Young Witches

It has been very interesting in meeting young witches.By young I mean they have not been in the craft for a long.What they concentrate and want to do is the magick.I have noticed they do not explore the true base of the craft.

For me magick is important but it is not the center of my practice.It enhances my practice.What is the most important is the why a interact with the world around me and I do man the world around me..

The plants and animals are as important to me as people.As I get older and grow in my practice I see that what is important does shift for me.My heart aches when I see what we have done to our surroundings.what we have done to our forests.What we have done to the animals around us.We are destroying so much and each time a portion of the world is destroyed we lose apart of ourselves.There is nothing that is more important than to save what we have for our future and those who will come after us. Every time there is an out cry we lose something dear and close to us.

The wolves are being slaughtered.Cats and dogs are skinned alive for their fur. Whales hunted for there oil. Bears tracked due to "over population". We hunt each other and kill due to differences.Babies cry in hunger and pain. The elderly live in fear.Where has the compassion gone.

I do know that it is there,but sometimes it seems so little compared to the damage being made.
each time we protect,protest and provide we make a change.

Being a witch to me is that.To protect, to protest and to provide.My practice comes from my core and extend out wards.I help younger witches see that our connection with the Goddess and Mother Earth is what being a witch means...
