A WITCHES MANIFESTO

I DEMAND THESE THINGS OF MYSELF AS A WITCH:

I must pursue my highest ideals
I must aspire to the highest of ethics
I must demand integrity of myself

I must always keep my word

I must cultivate self-discipline
I must LIVE the Hermetic Principle
I must seriously contemplate the ramifications of Reincarnation & Karma

I must respect the astral realms
I must approach ritual with reverence and care
I must respect ritual work as an act of love and beauty.

I must take sole responsibility for all the events and circumstances in my life, in the knowledge that I have created them all for my own development.
I must strive to cultivate a sense of humour and of humility.
I must avoid all negativity, firstly in my thinking and as a consequence, in my life.

I must live in harmony with the Earth Goddess – Gaia.
I must cultivate a global perspective.
I must serve my community, both locally and globally, being of help to all people.

I must be willing to defend my religion.
I must provide for the safe future of my ritual tools, should I be taken by death

A quick note before we get this Saturday going. There will be no scheduled chats this morning or any other Saturday morning for a bit. The reason being is because we are switching chatrooms. The chatroom we have now has lots of problems like people getting booted all the time and lose connections to it. Wix’s has come out with its own chatroom and as soon as we have a chance to check out all the details on it, we will be switching to it. So until further announced there will be no more Saturday chats or any other chats till we are able to switch over.

Another thing, we have had several members ask for more divination. We cater to our members. From now on, we will doing strictly divination during the morning posts. We will throw in our usual, witches’ blessings, prayers and magickal tips pages. When you get tired of all divination, let us know and we will begin rotating back and forth between the Witches’ info and the Daily Divination.

That’s it for now……
