Witches

Witches

 

Witches chant, witches dance.

Witches are of the earth.

 

Chant the prayers that call to mother earth.

Call to her for healing.

 

Full moon rising.

Light shining bright.

 

The fire rises higher,

The chants grow stronger.

 

Feel Mother Earth as she calls to you.

Feel her every breath.

 

Call the four wards,

In their circle, you shall be protected.

 

Do as Ye will,

But harm Ye not.

Ron,
As one who respects the ways of old, though I do not practice them in the form of the Wicca belief I am aware of the significance of your belief in the Sabbats of Beltane and Samhain (and all others) and respect for nature and the tenets of the practice of the white arts.

While attending a gathering of witches and warlocks in WA state some years ago to discuss whether or not Halloween is considered a religious holiday for those who practice Wicca and witchcraft, those in attendance very much considered this to be their religion. A High Priestess was one of the main participants and though I listened to her I did not adhere to her beliefs.

I too have studied the beliefs of the Indian Shaman and believe in the powers of the Shaman and medicine man and understand there are those in my bloodline who have practiced this art. My great grandmother was a full blood Cherokee Indian and many in my family have special gifts of the arts.

You have presented another side to the witch, though many who read this are going to relate to the witch of Halloween who gobbles up little children.

Thank you for sharing part of your belief. I too have read your write of Athena and know of many of those who influence your ways of life.

Loreena McKennett sings many songs of the Celts which speak of the old beliefs and the way of those who celebrated many of your holidays, including Beltane. I often listen to them.

Am I Wiccan? No, I am not. I am a Christian, but I do understand many of your beliefs and I do have certain gifts that remind me of my ancestors of old. Respecting one another is the way we show love, and it is love that I advocate above all else!!

Thank you for reading Sheila. I to believe that respect for another beliefs is something we all should do. We don't all have to agree but we should all respect other points of view. This is some thing I thing a lot of people in power have forgotten. It is (At least in my opinion) what made America great.

Thank you Robbie. I only wish I could have a bonfire and witches circle.

Read about Wicca. It is the equivalent of North American Indian Shamanism. Read the Wicca rede

That is very much the Wiccan way, "Do no harm," as I attended one Wiccan get-together years ago. Yet listening to the raspy chant - I'm like Aieee !! :)

[ron]

Thank you David. I appreciate your review.

[dw817]

Sure. BTW, if you haven't attended a Wiccan get-together before, I can think of no other way to party hearty as it was toto a blast. :D
