The Resurrection

There was once a time when people worshipped nature and its various forces, deified in the form of gods and goddesses of every kind. We all belong to that era in our soul. Somewhere we may have forgotten our past, but we can never truly shake it off. Even if we did convert into any of the popular modern faiths through time, the call of the soul is one which remains strong across our past lives, redirecting us to the time when we had faith in everything and celebrated all.

Ancient faith through modern times slowly faded away at least in the western world, its monuments preserved as ruins of archaeological interest, where tourists can take photographs today. Look at the ancient temples and sites at Greece for example. It hurts to see that there is hardly any sacred ritual of worship conducted at those sites that once were awesome places of power and magick. And somewhere I feel great pride and satisfaction to be born in my present incarnation in India, the magickal land where history survives strong and ancient faith still shines brightly in every nook and corner in the form of millions of temples and deities that we can interact with and enjoy working with at any time.

Today at Lughnasad, unplanned and totally unexpectedly I was somehow drawn to visit the location of the Temple of Mithras in London. This is an ancient place that calls us to witness the culture, the tradition and the divinity of the past, where over 2000 years ago we worshipped the god of Light alongside several other deities such as Mercury the messenger who travelled between the realms, Minerva the goddess of witchcraft and creation, and Serapis who is believed to be the god of the underworld. And now this place of power is being restored is what I hear and see through the scaffolds around it.

It is exciting indeed to see that we are discovering and learning about our roots, but more exciting is a possibility that perhaps some day we can bring back the divine traditions of worship, celebration and ritual at these temples restored back to their former glory. It is important that we celebrate and worship at sites of power and not just look at them as artefacts to be photographed with, for only then can we truly bring back our ancient power that flows through our lives, life after life.

At the same time it is necessary to build new temples that celebrate the timeless faith of nature and the universe and offer their energy to the public for the betterment of all humankind on earth. As such at Global Wicca I propose that we join hands and create new temples, starting with any place that you own that may be suitable to be converted into sites of power and magick. Do contact me if interested.

Blessed Be

What Witches Do (and don’t)

Who are witches and what do they do?

Any person with spiritual wisdom was in ancient times called a witch or wiz in the ancient western world, and a variety of other names elsewhere – healer, shaman, pundit, priestess, guru…all different names of magickal or spiritual folk or witches across the world

In the medieval dark ages false stories were spread to deter people from witchraft/wizcraft, the craft of the wise, and a few hundred thousand innocent women are believed to be burnt or drowned to death in the name of curbing witchraft. Reason – religious suppression of free thought and discouraging spiritual awareness so that certain religions could dominate the world through fear and forced conversion.

Well its time to once again claim our right to scientific and rational awareness, of spiritual energy, the nature of the universe, principles of manifestation. In other words witchraft is back in its true sense.

So let me explain what witches really do now and did in the ancient world before the burning times, and yes I am talking of witchraft which is all about wit and wisdom and not only Wiccan witchcraft. Whichever religion you may follow other-wise, the idea of being positive is a common denominator of all kinds of witchcraft.

Witches
– are respected as spiritual counselors and guides
– are invited to bless babies
– conduct wedding ceremonies for couples
– send blessing to homes
– send healing energy to help people feel better
– send blessings to families and those who wish to start families
– care for and send healing to animals and plants
– send blessings to earth, people and enterprises for accelerating growth and abundance
– conduct funerals to bless and heal the spirit and the grieving
– cleanse and purify the aura of people and spaces
– work with positive faeries, angels, natural elements, gods and goddesses, crystals and herbs
– send protection and positive energy

These have been the traditional roles of witches since ancient times
They can send healing and positive energy and help you banish negativity

Remember they can try to help you by sending energy, but how much it will work, and how quickly, will depend on YOUR karma. Witches can control their own energy and improve their own life situations more easily. But your life is not in their hands. No person can control or change your karma or energy. You need to learn your lessons and change yourself. Witches only try to guide and help you to undertake your required life changes.

Now read the following properly please:

– WITCHES DO NOT FLY ON BROOMS OR TURN PEOPLE INTO TOADS OR ANYTHING ELSE
– WITCHES DO NOT CAST EVIL SPELLS, HATE OR REVENGE SPELLS FOR ANYONE OR ON ANYONE
– WITCHES DO NOT HARM ANYONE, ESPECIALLY NOT CHILDREN
– WITCHES DO NOT GUARANTEE RESULTS, ITS YOUR KARMA THAT DETERMINES RESULTS
– WITCHES DO NOT DEAL WITH DEVIL OR DEMONS OR ANY OTHER EVIL ENTITIES
– WITCHES DO NOT PREDICT FUTURES OR TELL FORTUNES, THEY ONLY READ ENERGY AND SENSE POSSIBILITIES
– WITCHES DO NOT CAST LOVE SPELLS TO BEWITCH ANYONE
– WITCHES DO NOT CAST LOVE SPELLS TO BEWITCH ANYONE
– WITCHES DO NOT CAST LOVE SPELLS TO BEWITCH ANYONE
– WITCHES DO NOT CAST LOVE SPELLS TO BEWITCH ANYONE
– WITCHES DO NOT CAST LOVE SPELLS TO BEWITCH ANYONE
How many times do I need to repeat this to get this point through to everyone?

