  • Witches and Their Familiar Animals

    Witches and Their Familiar Animals

    Do you believe we are magical beings?

    If yes, did you think only human beings are magical?

    Animals of non human species are powerful beings with magic in them just like us. They all have their free will and creative energy.

    Respect of each person’s free will is most important in witchcraft as it’s all about free will and crafting a chosen reality out of your will as well as not harming others in the process (the Wiccan Rede). No one should be treated as an object or owned or forced to live with us against their will, or forced into becoming our companion animal, or farmed animal, or domesticated slave, or our victim to be bred, used, traded, or killed (not even to become food or pets).

    Witches don’t usually prefer to have ‘pets’. We may at times have familiars, i.e. some animals who are free to come and go as they please as per their own free will, and are willing to be with you if they like to. Not confined in a small space indoors ideally, although they might be indoors if they are happy. Not domesticated. Not owned.

    Contrary to what religions have claimed, witches do not work with demons or any devil, and their familiar animals are not their slaves, servants, or ‘demon spirits’ on animal form who do their bidding.

    Familiar, as the word indicates, is a term that simply means someone who is seen around or known to you. Often an animal from the neighbourhood might like you or spend some time with the you…as many animals can sense energy and know whom to trust, therefore those who have spiritual (magical) or healing energy can often attract various animals from time to time. Sometimes someone brings them to you especially because they felt they should. The bond needs to develop naturally. I always had a stray animal or two wandering around deciding to enter my home and live with me, or someone brought an injured one to me. Often pigeons walked into my rooms when hurt, or a cat or dog in Mumbai where so many were on streets. I always felt bad that humans have brought so much sorrow to them by not thinking about their needs and focusing only on our own desires.

    Sadly religions have destroyed free will, and stopped humans from using our own good sense. They have also created an illusion that other animals are below humans and are made to serve our wants. Most of the negative beliefs regarding humans being superior, made in the image of an all powerful lord who is a singular creator, and that it’s ok to harm, kill, breed, farm, and use other animals, are from religions who have destroyed sense and sensibility, and taken away our intuition, empathy, and natural inner power from us.

    We are all animals. We all have a sixth sense and magic inherent in us. Let’s use these powers well for the betterment of ourselves and all beings.

  • How Do We Manifest Reality?

    It’s Witchcraft!! Except, that it’s not.

    Teen Witch movie reminded me, I always had this power to think and make something happen. Like a switch you turn on or a computer button to get an output, there is a power in every person in the world. Our mind and emotions.

    I decided to pursue a higher research degree in Psychology this year and was preparing for IELTS which is a requirement. It was really tough in the computer practice tests at home, so I did a spell quickly at the venue in my mind on the computer and made the final test super easy for me. I went to eat out at lunchtime and thought about how the speaking test would be. I heard a voice inform me to talk about Tarot Reading (I do hear prophecies). I then thought that perhaps the examiner should ask me about food and veganism. On returning to the test centre I was called for the interview round and he asked me exactly about that. First he asked me about my profession which is Tarot reading, and then entirely about food and veganism.

    Once last year in summer I was eating falafel wraps at a stall and suddenly thought, ‘Well, that is a nice dish to cook and I wish I could wear that pretty apron and work there for a bit and learn how it’s done.’ I pictured myself wearing that apron. Suddenly the chef came over and I complimented him on the colourful apron. He said, perhaps I could wear it someday and work there. Of course I couldn’t do it for too long as he was also serving halloumi wraps that aren’t vegan and I quit.

    Do this yourself.
    Try to create an image in your mind of what you want to do, where you want to be, how you want to enjoy life, or meet people, and make it as colourful and clear as you can. It must be something that feels good and that you are emotionally drawn to. Then let me know what happened.

    Remember that even those things that emotionally upset us happen to come true.

    Infact, anything and everything happening around us is always, related to our feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and worries.

    This is a super fact that if everyone knew about, we could solve the mystery of the universe.

    Also very important is, not to waste time thinking of romance or relationship with particular persons, as this is a sure way to invite trouble into your life. Focus only on yourself and how you wish to feel instead of controlling someone.

    Try to manifest something positive.

    Blessed Be!!

