Meditation

Before you proceed to any ritual you must learn how to meditate. It is necessary for one so that he/she may be able to achieve the stat of mind needed for the said ritual. If you are a natural this should be easy for you if you are not well practice makes perfect.

To meditate you must sit in a comfortable position. Inhale slowly for 9 counts then hold your breath for another 9 counts and then exhale slowly for another 9 counts. Clear your mind as you’re doing this. Concentrate on seeing nothing but darkness, everything that you see is only black. If thoughts enter your mind let them pass, don’t think about them. Do this for 15 minutes everyday until you have mastered this. If you have mastered this then do this for a longer amount of time, practice that until you can last hours doing just this. Make sure that you do not fall asleep.

Once you have mastered this practice and master doing this in a lotus position.

On your mastery of this there would be a time that you will be presented with a gate, door, arc or any form of entry. Once this happens evaluate how you feel about such that is presented to you. If you don’t feel good about it then erase it in your thoughts and concentrate on seeing nothing but darkness. If you feel good about it then feel free to enter, but don’t force entry if ever it’s locked. Concentrate on nothing but darkness.

If you were able to enter take note of every scenery and step you take. It is best that you remember the path that you took for you to be able to run back if something unexpected happens. It is advisable that you be careful because you are not traveling in a world that is like ours.

In your journey if you happen to cross to an entity pay respect by looking into their eyes and by bowing your head towards them. This would imply that you mean no harm, do this only if you feel that they also don’t mean harm and that they bring you no danger. If you feel otherwise then head back at once if they haven’t seen you, if they have then pay respect and head back, don’t pay attention to what they will tell or offer you, gently say you have to leave then leave. Don’t let them lure you. For once they have you in their hands this could mean your distraction. Once you’re back to the point of entry envision it to be closed and when it’s closed concentrate on darkness again.

If they mean no harm and they speak to you listen to their words intently and don’t forget them. If they offer you something make sure that it would not cause you something that you cannot give or worse your life, make sure that their intent is clear before taking anything from them. If they offer you to be lead elsewhere do the same thing before following them. If ever something goes wrong do what I have stated above, head back and close the portal.

If everything goes smoothly and you wish to leave or you are told to leave then once again pay respect to the, head back and close the portal. When this is done relax and ponder about your experience. If you have been given a task and you have accepted it, then think of ways that you could do it soon. For giving out your word is crucial, not doing what you promised would put you in grave danger.

If something did not go right and you headed back don’t worry for the right portal will come to you. Same goes for those who has not seen anything yet. Anyways meditation is about attuning yourself. These are just special cases.

There are instances wherein one would see not a portal but a thing, an animal, an entity or anything is possible. In such instances still evaluate if whether what you have in front of you is good or bad. If you feel bad envision it gone, if you feel good then just remember to guard yourself from any possible danger, keep your eyes open, don’t let them lure you into their tricks and pay respect before you proceed to do what you have to. Once you are done envision it to be gone and that there is nothing but darkness surrounding you. Make sure to close any portal if there is any for this would stop them from following you into our world.

It is important to end with beginning so to complete the cycle, to put an end to whatever took place may it be good or bad. Leaving without properly ending what you have had could bring you harm, it is better safe than sorry. Also it is important to keep a journal as for you to keep track of your journey and for you to have something to evaluate on as to whether what has took place would do you good or not, whether you should continue seeing them or not, it would help you in your judgment.

Yours truly,

Learning

After a couple of months of misuse of my gifts and knowledge I was struck by an accident that changed my view in life and the way that I used my gifts. It was something that I would never forget and it was the lesson that I will always remember.

One night as I was on my home I was blocked by a number of entities. Apparently not all those that are not of our kind are friends some would mean harm and some are simply mischievous. They were creatures that I have never encountered before, I have never seen anything like their kind until that night. I was surprised and terrified by their sudden appearance. The looks on their faces told me that they meant harm and that they were also know what I’m feeling that moment, and there on their faces was a grimace for my fear.

There was 5 of them and I was alone. I gathered my strength, faced them and asked them what they wanted and who they were. They laughed at me for my questions and answered me a question in return.

“Why young girl are you afraid when we have seen you confidently using your powers against others, although that was really childish of you.” One said, one which had a very horrible face, a face full of scars.

“Oh, you don’t know us of course young one, but we do know you so well. Why are you still surprised? Haven’t you heard about us?” the other said, she was so beautiful that I found it hard to believe that she meant harm.

