// The witch looks remarkably ordinary //
There she is in the mirror. Looking very much like a woman getting on with her day.
For me, being a witch means bringing intellect and intuition into the same life. Letting strategy, symbols, research and ritual contribute to how I understand the world—and what I do in it.
I want a language with room for more of human experience. Words for what we can demonstrate, what we notice, what we practise, what we sense and what we still don’t understand. Those distinctions matter. So does having somewhere to begin exploring.
This is part of the work that interests me: what becomes possible when we bring more of our knowledge and practices together? How might we develop our capacity to know, and use it with care?
Meanwhile, the woman in the mirror looks quite ordinary.
I like her.
♥ What part of yourself would you like to bring into the room? ♥
This reflection was prompted by Emma Griffin’s post about what makes someone a witch.
