  • Psychic Self Defense

    Psychic Self Defense

    Psychic Power:
    Every thought, emotion, desire or action is Karma. Each of these has a
    vibration of its own. Every vibration has an effect, every action has a reaction.

    We may not realize it but every thought, dream or feeling that we project knowingly or unknowingly has an effect in the world and creates our future. This means we all carry a lot of psychic power within us.
    Psychic power comes with a responsibility too. We are all
    interconnected in the matrix of life and whatever we project comes
    back us sooner or later to teach us the lesson of love and compassion.

    Psychic Awareness:
    Not everyone who has psychic power has been aware of their power. Many times we have sent anger, envy, hate towards others without even realizing that it is having a potential to harm others and us (if something could harms another it harms us as well).

    We may have said – “Go to hell” or “get Lost” for example in a fit of anger and it is a negative energy that returns to the sender. When you were talking negatively to someone or yourself about life, the world, any happenings, relationships, etc…it was also creating negative energy for the listener and yourself. We all are to constantly work on modifying such behaviors and adopting a more affirmative life.
    Psychic Attack:

    There are also people who have been aware of their psychic power and know how to send highly focused vibrations. They may not have been doing this in a responsible way and may harm others intentionally thereby harming themselves too (if not sooner than later and with interest – the harm sent comes back multiple times to the sender until they learn the lesson).

    This is what happens in a psychic attack. Some people who suffered from  lack of full knowledge and were ignorant of the importance of magickal ethics were low on the responsibility part and used their third-eye or psychic power wrongly.

    Psychic Responsibility:
    We all are responsible to think pleasant thoughts and feel positive
    emotions, to desire good things and to indulge in ethical behavior and
    actions – towards ourselves and others. This is psychic responsibility
    and people who had sent psychic attacks or negative vibrations to
    themselves or others knowingly or unknowingly may have been less spiritually aware of the law of karma and about psychic responsibility due to lack of inner wisdom and absence of proper magickal and spiritual training and guidance.

    Thankfully cutting edge magickal training and spiritual guidance is now available and is being accessed by many so we are becoming both psychically and spiritually aware of our psychic responsibility and ethics and people are learning how to be more positive and loving.

    The Wiccan Rede:
    “Harm None Do as You Will” is a beautiful code of ethics that is
    followed by many today as Wicca gains prominence as a religion and a
    coherent spiritual system for enlightened masters. (More on www.globalwicca.com)


    How to Know if you are under a Psychic Attack    :

    • You may have felt irritable, angry or unhappy without reason and prone to say or do something that harms you, your relationships or your life
    • You may have found object breaking eg. glass, crystals, photoframes, etc, especially things that were significant to you
    • You may have suddenly fallen ill without known cause
    • You may have found that bad luck chased you suddenly, eg: you became accident prone, stumbled more, ran into losses or trouble for seemingly no specific reason
    • More severe symptoms have sometimes been observed
    • In case the person’s mind was possessed by the negative attachment or energy, the individual may have refused to accept healing or be in a state of denial as well
    • You may have recieved visions, intuitions and dreams that indicated psychic attack.
    • Basically you may not have been the direct cause of these but a victim of a psychic attack.
    • The best way to confirm is through divination (eg tarot cards) through the help of a reputed psychic expert.

    Who is Vulnerable
    All that happens to us is a result of our inner world, Our subconscious beliefs, thoughts, emotions and desires become real. Even a psychic attack is somehow linked to your fears and insecurities as the universe is within us.

    All of us have a little vulnerable child within who is innocent and needs to feel safe and this also makes us vulnerable. Even if we are powerful spiritual masters we need to constantly amplify our positive energy and keep ourselves strong.

    Magick is not a one time thing but a constant way of life.

