  • Need a Cure for Corruption? Here is mine…

    Need a Cure for Corruption? Here is mine…

    What is India talking about today, at breakfast, lunch and dinner, on social media and at office, day and night – Corruption and the fight against it…

    Its great that we are being more aware of this illness called corruption.

    We have also seen many talks and debates on the Lokpal bill that is supposed to enhance goverment accountability to citizens. Anna Hazare is the hero of the movement to put this bill in force.

    Now I am a witch, yes I am indeed. And my ways and methods to tackele corruption are a bit different and should I say WITCHY!!

    Let us visualise Corruption as a demon that has possessed India for ages upto now.

    Give it a name, a form, a colour, eg: BLACK demon called Baddie.

    Now light a candle of the chosen colour after carving the name of the demon in this candle.

    So let us assume you now have this black devil candle with the name Baddie carved on it.

    You now want to banish this demon of corruption

    Light the candle and reflect on what all this symbolises…

    What all has this demon made us do? Write it down on a blank paper with black ink (preferably parchment paper with black quill adn bat’s blood ink)

    for example:

    – Elections being rigged
    – Cricket matches fixed
    – Illegal swiss bank accounts
    – Goverment officials being unanswerable
    – Politicians ruling the citizens instead of serving them
    – Government offices being badly kept, lack of online, telephonic help, no call centres, no service attitude
    – HIgh rates of taxes and no justification of the same
    – No proper medical facilties, public healthcare, educational institutions provided to taxpayers – extremely poor quality in government facilities
    – Reservations, reservations for every seat – ensuring that the meritous candidates are neglected and rejected everywhere – all just to please specific votebank communties

    The list I am sure is endless and all citizens will join me in expanding the same…

    Wait a minute, its not over

    Corruption: Is defined by me as a lack of ethics. I do not see it as something that is only present in governments today. I see this as something plaguing the entire human world, down to the lowest strata of society…each and every individual.

    So, also write down what are we all doing that is corrupt – all of us, citizens of India, you and me:

    – Citizens enjoying the facility of easy bribe with which they get away with all kinds of illegal activities on a daily basis
    – Landlords taking black money as advance before signing rental agreements
    – Landlords taking blackmoney every month (undeclared income) in cash
    – Leading and reputed builders all over Mumbai openly asking for cash (upto or more than 40 percent of the house price, sometimes amounting to 3 or 4 crores of cash in black being demanded for a typical three BHK flat in Bandra, Mumbai)
    – Brokers charging indiscriminately high prices for rent and property sale to up their brokerage and therefore creating a racket that ensures that properly prices go high by 50 percent every year…forever
    – Openly cutting trees and chopping off huge parts of trees in the name of ‘pruning’ – BMC approved because some citizen wanted the tree to not obstruct his or her shop
    – People putting up ‘fronts’ to show their work and conducting illegal activities at the backyard.
    – Pirated DVDs being openly sold at every corner and citizens enjoying this facility
    – Telephone and SMS marketing companies easily purchasing client data from employees of various offices even though they are not authorised to part with this data
    – Poaching of the clients and contacts of friends and colleagues easily through social networking and through mobile networks
    – Employees openly stealing company information and also contacts to build their own independent activities
    – Employees doing part time or parallel independent ork while working for their company (even though it is not allowed)
    – Students betraying the teachers by circulating the teacher’s course materials to other students without permissions
    – CAs, public all bribing tax officers to evade taxes of all kinds instead of finding a legitimate solution to bring taxes down or to rationalise tax structure
    – People regularly lying, faking illnesses and avoiding work
    – Peopel using office property, telephones, etc for personal use without authorisation
    – People taking free houses under slum rehabilition scheme and selling off the same in lakhs and going back to slums
    – People stealing other people’s electicity and water supply specially in slums
    – IIllegal squatting on public land for construction of slums and illegal houses
    – people collecting ‘chanda’ for dahi-handi and ganpati and using it for other purposes
    – young citizens carrying banned drugs to parties and pubs regularly without shame

    Oh my goddess…another endless list!!

    We are so ashamed of our government, but not ashamed of ourselves!!!

    Our government and its policies all are reflections of ourself.

    Great sages have always said – ‘aham brahmasmi’ – we carry the universe within. Each one of us.

    If we have corruption inside then NO government, no bill, act, law, no Anna or Baba, no-one shall be able to be free us from the demon of corruption.

    Always remember that which is within you will keep manifesting around you again and again, in some form or another, unless you remove if from within.

    Do you first and foremost want to remove the demon of corruption from WITHIN?

    Yes…a feeble yes, or a strong YES!!

    Now you are ready to complete the spell.

    Burn this list in the black candle and burn the candle off as soon as you can. Dispose all ashes and remains deep into earth.

    Congratulations you have exorcised the demon of corruption, for now!

    Do not invoke it again.

    Shall we all look at ourselves in the mirror and say: we are free of corruption now? I hope you do, I just did…

    Let me know if you did this spell and how you felt about it.

    Be positive. Stay positive.

    Blessed Be!

  • Destiny, Free Will and your Witch Power!

    Who creates your destiny?

