  • HARMED: The Problem of Warlocks and Demons Harming an Ethical Wiccan

    They had zero interest in planetary activism.
    They only wanted to heal human beings for money.
    They had no interest in Earth Healing Network. In rituals at Earth Healing Temple they pretended to care for the planet while using it for personal gain.


    These were some of my students and employees who received training and initiations as priests at High Priest / Priestess levels but did it just for power. Ethics was the main initiation but they cared just for technical skills. They ignored the core of teachings of Wicca, the Rede (An Ye Harm None Do As Ye Will) and the soulful planetary Healing of nature and Earth, of animals and restoring eco-system stolen and destroyed by humans which is what Wicca is all about.

    They kicked me out soon after they gained powers. They were Warlocks, not witches. They are the ones who steal energy and power from a witch.

    Indians do not consider women or witches as Gurus.
    They consider women as sex objects.
    They respect and touch feet of male turbaned and bearded men or monks only. They give them money and gifts as guru dakshina. They are proud of learning from that guru and praise him profusely. They admire the guru and display gurus photos and seek the gurus blessings as a vip before every venture or decision. At times they worship female Maas or Matas who dress up ìn sarees and tilaks with rudrakshas *Hindu fashion.

    Westerners are worse than Indians. They are demons who kill witches.

    If a woman teaches them spirituality or truth of universe or higher self, they have zero respect in both Indian and Western continents.

    Most of my Wiccan and Tarot students studied Mysticism and Ethics with me, Astrology and Higher Science of the Matrix and Liberation into Truth. They had zero respect for ethics or mysticism both. They only wanted to make quick money by starting a shop. They only wanted to learn skills of how to give readings and attract money, especially stealing my clients using my reputation and based on my PR and hard work filming TV shows over day and night non stop efforts, lots of media interviews, giving free forecasts to media, addressing seminars in halls and universities.


    They used me to sit in my shop while I recorded TV shows to promote the Magick store, India’s first and no. 1 Wiccan store and temple, and they made money by talking my clients into trusting them and giving cheap readings to them at their place or shops.

    They aligned with others when I requested support and franchise network.

    They sucked life out of me as some of them were vampires, so that I had losses and could not afford to pay even basic rent or buy food for my family on becoming a mother of a baby and moving to a new continent against my will. They knew I was not from a rich background and knew they can easily shut my shop if they wanted to harm me.

    It is due to them I shut shop, lost my income source and all my life savings and pensions and became fully dependent on a toxic partner in UK and stayed in a dangerous home with my little baby who was also abused and hit repeatedly along with me. These students and employees had no interest in my welfare, only in making money in my absence from me, so that I have little income of my own, and starting own shops after taking over my email address also.

    After numerous requests my employees who were Rev. Angel Serrao, his friends Laxmi, Poojan my employees have not returned my password of tarotindia@gmail.com and they have used my database of thousands of clients, mobile numbers, email addresses and hundreds of media journalists so that he controls them in his Wiccan Shop since 2016 when he closed my store after deliberate absences and wilful store closures. He used to even lie to people that he was owner or co-founder of Magick when he just came in in 2012 after 4 years of success of Magick, and he was working under me and paid by me on a monthly basis.A

    Another student Isha Mehta after initiations and hands on Wiccan training sitting in my store watching my every move, gaining experience in products and services, promised to handle my store in my absence as a franchise. Then just vanished once I requested she pays for products and rent, and franchise fee. She just wanted to take all my clients and products without paying any deposit. This is why I had to rope in Angel Serrao in her place as she started own shop slyly without information to me dude by side while pretending to be a franchisee under training. She also admitted to having learnt black magic from other Hindu Astrologer man who was her guru and could enter dreams of people to kill them or control their minds, pretending to be a God or Goddess. Can you imagine the lower demonic nature of such beings of underground hell?