    Some new age experts talk a lot about creating positive energy without giving due focus on cleansing, repelling and transforming negative. Its like wearing fresh clothes and perfume without taking a bath. Banishing negative is equally important.
    How to Prevent and Handle a Psychic Attack


    – Psychic shielding: This works best if you have learn energy healing
    methods. Just visualize a shield around you in the beginning of the
    day and at night before sleeping and again whenever you need it
    through the day or night. This can be a sphere of blue or white light
    in its simplest form.
    – Crystals: Hematite is known to shield you psychially. Wear or carry
    hematite in the form of ring or pendant for example. It can also
    absorb a strong psychic attack and break thereby warning you and
    protecting you else the energy may have hurt your life instead.
    Tiger’s eye is a good reflective crystal and good against negative
    energies. So is cat’s eye. Tourmaline is absorbent and helps protect
    you to an extent. Other crystals are garnet, amethyst, sugilite (a
    powerful crystal related to Archangel Michael).
    – Herbs: Sage, Angelica, Hyssop, Witches grass, Rue, Sulfur, and many
    others can be used in spells, potions, oils and herb form.
    – Talismans,yantras and amulets: The pentacle and the star of David are popular talismans for protection. There are several others too
    from various cultures that are magically powerful.  The evil eye from
    turkish culture is one way of preventing jealous energies.

    – Angels, gods and goddesses: Being in touch with your higher self
    that can take the form of angels, gods and goddesses is a good idea.

    – Meditation, Spells, Magickal skills, Energy Healing and Grounding:
    Meditative techniques, spells, magick and energy skills are a
    must-learn for all of us and should be taught since childhood. Spells
    are some of the more powerful ways to prevent, repel and reverse
    psychic harm. Grounding for example is a way of releasing negativity
    and converting it to positive energy. There are candle burning spells
    and rituals and several other advanced methods that need to be learned
    or followed under professional guidance.

    A Case Study of a Psychic Attack:

    I have been using Hematite rings for quite some time now and havefound they usually do not break unless they absorb negative energy . Last year for a small period of time they broke continuously though I kept replacing them. It was brilliant that some of them broke spontaneously
    without any externally visible force.I also used tiger’s eye in angel and pendant form to provide additional protection and these too broke almost immediately – an indication of a strong psychic attack.When we start working with energy things become even more clear to us.

    I performed a divination and also recieved psychic messages of who the attacker was and found that there were more than one. It is important that we do not return a psychic attack with an attack. Harm in return of harm can only spoil things further. I focused on sending healing vibrations to myself and others.

    I found the reason for this was the emotional insecurity of
    the senders of this psychic attack whose negative belief systems were
    creating this type of energy for me and a friend of mine.

    I also did chakra-meditations and spells to heal the negative and
    convert it to positive, for example a binding spell to prevent the
    person who is trying to harm you from harming you further.
    I also performed a spell to reverse the negative effects of the attack
    from my past.

    If the person who attacked you tries this again as I found out in this
    case we need to give further healing. Recently I found that this
    individual once again tried to send a psychic attack to me creating
    ripples of confusion and misunderstanding between me and a significant
    other for which I had to perform a ritual cord cutting and banishing.
    It is necessary to cut the cords between you and the attacker so that
    the same scenario can be prevented in future and to send blessings and
    healing to all concerned including the sender of the psychic attack so
    we all become more positive and less prone to negativity.

    Thankfully I know many spells to repel and reverse negative energy but it is great to be warned clearly and I am glad that I have the knowledge and skills to identify negative energy and heal the same.

    I focused on forgiving myself, the attacker and all others who played a role in this situation. It is not necessary for us to carry the pain and suffering in our heart no matter what others may have done. It is up-to us to release the pain from ourselves and forgive so that we can move on further, detached from the negativity. This does not make what they did right. This only means we stop hurting now and release the unwanted energy and emotions.

    I also send love and compassion to myself and others including
    the one who intends me harm as I believe that people who are happy and loved do not harm others. We all need and deserve love and happiness, and happy people do not hurt themselves or others. I focus on creating happiness and focus on sending love to myself and others.

    When I find myself becoming bitter and insensitive I try to realize the same as soon as possible and to cancel out these negative effects through healings and spells and by looking within me for answers.

    Note: All techniques mentioned are advanced methods to be learned or attempted under the right guidance of an established expert

    Most Important Advise

    Do not go looking for negativity and do not make it a habit to obsess over psychic attacks and so called black magic or dark arts constantly.  There are some people who have been blaming all their life problems on black magic and psychic attack instead of meditating and discovering how they attracted this to them in the first place. A Psychic Attack may be in some way or another your own negative karma coming back your way.