So kindly:
Stop believing silly fairy tales about witches who cackle and gobble up kids or curse people – its time to grow up
And
Stop getting fooled by those fake or fraud ‘witches’ who after reading such silly tales, pretend that they cast love spells or black magic spells or guarantee ‘results’, because that is NOT what witches do
And most importantly
Do NOT mail me idiotic and silly requests for those kind of spells…I simply trash them

I can shake you up, try to wake you up, show you the right path- but only you can open your eyes get yourself to walk on the right path

Blessed Be

The Truth about Spirituality

Some people discovered what they thought was meditation…being quiet, passive, closed, sleepy or dull
They spent hours, days and years in this depressing state …imagining it to be the real thing
Escaping from the daily challenges of life, from life itself…wanting to be free
Some others found spirituality to be an excuse for careless, irresponsible or mindless behavior, even unethical in the extreme, Or an excuse to falsely justify negativity as a necessary part of balance and acceptance
They couldn’t be further from the truth
All the above is dullness, ignorance, negative energy or tamas
Spirituality is bright, aware, positive vibration
Its neither about mindlessness or losing your mind
Its about guiding your mind with something higher or ‘no mind’ which helps in being incharge of your mind, rising above it and not letting your mind be your block
Its about having no negative, stuck-up energies any more
Being free and flowing in a positive direction
Guided by the truth, love, universal good or divine light
Truly liberated, free of falsehood
When it becomes impossible for you to harm anyone or yourself
When you can no longer be corrupted or misled
When you are not passive, lethargic, inert or powerless anymore
When you use your power to create good, to destroy ignorance or evil
And to maintain balance and peace, both inner and outer
To utilise your time on earth purposefully
Being of some good use to yourself and the universe
That is sattvic life or spiritual living
Now that is what I call Magick!

Blessed Be

Being Spiritual

So many people speak of being spiritual these days.
Many like being called spiritual, not religious…(as if religion were a four letter word that has done no good…but Gawd, wasn’t this is the way it was experienced until the new age of Wicca, a spiritual scientific religion…but that’s besides the point)

The point is…what is being spiritual all about?
Is it about saffron robes, hooded capes, turbans, hats and other fancy dress?
Is it about being men with long grey hair on their chins and heads and large imposing decorations on the forehead?
Is it about sitting in tight postures and closed eyes for an hour or two?
Is it about chanting in sanskrit, greek or latin, especially in the middle of perfectly ordinary conversations?
(All of which I admit will make quite an instant impression in public and may even get a few to come over and touch your feet…and secretly many of our holy men owe their sudden and humungous popularity more to this drama and less to their teachings)

Now what is the meaning of being spiritual (and not just showing it)?

Firstly the word ‘spiritual’ is composed of spirit, which means it has to do something with our inner self. But in that case we all have this spirit within…right. Quite right, however not everyone was so far equally bothered about the spirit within us all…which largely differentiates being spiritual from being purely material in our awareness and behaviour.

We are born when spirit takes material or physical form through us and our surroundings. Hence from ever since we are born we are taught in our schools, colleges and nurseries, very vaguely, about how to conduct ourselves in the material world (even if focused mainly on theory than practice). Its another thing that we also learn through people and experiences over and above our school curricula, a whole lot of things I would rather put very ironically in the category of how NOT to conduct our life in the material world. But yes most of us are somewhat aware of our material body and surroundings, even if we are not quite adept at handling them very well.

But the fact that we are made of spirit in essence was revealed rather late to most people if revealed at all. And even if this were revealed, the first (or even second or third or fourth) reaction to this was…why should it matter? Yes spirit is not matter, but that doesnt mean that it doesnt matter. The interelationship of spirit and matter is of importance here.

Now Spirit (and I am not talking of our personal spirits or lost spirits but of Spirit) or Goddess or God if you prefer, has created our matter or material life as quite beautiful and positive. It is through non awareness and mis-understanding of Spirit that we have abused, spoilt or eroded our material world. By getting in touch with the Spirit we can once again restore a loving balance and harmony in our lives and surroundings (and also heal our own little lost spirits or souls which expand and feel complete on integration with the Spirit).

