The Sacred Journey

The Way that I was raised in that we are to walk on a Sacred Path and wait patiently for other Pathways or Doors to Open to us and then head down those other Paths if that is what we wish OR if that is where we are instructed to go.

Waiting for the doors to open is a HUGE part of Witchcraft in the way that my Aunt Helen raised me.   She said that we should live a life close to the Earth, in harmony with other people, nature and animals and be as low key as we can to lessen our impact on the Environment.

Another reason would be if you believe in fate.   For example...now this will be a bit radical but lets say that you are supposed to marry a man named Jack.

You have an illness where you lose your teeth (like I did when I was 23).   You want dentures or implants but the door to get them has not opened Yet.   Do you go against the die and the Path?

You do?  

Ok.   So You never meet Jack The Dentist.

I hear you screaming, But wait, I went to the dentist!

Yes but Jack isn't a dentist in the same city where you live, you went at 23 but the door to meet him didnt open till you were 25 and you went by your own choice but at the wrong time.   so no Jack.

I believe in FATE.    I believe that things happen when they are supposed to happen if you are on the correct path for your Journey.

How do doors open?

Books

I am to read various books to lead me and guide me to new changes.   These Books are chosen by The Die.

Believe me this system does work.    

Also connected to Opening doors and being led in new directions is the concept of Climbing The Levels.  

This means earning degrees.

There are 4 degrees to Witchcraft.    6 levels within each degree.

So, as you read and do the tasks inside each book, You are led to many new experiences and changes, hopefully solidifying your Path to The Goddess and to having the life that you will be happy with.

When you finish the Book at hand.   You cast The die to see if you have earned a new level.    If You have-GREAT!

If Not, You ask if you will ever have to read that book again and you move on to the next one.    

What Degree am I?

1st degree still.

In Witchcraft it takes YEARS of hard work and study to become a 4th Degree Witch.   Not a Year and a Day!

Blessings!
