Wicca and Energy


Energy… Just the sound of the word and many amazing images come to mind!  The entire universe is a continuously moving, changing existence of energies, not a gathering of things that are stationery and still, which have been carefully placed.

All things affect other things in one way or another.  All in life is intertwined in some way.  It’s like saying “Every action has a reaction” and it’s true.  When we allow energy to flow naturally it’s a beautiful thing, coming and going, taking us everywhere while tickling all of our senses.

The sights are mesmerizing, the sounds create feelings of wonder, the goose bumps received are Magickal, and the scents of all the universe join into our hunger for more!   As Witches, we reach out to touch, not only those closest to us, but we invite the entire universe to touch us as well, showing us ways to energize with a passion that is infinite in itself.

Being a Witch, and enjoying the ability to summons this energy can create change that can be both wondrous and fearful.  Proper use of Wicca and energy is not understated as is the balance of the constant increases and decreases in that energy, flow as a river of powerful Magick.

Such a precious commodity this energy, that too much can be draining to our psyche.  This is why it is so important to “ground” your energy before and after performing spell work.  Remember the power of energy flows through us.  It does not come out of us.  We connect with various energies on various planes and levels which are all interconnected to each other.

You can avoid being depleted by excess energy in many ways.  You can go outside and make contact with the elements, nature etc., which can sufficiently restore vitality.  For good grounding you can dance and chant, creating a rhythm that shakes the excess loose.  You can also place both hands flat on the bare ground pressing all excess energy into the ground, while visualizing it leaving your body.

Love the energy.  It keeps us healthy and stimulates the Wicca in us!

International Pagan Coming Out Day!

 

International Pagan Coming Out Day!
May 2nd, 2011

 

Yes! It may be time! Please consider carefully whether this is the best thing for you, because we recognize that it’s not for everyone. This could however, prove to be one of the best things that has happened to the Pagan and Wiccan community in a long time! It’s about so much more than simply being tired of hiding. It’s about acceptance and equality! If you do choose to come out, you will be benefiting us all!

The misconceptions are there, and the stories other religions tell about us will probably be there for many years to come, but this could truly help uncover the truth about Paganism and Wicca.

There are however many things to consider before choosing to do so. Your career for example. How will it affect how you relate to co-workers? The reasons for not coming out are many. Most people who choose not to come out have weighed the consequences for themselves individually.

The reasons are different for everyone. If you’re involved in a custody battle, for example, I would not suggest doing so. Many careers in which you deal with the public are difficult to share this with. Then there are other personal reasons such as family and close friends.

There are small things you can do to help even if you choose to remain in hiding. Things like a small bumper sticker that represents equality for all religions, a Wiccan Twisted Tree of Life Amulet Sterling Silver Pendant or charm that you wear when not at work, little symbols that are representative of what you believe, and even just standing up for others when the subject arises!

If you are interested in becoming involved in the celebration or would like to know more about the pros and cons of coming out, I would visit this web site: www.Pagancomingoutday.com as they have some very good information for all to read!