Learn how to get in touch with the Spirit (even if you call it by another name such as Source, Universe, Goddess, God) through the right ways of meditation. And …also equally importantly, learn how to bring the beauty and wisdom of the Spirit into your daily existence by way of energy healing spells that channel the Spirit energy into the material world in accordance with the motto of As Above, So Below, or as Inside so Outside, or as With In so With Out.

Angels, Demons and Something Else

I am sure you have heard of Angels…
Demons you have heard of too….

So is the world divided into Angels and Demons, Good and Bad, Positive and Negative that always clash?
Is there anything beyond duality, polarity, opposites?

Why was negativity ever created?
Who created negative?

Is there a Devil who is anti-God?
Is the Devil creator of negative, as opposed to God, the all positive creator?
So who created this Devil if God is the creator?

Recently two men from the local church knocked at my door to ask me, “Who controls the world?” I asked them who they thought controls the world. “The Devil”, they said, “controls the world”.

What do you say to that?
Is there someone ‘controlling’ the world….

I’ve really heard enough of this God and Devil theory…

Once upon a time, people wondered and marveled at nature.
They wanted to study, observe, learn and feel grateful for nature.
They loved nature, adored it, worshipped it too.

They also spoke of Faeries…the spirits or astral beings of nature…..not divided into good or bad, angelic or demonic…just natural entities or Faery folk.

The universe was appreciated in all its variety, all forms, all colours…not just black or white.

People too were regarded as beings with a spectrum of possibilities, various shades…changeble too..not seen as rigid good or bad persons forever. Why, even gods and goddesses had their moods, their temperaments, they too made mistakes, repented, learnt lessons…. Such was mythology in the olden golden times.

When did we lose our natural awareness and become so set in beliefs?

When did we start agreeing blindly to those books and dictates of religious institutions who invented God and Devil, Angels and Demons and made the world forget the One infinite truth …….that all possibilities lie within us.
That…..no one person controls the world, no one person has made the world or can destroy it..

The universe is far too wonderful and mysterious for you to stop wondering, stop learning,stop questioning….

You can now know the truth and the truth sets you free
You can be whoever you want now to be
You created your illusion of un-reality
You chose to exist in a state of duality
The angels and demons were all inside you
And God and the Devil and Something else too
Something you lost, hoping that someday you’ll find
The signs of the Truth you once left far behind
Unite with it now and find yourself whole
Let consciousness enlighten the wave of your soul
Be the change, heal, transform through your deepest vibration
Know thyself, who art thou…be your own true salvation

Blessed be

Spells that Work and Spells that Don’t

A lot of spellbooks in the market…full of magical recipes and enchantments…
Do they all work?
Can you really turn your ex-boyfriend into a toad as indicated by the cover of that one?
Can you summon any man or woman of your choice to do as you say?

Silly, silly spellbooks for wannabe witches seldom help.

Look, if you want to cast real spells, you should be a real witch.
I don’t mean a witch like one out of a cartoon with flying broomsticks and a black cat on board.
I don’t mean a witch who makes objects float or fly with her eyes or freezes the people around with one gesture, or vanquishes demons all the time…but cannot really sort out their own life out of fear of personal gain.
I don’t mean a witch who twiddles her nose and makes objects dissapear or appear out of thin air.
Honestly since when did witches start being portrayed as some kind of fictitious mythical female superheroes with superpowers galore?

I mean a REAL witch, not one out of movies or telly.
One who has meditated and discovered inner peace.
One who can sense, feel and know things through intuition.
One who makes intentions and casts spells successfully for positive changes in life.
A real wise witty wizardy witch.

Now if you are a real witch and know how to write…yes write, not read from others’ Books of Shadows…..real spells, then your spells might have a chance of working.

BLESSED BE

Full Moon Night

Lady, mother, priestess high
Illuminates the earthy sky
Brightly shines the nightly queen
To everyone she can be seen
Lifting waters at midnight
Mystery, magick, power, might
Tonight the moon is full and round
Do you hear the silence.. its her sound
Close your eyes and gaze inside
Or mount your brooms, begin the ride
The witching hour has just begun
Join the party, share the fun
Beware however of the tide
And tread you not where werewolves hide
Its nothing but your hidden self
Those emotions you suppress
For when the moon seems less than whole
Who are you in heart and soul
Do you show the way you feel
Or use darkness to conceal
When your moods go high or low
Do you share and do you show
Are you scared and do you fear
And mask with smile your silent tear
Do you have the notion in your mind
That being human ain’t divine
Do you believe in angels more
And forget the faery lore
Do you have faith in an outer ‘God’
Or worship nature as Lady and Lord
Stop searching now and just accept
Your outer world and inner self
Know and love your earthly world
Your truth, your power, your inner gold
Its all here, heaven on earth
Thy kingdom come, just know your worth
You are divine in everyway
The moon is full not just today
Its just that till now you couldn’t see
Or solve this greatest mystery
That every night is full moon night
Its only hidden from your sight