  • Only You

    You listened to my every thought
    You made all wishes true
    I called it Magick
    But it was only You

    You showed me your face
    You laughed and you smiled
    You peeled off your skin
    You opened my eyes

    I feared you and hesitated
    Thought of what I should do
    The only thing I ever needed
    Is this Love I feel for You

    Thank You
    Because its You and only You

  • She Has No End

    She is the spider, She is the web

    She is the weaving of the thread

    She is the God and Universe

    She is creation, Om-niverse

    She is the dreamer and the dream

    She is each ripple and the stream

    She is the dancer and the dance

    Dancing in her endless trance

     

    She is the beginning in each ending

    Light forever flowing bending

    She is the matrix you cannot escape

    She is your Self beyond each shape

    She was not born, she will not die

    For she is the mother of ‘you’ and ‘i’

    The tree of life and the life of tree

    She is the Only energy

    The is the space, she is the sound

    She is the lost, the seeking, the found

    She is the part and the sum and the whole

    She is the actor, the play and each role

    She is the story you cannot tell

    She is the treasure you cannot sell

    The nothing hiding in everything

    The silent song we always sing

    She is the truth in every lie

    The laughter in every tear and cry

    The sun shining through the stormy rains

    The happiness within the pain

    The love that masquerades as hate

    She is your Will revealed as fate

    She is freedom in each cage

    The peace and calm within each rage

    She is the Self you realize

    Once you see through your Real Eyes

    She has no end, yet is complete

    In everything you always meet

    You walk with Her in every step

    She is the spider and the web

  • Are You Still Looking for a Soulmate?

    Are You Still Looking for a Soulmate?

    Facebook is our new world, social media replaces railway and telecom networks as our new lifelines..everyone seems to be saying everything over twitter all the time. The lines between friends, followers and public are blurred. But as we try posting our thoughts and updates to the world, who are we talking to? Others or our-self?

    What if there was no-one else really out there…no friends, no followers, no lovers, no soulmates, no twin-flame, and no world ..

    If spirituality is an inner-journey, why do you need outer lovers anyway?

    What if this world is all an illusion…and all the people we know mere characters of a dream. Are we living in a dream world of our own creation? If duality is illusion and non-duality the truth, then infinity is just a distorted zero…and the masses of people are all mere projections of the illusory mind.

    Think about it – what exactly is impossible? Have you ever tried controlling the weather with your mind? Ever tried living without food or water? Can people have the powers to move things with their thoughts? Can all wishes come true if we believe? Can you think of someone and make them visit you? Is everything indeed Magick? Yes, I have tried all of these and so I believe.

    Do you feel there are any features of the world that cannot adjust with the mind? What if the world was indeed a mental projection and silence the only truth? How would you feel about family, friends, wealth, sex, food, movies, celebrities, media…

    What if we were all indeed free of illusion?

    No more hunger. No more anger.

    No more disease. No-one to please.

    No more desire. No need for power.

    No more struggle. Nothing to figure.

    No problem or solution. Only dissolution.

    There is nothing to know, not even the know-er.

    Nothing to lose and nothing to find.

    Nothing at all, for there is no-mind.

    Real love is indeed found when there is no-one to love anywhere around.

    Blessed be!

  • Reach your Inner Core

    Reach your Inner Core

    Earthquakes are felt on the surface, there is peace at the core.

    In the circle of life, we experience ups and downs, highs and lows, trials and tribulations – only if we are superficial.

    Going within in the first step to experiencing peace. At first it is challenging, there are many distractions in the outer world of superficiality. Only the one who meditates goes within. That is how it all begins – the journey of magick – to find your power of spiritual consciousness. You see the suffering all around. You feel for the world, not just yourself. You seek healing and love. You have made an intention. You are ready for transformation.

    At a deeper level we are not only aware of the superficiality, there is also a temptation to return to the outer world and engage in the same cycles of unconscious karma. Only the one who persists goes truly within. You hear the voices of chatter – the hollow sounds of laughter and cries of ignorance. You see the sights that excite and depress. You are tempted to engross in them – to be a victim once again – to blame, curse, suffer. You meet your inner devil luring you away from yourself. You choose to love yourself. That is how it continues, the path of magick -through dedication. You stay on the path – the straight path that goes within. Through sattva or the middle pillar of the tree of life you travel within. Through your chakras from earth to crown you journey on. Towards your center..you focus…focus and focus …shedding all the layers one by one…from one initiation to the other…going on deeper and deeper within. Letting go of your personalities and facades…leaving behind all your shadows to meet your inner light of truth.

    At the innermost and deepest level, we are aware of the outer superficiality, but established in our innermost core. Unfazed by the highs and lows of the outer world, we have found a perfect grounding in our spirit, the inner self. We are at the apex of our being …which is the axle of the wheel. We turn the wheel through inner magick…no longer trapped in the automatic and semi-automatic, unconscious and subconscious cycles of destiny or fate. We have arrived, only to return again – but when we return we are not the same – something has changed forever. The gold that can no longer be corrupted. This is alchemy.

    The lotus blooms in the muddy waters, untouched and unpolluted, only to spread love and light.

    As we change the world changes too.

    You create and dream…the world is shaped around your consciousness. As you row your boat gently down the stream

    …the wheel turns, merrily this time….

    Blessed Be!

