Merry meet!
When will it be normal to say that hello I’m a witch? Or hi I believe in good energy, the power of positive thoughts and that herbs and crystals to clear the mind and protect me, and not get a look like I just fell from the ski and bit off the head of a squirrel? I don’t advertise to everyone that I meet that I’m a witch. But if someone asks me a question regarding spirituality I usually explain how thoughts, words have greater power then people realize. Also that nature holds many keys to health, happiness, and fortune. There has been only one time that someone happen to ask me straight out “what are you some kind of witch”? I’ll admit as I began to answer the words began lodged in my throat. However I did admit that “yup sure am”, and that’s when that just fell from the ski and bit off the head of a squirrel look came. Plus the immediate look of dread. I would just like to know when it will be ok.
There probably is never a “perfect moment” for coming out of thebroom closet to everyone you come in contact with. Of course if you go to any ‘crafty,’ yogic or philisophical workshop, I am sure that comign right out and saying it would be better than in the local grocery. And in teh so called “real world” where people are often brutally taught that magick does in fact not exist, self-proclaiming yourself a witch is sure to get you a few odd stairs. However with exposure and time, and especially with enough good energy and karma it gets better. When people finally see with human eyes (instead of their hegemony lenses) and see another fellow human being, they will (ideally) realize their misunderstanding. And, really who cares what other people think anyway, we have better karma than them anyway…
peace, light & love
