Two words have recently been presented to me for reconsideration & reclamation.
They are words which I have long avoided in deference to other’s prejudices & fears.
They are words whose meaning encompasses the gifts I hold most dear.
Those words are Witch & Magic.
Today I reclaim those words.
Witch… Magic…
Big words… Powerful words… Scary words…
I used to think that the first thing I ever wanted to be was a trapeze artist. Then I remembered that, even before I wanted to be a trapeze artist at the age of 3, I wanted to be something else... I wanted to be a witch & I wanted magic to be real.
Well, it turns out that magic is real, we just call it by different names now: reiki, acupuncture, herbal medicine, pranayama, gem therapy, chakra balancing, meditation, healing touch.
If you search the online library of the National Institutes of Health, you'll find
articles like this one
that document the beneficial effects of healing touch upon cell growth.We can now document the effects on the brain, endocrine & autonomic nervous system of things like pranayama, meditation & reiki.
Science is finally able to measure the effects of these things and, by doing so, is proving that Magic is Real…
…and I do it. Wooo hoo! I’m a witch!
The realization that I actually AM what I always "wanted to be when I grew up" fills me delight & inspired a little something that's a cross between poetry & prose. Let's call it a rap:
💫 Lucky me! I'm a witch 💫
Lucky me, I’m a witch!
I'm not a wiccan
I don't subscribe to any religion
The spiritual path I follow is my own
I'm a person who does magic
I study everything & find what rings true
I believe in Dharma not Dogma, Truth not Rules
I use my powers for good
I believe in karma
I used to avoid the word Magic
Now I claim the word Magic
I make magic
I own my power
I demystify, illuminate & clarify
I am a Witch, a Light Worker, a Goddess of Fire & Wisdom
I am Force of Nature, a Healer & a Beacon on a Hill
I am here to heal, to guide & to teach
Join me
YOU can do Magic too!