    If these things exist they are only indicators of our own inner vulnerabilities and weaknesses that they expose bare open. When something like this happens try to address the inner weakness and vulnerability that they represent within you. Always remember – The Universe is Within and each thing we observe and experience, each person, place or situation, is only an aspect of our self that needs love, healing and positive transformation.

  • Why be Part of a Wiccan Tradition and Temple

    Why be Part of a Wiccan Tradition and Temple

    Many of you are already familiar with Wicca: A modern nature based religion of magick.

    A Wiccan Tradition is a structure through which more focus is added to your Wiccan practice as a religion/ shared spiritual system.

    (Read more on Wicca on www.globalwicca.com and join us now)

    A lot of Wiccans especially those who are new into it practice solitary or as loosely gathered groups, often leading to more unfocused energy than an organized tradition or temple can provide. However Wiccan temples and traditions are not always accessible to the public.

    Even when these are not everyone prefers to learn in a structured way or to keep the energy chain flowing through an organized tradition. What we need to understand is the difference being a part of a tradition and temple can make to us if we choose to be a part of it. In a tradition there is a specific philosophy, leadership, code of ethics and a shared understanding of what and how we practice as a community of Wiccans.

    A tradition can have one or more temple. In a Wiccan temple there are rituals and rites conducted as service often within the initiated priesthood but also sometimes open to public especially on festive occasions such as sabbats and esbats. A temple is a finely run organization with priests and priestesses and headed by a high priest/ess who looks after the functioning of the temple.

    As the public is often allowed to be a part of the sacred ceremonies along with initiates a lot of energy is transferred to the member of public who is granted access to the temple. An energy exchange in the form of membership dues or ritual fees is often required to help facilitate the same so that the participant gets maximum benefit of the spiritual service consumed by him or her. Often the fees for such public ritual service is kept to a minimum as compared to a one-to-one and personalized ritual or spell-casting performed by an expert.

    If the temple receives adequate donations or has a good source of funding the rituals can be made even more affordable for the masses but as Wicca is a fairly new religion this process may take some time. An energy exchange may be required to keep the temple functioning well, to reward the priesthood who conducts the services and to cover for the ritual supplies as well so that the temple can continue to provide continued service, expand itself and serve the society in a meaningful way.

    What is the Earth Healing Temple: A place where magick happens and rituals are held – this place is within our heart as we come together and cast our circle for any temple ritual. This is a Wiccan temple – our prayers are our spells and invocations. We worship the Earth goddess and all facets of divine from all sources across the globe – the Wiccan Way. We call upon the elements of nature and astral entities that are positive in every aspect to help us raise and purify our energies so that we release the negative blocks and bring in more positive situations in our life. We also perform rituals to heal the earth.

    I urge you all to also read the blog post on how to join the Earth Healing Temple on the Global Wicca Tradition’s ning network (Join Us) and lend us your support and participation so that we can keep up our good work. With all you support we will be able to unite more and more people and expand our tradition in every direction. Consider joining our tradition’s inner circle to have a more active role to play in it as a priest/ess. Any comments, feedback or discussions are welcome.

    Blessed Be

  • Birthday of a Witch!

    Birthday of a Witch!

    We have heard his stories, of all the miracles and wonders that he brought into the world, His healing powers, prophetic abilities and magical skills are well known.

    Jesus Christ seems to have been an extremely good witch, a magickal human who had tremendous wisdom and consciousness. If those tales are true it seems that he used his power of consciousness to create a change, to awaken the masses, to see the future,  and to show and lead by example. 

    Legend says that he was sacrificed…and it is also known that so many alleged witches have been framed and murdered through time for being courageous, self driven, focused…why… just because they chose their own beliefs and used their own inner spiritual powers instead of going as per the dictates of others?

    Following the path of Christ is about following the inner self. Instead of merely worshiping and remembering such great masters we must try to be like them, to learn the ways of the healers, to be enlightened, to work with the angels and unseen beings of nature, to prophecise and see the future, to perform divination and magick, to create a more positive state of being for ourselves, facilitating that for others, creating more beauty, peace and joy in this world, to be in balance, to maintain the balance of nature…Then we will truly be in the energy of God(dess).

