We are who we choose to be. Nobody is going to come and save you. You’ve got to save yourself.
Barry Manilow
Witchcraft is an incredibly mental spiritual practice. It requires us not only to hunt down and root out the causes of disempowerment, but to fight back against the source of that disempowerment. For many witches, there are little things that can make a big difference when fighting that good fight. Practices like releasing wicked vows, tapping into egregores, energetic self-orientation, the witch’s dream, lucid dreaming, and visiting the witch’s sabbat are all incredible steps toward exploring the deeper mysteries associated with our lives as witches. They also help us to get control of the way we see and interact with our past, present, and future.
The first part of this book has been devoted to the witch power as a personal psychic extension within the microcosm of your life. It has been all about using this power and refining our practices so that we can unlock greater mysteries and greater power. In the next several chapters, though, we are going to work with the witch power as a tool to engage the macrocosm of the universe. The work that we do in the second part of the book is directly linked to the work we have done in the first part of the book. As we move forward, I would like to remind you of the power you have to create and sculpt reality, and that you have done this in many lifetimes.
In the following chapters, my hope is that I can take you on an occult journey where by tuning in to a certain set of vibrations and working specific rituals, you will be able to push the limits of what we commonly accept as the craft. Through these we travel down a different road where a new perspective on the previous questions can be gained. By exploring these deep mysteries, we can discover aspects of ourselves and our talents that can and will change our lives forever. Even though some of these practices come from my own tradition, I have done my very best to make them as accessible as possible here.