    Other students started own shops too after being absent for a number of days and not completing their duties properly. I was upset that one of my loyal employees Anuja used to store my clients mobile numbers in own mobile phone to stay in touch with them against the rules and my handfasted partner asked me to remove her from the job without last month’s pay although I would have wanted her to stay as she was very good at dealing with clients. Later she started retailing similar products in shops such as Pentacle jointly with another student Kareena Khawani who was richer than me. I am happy if they start own enterprises and sorry for the split up, but at least mention where you learnt Wiccan and Tarot work and retail hands on experience, and who was your inspiration, or work together for the planet. We were good together. Why is unity absent when our planet is in danger and we need to work for the greater good? I wish them luck.

    Other stores have started imitating my brand name (legally registered trademark of MAGICK owned by me) selling similar items and services at Magickal Temple of Jyotica Verma/ Thea or Magick of Healing by Leesha Punjabi and numerous other shops imitating registered TM against law since 2014 willingly as they know I am away. But at least they are on good terms with me and not negative. I did not say anything to them about branding although I could have.

    A student Sshivani Kathuria (Dr. Sshivani Kathuria who people say is also into evil magic Aghora against rules of Wicca) started a similar shop Wiccan Altar and asked me to give items worth 35000 rs on credit and returned neither items nor money since 2010 and was insolent and unashamed. I have not met her since then. Besides Aghora tantra is a dirty, unhygenic and evil practice of harming others and not aligned with Wiccan ethics.

    Ethics have always been weak in magical communities full of warlocks and demons in every corner, trying to steal my copyright course material, Book of Shadows, or authored works and pass it on for free to others during Tarot India Network meetups and events under the table, for example in order to copy the courses and present them as their own with no credit to original author, myself.

    All this caused me loss as I was not supported by any family member and my late army officer father had died in 2002 leaving my family poor and struggling economically. Due to economic hardships my younger sister died in 2017 after lack of success in career and living in a 1 bed flat with 4 other adult family members since 1995 in Mumbai when our father retired ftom army as an officer. When I was finally gaining a very small bit of success these students and employees have hurt me and my family incredibly causing 💔 even more misfortunes.

    So many such students responsible for my downfall are sadly remembered. No I do not forget the harm. I may not be angry, but I remember very well and the harm some of you did with your cunning nature will return your way as I do not accept the harm any more. I have suffered enough.


    So I give it all back to you all those who harmed me financially, mentally and subject me to poverty.
    It’s your karma. It is squarely your fault if you are unethical and cheap. A victim should never be blamed.

  • The Creator

    The Matrix is our deeply immersive virtual reality world where our mental data creates neurosimulation, usually subconscious mind data projections. This happens in your dreams. We must remember that ALL the people in a dream are all projections of the dreamer. You can also create your own dream, change your dreams and be lucid.

  • Everything Is Magick

    Not many people know that I handled my late father’s communications agency for six years starting in 2002 when I was 22 years of age as the MD and dealing directly with top corporate heads far older and experienced, training and leading employees older than me …. even teaching as guest faculty at a management institute. Spiritual service always felt much better. Eight years ago I started Magick store. Before that I had already started Tarot India Network and trained many people in meditation, tarot and healing. I juggled the two sides of my life for years…but to start a spiritual store and Wiccan temple in Mumbai meant I had to dedicate time and be there for people personally and full time in the spiritual world. At the peak of my corporate career, I suddenly decided to let go in 2008. I literally left the old me behind and started all over again, financially, mentally and spiritually creating something out of nothing.

    Letting go is easy when you are spiritual, whatever be the temptation, whatever be the attachment to the past you, its a spiritual calling that takes over. Its true that I took almost nothing with me except myself when I began Magick because I wanted to begin totally afresh…and it worked out within a month returning to me much more than what I expected. It added much to my career, whether it was fame or prosperity, the universe just handed over everything to me as usual, and I am grateful as ever. Whether it was my own radio show or TV show, numerous features in leading newspapers or profiling in top magazines, the response of India to this tiny store was amazingly positive and divine.