    We may celebrate his birthday today in many ways but it will be incomplete if we did nothing to invoke our inner light as that is what God(ess) is truly all about. 

    Whether we attend a sacred ceremony, meditate, perform a spell, spend time in nature, or simply be in the energy of truth, we must know that the light of the world is being born within us in this very moment… as we spend some time with our-Self discovering the magick within us all.

  • Nature = Science = Religion

    Nature = Science = Religion

    Humans consider themselves to be more intelligent, more evolved than other creatures of earth. I have come across certain spiritualists who believe that their being human is such a gift because ‘they are so much more spiritually evolved’. Many believers in reincarnation actually state that human life is the highest possible level of reincarnation on earth and it is through this that we attain the so called higher state of ‘liberation’.

    It is true that humans are biologically more evolved, being the most dense, physically and mentally more complex species on earth.

    Biological evolution and spiritual evolution however are two different things.

    Biological evolution can be termed as spiritual ‘involution’. All matter has evolved from its original spirit form. Spirit, energy, chi, prana, shakti is life and it is the essence and original state of everything that exists (both the living and so called ‘non living’). Energy has ‘condensed’ to become what we see as matter. This is a scientific fact and a peek into quantum physics will help us understand this.

    Becoming more and more complex from our original, simple, ‘unity’ state of existence – this is the process of involution.

    As nature becomes more and more complex, spiritual vibrations become denser and denser, more and more complex forms of life evolve as spirit gets ‘involved’ in the play of existence. We become physically more complicated, mentally more complicated, hence highly ‘intelligent’ humans.

    Animals (read other animals as humans are a part of the animal world scientifically speaking), are less biologically evolved and less mentally complicated. They are closer to the spiritual self.

    Plants are even closer to the spiritual self. Minerals, crystals, rocks are close too as they have fewer complexities.

    Earth (solid matter), Water, Fire, Air, are all closer to Spirit in that order.

    Spiritual evolution refers to the process of us (complex human forms) becoming more and more attuned to our original essence of spirit, this means to simplify ourselves, be more natural, more scientifc, which means more spiritual.This is also ‘Shedding our Huge Human Ego’. Humans need to meditate to get rid of mental chatter and to be in touch with their simple self. Other beings of nature need this much lesser than humans do.

    In the quest for achieving spiritual liberation humans have created religion. Religion is another name for shared spiritual belief system…. and there are so many variations of these belief systems… each eager to prove its superiority and establish its dominance. All these religions are untimately based on stories, books, myths and mythologies. Science and common sense urge us to understand that these myths, stories, books and mythlogies contain just lessons for us to learn, rather than facts. There is truth within them, even though they may not be exactly factual.

    The fact is that all myths, customs, rites have evolved from nature. In the beginning humans observed nature and its phenomena. Sun, moon, tides, storms, lightning, rain and so on. These were all honoured as deities and as they started responding to the wishes and thoughts of humans they began to understand what magick is really all about. Every aspect of nature began to assume a deity form, animals, birds and even human. We prayed to the gods of rains for rainfall, sun for warmth, and so on.

    As religion evolved into more complex forms in line with the biological and mental evolution of man, we went out of step with spirituality and nature. We forgot that all modern myths and mythologies in all modern religions have originally evolved from nature worship.

    For example – what we celebrate as Christmas or birth of Jesus Christ in December was originally celebrated as Winter solistice. Around this time each year we witness the longest night and the shortest day of the year, after which days begin to grow longer and longer. This is the peak of winter and the Sun god is at its weakest dying stage, and soon as the solstice ends, Sun is born again and slowly gains power as the wheel of the year turns. This is also called Yule and originally being a nature festival that symbolised the rebirth of sun was celebrated with evergreen trees, holly and mistletoe being symbols of the cycle of death and rebirth, popcorn garlands and decorations were warpped around trees to keep the ‘tree spirits’ warm. Such a beautiul way to celebrate the magick and mystery of nature – and most of us who celebrate Christmas don’t even know that.

