Remember why you are Doing this!

Who led you down this path in the first place?

Was is a family member that you are following?
Was it a friend who found the path and got you interested?
Did you go exploring and come upon a book that started you reading about the old ways?
Was there a course available in your local town and you decided to go in and just check it out?


Maybe when you started you had this amazing idea of what following the path might look like.
Maybe it was all about the clothing, incense and buying candles.
It may have been about the magical side and creating spells to gain more control over your life?
Was it about the ritualistic side of witchcraft?


A movie may have set your spark alight.
Whatever it was I wonder if you still look at it all the same way?
Has your learning progressed and are you living by the tenets of the Craft?



As we mature and our lives change our views of witchcraft and it's position in our lives also changes.
For some of us the connection just grows deeper and into another level of commitment.
For others it becomes superfluous and has done it's task in filling an emptiness that we felt at a particular time in our lives.

It may be time for you to look deeply into your belief around witchcraft and to observe your growth.
It may be a time of reassessment of the value you place in what the teachings are and if they do serve you or whether you might be going through the motions but actually not achieving that sense that you have found the right way.


Maybe its time to mix it up and stretch your witchy wings?
Time to teach others or change covens or go back to learning at a deeper level and not sitting still in what you know and telling yourself that it is enough.

Wherever you are on your journey take a step to the side and observe yourself.
Look with the eyes of a stranger.
Ask yourself why you do it and how you do it and to what end.\