    If not you then who?

    When was your destiny written?

    If not NOW, then when?

    Your future is chosen by you, right NOW!

    Anything and everything is possible or probable. Those probabilities that you choose – consciously and subconsciously, create your destiny.

    So far people were not very aware of how to consciously create their future.

    Ask yourself:

    – Are you constantly thinking positive or negative thoughts without any idea of the fact that you are creating your future with them?

    – How aware are you of the techniques of how to control your own mind?

    – Are you aware of your deep beliefs and notions carried from early childhood and past lives, beleifs that were so strongly set, that you were so far unable to shape or modify them easily?

    If yes, then your most probable future has been created very unconsciously by you.

    An expert can see or peek into your probable futures based on various tools that connect with your subconscious mind. I call this process ‘energy reading’ and not future reading or prediction, because what we are actually reading is your present energy patterns based on your past conditioning, assuming that you are most likely to manifest the same thing in future as you were so far programmed to manifest.

    The accuracy of the reading and therefore the extent to which an expert can peek into your future depends on three things;

    a) the experts skills,

    b) the extent to which your sub-conscious mind is programmed or conditioned by your past, and

    c) your own openness and trust in the process and the reader.

    If you are blocked, negative, fearful or un-trusting, it may be difficult for others to help you and you will need more healing to open yourself up.

    There is no need to fear a Divination session. Do not say – I don’t wish to see my future,  ‘coz what if my reading is a sad one…”

    Do not ask, “Will I ever be successful?” or “Will I ever marry?”

    Do not worry if you get a reading that is disheartening at first. You have the power to change everything. If you can see it, you can heal it – with the correct guidance and efforts. You are afterall The Creator!

    You can heal the patterns of your life. If you make conscious positive choices for your future through spells, affirmations, hypnotherapy, right visualizations and healing techniques, you can alter your energy patterns to change your future or luck. Your energy reading will then be different, as your subconscious mind was reprogrammed as a result of the healing. 

    The extent to and speed at which a healing session, crystal, herb, spell or any other energy healing technique works for your depends also upon three things:

    a) The amount of your negative energy blockage that requires cleansing (negative conditioning to be released)

    b) The amount of energy or focus held in the spell, crystal, healing session or therapy that you take

    c) Openness and trust in recieving this healing, knowing that you are indeed manifesting the change you seek

    If you are blocked and keep thinking – “Will it work?”, “When will it work?”, How will it work”, “Let us see if it works…”  you are creating hurdles by not truly trusting yourself.

    The powers to look into our future (that we are manifesting so far) lie dormant in all of us until we start using them consciously. Meditation and third-eye exercises help develop the ESP or extended sensory perceptions that are used in future gazing. A trance like state is utilized to connect with alternate future or past by astral travel into the past or alternate futures or through clairvoyant vision or intuitive sensations. You need the right psychic training and practice in Divination and Psychic Skills. You also need training in Energy Healing Skills that should comprise use of healing tools and basic spells and then you can graduate to learning advanced healing spells, from incantations to magickal potions, and from talismans to sympathetic magick.

    Open your eyes and your mind to knowng who you are – not a mere puppet in the hands of destiny, but the creator of your destiny, and take charge of your life NOW!

    A good witch is an expert healer in addition to an expert ‘seer’.

    This witch power is withing you NOW, waiting to be unleashed!

  • Wicca – The Modern Global Religion of Magick and Witchcraft

    Wicca – The Modern Global Religion of Magick and Witchcraft

    What is Wicca:

    Wicca is a new wave of Magick spreading all over the world as a modern religion that helps you connect and project your inner powers for the benefit of yourself and the universe.

    Wicca is different from ordinary witchcraft and must not be used as
    another term for any witch.

    Sure Wiccans consider themselves to be at the basic level…witches or
    wizards or magickal people, but there are a lot of witches out there
    who practice some kinds of magick or witchcraft but who do not qualify
    as Wiccans.

    To be a Wiccan is to be part of the religion called Wicca. Wicca is a
    modern religion inspired by ancient nature based beliefs and practices
    that include magick. It has developed in the 21st century itself.

    Read More on Wicca on:
    http://www.globalwicca.com/wicca.htm

    WITCHCRAFT AND WICCA:

    A witch can be any kind of magickal practitioner such as a Reiki witch, a Feng Shui witch, a Candle magic witch, a Shaman witch and so on. Any human with magickal powers is arguably a witch and I must declare that we ALL HAVE magickal powers…its just that not all of USE it. With the rise in global consciousness more and more of us are realizing that we create our reality and this is leading to the popularity of Wicca as a modern religious belief system.

    Wicca is a totally specific religious system.

    History of Wicca:

    Religion is shared or organized spirituality.
    The Wiccan religion began as a group based practice of spirituality
    when Gerald Gardner wrote rituals and initiated witches into what is
    known as Gardenerian Wiccan Tradition. Similarly other traditions came
    up over the world to initiate more individuals into various forms of
    Wicca. Each Wiccan tradition is based on their own unique ways of
    practicing the Wiccan faith.