  • We Are Witches

    We Are Witches

    We are witches, we cast spells

    For everything to be all well

    While others gather arms and guns

    We believe in Harming None

    Those who try to kill and burn

    Will soon begin to lessons learn

    Its natures law, do as you will

    You cannot ever spirit kill

    Soon reborn from ash and dust

    Is life eternal, ever just

    That’s why we witches celebrate

    And simply write and seal our fate

    By earth and fire, wind and sea

    By the Goddess Blessed Be

  • My Tips for Healthy Living…final part 3

    My Tips for Healthy Living…final part 3

    21. Go outside. Staying cooped up indoors all the time can block our energy channels. Getting some fresh air in a healthy surrounding is as important as eating fresh food.

    22. Be natural. Pretending to be something we are not just to impress can often create energy blocks. Flashing designer labels, acting important or name dropping reveals an inner inferiority complex being masqued. Let go of false self importance and free the spirit to be yourself and see your aura glow and grow in truth.

    23. Express authentically. Those sugary sweet interactions are often a coating applied to hide our real views or feelings. The aim is often to gain a favour or maintain relations for future use. But what happens when we become two-faced is that we carry all this suppressed negativity inside which becomes grotesque by the day. Instead if we express our views authentically everyday, and allow others to do so freely, with open heart and mind, without fear of ego, and with forgiveness in our heart, interactions become more useful and positive. Our communication is then calm, authentic and meaningful, leading to expand everyones consciousness and reach mutual understanding. This way we actually prevent anger and blockages from building up and destroying health and relationships in future. If there is plenty of pent up unexpressed or hidden negativity inside from the past it can be exorcised and removed in a safe way with the help of expert healers or therapists to leave you detfoxified and cleansed, and then replace the space with positive energy of love and light.

    24. Be Karma Conscious. A lot of health conditions may be inherited by birth from our past life karma or deeds. Thoughts, desires, emotions and actions all are karma which create our destiny consciously or unconsciously. Through meditative visions in regression therapy, our natal chart in astrology, psychic visions of intuition and other past life healing modalities, we can know the hidden past and bring to surface our unconscious karma. We can learn our lesson, of how we created our own illness or misfortune through our own past karma in present or past lifetimes. Then we can choose to let go of those unhealthy ways of living and generate better karma in the present moment towards our greater wellbeing.

    25. Be Energy Conscious. Everything is energy. There is vibration in everything, whether potential or kinetic. Unuseful and harmful vibrations can be removed and replaced with better vibrations. Look at your own room, a painting with a sad face, a book with a negative title, a clock that has stopped, a broken artifact, newspaper with depressing headlines, unhappy music, a crime flick….all may be sending negative energy your way and unconsciously you might have been absorbing it to actually manifeset all those things. Replace with better vibration items that feel wonderful. Slowly you will gain the power to see the vibration or energy all around even where there is no physical matter, and learn how to transform that subtle energy too through energy healing. Its a science.

    26. Heal at each level. If negative energy has already manifested into physical illness seek medical treatment and not just inner healing. If mind is affected consider psychotherapy or psychological counseling too. Spiritual healing is always good, whether or not there is a problem. Let that be the base, take it regularly and let it flow at all times. But if any past inner negativity has already become a disease of mind or body, feel unashamed to seek medical help as well.

    27. Ground Yourself in the Present. Whatever may have happened until now, until the present moment, has already become your past. Talk about unwanted events in past tense. Every problem, each mistake, all sorrow WAS in past and need not continue to be in future. In present moment anything and everything is possible, but what will manifest depends on your WILL. Use your will power consciously in the present to create good always in each moment. Forgive and release the past. Let everything you say now be a positive affirmation. Choose to have positive feelings and thoughts right now. Do positive things this moment. This way negativity will have no scope of manifesting in future from NOW onwards.

    28. Know Thyself. All nature including us, is an array of various manifestations of the one energy or uni-verse. This energy is primarily good or God/ESS energy (God or Goddess is not outside but truly within all). Ego limitations create duality or multiplicity across the universe, but the universal energy still runs through us all and can be felt and experienced in meditation (attunement). Its rigid egos that have blockages to the free flow of God/ESS energy. These ego blocks operate out of ignorance when we identify and attach to our limited personalities instead of recognising ourselves as One. Liberating ourselves from ego blocks and ignorance is the ultimate healing. It helps us understand the overall oneness of everyone and everything in this matrix of life. We no longer attach to the limited karmic cycles of our individual past lives. No longer are we affected by past karmas or unconscious forces of destiny. The liberated person expands infinitely to truly experience being one with the universe. Anyone and anything can be healed when their ego blocks dissolve. If ego blocks restrict either the sender or receiver healing delays. The meaning of healing is to join, patch up and reunite through the common Higher Self, God/ess or one energy of the universe that runs through us.  Meditation helps in letting go of our rigid ego blockages and opens up the aura to healing. Whether you employ gems, crystals, amulets, energy channeling, candles, words, music, yoga, visualisation, herbs…everything starts working for our good once we are open and ready. Healing integrates us. The more spiritually liberated we all are, the more healed and peaceful the universe becomes.