“What do you plan to do now? Aren’t you going to call your friends? Aren’t you going to use your power against us?” another said, he looked middle aged and strong. It seemed like he had more authority than the others.

I fell utterly silent, I ran out of words. I felt like I was suffocated, I find it hard to breathe and I can’t move. I tried to move my fingers but I wasn’t able. I tried to cast a curse against them by making my mind scream but it didn’t do anything. My mind raced about what to do next. I was about to lose hope when someone came to my rescue. A woman whom I have been seeing in my grandmothers house came to help me. She was alone but her presence was enough to make them leave. I was never able to see that woman up close not until that night. As she arrived the smiles on their faces was lost. But then someone spoke.

“Ah, you came we knew someone would come to help her, we didn’t know you would come yourself, you rarely leave that house.” The guy with authority spoke with a mocking smile on his face.

“Oh well it seems like we could have you tonight little girl, you’re lucky your friend has come here to rescue you. ‘Til then little girl, we’ll see you again someday.” The fair girl spoke.

“You could never protect her forever you know that, you could never stop her from becoming what she is meant to be, and you could not change what she already is. One day we’ll come back for her and we’ll take her with us. Teach her well the child has to know what you’re hiding from her. Better ready her for things that she doesn’t know but will come for her. Her life would be full of chaos that is her fate, it would do her good if you tell her everything you know. Lying from her would only harm her, we know her better than you. ‘Til then.” the guy with authority spoke towards my rescuer.

“Yes you’re right I could never protect her always, but I will protect her until I can. Perhaps I could not change what she already is but I could stop what she could become and you’ll see that when you come back. You need not tell me what we should teach her for we will teach her what she needs to learn in time, and she will know everything in time. Leave her alone as she grows, come back when she has grown and it will be her who will decide whom will she be with. Rather than harm her to try her skills you should know better, if you believe in what you were told. Instead of snatching her away when it’s not yet time let her be safe with us, help us protect her from the others we all know they will come for her too but we don’t know how strong they could be. We allow you to send someone to watch over her and protect her, in that way you would know how she is doing but I warn you, if you ever dare to harm her then we will fight for her. She is precious to us as she is to you, you could trust us with her, we will take care of her well.” She answered calmly, with grace and poise, her tone full of dignity, authority, pride and confidence.

“Ah but what then did we come here for?” the other said protesting, he was young just a few years older than me I could say.

“Let us go.” An old woman said. She spoke with a firm and authoritative voice. All the time she was silent, she was just eyeing me intently.

“’Til then little one.” The fair one said smiling.

They nodded towards each other and then the one who seemed to have the most authority nodded towards my rescuer and she nodded in return, and with that they left. As they left a stone fell on the ground, there was nothing unusual to it. It looked just like the other ordinary ones that you would see on the ground, except that it was sparkling, it looked like it was surrounded with glitters.

“Pick that up and keep that safe.” She said.

Obediently I picked up the stone and placed it inside my pocket. Then I turned towards her with eyes full of questions. And before I spoke she cut me off.

“There is no time for your questions tonight, in time you will have answers to your questions. You are tired from what just happened, but please for tonight just rest. Now let us get you home before your parents start to worry.” She walked me home and all the time that we did I kept my mouth shut. As we arrived home she spoke to me one’s more.

“From what happened tonight I hope this would serve as a warning to you. It is not safe for you to go wandering around alone especially during nights. Take greater precautions every time you leave the house. And as much as possible don’t leave the house alone. It would be better if you tell your parents about it tonight don’t keep it to yourself. And lastly stop the mischievousness it would bring you more trouble than you imagine. Now go.”

Once again I followed her instructions and went inside the house with no questions. My parents was surprised to see my face, they said that I was pale and for a tan girl like me that was not normal. My mom was there for she was on break from her work so we had the chance to be with her for a month and after that she’ll leave the town again. After feeling warm and comfy, and after I’ve eaten I told my parents what happened. I showed them the stone that I got. They told me exactly the same thing that my rescuer said and so I went up to my room and went to bed. I was restless that night sleep was hard for me. As my eyes were about to shut, I heard my parents arguing. Quietly I sneaked out of my room and listened to their argument.

That night I was surprised by what I heard. I got answers for some of my questions, some of the things that they talked about frightened me. But some of the things that they talked about left me even more inquisitive. I went back to my room having more questions on my mind, I took out the stone that I hid in one of my precious items storage box. I fell asleep staring at it.

As I woke up there were secrets that I uncovered and the words that was told to me stayed on my mind until this day. I went to school just like a normal kid but I didn’t harm anyone. I left the bullies alone, it was hard for me to be patient with them but I was afraid to use my gift on them. And another journey begun.