    About the Burning Times:

    About the notorious practice of witch persecutions and the Burning Times, I do not think Wiccans were burnt at all (the religion of Wicca is
    more modern in timeline while the burning time was medieval. The
    classical period of witchhunts in Europe falls into the Early Modern
    period or about 1480 to 1700 while Wiccan religion is coming up in the 21st century itself). Alleged witches are said to have been burnt
    ….though it may have included random people who were believed by the inquisitors to have used magickal powers were punished. Wicca is popular at a fabulous period of human evolution, where we are all accepting that we have free will and can affect our future with harm to none and for the best interest of all concerned. There is no longer a fear of our own inner
    self. We have begun to love and accept the witch we all are.

    Solitary Wicca?

    You can be a Solitary Witch…but can you be a Solitary Wiccan? There is confusion or doubt about whether you can still be called a
    Wiccan if you are not a member of any tradition. In the absence of awareness or access to a Wiccan tradition that resonates with them, some people do fashion themselves as ‘Solitary Wiccans’ inspired by the writings of authors such as Scott Cunningham and may not be initiates of any tradition though they pick up knowledge from here and there and this
    is what was happening so far in India.

    Being a part of a coherent tradition helps you gain clarity and focus on  as your spiritual path and the Global Wicca Tradition headquartered in Mumbai helps you in this with free membership to anyone who wishes to follow the Wiccan faith as well as official initiations for Qualified Wiccan healers on offer.

    Wiccan Traditions:

    Wiccan Traditions can have one of more temples of Wicca and the Global
    Wicca Tradition has started a few temples such as the Online Temple which is free for public (for Online Rituals), Earth Healing Temple (for rituals held in physical location) and a Children’s Temple of Wicca too has just begun. Members who choose to study and learn Wicca need to pass from one to three degrees of Wicca and can choose to be initiated as a priest or priestess of the Tradition (addressed as Clergy) enabling them to take up Wicca as a career offering ritual services to the public with support and backing of our tradition.

    The Global Wicca Tradition (www.globalwicca.com) is newly launched and is the first of its kind to originate in India. We believe in the scientific basis and practical applications of Magick for the benefit of nature (humans seen as part of nature). Global Wicca incorporates deities, gods, goddesses from all over the Globe from several cultures and religious beliefs into their rituals…. in a Wiccan way, making it suitable for people regardless of religious backgrounds and belief systems. You can study the Global Wicca path online as well as offline – refer to the syllabus given on the website.

    The Correllian Tradition headquartered in USA has its own unique philosophy and is a leading organization growing rapidly. I support them as their Clergy member. More on www.correllian.com. Correllian Wicca can be studied through Witchschool International and I am presently in-charge of all their students and mentors in India and also available as mentor on www.witchschool.com

    Remember if you are a student of Wicca you may want to study under at least one tradition or another else you may not get a clear understanding and may remain a dabbler as most solitary ‘Wiccans’ remain.

    To be initiated into one tradition you may be required to study under their system and being a student of one may not automatically make you eligible to join the rituals, practices and to take up initiation of and into another Wiccan Tradition.

    You will find that each tradition is different in ideas, philosophy, leadership, structure, ritual systems and beliefs and you may be a part of one or more tradition if they so allow. In the case that you are associated with more than one tradition, you will have to switch between two differing practices of Wicca as you go from one tradition’s events to another.

    Most Wiccan traditions do however share some common beliefs and practices.

    Basic Wiccan Beliefs:

    • Belief in magick, i.e. we all create our reality and can choose our future consciously.
    • Belief in the five elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit as the five building blocks of creation aid in magick
    • Belief in Deity being both Gods and Goddesses as well as a universal deity that is all encompassing
    • Belief in Karma, or Law of Three (All energy you send comes back to you multiple times of three till you learn the lesson). The core code of conduct in Wicca is a simple and rational one: “Do as You Will as Long as You Harm None” – referred to as The Wiccan Rede that protects you from doing harm to others and yourself. (Just following the Wiccan Rede does not make you Wiccan as Wicca includes several philosophies and practices that need to be learned)

    Wiccan Practices:
    The practice of Wicca includes Rituals (ceremonic rites) celebrating
    the wheel of nature (Seasonal Sabbats and Esbats), and spells
    incorporated within Wiccan Ritual format for various positive purposes
    such as abundance, healing, removing negativity and so on. Here
    different traditions have their own Ritual and you may follow your
    tradition’s format.

    Wiccan Healing as a Professional Service:

    Wicca is not just a method or technique. It is a religious belief
    system. To be a Wiccan is just like being a Hindu, or Christian and so on…it is a religion. (Media, to whom being a Wiccan comes across as a unique thing, sometimes mentions me as simply as ‘Swati Prakash – a Wiccan’ when truly I am a Wiccan Healer, a leader, an expert)

    As a qualified Wiccan Healer, one can surely use the energy and skills for the benefit of the rest of nature.

    You can ask our tradition’s Clergy members to perform ritual services for you (for individuals and for groups). These can be performed by a single clergy member or a group of clergy for greater energy.

    Some more information of the kinds of healing and services provided by
    our tradition is on the following link:

  • 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
