Solid Advice
In Scott Cunningham’s book on Wicca, he lists “Thirteen Goals of a Witch.” Take them out of context of the book and they apply wonderfully to any inward journey of the self.
For sake of discussion, here they are:
- Know yourself
- Know your Craft (Wicca)
- Learn
- Apply knowledge with wisdom
- Achieve balance
- Keep your words in good order
- Keep your thoughts in good order
- Celebrate life
- Attune to the cycles of the earth
- Breathe and eat correctly
- Exercise the body
- Meditate
- Honor the Goddess and God
Any and all of these could apply to a Gnostic, a Hindu, a Buddhist for the most part, a Christian could even find a needed spiritual compass in these 13 goals of a witch.
Can someone tell me again why witches are so vilified? Is there anything in here that we all shouldn’t aspire to as humans?
I’m not Wiccan, but the words here speak to me; they make sense.
As a side note: Cunningham has grown on me as a writer. I find his books readable, likable and very valuable as resources.