Nothing But the Truth

Life is no longer a mystery
Everything is the way it is meant to be
It is such a beauty
That gifts of your duty
The choices you make are your destiny

Its karma that helps you find what you seek
You sow and you nourish and then you reap
Your intentions are seeds
They yield what you need
You wrote your own fate in your history

No there is really noone else there outside
Who will create, will, form, control or decide
Your fortune and future
As per law of nature
Depends just on what you project from inside

So await you no more for messaiahs of lore
Someone to save you wont turn up at your door
Its noone but you
So decide what to do
Your thoughts, feelings, actions are yours to control

Be your own master and master yourself
You can heal and wisen with a little self help
You can learn and teach
Practice what you preach
The universe is constantly healing itself

Soon you will see that the magick in you
Starts growing and glowing, a beacon so true
As above so below
The world will follow
The simple equation of get what you do

The God is the Goddess, the Universe, Nature
Creator of all, past present and future
Its in all of us
We are Universe
Lets be our own saviors, lets be our own teachers

For life is no longer such a mystery
The truth is revealed in all certainty
The new age is here
To free us from fear
And guide us to real love and light, Blessed Be

When Will You Get Your Wishes

People commonly wanted magick to be an instant quick fix cure all thing. They thought spells are a way of paying someone to place an order that you get delivered right at your doorstep.

Thankfully they start questioning themselves when they do not get what they wanted inspite of donating to the temples and churches, inspite of giving millions to healers, tantrics or priests….inspite of wearing costly gems and talismans and burning hundreds of candles and pounds.

So why did they still not get what they wanted so far…
What was the missing ingredient?

Could it be faith?
Faith is not a superstitious belief.
Real faith comes from spiritual awareness.

Can god or goddess be paid to give you what you want?
No, they do not ask for money..because they are nothing but your higher self, the powerful part of you.

You pay for the ingredients for your worship, for the space and time of the religious healing ceremonies or priests..for they simply cannot exist on earth for free..or someone has to pay for them, even if by way of charity.

You need not hire a priest or priestess or perform any complex rituals either…if you have patience and awareness.
You wanted help, quicker results, better guidance…so you hired a priest or priestess or performed rituals or got some healing. But just because you paid for the services or products it does not guarantee that your wish will be fulfilled…noone can guarantee that. Only your higher self decides which of your wishes are worth fulfilling and how.

So lets understand the scientific reason why you did not get what you wanted…

1. Your wish was not positive…
Think of those love struck teenagers wishing for the wrong person..
If you are lucky and performed the right spell…you will NOT get what you want as the higher self being activated with the right healing..will block the wrong relationship. Aren’t you glad that didn’t work in the way you wanted. The right spells will get you what you want only if it harms none and is for the best of all.

2. You performed the wrong ritual or healing…inappropriate technique.
Just why I keep warning you to check the qualification or wisdom level of your healers. Still there are people getting duped by uneducated tantric pretenders who ask you to sell you all your assets if not your soul..and some negative sorcerers who ask you to sell your souls. Just go to right healers who are scientfically spiritual.

3. You were not ready yet to receive
This is a very common reason why spells didn’t seem to work for some of you. They have done the right healing spells with the right masters and systems. Yet unable to reap the fruits of their labour.
One thing is for sure..if the right energy was invested the returns will be there as the law of karma is always certain. You get back in proportion to what you give. But only when you are ready for it.
Imagine……you ordered a beautiful parcel with nice gifts, its ready and shipped to you. You don’t receive it. Either you do not open the door, or you do and find garbage lying outside. This was your garbage.. and it came from all the way inside you and everywhere. Its not that god or goddess didn’t hear your plea. They did. They sent you that blessing. But it simply couldn’t find its way in.

First of all clean the garbage that has been lying there for ages..blocking you, making you less receptive. Your anger, frustration, depression, hate, victimisation, fear, revenge, ignorance, greed, attachments, impatience, cowardice, thanklessness, guile, superstition, falsehood, jealousy, skepticism, shame, guilt, worry………numerous pieces of trash cluttered your door. Let go of them and let there be space for better things to enter. Else you will not even find the delivery note left by your angels asking you when they should visit next. Be ready.
Do the inner work before expecting outer results.
And yes you will be successful in your manifestations.

Blessed be
