Thirty-years is a long time to feel that there is more in the way of religions, then what is present to every day masses.
Thankfully, I live in a country where Freedom of Religion is not exactly looked down upon, but it is still heavily questioned; even sometimes having hate crimes committed.
Since the World, most of it, is connected fully now through the use of the internet, many people have found out different, yet known ideas of religion. One religion is not even considered a religion, but a mere practice given a name and “indoctrinated evil” history behind it. This is the practice of all forms of Witchcraft.
While I am not a theologian, I have read many articles and books by people of all races, who have studied religion(s) for years. The information presented is the showing of the “who, what, how” different religions came into main stream. I have read how the formation of them was for “this and that”, but at the highest price: persecution. That means the extermination of another religion through any means necessary.
This begins to beg the question of why?
The human soul knows that the origins of his/her being has come from more than the re-written, controlling documents presented, yet it is accepted as “this is all it is”.
If love and understanding are the basic guidelines, why has there been “purification and ethnic cleansing” in the way of torture, dismemberment, and death that go completely against these written and re-written documents?
Most of the answers, if you’d like to call them that, have been along the lines of:
“because this is how the Church wants it” or “this is the right religion everyone should practice”. Overall – it only boils down to: power, control, and money.
How many have died because of any religious belief, currently practiced or not?
How many were accused and then written/studied about years later due to how religion was interpreted, then and now?
How many succumbed to the power and fear of that control?
How many died for the money/”riches”, all in the name of his/her own religious interpretations?
Being thirty-years old, I have “discovered”, in recent years, Witchcraft. As with all of you out there, I do know the taboo charactoristics of it. I also know this is the “root”, if you will, to all religions.
How can it be called a “root”? Simple.
Try and exterminate and persecute all you like, it is still around today. Perhaps more concealed and protected, but stronger because it literally was almost eradicated. It, Witchcraft, is found in every last single known religion around the globe. In some form or another. Witchcraft has rooted and gone away.
How could it be a religion?
It is the same practice of love, understanding and being – just with the grander scale of every single energy pattern flowing in one form or another; through every being, animated or inanimate. It is the oneness to bind us together here and above and below. You are a trinity as well.
Simply put: If we are created in the image of God or Goddess, I.e. The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost, why can’t it exist for you too? As with all religions, they chose to deny this, yet it does exist.
A human being sees dreams; taste and hungers for all kinds of things; hears the wind blow; feels the Earth on their feet; smells the things around them; however, they also use instincts before planting a garden. (It is the observation of the Seasons.) And they also use speech, vocal or in the form of sign language, when praying and asking for things.
As taboo as Witchcraft is and as with any religion (accepted as main stream or not), there is a good use for it and a bad use for it. It is explained in documents to the degree of “if you practice good, it will return to you threefold; if you practice bad it will return to you threefold.”
This happens, in my humble opinion, quicker to the practicing witch(es) because they are tapping into “the original”. They are the vessels of the root seeking to reemerge itself and bring peace to the chaos of forced religious belief and ideas.
It is the basic idea of weeding your garden.
