Merry meet everyone, So today's post is something I get asked all the time. Either from followers or people I speak to on my travels. This question is so popular because they believe you have to be born into a blood-line to become a witch. This also comes from tv and films that make this type of question even more popular. The short answer to this question is yes you can be a witch but why do you want to be one? I always ask why, its not just to belong to something bigger than yourself. Its because most people want to find the meaning of life in general and thats why most people go to faith. Now being a witch doesn't mean you have to follow the pagan faith. I personally do because I was brought up with the option to be either pagan or christian from family members and I personally found myself drawn to the pagan faith. That being said you don't need to be following a faith to be a pagan. For me being a witch is a way of life in many aspects. You honour the world we live in by looking after what mother earth has given us. She has given us a home to live, the air we breath, the water we drink, the fire to warm ourselves and the earth to plant and feed our selves. She controls everything from weather to seasons and the more you honour her the more you feel connected yourself. There is also the kitchen witchy, where you add herbs to help better your food diet but also herbs have really handy magical aspects that can help with natural remedies. I don't take pain killers very often because I feel like theres better ways to deal with pain out there. Also when I really need them they actually work. The magical side of being a witch is something not all witches take part in very often. Many people think witches cast spells and blessings for everything in their lives. Thats not true. I personally only do magic when needed because the energy you build while doing the spell casting or blessing takes a lot out of you if you don't do it right and even then I don't see the point asking the earth for things I really dont need. I do a lot of blessing workings where I honour the elements or mother earth or even the sabbats and thank them. Most of my friends who are on the same path as me do the same. They will do spell casting when needed but not just to do it. You need to find your own balance of being a witch in a modern world as well. I had this problem myself where I put them in two groups. My witch self and my normal self. It took me awhile that both was just me and I was pulling myself apart for no reason what so ever. I know have a planner to plan both my witchy aspects and my normal daily stuff too. This helps me to connect with my path daily but also helps me be me. Overall Being a witch is a way of life, you honour the world we live in, you drink herbal blends to help heal illness, you ask for help in forms of magic or blessings. You respect one and another because we all belong here no matter what the world states. You live a positive life where only good grows and keep negative energy out of your life because that brings problems. You are always learning new aspects of magic that you want to honour in your own way. You make friends who respect you and your ways as much as you respect them. Its all about balance and if you truly want to become a witch then more than likely your already one! Start your path learning our history, don't go all in but take it slow because if you go all in then you will burn out fast or feel overwhelmed. We have all been there and I don't want to see you going through it too. As always I am here to answer any question you wish to ask. You can ask them bellow in the comments or pm me on instagram.
