Many people wonder exactly how their thoughts and emotions focused on bringing love into their life (for example), can actually make real love happen. This interplay between energies is where your belief in a higher power comes into play in Wiccan witchcraft.
There are mysterious forces at work when you put your focused thoughts and emotions to work. Whatever your specific beliefs, there are things in this world that defy our logic and understanding. If you are like me, you have the feeling that there is “something that looks at me with contempt”, sometimes even that protects you from harm.
No matter what your specific magical path becomes, you will soon begin to realize that this same “higher power” has some control over the interaction of your magical energy with events in your life and in the world.
The core you can’t ignore on your witchcraft path
There are many things involved in being a Witch, no matter what specific path you take. Some of them change depending on your path (which I will go over in detail in my Home Academy), but there is one “core” thing you must follow.
This “core” is where you draw all your power, all your magical energy. And neglecting it will cause the work of your magic spell to stop in its tracks. Nothing will work without this central connection.
This core that I keep talking about is your connection with nature, above all. I’m not saying you need to move into the woods and build a makeshift cabin out of pine branches. But you must dedicate yourself to nature and try to expose yourself to it every day.
It can be as simple as finding a special tree in your backyard and spending time with it several times a week (as I show you in the daily nature devotional later in this book).
You have to understand that you come from nature, just like the energy you control. Connecting with nature on a weekly basis will increase your bond with nature and allow you to more easily tap into its hidden energy.
Think of nature as your protector and your giver of special powers. You wouldn’t ignore someone special, like your best friend, right? In the same way, ignoring nature – your protector, your giver of special powers – would be to “give up” your magical powers altogether.
Magick Tidbit # 1: Please, for the sake of this beautiful world we live in, take responsibility to help protect nature. Support all efforts to preserve nature around the world and do your part to keep our world beautiful.
So keep an eye on the daily nature devotional below to find out how to strengthen your connection with nature to be more successful with your magic and spell work.
Lastly, throughout your reading of this book, and your Magick workings beyond, always keep in mind your connection to nature. If you pay attention and nurture your connection, nature will allow you to bring your dreams into your life. It will allow you to create your miracles, just remember that.