    With this I conclude this three part series.

    I encourage you to meditate and experience the truth for yourself through real intuition instead of merely reading these words.

    Blessed Be

  • My Tips for Healthy Living

    My Tips for Healthy Living

    1. Eat light. Its amazing how little we really require to live. Most of the time we eat for emotional comfort, taste, social obligation, entertainment…all the wrong reasons. When we are in a meditative state we literally eat light, or spiritual energy. Most of my students who have come over to attend my full day workshops always felt too full to eat lunch and that’s because of the amazing energy they were channeling. I won’t suggest trying not to eat. Rather I suggest eat when you really need to and this need reduces automatically when you channel higher energy.

    2. Eat right. This is what I have finally concluded. Vegetarian (actually raw Vegan) food is the best, especially because you don’t have to kill the plant. The actual term vegetarian comes from veg-eatarian i.e. vegetable or ‘vegetation eater’ and was never intended to include dairy or eggs. Eat more fruits including vegetables that are actually fruits such as cucumber, courgettes, bell peppers, brinjals, gourds, there are so many varieties of tasty foods that are meant to be eaten. Plants want to offer us their ripe fruits so we can help in propagating the seeds and plenty of nutrition in these juicy fruits makes them my favourite.

    3. Cook less. Healthy, ripe organic fruits and veggies often require little or no cooking. Personally I have never been a fan of cooking because it destroys so much of the nutritients in our food and adds so much unrequired oil, sugar, salt and spice thereby completely spoiling the fruity food which nature has already ripened and served to us all ready to eat with all required things included within.

    4. Exercise lightly. High adrenalin pumping, muscle building types who live on protein shakes and meats often look like meat themselves. Its stupid to eat wrong and then spend extra cash and time to lose weight by joining the gym. Walking, completing household chores yourself with less use of automated equipment, yoga, stretches, simple exercises you can easily perform at home or in the park are sufficient to keep fit and look nice (provided you eat light and right), and they do not cost much time or money.

    5. Talk less and softly. Talking exerts us and creates uneccesary stress. Use of intuition is so important in understanding things without much need of words.

    6. Think less. Thinking is unrequired when you are channeling pure energy or spiritual wisdom. There is no need to process and twist this higher wisdom mentally. Everything you say or do can simply channel this higher energy without diluting, tweaking, confusing the same. Let your mind be one with the universe, large and open with endless awareness all the time. Smaller minds need to worry and think. The universal mind is forever in peace, relaxed and clear as crystal with doubtless awareness. Meditation is all about achieving that thought free state of pure being.

    7. Choose intuitively. Your inner self knows what’s right. It tells you when you need anything, what you need, what you do not need. Choose health always. This means reading only useful information, wearing comfort, spending time wisely, living in the right location, clean surroundings, positive people, right kind of shopping, a career you love and excel in….these things can simply not be found in books…only intuition can guide us perfectly. Sometimes people think they are intuitive when they are actually blocked. Only correct meditation can unblock and allow wisdom to flow, minus all the rubbish.

    8. Healthy relationship. I am a big fan of monogamy, loyal mutual love, healthy sexual partnership and marriage. Its all about wholesome and clean auras interacting together, contributing to each others health and happiness, living a better life together. There should be no bondage out of emotional, financial, sexual or any other dependency or insecurity. A real relationship strengthens rather than weakens your individuality. Walk away from negative energy. Accept real love.

    9. Find and live your purpose. A lot of depression, misery, disease and helplessness is when you do not know yourself, your spiritual truth, your reason for incarnating on this planet. Know that the universal energy that some call God or Goddess can be manifesting through you. The more you allow this energy to flow through you, the better and more purposeful life gets. Only when blocked to this energy you lose life and fall prey to diseases of mind, body, soul. Again meditation is the answer.

    10. Meditation in every moment. Its not something you do for a few minutes. No need to have rigid schedules or complex techniques. You are doing it right when you feel the positive universal energy flowing through you in every moment free of any spiritual, mental, emotional, or any other blockages. Only goodness flows through you always. Health is effortlessly achieved.

    11. Spells for every improvement. Some people who think of God or Goddess as an external entity pray. Those who channel infinite energy simply manifest. Its about being your true self. A lot of unhappiness was upon earth when people misunderstood God or Goddess as an external being and stopped learning the right ways to meditate, use intuition, create positive transformation in life. This lack of magick made people feel like victims, helpless, hapless, worried, dependent on external guidance, medicines, convuluted religious dictats and negative sorcery. Thanks to meditation more people are now finding the inner source of health and happiness everyday and aligning with their infinite magical nature.
