoited, then your marked but this time your given marks of elemental powers, not symbols of your bond, but cool gifts,
and those who work with will reflect in you, cause you now have a voice in the way the circle grows....Welcome,
Think you can handle that.......
As for coven workings everything is on the connection and evolvement of energy,
no one is all powerful, only held by oath and passage to being
and all whom take the trutful steps of being witch shall be honored........
forever by nature and those who are of her by oath
for all the ritual details join, and see for yourself.......
