Hocus Pocus

I am reading How To Be A Wicked Witch by Patricia Telesco. It outlines the basics of witchcraft and how to use it. For those of you who are thinking that I have fallen into a dark hole of evil doing, have no fear. Wicca, Witch Craft, White Magic, whatever you want to call it, is actually a love centered religion that honors Mother Nature. One of the main tenets of Wicca is that you do no harm to others or yourself and that all deeds come from love and goodness. The book has a fun and positive spin that encourages the reader to find their own magic and way. What I like about Wicca is that it fosters a sense of oneness with the earth and the gifts it has to offer us. The practitioner is empowered due to the power of intention and positive thoughts. I believe spells are like prayers because the premise is the same. You are setting the intention for positive change and help. I also like the use of plants and tapping into their properties. Plants, like humans, have life and purpose. One of their purposes is to help heal us and keep us healthy. Using plants, positive thought and respecting oneself and others is right up my alley. Don't worry you won't have to burn me at the stake just yet!!!