The New Life

Summer has ended it was time for us to go home for school was waiting for us back home. As we arrived true to their word my friends showed up once again. Since then it was the right time for then I was starting my journey and I have knowledge of what I am.

But what am I really? Accompany as I journey into the realms that is unknown to most of us, join me as I uncover the secrets of the old ages that is hidden in the darkest places, where no man dares to reach. Be with me as the truth as revealed to me in my search for more knowledge about the world which is hidden from the human eyes. Be with me in my quest. Together let us discover the mystery behind the taboo culture of the society and secrets behind those ancient pillars.

With the help of my friends I gained a deeper understanding of what I really am. Now a days the most common name for those who have ESP (extra-sensory perception) like me are psychics. Those who has the capability to make something manifest through spells and curses are either known as witches or necromancer or sorcerer. Those who are known to worship the goddess and other gods are known to be wiccans or pagans. Those who worships Lucifer and other dark gods are known to be Satanists. Those who can heal spiritually or through ways which are not scientific are called shamans. Is this definition enough to understand and differentiate one from the other? The answer is NO! For this definition is not even near enough to it’s true nature.

Let’s start from knowing what a witch really is. A witch is a term used to call both a man and a woman who are gifted with special knowledge, skills and power to heal and help.

A psychic on the other hand is a person who is sensitive to spiritualistic forces, a medium, a clairvoyant. A psychic focuses on developing and using his/her extra-sensory perception. A psychic usually does not follow any path in the craft, for they attune themselves more in their gifts.

A necromancer summons spirits for multiple reasons. A necromancer practices dark arts which is commonly known black magic. Dark arts is not as bad as everyone thinks and I will explain the later.

A sorcerer is an individual who possesses the technical ability that enables them to supply recipes or perform rites or rituals which they make profit with by selling their service. On the other hand a sorcerer is a priest of a special caste who is responsible for their religious rites, for divination and for interpreting dreams.

A wiccan believes in a divine force or power as the source of all. The world and all the aspects of the world are sacred to them. A wiccan uses ancient and modern ceremonies, rituals and shamanic practices to attune themselves to the natural rhythms of nature, the world, and the universe in their efforts to commune with this divine force. All wiccans adhere to one ethical precept “though it harm none, do thy wilt.”

A pagan lives a spiritual life which ways was rooted in the ancient nature religions of the world. They celebrate the sanctity of Nature, revering the Divine in all things; they seek spiritual union with the Divinity by attuning with the tides of Nature and by exploring their inner selves, seeing each reflected in the other.

A Satanists is person who regards Satan as a person with values such as pride, independence, individuality, knowledge, achievement, thinking for oneself, exploring the unknown and forbidden realms. Though there are different kinds of Satanists majority are people who simply does not accept Christianity and sides with the other guy.

A shaman is a person who sees into the sacred world, he could heal others and the earth. He is capable manifesting into reality that which he sees on the astral plane.

I hope that this has enlightened you, these are just some of the terms and paths that are used and followed in witch craft. By the way what is witch craft?

Witch craft is a religion. It is an earth based religion, in some ways similar to Native American spirituality. It is the term used for the various historical, anthropological, religious and mythological contexts which uses certain kinds of magick.

Now that you are familiar with these terms let us continue on our journey.

So what am I really? I am a witch and I follow no certain path for following a path would be like following a religion. As free as we are we have the right to choose which path to follow or whether we follow a path or not at all. Just like the other of my kind I prefer to be a free lancer yet I follow the wiccan rule for I believe that my purpose for having these gifts is to help and not to harm. There is no need to follow a certain path when you are a witch. Some though find it necessary to find a path, for this would help them in attuning themselves more with nature and in developing their gifts.

I depended more on to my friends in helping me discover more about who I am. I opted to study and develop my gifts on my own for I avoided the hassle of having had to argue with someone whenever what I was about to do was disagreeable for them.

Being new to the world of craft I explored my capabilities and as much I as regret today I have harmed a couple of people. But I only harmed those who has hurt me with my powers I made my revenge on them. For a few months this was what I did, but then something happened that made me realize what I was doing was wrong and that I was abusing the gift which was given to me.

The Beginning

It all started back when I was young. I grew up in a town full of mysteries and in a house full of entities that is not our kind. Back when I was young I have been seen a couple of time playing with what some would call dwarfs and ghosts. This was nothing to me then for I was young and didn’t know what I was doing. My parents had no problem with me being surrounded by this mythical creatures, they were even glad that I had these friends who could protect me, against those of their kind who might harm me.

