with that on some sort of profound levels.  Nobody should come between you and that connection.  I KNOW that no matter how you name anything: that you are also one of a multitude of the children of an infinitely diverse ultimate Creator God.  The more souls that LIGHT UP and become more ILLUMINED and enlightened than the Illuminati; the sooner we reach a TIPPING POINT where we shift fully into that higher frequency, vibration or whatever level or cycle your culture calls it.  These are indeed dark times and looking to get worse.  I already know most of that, but I am not defeated yet.  It doesn’t take a majority of true light sources to dispel a great deal of darkness.  I’ve seen lights and I’ve seen arc lamps out there.  As I’ve said: you can take that on multiple levels and it will add up the same way for you.  The truth is that you put entirely too much stock in an ever corrupting system, whether I am speaking of your education, religion, false science, commercial banksters, politicians, clerics, or whatever; the light will always show it for what it is, and once you’ve seen that for yourselves: you can never go back into the Matrix and continue as its puppet.  It’s SPELL on you is forever BROKEN!  One of many ways or another, we are very likely to be seeing each other anew in a brighter paradigm before all of this is through.  I’m loving that idea!

 

 

The Parable of Mr. What and Mr. Why

                        

                                                                              

        Time and again in forums and in stories and articles I've put about, I've always spouted my warnings for witches who buy spell books or rely heavily upon such things. Not that I don't believe in good spellwork. I believe more than most of you in the efficacy of a good spell. My issue with the spell books is that too many wannabe witches will take that spell as the end all solution to any particular problem and create more trouble for themselves for doing so and never get a clue as to WHY all this happened to them to begin with. NOT *wise* at all.  I need to take a moment here, to instruct you in the thinking processes as a superior witch might use. 

        I've always said that it is not enough to know WHAT, but the superior witch will know WHY a thing is so. There's wisdom in those words and wisdom is the word we get our labels of witches and wizards from. So it stands to reason that if we are called such, that we should have some. A witch who gets a solution from a spell book, knows "what" (probably drivel, or probably some deep wisdom in there, but they missed it in the ceremony somewhere). I'm going to paint a bit of an analogy here to illustrate WHAT I mean and WHY it is so.

                                         *     *     *

        Mr. What found himself at the base of a wooded hill on an overcast day, and realized that he was very much lost. He was not stupid or an unlearned man by anyone's standards and very well read in a number of subjects. A jack-of-all-trades, he had been called on many an occasion. He knew that the northern borders of the national park he was lost in was bordered by rough, mountainous terrain. It was no place that he wanted to go. He also remembered as he viewed the map in his memory, that the park was bordered on the eastern side by a highway. Where ever he was in the park, if he continued going east, he would have to meet up with that highway sooner or later. The problem was, how to determine which way was east with no compass, moon, stars or sun to give him a clue?

Fortunately, he recalled reading that moss ALWAYS grows on the north side of the tree. WHY this was so, he had no idea, but figured it might be due to some inherent magnetic quality of the moss or the trees. Looking at the trees before him, he noticed which side the moss was on and determined if that was north, then by facing north (which he certainly did NOT want to go) then east would be to his immediate right hand. A clever man, our Mr. What, and not to allow himself to go off course, he faced north, as he knew it and picked out the tallest tree he could see to his right hand and steered himself a course directly to it, and then to the tallest object beyond this and continued until he came out of the woods at the base of the mountains that he did not want to travel to, with miles of rough terrain to negotiate in any direction, and little strength to do it.

        Mr. Why was traveling these same woods, when he came to the identical wooded hill as his predecessor, and realized that he too was lost. He too had read that moss grows on the north side of tree trunks, but he also knew WHY that adage was *mostly* true. There were no magnetic qualities to the moss or the trees, but that in the northern hemisphere, the southern side of the trees from east to west, was the sunny side of the trees, and the moss preferred the shadier northern side to thrive on, as this is not a plant that does well in direct sunlight. Looking at the trees at the base of the hill before him, he ruled out these as good examples because regardless of compass directions, the hill at the back of these trees, was going to provide a perpetual shadow for the moss to thrive in. Instead, he moved to the trees at the top of the hill, that would get nearly unobstructed sunlight from whatever direction it came from, and then determined by the evidence of the moss, which side was the northern exposure. He then determined from this which way was east, set his landmarks and hiked a couple hours before he intersected with the highway.

        Mr. What knew just enough to get himself in deeper trouble. Mr. Why knew how to deal with the trouble at hand. A spell book may give you many interesting options, but if you know HOW and WHY a spell works, you can craft your own, to suit the situation that you are actually in, and not a generic piece of information that might actually dig yourself in deeper. The practice of keeping a notebook or a Book of Shadows is intended to give the diligent witch, a leg up on what works for what situation and WHY. From this information, the proper course can be set to get our intrepid witch where they want to go and not someplace worse than when they started.

 

The Difference Between a Witch and Warlock

The Context of Unbroken Will and Word 

      The truest dangers of sworn blood oathes in modern society and government, is that too few people take them seriously anymore.  In America, we consider ourselves a "christian country".  It is three thousand miles wide, from coast to coast.  But only a quarter inch deep.  Even the Bible says that it is better not to swear ANY vows at all, than to swear one before God, and not keep it.  And by the MILLIONS, christian couples will swear the holiest vows before God, and men in holy matrimony, and MOST will break those vows in a year or two and split up.  And rather than right this terrible wrong; they'll protest any other couple's right to marry as "against God's will".  They will rabidly point fingers and NONE will account for their own sins, nor do they want to.  We understand why this is so. 

KJV John 3:20

 20.  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

      Even among the pagans, who have dominated the world culture so many millenia before christianity, had a very strong focus on the value of unbroken vows.  Among Danaan witchery:  a witch's power is manifest in their unbroken Will and Word.  To be considered "wise", you had to be formidible this way.  Even among the non-witches, and the artisans:  It was best for a thriving profession, if you were known for this trait.  The following picture is a signing of what many know as "Witch's Honor".  It signifies that no matter who is watching,  both visible and invisible, that their Will and Word remain unbroken.

Among the great cities of ancient times:  If a city had a library, it had a university, because the library provided the curriculum.  Many doctors even today, are known for their "Hippocratic oathes" (most break them at will anyways, but there's the tradition).  If one graduated the university, there was next the "mystery schools" of higher learning.  But one could not study in one, without taking a blood oath to use what craft they learned there, for the benefit of their communities, and not for profit at the expense of others.  All witches, druids, sages and mages were bound by the same oathes.  Among those, were unscrupulous magi that broke with the tradition, and decided to use their craft to glorify and enrich their own coffers at the expense of everyone.  Among the Keltoi, a new term was coined in gaelic:  "warlock"  meaning: Oath breakers.  They met in secret, as they were an anathema to everyone they came into contact with.  Their "holy language" was Latin: the TRADE language of bankers and scholars of the day.  It speaks volumes, about what they truly valued above all of the wisdom they learned in such schools.

      Among the sages, it is considered as fact that one can never serve TWO masters.  God or wealth (Mammon) has ALWAYS been a proven corruptable mixture.  Jesus, himself spent no little bit of time railing