    Within year of Magick I had made so many new friends and had served so many new people that starting Global Wicca Tradition and teaching its courses was just natural. People simply demanded that I initiate them into my own spiritual tradition. Global Wicca is founded on Wiccan values, even though it is not just any other Wiccan tradition. The values of this spiritual tradition are the inner Self and not just outer nature, self-realization and not just religious rituals, enlightenment and not just the craft. Its a fusion of global spirituality and not just western paganism or eastern spirituality.

    Evolving continually as usual, I am now in London…beginning a new phase and focusing on the next stage of my life, one of motherhood and meditation, writing and passing on my experiences and knowledge to the new generation through Global Wicca which is now shifting base to London. Writing books is perhaps the best way to allow the sacred knowledge to reach out to all those who deserve it. My focus has shifted and so has my location.

    What I am most grateful for is that Magick in Mumbai was the first but not the only Wiccan spiritual store in India…many more were inspired to start new stores and begin temples. The rituals and healing energy sent to earth from Magick was felt and experienced by many more people than I can think of. People learnt and began new stores and temples all around me. Magick was revolutionary and it started a new era of Wiccan awareness in India.

    I do understand that a store like Magick at 16th road Bandra west, Mumbai, which still miraculously runs amazingly well with me far away in London for the last over three years, would at this point need someone local to own it and manage it with full dedication. Someone who has the knowledge, the wisdom, the sincerity and love for Magick. Everything is smooth and easy for the right person. Its an opportunity for me to pass on the baton to someone who can do even better and achieve even more. We now also have an amazon.in storefront of Magick. Serving people is a blessing and if spirituality is your calling you need to put both your feet into it…not worry about how you will run it…how you will manifest the money or success without the safety and security of corporate income…you know someone did it before you and so can you!

    The advise I will give to to my successors is:

    1. You deserve to be happy, healthy, secure and well off. Spirituality is not about sacrifice. Spirituality means there is always enough for you and everyone else.
    2. No-one loses and everyone wins. There is no room for competition, negativity, jealousy, envy, hatred, superiority, anger or malice in spirituality.
    3. Harm none and do as you will. Spiritual power = spiritual responsibility. Anyone who attempts using power harmfully loses power instantly.
    4. Do not be in fear …regarding how will you make money in the spiritual field…regarding how you will find balance between family and spirituality. Everything is possible and you have it in you.
    5. Do not be ashamed to be in a spiritual business. The world needs more spiritual people who are successful…those who can show that it is possible to have peace, love, health, wealth, fame and power…all while remaining loving, compassionate, positive and honest.
    6. Do not be afraid of your inner power. The world needs powerful people who know that real power is within.
    7. Money is not everything. If money was the goal then starting a fast food store would be a better idea in the world of consumerism….yet people like us choose to focus on spiritual work because self-realization is the most important objective.
    8. Do not hide. We need to unite our material and spiritual world as one, without hiding or obscuring our spiritual truth any further. We need to show how to use everything in a spiritual way, whether it is the energy of your home or workplace, fashion or romance, everything can be infused with spiritual awareness. Magick means that spiritual peace can be felt in everything and everyone right now.
    9. Spiritual work is the best way to heal and improve everything and to bring the world together into a new light of self-realization. Love what you do!

    Blessed Be!

  • At The Altar of Truth: Tackling the Problem of ‘Witch’-hunting in India

    At The Altar of Truth: Tackling the Problem of ‘Witch’-hunting in India

    Every once in a while we hear about the terrible ‘witch’-hunts happening in rural areas of India, especially the north-eastern parts.

    The media also regularly reports of ‘witch’-hunting in Africa with countless women and kids being regularly killed or tortured because they were believed to be possessed by evil and to cause harm to the community. The lives of numerous little innocent kids has been threatened due to these terrible misconceptions. The real reason for many of these ‘witch’-hunts is primarily the wrong notions spread through Christian pastors in these countries regarding the word ‘witch’.