Indeed they were of great help to me for then I had been cursed by some dwarfs whom I had unintentionally disrespected. But thanks to my friends I was not placed in grave danger but I had an incurable disease. I was brought to the best physicians in the country but they had no cure to my illness nor did they find any scientific explanation for such disease. Devastated my parents brought me home to our hometown. As we waited for my death an old friend came to visit, he was one of the indigenous people whom my mom has helped in being sent to school. Growing up in the mountains he had a broad knowledge about paranormal things for they believed in it. Having known my condition he suggested that I be checked by a psychic. My parents as desperate as they were agreed to have a psychic check me, then graciously he offered to help us out in that. In their tribe they have an elder which is their healer and he brought him to us.

I have disturbed the peace of the entities making them angry and causing them to curse me. They were even more enraged when I did not die, when my friends protected me. We made a sacrifice in exchange of my life, so that they would lift their curse. After all the rituals was done my aunt who does not believe in paranormal was cursed next. She was bothering every ritual that we had and because of that they got mad at her they gave her a lesson. They showed up themselves to her and made her paralyzed for a couple of days. And when they lifted their curse they told her that they careless if she believes them or not but since she has a bit of knowledge that they exist they want nothing but respect. After that incident my aunt has never contradicted any paranormal practice.

But after that incident I rarely see my friends anymore. For sometime they stopped seeing me to avoid any conflict between and to avoid any further harm to me, promising to be back on the right time or when I needed them. And I lived a life of a normal kids afterwards, my parents brought me out a lot and made me mingle with kids of my ages. But they were no fun for me, I found the elders a better company.

Unknowingly that incident my made my aunt interested about paranormal and so she searched and started using the knowledge that she has gained. On my 6^th birthday she gave me a gift which was unexpected, it was ticket to visit her for the summer and a necklace full of precious stones. It was then I was starting to understand everything that’s happening around me and I was growing my consciousness about my surroundings, she knew about that. So the summer after the school year I rode the plane along with my sister and met her and my mom at the airport. It was a fine day we roamed around the city and went to my cousins place because it was her birthday. Beyond our knowledge something was to happen that night that would change our lives.

As the night started to fall she brought us in a place that looked like a temple. After a couple of minutes of silence one by one, my sister and I was called by an old man. He talked to me and asked me a few things. With his questions and the reactions of my mother and aunt with my answers it was then that I understood what was happening. He was evaluating me, he was checking my capabilities and my gifts. After the questions we had some tests for him to confirm everything. I was not yet aware of what was awaiting for me then. But then all throughout the test it was the first time that I have taken notice of my mothers eyes. It was the first time that I’ve seen her look at me that way, she looked at me with her very loving eyes. A few hours after my sister and I was evaluated they had a talk and we went home afterwards.

The heat of the city was unbearable for my sister and I who was used to a cold climate, which was why even with the air conditioner turned on we found it hard to sleep. It was late and my cousins who were only a few houses away were fast asleep so my sister and I amused ourselves with the things that was on my aunts sala. Around midnight we were called in the backyard. And their under the moon I saw clearly the circle that was made by my aunt. We had a ritual then, and since we didn’t know what to do we just followed their instructions, and their instruction was simply to relax, and do everything we’re asked in the way we want. That was weird, but then now I know why that was the instruction that was given to us. We were to freely release our energy and unleash the powers within us, the controlling was the task of my mother and aunt.

During the ritual my sister and I has seen entities that we have not yet seen in our lives, we have felt differently. The ritual went well, it consumed our energies that my sister and I felt sleepy afterwards. But that was not yet the end of it. For as we got in our room before we slept we were presented with different kinds of stone, stones that are rare, the kind that I don’t see in jewelry shops. After we have chosen we were told to put the stones beneath our pillows and we will have another journey as we sleep. But before the lights were closed we were told why it was us who has to choose the stones and why there wasn’t any stone waiting for us. But I will explain that later when I get to that topic, gems and crystals.

That night just like what my aunt has said we traveled through our dreams. It was the first astral travel that my sister and I have paid attention to. In that travel we entered different doors and traveled in different places but in the end learned the same thing. In our travel our gifts was explained to us, it was explained to us why only a few are gifted with such gifts. We then fully understood of what we are. A lot of paths were laid out for us to follow it was then up to us to choose which to follow or whether we follow any or not at all. After that journey my sister and I felt like we were reborn. That was then the start of my journey as a witch, that was the start of my new life.
