Did She Use One of Her Witch Spells On Me?

I had been learning for about a year. I was yet to perform my first witch spells and had been prepping myself for the occasion.

Doing dishes, running errands, taking care of the horse and a whole raft of other really, I thought, ridiculous things. Gathering plants and finding out the difference between night shade and different kinds of cohosh.

It reminded me of Mr. Miagi in the Karate kid, wax on wax off. It was actually that silly.

What I did learn was plants and their use, what to use them in and when to harvest them. It was all a part of the learning curve. A pretty brutal one I might add. If you’ve ever read Carlos Castaneda’s works with Don Juan the Jacqui sorcerer you might understand.

My teacher at the time was a very harsh woman. Quite the task master and didn’t put up with much from me. Yet her counter part, a priest of some note was the gentlest bear of a man you’d ever meet. Patient and understanding taking the time to explain the reasoning behind a lot of what I was doing.

Between the two of them I got a great deal of knowledge during my five year stay. I saw things that most would tell you is not possible, yet I was there I saw it.

Like the night we were all sitting around the fire and talking about shape shifters, the good and the bad of it. My teacher asked a question then directed my gaze to the other side of the fire. When I turned back I was looking at a jet black panther sitting where she had only moments ago been. Bizarre, yes, and I sat there memorized not really sure what I should do only knowing that I wasn’t about to unlock my gaze from the panthers'. It stared right through me I swear.

I heard my name called and turned to where it was coming from behind me. It was M. calling and he was smiling saying it was alright and I had done well. I turned back to find her sitting in her spot, smiling at me and poking at the fire.

All of us then burst our in laughter and I breathed a sigh of relief.

He explained that it had been a test of sorts to see my reaction before they took me to the next step; I had passed with flying colors apparently.

Which Spells, Can They Change Your Life?

Well there are some that would agree and some would say that you’re full of it. Ask a witch and they are sure to tell you they work. I’m here to confirm it.

At the very least, I know that learning about then changed the way I approach different areas of my life.

It’s a more organic and natural approach to things. After all the origins of the Craft are in nature it so there must be something to it. The use of the five elements, earth, water, fire, air, spirit, all combine to create something. It’s what the New-Agers all call the law of attraction, only more.

Using our inherent connection to nature we are more inclined to flow in a natural state. Being more aware of the possibilities and potential around us. To see beyond the usual and the mundane.

During my years as a student of The Craft, I was to bear witness to a great many things that years before I would have said were impossible. Yet they happened. It was to be that way for the five years I was the student of a third degree high priestess, white witch.

The first thing she taught me was patience. Oh did I learn patience.I was wanting to get into the witch spells and potions part before my time. Running before walking you could say. Without a leg to stand on and the dangers of it were explained to me by a friend of hers that she introduced me to. He told a story of when he had first been learning on the Isle of Mann in England as a young man. He and a friend had gone to perform a ritual in a cave without the necessary knowledge of what they were to do, not fully. Well only one of them came out of the cave. So yes the information that you acquire from learning about witchcraft can have dire consequences.

My advice is to learn as much as you can first before getting too out of hand. Not to frighten you or anything, but forewarned is forearmed. Like any other craft or skill there is preparation involved. It would be a while before I performed my first spell, and even then not alone.

I got a good understanding first of what was what. The differences between invocation and evocation, elementals and different herbs and their uses. Plants and what they represented or could be used for. Tools and focusing, why they were important and why eventually I would no longer need them.

All in all it was a great learning experience that opened my eyes to possibilities. Both inside myself and in the world around me. I’ll tell you a walk in the woods was never the same after that first year.
