before Time was, there was The One; The One was all & all was The One. And the vast expanse known as the Universe was The One, allwise, all-pervading, all-powerful, eternally changing. And Space moved. The One molded energy into twin forms equal but opposite, fashioning the Goddess and the God from The One and of The One. The Goddess and the God stretched and gave thanks to The One, but darkness surrounded them. They were alone, solitary save for The One. So they formed energy into gases and into suns and planets and moons; They sprinkled the Universe with whirling globes and so all was given shape by the hands of the Goddess and the God. Light arose and the sky was illuminated by a billion suns, and the Goddess and the god, satisfied by their work, rejoiced, loved and were one. From their union sprang the seeds of life, and of the human race, so that we might achieveincarnation upon the Earth. The Goddess chose the Moon as her symbol, and the God the Sun as his symbol to remind the inhabitants of Earth their fashioners. All are born, live, die and are reborn beneath The Sun and Moon; all things come to pass thereunder, and all occurs with the blessings of The One, as has been the way of existence before time was. From Wicca By Scott Cunningham. I feel that to know who we are, we must know where we come from and thus ultimately work out where we are headed. This is why I choose to include this creation story. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

bide the Wiccan Laws we must In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. Live and let live. Fairly take and fairly give. Cast the Circle thrice about. To keep the evil spirits out. TO bind the spell every time Let the spell be spake in rhyme. Soft of eye and light of touch, Speak little, listen much. Deosil go by the waxing moon, Chanting out the Witches' Rune. Widdershins go by the waning moon, Chanting out the baneful rune. When the Lady's moon is new Kiss the hand to her times two. When the moon rides at her peak, The your heart's desire seek. Heed the North wind's mighty gale, Lock the door and drop the sail. When the wind comes from the SOuth, love will kiss thee on the mouth. When the wind blows from the West, Departed souls will have no rest. When the wind blows from the East, Expec the new and set the feast. Nine woods in the couldron go, Burn them fast and burn them slow. Elder be the Lady's tree, burn it not or cursed you'll be. When the wheel begins to turn, Let the Beltane fires burn. When the wheel has turned to yule, Light the log and the Horned One rules. Heed ye Flower, bush and Tree. By the Ladt, blessed be. Where the rippling waters go, Cast a stone and truth you'll know. When ye have a true need, Hearken' not to others' greed. With a fool no season spend. Lest ye be counted as his friend. Merry meet and merry part, Bright the cheeks and warm the heart. mind the Threefold Law you should, Three times bad and three times good. When misfortune is enow, Wear the blue star on thy brow. True in Love ever be, lest thy lover's false to thee. Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfill: An ye harm non, do what ye will. From GREEN EGG, Vol viii, No.69 (Ostara, 1975) From the article called "Wiccan-Pagan Potpurri" by Lady Gwen Thompson (now deceased), founder and High Priestess of Welsh Tradition Wicca. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| What is Your Witch Potential? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Reincarnation is a basic Tenet of Witchcraft. Those of us fortunate enoughto belong to the craft believe that successive lives are enjoyed under the same zodiac sign. But unlike other ideologies, Withcraft imposes no demands for increasing excellence- only that each life can be lived to it's fullest cpabilities. | Most of us, despite centuries of indoctrination by the mechanised society, still have ties to the earth... some innate Witchcraft potential that can be developed. Take note of your reactions to the following questions: 1 ~ Have you always been intrigued by the occult? 2 ~ Do you prefer night to day? 3 ~ Does a storm stir in you an inexplicable sense of excitement? 4 ~ Are you a sensualist? 5 ~ Have you always felt different from most of those around you, set apart? 6 ~ Do you instinctively respond to animals? 7 ~ Are you comfortable alone? 8 ~ Are you relatively indifferent of material possesions? 9 ~ Have you had fleeting glimpses of former lives? Should you find you can answer most of these questions in the affirmative your witch potential is probably high and should be encouraged There is no church to join, no tribute to pay and no hierarchy to employ. you , and you alone, must concentrate on the development of your other consciousness. go to nature and observe. Attune your inner-mechanism to the quiet pace of the seasons and the procession of the constellations accross the sky. Go alone, or with the person closest to you. Watch the moon rise, walk in the forests. Feel the earth, drink the water, breathe the ai... then light the sacred candles and begin the life you were meant to live.
