Yesterday I went out into nature. With a back injury that makes it hard for me to do a lot of my Witchcraft getting out to nature can be very hard. My parents have been in town because I have been going through steroid treatments for my heart. Recently it was racing at 239.
Because of everything I have been through I have been facing death as well as life in between the veil. I have challenged some of my own views when it comes to what I believe is my own craft. When it comes to magic itself I am still confused on what magic truly is. We believe we have a idea of magic, but true magic we still never find the understanding.
Take for example yesterday when I was out at Helen Hunt Falls there is a area that has a nice place to sit by the creek. I had a camping chair to try to lean in to help my back. As I sit there I tried to call out to the Lord and Lady of the Forest. I could feel a connection, but I didn't fully understand what that connection was. I felt the water from the creek around me. I felt the sounds of the water rushing off the rocks. I could feel myself being pulled into areas of the creek as if I was slipping between cracks within the veil.
As all this happen my parents were enjoying taking pictures of nature. At one time I felt something hit my head yet I found nothing. I looked around my parents were not there and I was the only one who was there. So what hit me on the head? The only thing I could see were two blue birds dancing around the as I called to Pan.
So was this magic or was this just listening to nature? Did the Blue Birds come out because I was willing to take the chance to listen and calm my surrounding or would they have danced around even if I wasn't there? Symbolism seems to be the most important thing of what we view as magic when we look at Witchcraft. Yet this is more of a personal belief of my own. Many people think this connection is strange, but when I look at the connection I feel a Spiritual opening that comes about me that connects me to my faith.
My opening is that something is there which I do not understand what is fully there. Is it strange for me to believe in magic? Not in this sense because all we are doing is allowing our reality to open up new pathways. This is what we call a Spiritual Journey and if you are willing to take one it can change how you feel about everything around you. Nature itself was untouched by man yet we are only learning now to go back to nature as a journey to find our way back to the Pan.
While one finds their own Spiritual connection what we call God or the Spiritual path seems to reflect our own inner core as a being. Only time will tell what is truly in our heart. No matter if one worships or honors nature our core is who we are and that is what shapes our path. Open the core of your heart and let in the wonders that are out there. So much we miss in life by just not taking time to look at what is around us.