    Gods and goddesses that are visualised as having human form are actually all originally just aspects of nature. Thunder and lightning (Zeus, Indra), male god (sun, Lugh, Mithra, Aditya, Vishnu, all versions of male ‘God’ deity in modern religions such as Christianity), female goddess (moon, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Artemis, most female deities that are conspicous by their absence in modern patriarchial religions). The lists of gods and goddesses may be endless but they are all forms of nature and should ideally help us be more and more aligned with our natural self.

    Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Plants, Animals and all other beings of nature are more in tune with their essence, their spirituality than humans who falsely believe themselves to be superior. They are all far more at ease with themselves, their intuition, their ablity to ‘be’, their basic needs and desires than most humans who have created way too much stress and complication in their lives and are seeking a way to escape this through one of two extremes:

    First extreme – the path of asceticism, meditation to the extent of losing their basic ‘grounding’ or practicality, celibacy, to a less extent vegetarianism, Jainism, veganism and fasting to a greater extent denial of food and water, relenquishing pleasure while being misfits in society and deeply unhappy within.

    The second extreme – Overindulgence in the life process, drugs, addictions, poly-amourism (multiple partners – no committment), maximising pleasure, numbing themselves to pain while being deeply unhappy within.

    A lot of so called spiritualists I have observed acually fall in one of the above two categories. I have actually found them to be broken, sorry people who are in real need of healing but their spiritual egos keep them far from accepting their natural truth.

    Thankfully to help us achieve this we have Science.

    As we learn to observe nature (which is the essence of science) we try to discover facts and move away from myths. We learn the language of nature and its laws. We learn how all matter is composed of vibrations that are altered through the power of consciousness. Through scientific experimentation we have discovered that there is ‘Magick’ and what we really focus on condenses from spirit to matter, from imagination to reality, E=mc square etc… – a fact that witches and mystics have known all along and ‘new age’ gurus have finally ‘exposed’ as the Secret.

    We finally learn that all we really need to be is our simple, humble, natural self. This means our intuitive, spiritual, scientific, magickal self.

    Imagine if we all were in tune with this part of us, with our essence.

    Imagine a world where we are in perfect harmony and sync with nature, its bounty, its beauty.

    A world in which we use our common sense and scientific understanding of the world to discover its facts and our natural intuition to discover their underlying truth, instead of being brainwashed by modern religious leaders into following what they claim to be the ultimate concept of ‘God’.

    A world where we realise that we are biologically well evolved as humans but need to spiritually evolve – which means to go back to our natural simple, intuitive, magickal state of being.

    A world in which we are truly happy, abundant, enlightened and peaceful because whatever we want and desire is manifesting each moment by the way of natural Magick and it is scientific – and real – and good. We use it only for good and never to harm, because we know that we do not want to harm anyone if we truly wish to achieve peace, joy and happiness – purity of intent – Satva-yuga!

    Welcome to the magickal world of Wicca – a nature oriented spiritual system – a scientific, rational religion – a path of Love and Light!

  • Thank you!

    Thank you!

    I spent one night in a dark cage, without the sight of sun or spring

    I made believe that it was real…the wicked world, the sorry things

    I saw the shadows that I feared and they began to fade away

    The pain and sorrow brought me tears and washed the night into a day

    And in the light I was revealed, I saw myself with open eyes

    I broke the cage of sad dismay, prepared my little wings to fly

    I knew the dark night wasn’t real, it was a test of memory

    So that, this, my forgotten self, is again remembered and revealed

    It doesn’t matter what the world and people said or did to me

    I will remember all I felt, its all a part of being free

    I thank the night that brought me tears and choose to honour all the pain

    For because of it I learnt to fly and be all that I was, again

    I am the same and always will remain a free and happy soul

    In perfect love and perfect trust I cherish myself being whole

    Magick is  the person within you who is as pure as a child,

    as powerful as a goddess and as natural as nature itself. 

    Magick is always within … the Spirit, Love and Light 

    You can see it in the dawn of the day and in the moonrays that shine upon you to reveal your truest self

     You are already a magickal powerful person

    always conscious, always incharge, always aware,

    as wise as a witch and as kind as an angel…

    Magick begins when you be yourself,

    not what you think you are but who you truly are