    It is necessary to note the the word Witch stems from the word WIT or wisdom. It refers to a person who can advise or help others with day to day problems using practical wisdom, whether by prescribing herbs, stones or spells to bring peace, health and prosperity.It has nothing to do with evil in the literal sense.

    Innocent women wrongly called ‘witches’ have been accused of causing plagues, catastrophes and all manners of evil in the western world too with history as witness. It is a well known fact that the Christian Bible has been laced with ideas regarding killing witches, strongly confusing the word ‘witch’ with harmful sorcery or negative magic. Witch – the once respected icon of feminine wisdom was reduced to an image of ridicule and condemnation burnt at stake for just being.

    witches-253596_960_720

    Yes, that’s what it really boils down to – confusion, misunderstanding and wrong usage of a word, fueled by the wrong notion that something outside needs to be blamed for everything wrong in our life. ‘The Devil’ must have been a very convenient image used to project all the evil in the world onto. In the western world the word ‘Witch’ has been wrongly connected with evil and this fictitious ‘Devil’ for far too long.

    In India the practice of branding women as ‘witches’ is more of a problem of erroneous translation by English media. There is no word such as ‘witch’ in India. What the media is trying to report is the practice of women being branded as ‘daayans’ (women possessed by so called evil spirits or ‘chudaails’). These ‘chudails’ and ‘dayans’ are not really anything compared to modern witches in any case. One such shocking superstitious idea regarding ‘witch’ being an evil spirit called ‘chetkin’ has been wrongly propagated by a so-called ‘spiritual science foundation’ in India. They could not be further from the truth about what the word ‘Witch’ actually means. Erroneous notions spread through centuries have thankfully been shunned and exposed in many parts of the developed world today where Witchcraft is making a comeback in a big way in a much more positive light.

    pagan-altar-1034856_960_720.jpg

    In the west modern witches light incense, candles, pray for prosperity, love or health, smudge their house with aromas and sage, believe in the Goddess just like they believe in God, keep idols of gods and goddesses on their home altars, wear crystals and gemstones for healing, make a wish in their mind as they look at the moon and stars, add healing herbs to food for curing common ailments…. That’s what they call witchcraft today. By those parameters ALL Hindus will be witches automatically. In India there is hardly a household where people do not do all of these things daily. So much for ‘witch’-hunting in India!

    altar-1158827_960_720.jpg

    Those poor women and kids in India and Africa being accused of ‘witchcraft’ probably don’t even know what the word ‘witch’ actually means in its true and literal sense.

    While it is important to stop ‘witch’-hunts across the world through legal means and social activism, it is most important to end the misconception and wrong usage of the word ‘witch’ to mean anything evil. The focus should be on creating awareness about the real meaning of the word ‘witch’ and witchcraft as merely a spiritual practice similar to any meditative or religious rite or ritual. No matter what your spiritual beliefs or practices, everyone indulges in making a prayer or a wish, a blessing or a intention from time to time. Everyone does magic everyday. There is nothing evil or sinister about it.

    witchcraft today.jpg

    The most important thing that people (including those who practice modern witchcraft) need to understand is that EVERYONE in this universe has their own magical power. We ALL have the power to craft our life. There is not a single person in this world who is not really a witch deep within. Being a witch is neither something special or super-natural. Magic is our own natural power present in every being of nature.

    The second thing that everyone (including those who practice modern witchcraft) need to understand is that NO-ONE can truly harm or hurt anyone using any evil power or curse or a negative magic spell. Each person in the world creates their own life, their own destiny. We attract and manifest whatever we think of, resonate with or believe in at a deep level. Those who believe that evil has caused them harm are simply those who have strongly and subconsciously programmed themselves to believe that evil causes them harm. That’s the real reason they ever get harmed. The only person who has any power over your life is YOU – that is the truth, no matter how much you believe in the power of evil magic (erroneously called black magic sometimes). Believe in yourself, in the power of your own inner self – that is the real God or Goddess within you!

    Let us Awaken NOW! Let us end all these superstitions and inspire the world to be more positive and spiritually enlightened. So Mote it Be!
