This is a nice little spell and I'm pretty sure I have all the components. I'm thinking of doing this one in front of a mirror, whilst staring into it, as well.

So, I've only done this once when I meant to make it a daily thing. I don't know, it was kind of creepy. I do want to do it again, but what if something scary jumps out at me in the mirror? On the other hand, what if I get answers or comfort of some sort? Wouldn't that be just freaking lovely.

Today is Imbolc which means we are halfway through winter! Woot! And the better news here is that it's not going to be like this right up until Spring Equinox. We'll get through this dead of winter thing soon and then the temps will start warming up and the days will get brighter and longer as we move toward spring.

I'm not a moon-following kind of witch (at least not right now), but I think this is nice to have.

I've been out of it for a while. I can't believe that I missed Imbolc! Thanks for the reminder.

Happens to me too; sometimes I miss the Summer Solstice or the Autumn Equinox or some other day. Nice thing about the Pagan umbrella; no obligatory celebrating.

Because I believe it to be true, I find this both unsettling and comforting. Also, I believe this to be a major component in the hexing, cursing (pick your witchy verb) of others. My answer to the question: "Can you really hex me?" is, "Yes. But only because you believe I can." Not that I hex people.

I was once teaching an online friend how to find her inner magic. As we progressed, and she was becoming aware of her own abilities, she started to get scared. She told me that she was afraid that she would hurt someone.

I assured her that she couldn't. The magic that we were bringing out was who SHE is, and she is not the kind of person to hurt others. The fact that she was concerned was proof that it couldn't happen!

When I was around 40, and doing the Buddhist monk thing, I asked to be taught about dark magic. For about 6 months I practiced, making hexes, drawing people to me, changing the entire atmosphere of a gathering. I explored my power and how to project it, or make it invisible.

Interesting juxtaposition being a monk and studying darker magicks. How did that go for you?

 

[Medusa]

Because, for real, you are. And we are all connected by it.

I beautiful moment of realization for her, you brought out.

We all have darker energies, but they are not going to slip out and harm others without direction. She obviously had pure intentions as shown by her concern. So very unlikely she's going to release a Kraken on the world.

You know, it's just occurred though --what a cool moment for her to be feeling her own magick so strongly as to become concerned about it's potential power. That's pretty awesome. Sounds like you really helped her come into her grow.
